“Waking Up in the World” offers a practical roadmap for awakening and personal growth. Drawing from my own journey—from troubled youth to a waking path teacher—it weaves together insights from diverse disciplines, including Buddhism, Kundalini and Kriya Yoga, Advaita Vedanta, and Western psychology.
 
The book is centred around ten guiding principles: psyche, meditation, intention, physical body, subtle body, compassion, healing, relationships, planet earth, and daily practice. It’s designed to be accessible to everyone, whether you come from a spiritual tradition or take a more secular approach to life.
 
With practical tools and timeless wisdom, Waking Up in the World is a resource for both beginners and seasoned practitioners, helping us cultivate deeper connections with ourselves, others, and the planet.
