BOUNDLESS AWARENESS

¦ Rodriguez breaks down complex theological teachings into an
approach that's accessible to a broad audience of readers and
spiritual seekers, regardless of religious background. His gentle
techniques yield immediate somatic results.
¦ As a non-dual coach, Rodriguez helps relieve clients of suffering by
acknowledging their painful life experiences while pointing them
toward the realization that they're innately perfect, just as they are.

Suffering is part of the human experience. But there is something greater, something that we all share, indeed something that we all are, that can alleviate that pain: it is the formless presence—the loving, boundless awareness—at the heart of all experience.

Boundless Awareness seeks to relieve suffering by drawing attention to the beautiful, encompassing, cohesive nature of awareness itself, as found in our direct experience. Using practical, contemplative exercises and brief meditations, the author guides readers along a broad path of spiritual awakening, deconstructing their delusions of self and separation and integrating a concept of existence that is free from the suffering of individual selfhood, but which acknowledges the attachments, traumatic experiences, and emotional pain of being human.

With this book, readers will come to realize their innate perfection as the uncreated light of boundless awareness, and soften into the open, spacious, and unconditionally loving essence of existence. They'll gain a deeper understanding of pain and attachments, and learn to meet these experiences with a new resilience.
Most importantly, they'll find guidance on how to embody and express this awakening as love, joy, service, and creativity in daily life.
