Flowers in the Dark: Reclaiming Your Power to Heal from Trauma with Mindfulness

Flowers in the Dark is a groundbreaking book that offers a body-based, practical approach to healing from life's most difficult and painful experiences.

Drawing on her lived experience as a survivor, certified MD, and ordained Buddhist teacher, author Sister Dang Nghiem provides insights from Buddhist psychology and simple somatic practices for tapping into our Five Strengths—our inner faculties of self-trust, diligence, mindfulness, concentration, and insight.

With each chapter containing a progression of guided reflections and exercises, this book can be read as an adjunct to therapy and a helpful guide for moving through trauma in the body.

By practicing mindfulness, we can access our strength as survivors and our joy in being alive.

This book is highly recommended by Rick Hanson, PhD, author of Buddha's Brain.
