Book excerpt: Exploring themes as diverse as ancient Goddess religions, nuclear weapons decision-making and female circumcision, this book examines traditional ways in which power has been abused as a tool to dominate others - physically, sexually, politically and spiritually. Against this background the book outlines an alternative path which the author calls hara power. Hara power refers to the synthesis of physical and spiritual energy, and is also the synthesis of the masculine and feminine within each of us.
