Calm & Comfortable

Awareness is not easy ... and it can be filled with conflicting emotions ... this book and CD set gives the reader comfortable confidence, a feeling of can-do optimism that whatever we recognize about ourselves is OK and part of a pattern, to be learned and known, not feared. It's a refreshing and hopeful approach. Very welcome.

A GUIDE FOR THE SPIRITUAL JOURNEY

Discovering Awareness is an important book, not just for those familiar with Tony d'Souza's masterful program of spiritual guidance, but for all who are embarked on the journey toward spiritual wholeness. The organization of the book is excellent. Co=authored by Bud Wonsiewicz, it is designed in a way thatis "user friendly". The book guides the reader into a clear understanding of the principles behind one's spiritual quest. It then provides meditative exercises based on those principles and designed to open the person's awareness of her or his spiritual reality. One is cautioned to be patient in the practice of these exercises; they are intended to be used in an ongoing, repetitive way. The quest for spiritual growth is, after all, a life-long task. In this book one has been given a guide; the practice is up to the individual. Particularly enlightening are the topics of Truth and Fear. For me, it gave a new understanding; one which has stoked the fire of my efforts. I would especially recommend that the reader purchase, along with the book, the accoompanying CD collection of Tony's guided meditations. In any case, both the book and the guided meditations will be used over and over again. They should be treated as ongoing and beloved resources in one's ongoing quest for awareness.

A valuable guide for individuals and couples

The chapters are short and the concepts are simply expressed but there is great wisdom on almost every page. My wife and I found the book to be helpful for ourseleves and our relationship and we plan to use it as a basis for ongoing interpersonal discussion.

Worth the effort

I read through the book quickly and then went back and did each chapter and exercise. The first tries were challenging, but by the time I got to the end, it was wonderful. I have a new awareness about myself. Every day something comes up that causes me to reflect on this book. I am now working on the meditations. I have never meditated before and this CD make its easier. This is a process and worth the effort to do it.
