Awakening with Ease (AWE) is a universal awareness based process of self-discovery, self-knowledge, contemplative inquiry, and mindful-meditation practices leading to stages of Awakening also called Enlightenment or Bodhi. The cultivation of a loving heart and an open mind with a sense of wonder, curiosity, adventure, wisdom, courage and compassion is all that is needed to put AWE into a daily practice of mindful living with self-awareness.
As our nation and planet face multiple crises on many fronts – political, economic, climate, health, shelter, food, energy, water, and safety of various sections of society, plus crises of leadership at the top, we need wise, mindful and awakened leaders, CEOs, citizens, entrepreneurs, authors, activists, healers, peaceful changemakers, parents and teachers who can embody and model the wise way of compassion with vulnerability and courage, inspire shared vision, right use of collective power and right mindful action.
AWE means recognizing your inherent human capacity to know, observe and be aware of your direct experience without reactivity and judgement and remembering your own basic goodness, and experiential journey with radical honesty, acceptance, loving awareness and self-compassion. Our human heart has the capacity to expand and hold all contradictions, conflicts and emotions and heal them with loving awareness. Our heart can also transform the poison we have unknowingly consumed into a healing medicine for everything that make us suffer in pain, anger, loneliness and despair.
Many women and men feel a sense of urgency to do something to save the world. Yet many feel a sense of separation, deep despair, depression and loneliness they feel life is simply not worth living. There is nothing more urgent than learning to pause and relax our nervous system many times a day with simple mindful micro practices. Developing your own heart-mind capacity for self-care, wisdom and compassion also benefits everyone you interact with.
“You’re own self-realization is the greatest service you can render the world”
– Ramana Maharshi
“Educating the mind, without educating the heart is no education at all”
– Aristotle
The book ‘Awakening with Ease’ is about waking up from the conventional social myth of happiness and freedom based on competition, control, consumption, and accumulation to a deeper dimension of life that is aligned with our true, loving, wise, kind, creative and joyful nature. It is a contemporary universal guide, a modern-day manual and invitation to an ancient way of mindful noble living for self-realization and awakening using the intuitive wisdom of the feminine to uplift and benefit all beings including all people and the planet.
