"In a fast-paced, turbulent world, it's often hard to feel vibrantly alive. Constantly living from our minds has led to overwhelming feelings of stress, anxiety, and depression -- often manifesting as chronic health conditions. We're yearning for more peace, love, meaning, and embodied aliveness. We're yearning for awakening. Awakening is often portrayed as mysterious, complicated, and dramatic or something that requires traveling to a distant country and sitting at the feet of an enlightened guru. But it's actually something we can choose to do, by engaging five simple and profound practices: Coming back to the present moment ; Connecting with something greater ; Growing our trust ; Embodying love ; Holding openness. Everyday Awakening integrates the best of sprituality, neuroscience, psychology, and therapy so you can change how you embrace every day, every moment, and every choice."--Page 2 of cover.
