Introducing The Nine Doors to Inner Peace — Book Two of the Still Warrior Teachings

Dear traveler,

Some books arrive like marching bands.
This one arrives like a candle — steady, quiet, and sure of its purpose.

Today, that candle becomes yours.

The Nine Doors to Inner Peace, the second book in the Still Warrior Teachings, has officially stepped into the world.

Book One taught us how to stand.
Book Two teaches us how to stand still inside ourselves — even when the world refuses to stop spinning.

If you can hear a small part of you exhale at that thought…
good.
That’s the part we’re speaking to.

A Quick Reminder of What Makes This Series Different

The Still Warrior Teachings were never meant to be instructions carved into stone.
They’re invitations — gentle ones.
Open-handed, open-hearted.
The kind of wisdom that speaks softly but stays with you long after the page has been turned.

Book One showed the path.
Book Two deepens the walk.

The Nine Doors Themselves

Each Door is a threshold — a way of entering a deeper, steadier version of yourself.

  1. Door One: The Bowed Head — Humility as Strength

  2. Door Two: The Quiet Blade — Silence as Power

  3. Door Three: The Fire Beneath the Water — Love Without Condition

  4. Door Four: The Whisper Between Breaths — Communion, Not Prayer

  5. Door Five: The Flow of Time — Moving in the Eternal Now

  6. Door Six: The Open Hand — Forgiveness as Freedom

  7. Interlude of Stillness — The Space Between Doors

  8. Door Seven: The Still Point — The Secret Beyond Secrets

  9. Reflection — The Path So Far

  10. Door Eight: The Empty Cup — Learning to Unlearn

  11. Door Nine: The Breath Between Worlds — The Practice of Presence

Every Door opens differently.
Some ask you to bow.
Some ask you to breathe.
Some ask you to let go.
But all of them lead toward the same quiet center — your own.

Why This Book Matters Now

Let’s be honest: the world is not offering many tranquil moments on its own.
Chaos is having a bit of a renaissance.
Noise has become an Olympic sport.
And everyone seems one group text away from losing their composure.

This book is meant to be an anchor in that storm.

Not escapism.
Not denial.
Just a way to remain whole without retreating from the world.

Who This Book Is For

Anyone who:

  • Feels pulled in a dozen directions

  • Wants peace without needing a monastery or a mountaintop

  • Longs for meaning that feels lived rather than memorized

  • Or simply wants to remember who they are beneath the noise

If that resonates, then yes — this book was written with you in mind.

A Word From the Inner Teacher

Enter gently.
Take only your breath with you.
Leave only your tension behind.

The Doors will meet you exactly where you are.
And they will not rush you.
They never do.
