Falling Open in a World Falling Apart The Essential Teaching of Amoda Maa

This book offers the “jewel” of Amoda Maa's teachings—how to be fully awake and fully human, open in a way that's the key to freedom and to what's most needed in our troubled times. Unlike having no boundaries, this openness transforms reactivity, ends separation, leads us to our true authority, and guides us with the intelligence of love.

Amoda Maa is a spiritual teacher, sharing a fresh approach to the age-old search for spiritual freedom. Her essential teaching features a timeless truth that is highly relevant to this moment—for contemporary seekers willing to go to the raw edge where spirituality meets humanity.

After years of spiritual seeking, meditation, and immersion in psychospiritual practices, an experience of the dark night of the soul led Amoda to a profound inner awakening. Then, after a long period of integration, she began speaking from silence in small gatherings.

She continues to offer meetings and retreats (most currently online), and is a frequent speaker at conferences and events—attracting spiritual seekers and people looking for peace and fulfillment in an increasingly chaotic world. Her teachings do not belong to any tradition or lineage and are accessible to all. She brings to them a deep understanding of the human journey, born out of her own direct experience.

Amoda Maa is the author of Radical Awakening (formerly How to Find God in Everything) and Change Your Life, Change Your World, both of which arose out of a mystical vision around the time of her awakening. In this vision, she was shown the key to humanity’s suffering and the potential for the birth of a new consciousness and world. She also is the author of Embodied Enlightenment, based on her vision for humanity and conversations on the cutting edge of spiritual inquiry in her meetings with people from all around the world.

Amoda Maa lives with her beloved Kavi in New Mexico, USA, and inspires a growing following worldwide.
