In Embodied Enlightenment, contemporary spiritual teacher Amoda Maa Jeevan dispels the outdated view of a transcendent enlightenment and instead presents a new, feminine expression of awakened consciousness for all—one that is felt and known through what our everyday lives are made our emotions, bodies, intimate relationships, work, and life’s purpose. This book is a direct invitation to awaken in a profound, embodied way, and to participate in a collective evolution that can create a new world.
When many of us think of enlightenment, we may envision a life of seclusion and contemplation, transcending the body and worldly attachments, or the achievement of karmic perfection. But what if, rather than something reserved for the mountaintop meditator or sage, the call to awaken is meant for us all? And how can we consciously live that awakening in the midst of our complex, messy, modern lives?
Speaking from her own awakened experience, Amoda Maa Jeevan offers a timeless wisdom, busting some of the common myths about enlightenment and addressing topics often excluded from more traditional spiritual conversations—from the connection between consciousness and the body to relationships to planetary health. In addition, she covers the unfamiliar territory of what happens after enlightenment, delving into awakened action, creative expression, and more.
There’s an urgency today to evolve beyond humanity’s current ego-based paradigm, and along with it, a unique expression of enlightenment is emerging. With clarity, passion, and grace, Embodied Enlightenment invites you on an exploration of consciousness that embraces both the messiness of your earthly experience and the non-duality of pure awareness, offering guidance on how your daily life can bring you into alignment with a divine destiny of individual and collective awakening.
Quite possibly the most profound spiritual book I’ve ever read, I cherished the time I spent immersed in Embodied Enlightenment. Amoda Maa’s writing is lyrical, inspirational and deeply moving.
Read this is you want to anchor in love and oneness in a world that appears to perpetuate conflict and separation. It’s like a hug for your soul that will gently nudge you back towards the path of what truly matters.
If you consider yourself a ‘spiritual seeker,’ I have good news- the search is over. Do yourself a favor and buy a copy for you and the people you love.
Embodied Enlightenment arrived in my life at the perfect time and I’m so grateful I was guided to read it. This is most definitely a desert-island book for me and one that I expect will remain a permanent fixture on my bedside table.
Embodied Enlightenment is perfect for fans of The Power of Now especially because the subject is approached from a fresh and modern female perspective. I can’t wait to read Amoda Maa’s newest book Falling Open in a World Falling Apart.
