20 Best Books For Spiritual Awakening (2023 Update)

Michael bernard beckwith — the dynamic spiritual leader who touched millions of readers and viewers in the secret and through the spiritual community he founded, the agape international spiritual center — is now sharing his transforming central message and his powerfully accessible means for embodying that message in daily life, a process he calls "aspiring toward spiritual liberation." michael beckwith teaches that inner spiritual work, not religiosity or dogma, liberates us. he draws on a wide spectrum of ancient wisdom teachers such as jesus the christ and gautama the buddha; contemporary spiritual luminaries thich nhat hanh, sri aurobindo, and the dalai lama; and western contributors to the new thought tradition of spirituality such as emanuel swedenborg, walter russell, and dr. howard thurman to create a profound new belief synthesis. either read silently or aloud, spiritual liberation can be included during meditation or prayer. each chapter includes an affirmation that distills its core concepts into a sentence or two for the reader to easily practice throughout the day. beckwith's personal and touching accounts guide the practitioner to integrate and activate the intrinsic gifts of divinity into everyday life. the core concepts of beckwith's teachings are cohesively conceived and convincingly stated in the provocative chapters of "spiritual liberation." topics covering "evolved people," "transportation to trans-formation," "transcending the tyranny of trends," and "inner ecology" are some of his foundational teachings that bring together insights from a range of spiritual paths to form a coherent practice that is neither eastern nor western but truly spiritually global. regardless of their belief system, readers will find it impossible to finish this book without at least a few "aha!" moments.

What is kundalini yoga? kundalini yoga is the ancient practice of yoga to awaken shakti or shaktipat. this kundalini yoga book teaches the control of prana or pranayama as taught by sri swami sivananda saraswati for kundalini awakening. kundalini is known as the coiled serpent power or energy dormant at the base of the spine (at the lowest chakra called the muladhara). learning yoga is about more than poses and exercise but meant to lead the genuine truth-seeker to spiritual awakening! for complete health and fitness, kundalini yoga encompasses the eight limbs of yoga which includes asanas, concentration, meditation and samadhi! your sadhana practiced religiously leads one to become a master over ego and ignorance. thus, the true practice of yoga is the union of soul and spirit and this should be the first question on the spiritual path: "how may i come to know god"? god may go by many names in many religions. but god is not a "man" up in the sky! essentially, all religions state that god is omnipresent, omniscient and omnipotent. so it doesn't take a stretch of the imagination to conclude that if god is truly everywhere and everyplace then he must accordingly be within you! this is a question that was first positioned ages ago and there are those that have answered the question for themselves and then provided a roadmap for others to find the same. hence, came the birth of yoga. – yoga is the union of soul and spirit. – it is the means to this union and the state of union. over the ages have evolved many types and branches of yoga that may be more suited for the individual and yet they are all branches of the same tree! kundalini yoga is known as the shakti path to soul awakening or self-realization. kundalini is equated with the intelligent female force that governs mother nature. the same power that brings the universe into manifestation is the same energy dormant within man that can be tapped into to reunite consciousness tied to the physical form and the ego with the cosmic consciousness the soul awakens to in the deepest samadhi! through continued practice it will lead one to liberation from attachment to the physical body. it is a proven system for realizing one's spiritual destiny. sincere and regular effort is required of any yoga path but they all lead to true happiness, inner peace and the dynamic joy of the soul. "many rivers… one ocean; many branches… one tree; many paths… one destination; many stories… one truth!"
