Synopsis

Awakening to Wholeness describes a two-fold path of awakening that combines psychological and spiritual development. Psychology is concerned with the personal aspects of our being (the body, emotions, mind and ego-self), while spirituality is concerned with the transpersonal aspects of our being (the soul and true Self). This book clearly and comprehensively describes the dynamics of human consciousness, ego-formation, psychological healing, personal development and spiritual growth.

Across seven chapters, the book moves from theory into practice. It begins by examining human consciousness itself, the Self, and the mind, heart and body through which we experience life, before turning to the human condition: the wounds, patterns and defences that keep us from living fully. From there it explores human potential and personal development, before introducing a set of practical self-help techniques for healing trauma and re-integrating the parts of the psyche we've disowned, including the inner child. The final chapters turn towards spiritual development and the process of awakening, realisation and enlightenment itself.

It draws on a range of established approaches, including the Diamond Approach, Psychosynthesis and Internal Family Systems, and includes transformational tools, techniques and practices that can help you to:

• Understand why you think and behave the way you do
• Heal and re-integrate the wounded parts of your psyche
• Manifest your full potential
• Let go of the things that are holding you back
• Lead a happier, richer and more fulfilling life
• Know and express your true Self
• Realise that what you have been searching for has always been here, inside you
• Recognise that the opportunity to awaken is always right here, right now

Whether you're new to psychological and spiritual work or have been on the path for years, Awakening to Wholeness offers a coherent map for the journey, one that treats healing and awakening not as separate pursuits, but as two halves of the same process of becoming whole.
