The Complete Book of Awakening

by Helen Amery & Sara Priestley

The experiential guide to making awakening real

We are embarking on a journey together to explore awakening: the foundations of stable, secure, sustainable wellbeing in life. Happiness, in other words.

This book is for you whatever your experience of awakening – whether you are totally new, mildly curious, frustrated that the glimpses you’ve seen are fleeting, or you want to settle further into an established understanding. There’s always something new to see, or a new articulation of what’s already been seen.

TCBOA is available via Amazon worldwide, using this formula: “https:.//www.amazon.” [country domain] “/dp/product/B0BKSCZR3Q” It is also available on Audible.

Helen Amery

Driven by a deep curiosity to uncover root causes, Helen founded Wild Fig Solutions, reflecting her passion for transformative change. After years navigating corporate structures, she sought deeper solutions beyond surface-level fixes. Her journey led her to explore spiritual philosophies and co-author "The Complete Book of Awakening." She has since found profound change through the Mace Energy Method, which addresses negative identities. Now, she focuses on empowering others to unlock their potential, facilitating personal growth with directness and honesty. She helps people move beyond limiting patterns, fostering genuine self-worth and authentic living.

Sara Priestley

Sara says: “These days I hang out with my little cat colony, drink a lot of coffee, help clients solve life problems, support people who have been hurt by cult-like groups, guide writers through publishing their own books, learn Tagalog, teach nonduality, work with the Association for Spiritual Integrity, and play with how this expanded understanding of reality shows up in all of life and beyond.
It is simple. But simple doesn’t always come easy when we have a lifetime of conditioning on top. I’m here to help you uncover that simplicity and reconnect with all of who you are.”

Author's Note

When we started writing at the beginning of 2022, the working title was ‘The Little Book of Awakening’. But it turned out to not be so little. For which we make no apology – the completeness of the book is a vital contribution to the journey we are embarking on together. We’re exploring the foundations of stable, secure happiness, and we didn’t want to leave anything out.

Awakening, put most simply, is the recognition of infinite, eternal awareness as our true self. In practice, it often isn’t that simple. There is a process of clearing the muck off the lens of perception. Which is why we have written this book. We’re here as friendly and experienced guides in your exploration, to remind you of what you are looking for, why, and how you might find it.

We’re here as friendly and experienced guides in your exploration, to remind you of what you are looking for, why, and how you might find it. We don’t expect you to simply believe what we suggest – we’re demonstrating how to check it out for yourself, in your own experience.

Our aim in our writing has been to bring a modern, fresh, experiential approach to a classic tradition. We’ve stripped away religious elements and insider language. And we’ve done this to get to the core of what you’ll find in pretty much every religion, philosophy, or personal development methodology.

Much love,

What readers are saying...

"This book feels so different to the others I've read before - it swept me straight into real explorations where I got to grips with the important questions for myself. There's narrative and discussion of course too - all clearly written in a way that feels accessible and understandable."

"This is the best book I have ever read on awakening. Helen and Sara are brilliant guides, happy to share themselves but also get out of the way. I will be buying this book for everyone I know who studies mindfulness, breathwork or other practical forms of liberation."

"My big takeaway - I have one simple question that brings me back to me, even if just for a fraction of a moment and in that moment I have a sense of me, grounded and centred in reality and a chance to respond as my integrated self, in integrity. And that's a great start."
