La resistencia íntima es un atento y profundo ensayo sobre la condición humana. Su autor nos descubre de qué modo el auténtico cuidado de uno mismo da luz y calor a los que están cerca, protegiéndoles y sirviéndoles de guía en el camino.

The ancient Toltecs believed that life, as we perceive it, is a dream. We each live in our own personal dream, and these come together to form the dream of the planet, or the world in which we live. Problems arise when our perception of the dream becomes clouded with negativity, drama, and judgment (of ourselves and others), because it's in these moments of suffering that we have forgotten that we are the architects of our own reality and we have the power to change our dream if we choose.
