“Everyday Awakening is your road map to living a fully engaged life.” —MEL ROBBINS, New York Times bestselling author and host of The Mel Robbins Podcast
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 spirituality, neuroscience, psychology, and therapy so you can change how you embrace every day, every moment, and every choice.
Drawing from decades of her personal and professional experience in healthcare, spiritual care, and complementary healing, Catherine Duncan offers a wealth of options―including breathwork, meditations, grounding rituals, and other exercises―for bringing each of the five practices into your daily life. You will begin to move from stress to presence, from your mind into your heart and soul.
Your Everyday Awakening is right in front of you.
Catherine’s new book, Everyday Awakening – Five Practices for Living Fully, Feeling Deeply, and Coming into Your Heart and Soul, explores a fresh, integrative approach to inner peace and self-discovery. Drawing on her experience as a board-certified chaplain and spiritual consultant, she delves into actionable practices designed to help people cultivate a sense of calm and meaning amidst life’s chaos. Her insights mirror the growing movement of mindfulness and reconnecting with nature, much like Perry’s call to “touch grass.”
Catherine’s practical tips for becoming fully awake include:
- Being here now fully: Cultivating presence in daily life, tuning into the richness of each moment.
- Dropping into your heart: Embracing vulnerability and emotional awareness as pathways to healing.
- Feeling your intuition: Trusting inner guidance for clarity and peace.
- Realizing that love is the number one thing: Approaching life with gentleness and compassion for oneself and others.
