About the book
The Path to Self Empowerment: My Meditations with Grandma explores overcoming fears, embracing growth, and finding self-confidence. This transformative journey illustrates how change makes anything possible, with meditation serving as the key to unlocking self-empowerment. Anchored in the four pillars of a healthy growth mindset—Acceptance, Gratitude, Forgiveness, and Self-Love—Tenaz Sunavala’s heartfelt debut highlights divine femininity and emotional intelligence. By harmonizing thoughts, actions and intentions, the book empowers women to navigate challenges with empathy and grace, emphasizing that our unique consciousness enables us to transform and choose our own path. Understanding ourselves both physically and emotionally leads to genuine self-empowerment, allowing mindfulness and presence to help us face obstacles and live authentically.
“My life has taken me through the worst struggles and heart-wrenching emotions and has forced me to face them head on, alone. When you’re faced with a struggle in your life, only you have the ability and the power to turn all your negative energies into positive ones. Face everything head-on. Break all barriers. Don’t hold back or let anyone hold you back. Face fear, and know that it’s useless energy that has no substance. Don’t let fear, the past, what-if’s, and your physical realities overpower your spiritual realities. The past is gone. The moment is all we have. The future is yours to write! Mistakes and failures are okay. They’re part of the learning process, so keep learning.”
Kind words from lovely people
I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book. It is honest, courageous, upbeat, laced with light humor, discusses in beneficial, productive ways, a huge range of experiences, and I love Tenaz's (non-guru) interactive approach. Although I am not into chakras, I was struck by so much that is valuable, insightful, relevant to our lives, which touched me at a deep level -- awesome and useful steps to both spiritual and practical growth as human beings. In addition to meditation, Tenaz speaks of four keys to self-empowerment: acceptance, gratitude, forgiveness, and self-love. But in addition, her whole book is a living, breathing testament to also loving, helping, and empowering each other. A very worthwhile, practical, book that helps us to break the shackles that keep us from realizing our best potential. Thank you, Tenaz!
Although the book is targeted mainly for women, the insights described are relevant to anyone – male, female, or otherwise - who has experienced emotional trauma in their past and continues to suffer from its ill-effects. In this story of self-reflection through meditation, you will embark on a journey of self-discovery. Along the way, you will unlock the four keys on the path to self-empowerment: acceptance, gratitude, forgiveness, and self-love. You will find that our purpose, the answers we seek, are found within each of us. Some important takeaways that I personally got from reading the book are:
- Quieten your mind and the noise of the world around you
- Face your fears and heal
- Emerge as their true and authentic version of yourself
- Live a life of contentment
In Tenaz’s case, her purpose now is promoting 'Healing through Story-Telling'
Hi, I'm Tenaz
Tenaz grew up in the northeast part of the United States. Although she came from a privileged socio-economic background and pursued the traditional ‘American Dream’—quality education, marriage, children, a successful career, a beautiful home, a loving family, and a vibrant social life—she soon realized these external achievements did not bring true happiness. The stress and emotional turmoil of chasing these dreams led her to seek a different path towards emotional well-being through Self-Empowerment.
