{"product_id":"9781401929480","title":"Waking From Sleep: Why Awakening Experiences Occur and How to Make Them Permanent","description":"How much of your waking time are you fully awake? On the other hand, how often do you stumble through the day on autopilot, half-asleep and out of contact with yourself, instead of feeling connected and alive? In this astounding book, Steve Taylor suggests that our normal consciousness is really a kind of \"sleep\" from which we sometimes \"wake up\" into a more intense and complete reality. He provides what is perhaps the first-ever clear explanation of higher states of consciousness, or \"awakening experiences.\" This work delves into: the methods we human beings have used throughout history to induce awakening experiences, including meditation, sex, sports, psychedelic drugs, and sleep deprivation; how higher states of consciousness were normal and natural to some of the world's peoples (and still are, in some cases); and how we can make \"wakefulness\" our normal state again. By fully explaining awakening experiences, the author makes them much more accessible, which may lead to a revolution in our psychological development as human beings!","brand":"Hay House, Inc.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47127384064240,"sku":"9781401929480","price":14.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781401929480_p0.jpg?v=1763714589","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781401929480","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
