“Arise! Awake! And stop not till the goal is reached.”
—Swami Vivekananda
"Dear ones, all beings have Awakeness within them.”
—Tathāgatagarbha Sūtra
What does it mean to be Awake, and how do we experience Awakeness? In Awake: The Yoga of Pure Awareness, Swami Nityananda shares that Awakeness is our true nature, energy, matrix, our divine blueprint. She guides us with freshness and simplicity in how we can use every day experiences to Awaken to our true Self and be present to that dynamic light in everyone and everything, no matter what is happening. Enjoy this sacred journey of realizing Awakeness, the path that brings us into contact with the energy which allows all things to be possible. Deepen your relationship with Awakeness that is all and accomplishes all through each of us.
The book shares meditations on teachings from the Tathāgatagarbha Sūtra that carry direct Awake energy. These teachings help activate within us the Awakeness that we are always. We access what the sacred verses proclaim: a matrix of Awakeness, a womb of sacredness, a dynamic source of sacred vitality, inspiration, and illumination exists within everyone on the planet.
Awake: The Yoga of Pure Awareness is based on talks given at the meditation community at Awake Yoga Meditation in Baltimore, Maryland, from February–April 2018. The talks are prepared by meditating on sacred teachings and are then spoken spontaneously without notes. This yogic practice is connected with Awakeness in action, inviting us to meditate on wisdom and pure love and open to new insight and kindness every moment. The book is created from transcribed talks and conveys the energy and joy of meditating individually and in community.
