Live a life of peace, love, and happiness through spiritual awakeningIn Wake Up Now, author Stephan Bodian--nationally recognized expert on meditation and spirituality and former editor-in-chief of Yoga Journal--reveals that spiritual awakening is not some faraway dream, or overly complicated to achieve, but an ever-present reality that is always available here and now. Based on his own experience and over 30 years of teaching the direct approach to spiritual awakening, Bodian has broken down the awakening process into five overlapping, loosely sequential stages: seeking, awakening, deepening and clarifying, embodying, and living the awakened life. Wake Up Now guides you through every stage of the journey, from the process of seeking through the often prolonged and challenging process of integrating the awakening into everyday life. "This book is one of the most concise guides to spiritual awakening I have read. Both profound and practical, it guides the reader through the intricacies of awakening as only someone who has walked the walk themselves can do. The clarity and compassion this book offers the sincere spiritual seeker is both rare and welcome."--Adyashanti, renowned spiritual teacher and author of The Impact of Awakening and Emptiness DancingTopics include:Entering the Gateless Gate; Seeking without a Seeker; Freedom from the Known; The Practice of Presence; Who is Experiencing this Moment Right now; Spontaneous Awakening; In the Wake of Awakening; Embodying the Light; Freeing the Dark Inside the Light; The Awakened Life

Spiritual awakening is not a distant goal. The peace, joy, and wholeness you seek are waiting to be discovered in this very moment. This book is your guide. Infinite Awakening is a comprehensive guide to the "pathless path" of nondual spirituality. It reveals that awakening is the recognition of your true nature--a state of peace, freedom, and interconnectedness that's already complete and present within you. It invites you to explore the immediacy of your "natural state" and embrace awakening as a direct experience. Drawing from decades of experience, including training in Zen, Tibetan Dzogchen, and Advaita Vedanta, and his many years as a spiritual teacher and director of the School for Awakening, author Stephan Bodian addresses essential questions, such as: What are the stages of spiritual awakening? How does the direct approach of the pathless path encourage awakening? What are the common challenges on this path, and how can we work with them? How does nondual spirituality differ from other spiritual perspectives? What is the role of a teacher, and what are the potential pitfalls? How can we live from an awakened understanding in every moment of our lives? How does trauma affect the awakening process? As a teacher and psychotherapist, Bodian demystifies awakening with his down-to-earth approach, offering practical teachings, meditations, direct pointers, and exercises to help you not only wake up but also integrate your realization into the ordinary situations and relationships you encounter in everyday life. Those new to the spiritual path, as well as fans of teachers like Adyashanti, Eckhart Tolle, Loch Kelly, and Sam Harris, will find this an invaluable guide to nondual wisdom and the pathless path.
