True Awakening: The Highs, the Lows, and the Mess of Spiritual Transformation

The process of awakening is beautiful and challenging. It is also, frankly, an excruciating pain - a lot of the time.

Very few books on spirituality reveal the reality of awakening and address our deep fear of change. In this book Kerra Becker English does both while offering guidance and encouragement for the process-no matter how messy it might get.

In a smart, often funny, voice that is filled with raw honesty English identifies the numerous ways inner spiritual awakening happens: through curiosity, rituals, faith practices, deconstruction, even psychonaut adventures. Exploring classic themes -the hero(ine)'s journey, the dark night, and what it means to answer a call-she reveals the challenges we face as we respond to the terrifying breaking-open of awakening-an invitation that changes everything.
