Amoda Maa Jeevan is a contemporary spiritual teacher and author. In 2002, after many years of spiritual seeking, meditation, and immersion in psychospiritual practices, an experience of the dark night of the soul led to a profound inner awakening. After a long period of integration, in 2012, she started speaking from silence in small gatherings in the UK. Today, she offers meetings and retreats to a growing global audience. Amoda Maa is be oming known as a unique voice, attracting spiritual seekers from the non-dual community, as well as more diverse seekers such as students of A Course in Miracles and New Thought. She has been a guest on Conscious TV and Buddha at the Gas Pump, and is also a regular speaker at the SAND (Science and Nonduality) Conference and the Open Circle Center in the United States. Amoda Maa's background in psychology and her experience for many years as a transformational group facilitator and emotional/spiritual counselor, as well as her personal journey through suffering, have led to an innate wisdom rooted in direct experience and a conviction of clarity. Her teaching today emanates the untamable fragrance of freedom while radically embracing the totality of the human experience. Amoda Maa is the author of two books, How to Find God in Everything (Watkins, 2008; released as a revised edition, Radical Awakening, in March 2016) and Change Your Life, Change Your World (Watkins, 2012), both of which arose out of a mystical vision around the same time as her awakening. In this vision, she was shown the key to humanity's suffering and the potential for the birth of a new consciousness and a new world. While the expression of her writing and speaking since then has evolved in both depth and breadth, this vision has been the catalyst for her work. Embodied Enlightenment is based on both her vision for humanity as well as the conversations that arise at the cutting edge of non-duality in her meetings with people from all around the world.
"Embodied Enlightenment eloquently challenges us to honestly
and intimately meet our experience just as it is, and to awaken out
of the trance of the perpetually seeking separate self. This is a
deeply illuminating description of how an awakened life transmutes
the ordinary arenas of relationships, work, sex, money, the body,
and life purpose. A beautifully written, inspiring, and distinctly
feminine call to consciously embody the unfolding edge of
evolution. I highly recommend it!"
--John J.Prendergast, PhD, author of In Touch,
adjunct professor of psychology at California Institute of Integral
Studies, and psychotherapist
"Amoda Maa is a fresh, clear voice of the grounded feminine who
speaks directly to the heart of anyone hungering for lasting peace
in a turbulent and uncertain world. The clarity of her realization
shines forth through her words, as she calls for us all to
consciously embody the living truth in our ordinary human
existence."
--Shanti Einolander, founder of ONE The Magazine
"Amoda Maa is a gracious and powerful guide who steers a clear and
honest path through the mist of confusion and misunderstanding
about the awakened state to hold a new, revelatory light to all
that was previously unclear or speculated on. Here, the old,
outmoded ways of viewing liberation are cast aside for a more
informed, enriching vision of enlightenment--one that embraces our
twenty-first-century sensibilities and shies away from
nothing."
--Stephen Gawtry, managing editor of Watkins Mind Body
Spirit Magazine
"Amoda Maa reminds us that enlightenment is not simply a
transcendent spiritual orgasm into knowing ourselves as unchanging
awareness; it invites us ever more deeply into our humanity, into
the paradoxes of life, with an unconditional embrace. Her voice is
a breath of fresh air in its precision and breadth, as well as its
depth and down-to-earth parlance. I am sure Embodied
Enlightenment will become a true companion to those willing to
walk an integrated spiritual path."
--Miranda Macpherson, author of Boundless Love
"As the invitation to awaken from the dream of separation is being
felt more strongly, both on a collective and individual level, so
too arises the need for skillful guides familiar with this
paradoxical new landscape. Amoda Maa is one such friend on the
path; a gentle but rigorous companion on the journey of unfolding
to being both fully awake and fully human. Embodied
Enlightenment is a beautiful and precious gift to an emerging
new humanity."
--Julian Noyce, founder of Non-Duality Press
"Enlightenment has long been associated with an austere, recluse
lifestyle. But today, people fully engaged in worldly
responsibilities are waking up. Ancient traditions may not
adequately support their awakening in the midst of 'real-world'
concerns such as health, finances, relationships, et cetera. Amoda
Maa is one of the brightest of a new generation of spiritual
teachers who are meeting that need. She has been prepared for this
role in a crucible of personal transformation, and is now
fulfilling it admirably."
--Rick Archer, creator and host of Buddha at the Gas
Pump
"Given everything that is going on in the world today, more
spiritual seekers are beginning to suspect that enlightenment isn't
only about living a life that transcends the material world.
Seekers are beginning to realize it's time to live their principles
in the everyday world. This, of course, is more along the lines of
the feminine awakened consciousness, something we've been told is
trying to make its appearance in our world. ...
Touching on everything from relationships to work to the body,
Amoda Maa teaches how to live a femininely embodied spirituality...
She writes in an authoritative but supportive style that will
challenge some closely held beliefs, but will also release readers
into making some new choices in how they approach living their
spirituality."
--New Spirit Journal
"With diamond-like clarity, a cup of compassion, and an almost
poetic intensity, Amoda Maa debunks the myth of enlightenment,
addressing many commonly held concerns and questions about the
process of awakening. No topic is off limits in this conversation
as she dismantles the scaffolding of our defenses, our beliefs--the
very mechanism of seeking itself. I highly recommend this
beautifully written and insightful book to anyone at any stage in
their spiritual evolution. You are invited to dive in, face your
personal wounds with 'courage and tender honesty, ' challenge your
assumptions, and root the full flowering of your consciousness in
the very belly of your humanity."
--Kirtana, singer, songwriter, and recording artist of songs
for awakening
