The challenge of swimming the English Channel is stupendous. Swimmers will have to brave not only the elements, but also their inner demons and weaknesses. Cold water, currents, waves, fog, sudden weather changes, huge cargo ships, jellyfish, swimming in the dark, increasing fatigue, doubt, fears and hours of solitude force the swimmer to dig deep to be able to reach the “Golden Shore.”
For Adriano Passini the English Channel was something like a myth in his youth – fascinating, but impossible to achieve. His life changed when he started to practice meditation. Inspired from within and by his teacher Sri Chinmoy`s philosophy of inner and outer self-transcendence, he decided to take up the challenge.
In this book, he shares the joys and hardships of his two-year-journey of inner and outer preparation and reveals to the reader that, with sincere dedication, determination, the power of the heart, and God’s Grace, seemingly impossible dreams may become a reality.
