Purchase options and add-ons

We live in a world where we're all about updating. We update our computers, phones, cars, careers - even our partners. Now it's time to update your personal philosophy and view. In essence, it's time to update you. Being of Power is about transforming relationships. Not just with others, but with yourself, your experiences, your work, your purpose - how you relate to everything in your life. Here you will find the tools to enable you to break through the limiting views that have been keeping you stuck, frustrated and unfulfilled; expand your viewpoint to see new possibilities; and come into your authentic self.

The nine practices in this book are the stepping-stones on the path back to your essential authenticity, which is where your greatest power lies. These are practices to put into action minute by minute, day by day. We don't master them all at once; instead, we work them in each present moment, again and again, until eventually we come to embody them as a natural way of being. This is how we transform.

The aim of this book is not to tell you 'the truth', but rather to help you rediscover your own truth. Your deepest power comes from what you already know inside. You have the intelligence. You have the answers. The nine practices of transformation will simply allow you to dissolve the blocks standing in your way and access the wisdom that's already within you. They will show you how to put your essentially powerful way of being into action so you can create new, expanded results in your life. At its core, this book is about connecting to your authentic self and rediscovering who you are and what's possible.

    I have attended several trainings with Baron Baptiste, and in each instance, I created empowerment, inspiration and a great love of my life. Being of Power: The 9 Practices to Ignite an Empowered Life captures the ideas and philosophies that Baron teaches in a brilliant and conversational book that has the power to help you create the life you want. The practices contained in this book are not just talk-- Baron teaches and lives these, and shares them with his students. As a bit of a hard head, I am thrilled to have these practices in book form to remind me of these life-changing tools!

    Recently, I was feeling disconnected -- in a funk. On a long airplane ride, I cracked open my favorite teacher's newest book, Being of Power: The 9 Practices to Ignite an Empowered Life and BOOM! Funk dissolved. In the pages of this amazing and honest book, I found inspiration. It was like my teacher and friend Baron Baptiste was on hand to remind me that I already have everything I need to live my life fully. Like many people, I was allowing things to get in my way. Reading this book reminded me that I am the director of my life, and that I can choose happiness at any time. I told my friends that having Being of Power: The 9 Practices to Ignite an Empowered Life on hand was like having Baron in my backpack.

    Journey Into Power planted the seeds of empowerment and introduced me to Baron Baptiste and got me to his first yoga training. 40 Days to Personal Revolution became the fertilizer that helped me change my relationship with food and introduced me to a new and powerful way of thinking. Being of Power: The 9 Practices to Ignite an Empowered Life is the fruit--- the juicy, delicious reminder that life is a choice, and I can BE what I want to BE!

    As a yoga teacher and trainer, I am always looking for tools to empower my students and yoga teachers in training. Being of Power: The 9 Practices to Ignite an Empowered Life will forever join the list of required reading for all of my future students, and top the list of books I will give to my friends and loved ones. READ THIS BOOK. Empower yourself and empower your world!

    Reviewed in the United States on April 27, 2013

    I have been to several of Baron Baptiste's trainings, and I can tell you that the practices he outlines in this book have changed my life in real, lasting and spectacular ways. I have read tons of books, racked up Ivy League degrees, and received leadership training in some of the top corporations in the U.S., and nothing has had the kind of impact on my life as Baron's teachings have. I have gone from a history of chronic physical pain, failed relationships, stagnant and fulfilling jobs and distance from family and friends to complete health, a strong and loving marriage, a fun and inspiring career and deep connections with the people who matter most to me. The difference is that Baron addressed what was really at the core of my self-limiting habits - me, and my beliefs about myself.

    What has worked for me has been putting these practices to work in my life, every day. Without this discipline, and tendency of my mind is to slip back into old patterns, so just as in yoga or meditation practice, it requires me to come back and do the work, again and again. This is what has brought me back to Baron's weeklong trainings year after year, to clear any old patterns that have crept in, and to peel back the layers of my resistance even further. I still will go to the trainings, because there is just nothing like being with Baron himself and 150 other people doing this work, but with this book I now have a clear and firm roadmap to guide me in all of those weeks in between.

    A friend of mine recommended Baron's book Journey Into Power to me 10 years ago and said, "Read this, it will change your life." I waited three years, but when I finally did read it, my friend was right. With this new book, Baron generously reveals the teachings that have been at the heart of his programs, which have transformed the lives of tens of thousands of people. Read it - it WILL change your life.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Being of Power / Living Your True Authentic Self
    Reviewed in the United States on December 25, 2013
    Verified Purchase
    Today you hear a lot about, what is our conversation about life and who we are in this Master Plan. I have spent a lifetime searching and studying. I was teaching Meditation before people even knew what it was. I lived in Ashrams, I walked with
    the Monks, I had dinners with the Teachers from all walks of Life. And the conversation was always the same.

    Being our Authentic Self no matter what. Live your Dreams, no matter what. Be your Best, no matter what. Live from your
    Heart and follow the Light in your Soul. You have to be yourself, because everyone else is taken. There is a great bumper
    sticker that I love: Remember what you wanted to Be!

    Being of Power, Baron Baptiste reminds us and teaches that the only thing that works, is honoring our Authentic Self. Perhaps its sounds used and dated, but the truth is, Truth is Truth, it's the one thing that never changes.

    At some point in our lives we have to stop telling our stories, clear the path and just Live in the moment of Truth. Our stories that we keep telling, seem to twist and turn, until the stories become distorted and little real truth of the story exist. We don't need stories, we don't need to keep telling the same story over and over, what is needed is to stay present, be Authentic in all your
    actions, and celebrate Your Life.

    I think Being of Power reminds Us, that telling our stories keeps us in the Past and doesn't allow room for the new. To keep our Lives fresh and exciting and real, we need to Honor our own Life and when we do that, then Honoring others becomes the
    Real Gift.

    Being of Power is a good book to put us back on the Path. A brush up on why we are here in the first place. Finding the Truth.

    Baron Baptiste is not only an amazing Yoga teacher, but also a great speaker who knows how to comunicate his way of thinking. This is not a book about Yoga postures, but about life, your own life, and how to make it better, how to make yourself a better and happier person. I highly reccomend it if you want or need to update your life and inner emotions.

    Le contenu est synthétique et très bien structuré, alternant de la théorie, des exemples sous forme d'anecdotes et des exercices simples à mettre à mettre en pratique.
    Il s'agit, à la fois d'un guide et d'un livre abordant les éléments permettant d'améliorer notre capacité à vivre 'à 100%' :
    - Aborder les difficultés
    - Etre authentique
    - Prendre sa place
    - 'Let it be'
    - La force de l'intention
    - La 'Northern Star'.
    dans un anglais abordable !
    J'ai adoré !

    Great book if you are invested in living an empowered life!
    I’m a transformational coach and lead my work and my life around self sovereignty - living an empowered life - one that is liberated.
    I’ve read many books but this in my view is clear, embodied in experience and teaching.
    This is not a fad book but one that structures the elements and key points. Excellent.

    I bought this book after taking the 200hr teacher training program with PYC. as a reminder of some of the lessons we learned in training. I am glad to have it with me now to go along with my notes, journal entries, etc. This book is lovely for practitioners or for a friend who isn't even interested in yoga= a book that helps us work on.... us.
    If you are interested in continuing your inner search, this will be a great book to either add in a different take on the topic, try this book.
    Also, I found coming home and trying to share some of the ideas, was hard to those that were not there with me, this book may be a lovely gift to help share your new perspectives without creating miscommunication to those around you.
