Stephan Bodian - Infinite Awakening: The Pathless Path to Presence and Love

from 5050 · host Tamaracallaghan

Tam Callaghan sits down with author, meditation teacher and former Zen monk Stephan Bodian to talk about his new book Infinite Awakening, a guide to non-dual wisdom for people walking what he calls the pathless path, those who have found their way to awakening outside of monasteries, ashrams, or formal traditions. Stephen has spent decades as a psychotherapist and teacher at his School of Awakening, and this conversation draws on all of it. They cover why spiritual bypassing is so common and so hard to spot, the difference between awakening light and the real work, and what it actually means to rest and allow rather than push and achieve. Tam shares how Stephen's welcoming emotions meditation and the four Rs (remember, recognise, return, rest) have already changed her daily experience, and Stephen walks through his 'is anything missing?' inquiry live in the conversation. One of the most grounded and genuinely useful conversations on meditation and awareness you'll find anywhere. In this episode: How Infinite Awakening came to be and who it's for The pathless path and why it's valid without a monastery behind it What spiritual bypassing actually looks like in practice Why awakened people can still be angry, and what that really means The four Rs and how to use them throughout the day The 'is anything missing?' meditation, explained and experienced How to share this kind of practice without coming across as an evangelist What the School of Awakening offers and how it works   Infinite Awakening by Stephen Bodian:-https://infinite-awakening.org/ His series on Waking Up - https://dynamic.wakingup.com/pack/PDC04C?source=content%20share&share_id=1DEF4C54&code=SCF32EE09   His discussions with  Sam - https://dynamic.wakingup.com/pack/PKB5F28?source=content%20share&share_id=9D7E18CC&code=SCF32EE09   His interview with Sam Harris - This track called The Direct Path got me thinking.
