The End of Spiritual Seeking
As a long time spiritual seeker, one of the messages of this book that spoke to me was the idea that “striving to be spiritual” was more likely to be an impediment to spiritual development. This came as a great relief and resonated with me as more authentic. The book offers guidance for the spiritual seeker seeking to move beyond the experience of seeking the transcendent and moving to integrating it with the full range of human experience and emotions while avoiding the “spiritual bypassing” that is prevalent in many seekers paths (including my own). I highly recommend Amoda’s teaching for her clarity, insight and guidance. The question and answer format is helpful and her answers ring true. She has the spiritual and psychological bona fides to integrate the two and provide a path to awakening that the world surely needs. I also recommend her previous book "Embodied Enlightenment" as guide to Living your awakening in every moment.
Loving Life
What Amoda Ma offers us in Falling Open In A World Falling Apart is an invitation to a journey of great majesty. The title itself is an introduction to the Truth that rests within; as is the texture of the book cover. She shares the value of Open Awareness. It can be understood in the words. It can be felt behind the words. Her Innermost energy flows throughout the book and can be experienced in the most tender ways. I Am grateful for the many 'self help' teachings that have been shared with me in this life. A while back I lost interest in that as I gained interest in Life; in that which Always IS. There is a Liquid Light that moves through Amoda Ma directly into one's heart and soul. Treat your Self to this jewel; to the experience of this Divine Love. It really is a game changer.
Falling into Truth
This is an important book for the times. Rather than giving more information that can distract the mind, it offers honest contemplations that can open the door to deep insights into one's true nature. It’s time to mature beyond our illusions and fantasies of enlightenment as we meet the tremendous challenges of our world and the human condition. Read it and savor the exquisite (and sometimes poignant) experience of opening and coming home to who you really are.
Should be on everyone's reading list post-election 2020!
This is a rare, clear and essential message, perfectly timed. In the USA, we just came through the most polarized election of our time. As we sit on the other side, wondering how half of the United States can see the world so differently, Amoda offers some perspective and solace. Although not directly political, she explains the fundamental forces which influence how we construct our world-view. Although not religious, she addresses the teachings of Jesus and the Bible in a refreshing non-dogmatic way. Falling Open is in fact the only true solution in a world falling apart. I pray that as many people as possible read this succinct book and consider how to navigate the way forward with humility, grace and an open heart.
Diving in to the deepest
This book containing these teachings point to what is described and pointed to in many ways by many teachers. The path to the deepest and innermost and unspeakable IS so very delicately with great care spoken of through this being who is a walking devotion to that which is beingness, is presence. One of Amoda Maa's unique gifts to my world in the words of this book is to unravel and expose the mind's subtle ways of coopting and imprisoning that which is already free and in that delicate exposure of the innocent way of the mind then reveals what the mind keeps trying to understand and thus imprison, the unspeakable vastness and ocean of being that seems to be what I am most in love with and also most afraid of. May it be read and received in the deepest!
A true gem for living from truth.
I love the way she integrates the mundane and spiritual. Each one of our human experiences is a gateway to the inner dimension of awareness that she calls openness. She teaches through example and questions how to use each experience as an opening to inner compassion and acceptance, nothing is excluded all is welcome. She is not advocating lack of boundaries in human interactions or being without preferences or taking action but including it all as part of the human experience.

Brilliant and Heart Opening
Amoda Maa elegantly expresses the simplicity of a life being lived as the natural openness we are. In her book she points to the deeper truth and how falling open to life can truly transform how we experience ourselves and the world. Anyone who reads the beautifully written pages will deeply be touched and the heart and mind will resonate with the simple, yet profound message. It is an absolute must read for both the seeker and non-seeker alike.
