Awakening: A Daily Guide to Conscious Living

by Shakti Gawain

Bringing one’s personal life into alignment with the natural laws and universal principles is the great challenge for today’s seekers. Information overload, a lack of time, and an inability to connect with essential spiritual teachings conspire to make the journey to consciousness a daunting one. In Awakening: A Daily Guide to Conscious Living, preeminent teacher Shakti Gawain offers gentle daily guidance for that journey. A classic book of days, Awakening is organized around the calendar year and the seasons. Each of the 365 entries is clear and simple, consisting of a heading, a short message, and an affirmation or question. The author shows readers how to recognize and release old patterns and beliefs, and to open to new and nurturing ways in all areas of their lives. Equal parts affirmation and stimulation, these daily doses of wisdom put readers on the path to greater awareness of their own sense of spiritual truth.

... another of the daily thought provoking/devotional type books that I read ... usually before my feet hit the floor in the morning - takes about 5 minutes and it sets my mind in a positive, useful direction.

This book has been my beside companion since I was 13 years old. Althought it didn't fully sink in until I read The Power of Now, it has been there for me along the way. It's a book of daily affirmations and reflections and I love it.

It was a gift from my daughter and I refer to it often.

An informative journey

I began this book originally in 2019, 8 months before COVID started. I found the book great then because it helped me with the beginning of COVID be preparing me for the inner work caused during this time period in my life. I decided to repeat it again in 2023 and it was just as helpful taking me through the journey of myself. I’ve recommended this book to many of my friends who have enjoyed it just as much.

Geweldig boekje. Elke dag van het jaar een nieuwe inspirerende spreuk met een affirmatie erbij. Sommige spreuken zijn geclusterd in een serie over een aantal dagen. Heel mooi, ik ga het missen. Of ... een nieuw, vergelijkbaar boekje zoeken ;-)

Read her books before - brilliant. These are daily thoughts. I'm pretty sure she didn't write them, some are just utter drivel

This book has been a helpful guide to me in my inner journey! Followings and applying Shakti’s teachings lead my life towards harmony and flow. I came across to it “right time”.

This is a daily meditation book!

I have read it several times - and taking another re-read in 2024.

Har den svenska upplagen, "Uppvaknande", en behändig mini-bok med dagliga meditationer, affirmationer, trots att affirmationer inte ligger för mig, var den mycket tänkvärd.
