Awakening the Below

This book is a companion for those who are traversing the underbelly of the awakening process: difficult emotions, trauma, strange bodily ailments, spirits, ghosts, ancestors, demons, the imaginal, the soul, energies of the earth, the elements, the dark feminine, etc. This is what the author calls ‘the Below’.

Without any background knowledge to help contextualise these things, surprise openings to “the Below” can be difficult to understand. They are consequently often interpreted as spiritual emergencies or mental health crises rather than the blessings and opportunities that they truly can be. The goal of this book is to validate and normalise such experiences, in order to encourage people to lean into and even embrace the precious dark wisdom that comes from Below.

Awakening the Below will allow readers to recognise the signs of the Below when they appear, supporting them in navigating the territory more confidently and to fully integrate these experiences into their spiritual development in a healthy and meaningful way. 

Existential Kink: Unmask Your Shadow and Embrace Your Power

 

Each of us has a dual nature: we are light (conscious) and dark (unconscious). The dark side of our personality—the “other,” the shadow side—is made up of what we think is our primitive, primal, negative impulses—our “existential kink.” Our existential kink also drives the dark or negative repeating patterns in our life: always choosing the abusive partner or boss, settling for less, thinking that we’re undeserving, not worthy. But it also is the source of our greatest power.

In Existential Kink, Carolyn Elliott, PhD, offers a truth-telling guide for bringing our shadow into the light. Inviting us to make conscious the unconscious, Elliott asks us to own the subconscious pleasure we get from the stuck, painful patterns of our existence.

Existential Kink provides practical advice and meditations so we truly see our shadow side’s “guilty pleasures,” love and accept them, and integrate them into our whole being. By doing so, Elliott shows, we bring to life the raw, hot, glorious power we all have to get what we really want in our lives.

Multidharma:
A New Map of Awakening for Contemporary Spiritual Explorers

 

Multidharma argues that in the modern era, traditional spiritual systems are no longer a good fit for everyone. The book presents an alternative model, suggesting that these traditions can be divided into distinct “threads" (Emptiness, Oneness, Energy, and Psyche), with each representing a different dimension of spiritual growth and development.

Salguero presents a series of practices that activates these threads, and the spiritual experiences associated with them. He also unpicks the worldviews underpinning them, explaining how modern access to information enables people to experience a full awakening that weaves together these many threads.

The book is a clear, accessible, and empowering guide to spiritual awakening that takes advantage of the vast twenty-first century information landscape, constructing a synthesis out of different traditions that works for unique, individual needs.
