BEING CENTERED explains how our life is a spiritual journey, and it gives practical advice for how to focus on and achieve mental and spiritual well being: how to "reconnect to our power, joy, and healing." Moreover, Roman Yaworsky conveys considerable wisdom about human behavior, as well as insight into the various pitfalls we often encounter on our life journeys. For instance, a chapter on Regaining Your Power points out, in bold face type so you don't miss it, that you never truly lose your power or give it away, you give away your "responsibility for using your power, your responsibility to derive benefit from it, or your responsibility to experience the joy of being in your power." Yaworsky then goes on to discuss at length the benefits of owning our power, and he provides concrete exercises to help achieve this, such as a "Will Recovery Checklist" that identifies specific things people do to submerge their own volition. Yaworksy then provides exercises for recognizing and reversing these behaviors in ourselves. Another checklist, Ways to Avoid Getting What You Want, provides 12 behaviors through which we subordinate ourselves and give away power; for instance by not asking for what we want, by being indirect, by telling others that "it doesn't matter," and by failing to accept gifts with warmth and thankfulness. Ultimately, BEING CENTERED encourages us to look more closely at our own lives and behaviors, to recognize where we have lost our balance in our efforts to achieve the kind of spiritual fulfillment that brings life its greatest joy, and to take very concrete and practical steps for "being centered." The book is clearly written and easy to follow: profound but not abstract.
Like no other perspective I've ever come across

Roman Yaworsky's broad and extensive knowledge of things scientific, astrological, and metaphysical makes this book rich in perspectives I've never before considered in all my years of psychological and spiritual exploration. I think the text is best absorbed in bits, because it's so rich in concept and detail. His effort in giving readers the clearest and most definitive understanding possible of ancient and complex phenomena makes the book a continuous resource. Laura Cerwinske [...]
