219 pages, paperback.

A modern, comprehensive resource on spiritual awakenings, this pragmatic clear guide covers everything from the first step on a spiritual journey to enlightenment, and the different types of spiritual awakenings, from mild to dramatic, we may go through.

Using the concept of the twelve layers that cover an awakened state, Mary Mueller Shutan addresses every step of the spiritual journey, starting with the Self and showing how family, ancestry, past lives, karmic, archetypal, and other larger layers such as societal, cultural, global, and cosmic energies condition us to sleep and obscure our realisation of an awakened state. Instructions for how to navigate through each of these layers and how to recognize where we are in our spiritual journey are included each step of the way along with common physical, emotional, and spiritual symptoms that may occur. 

By addressing post-awakening states, oneness, dark nights of the soul, ego death, near-death, psychic abilities and more, we understand the experiences we may go through while struggling with spiritual awakening.

This practical book opens new understandings of how we are meant to exist in the world, as fully awakened individuals within our human bodies. We truly have the opportunity to lead a grounded, earth-bound and fulfilled life, experiencing work, family, friends - everything - in an awakened state.
