A Mindful Path to Resilience
Trauma can shape your story, but it doesn’t have to define it. In Reignite Your Power: Resolving Trauma Through Mindfulness, Dr. Pawan Bareja, PhD, offers a bridge between Buddhist psychology, neuroscience, and mindfulness to help you release old wounds, regulate your nervous system, and reconnect with joy.
Drawing from two decades of trauma healing work—and her own journey through loss, illness, and transformation—Pawan invites you to walk a gentle, science-backed path toward emotional balance, compassion, and embodied freedom.
“A must-read compassionate and
empowering guide to healing trauma.”
— Peter A. Levine, PhD, developer of Somatic Experiencing®

Praise for Reignite Your Power
"I walked away feeling calmer and more connected to myself, which is not something I can say about every book on healing. I would recommend Reignite Your Power to anyone who has been carrying emotional pain and wants a softer, grounded approach to working through it. It is also a great fit for people who enjoy mindfulness, spirituality, or psychology but want those ideas explained in plain language. It feels especially right for readers who want guidance that is kind and practical." <READ FULL REVIEW>>
