Creating Peace by Being Peace represents a synthesis of Gabriel Cousens’ decades of multidisciplinary work in meditation, psychiatry, psychotherapy, and spirituality and guides readers in creating peace on seven levels of engagement, from the body to the ecology to God. Cousens addresses the need to transform humankind with the ancient peace wisdom of the Essenes, and explains the lessons they can teach us as creators of peace. Cousens transfers the gift of the Essenes to modern seekers as a breathing blueprint for realizing this reality as we walk in our lives; work according to our gifts, joys, and sacred design; and live the path of spiritual awakening—the sevenfold peace.
