A couple of years back I headed off to Singapore for Vale Tudo coaching, while there the trinity of self was in an amazing place. Mind, body and spirit were in a beautiful harmony, I was training hard, experiencing different cultures, reading heavily and was somebody slipped a little something into my education.

Walking through one of their beautiful bookstores I grabbed a copy of The Ethical Slut and my coach forced upon me a rather odd looking book Shambhala: The sacred path of the warrior. After being mostly left on my bookshelf for a good 4 years I finally opened it up last night, and it's rather beautiful.

It is a lesson in personal mastery, a practice in acquiring personal freedom through gentleness, courage and self-knowledge. Without attaching to any specific culture it pulls together the potential richness of humanity.
