Flowers in the Dark. Practices to Help Heal from Trauma and Find Inner Grounding

A book about how to cope with the aftermath of a traumatic event using mindfulness practice.

In this clear and wise book, Buddhist nun and former doctor Dang Nguiem describes an approach to healing from trauma using mindfulness practice. Nguiem teaches readers meditation, breathing techniques, and self-love affirmations that help eliminate the emotional and physical consequences of traumatic experiences. In addition to practices, Nguiem provides scientific data she obtained during her medical training, as well as personal stories. These short tales enhance the book’s emotional impact, especially when Nguiem shares her own experience: she survived violence.

The book will be helpful not only to those who have experienced trauma, but to anyone looking for opportunities for growth and self-discovery.
