Awakening with Ease : A Simple Direct Path for Wise Women Leaders, Mindful Entrepreneurs, Immigrants, Minorities and Seekers

This book is a part memoir, part self-help manual for modern day mindful seekers, scientists and contemplatives who left religion of their upbringing, but have a deep longing to know about purpose and meaning of human life and journey, nature of reality, knowledge of mind and self for love of ultimate wisdom and universal truth.

The author wondered at age ten whether Einstein or Buddha would be a better role model for a happy and fulfilled education, life and work. Twenty-two years later she quit her stressful job and career path as a city planner to find her own path to awakening, drawing inspiration from the Buddha's teaching. Barua offers a new vision for a love-based mindful paradigm that embraces the power of the wise intuitive heart and the wisdom of the feminine.

This paradigm calls for a simpler path of awakening that sees reality clearly and moves away from false identities and narratives of power, victimhood, ego, sexism, racism, and sectarianism. Barua encourages people to break free from conditioned habits of fear, greed, hatred, ignorance and war. and instead live deliberately with the intention of awakening for the happiness of all beings and peace on Earth. Be the change we would love to see, be part of a transformative solution and a beacon for the conscious evolution of self, society, economy and democracy via locally inspired AWE Circles
