Reviews of "Teachings from an Awakened Heart" Audio Book

This book touched me very deeply. There were many places, where I really stopped and started to think about my life; do I really want to know the truth… This question hit me hard. And I found myself in a spiral I had been avoiding for a long time. Strangely, different defence strategies started to show up and melt in front of my eyes. It took some time, until I was brave enough to embrace the answer. And as I said “yes”, something passed my whole body – deep knowing, responsibility and connectedness of what has been there all the time and waiting for me to open up my eyes. Shavasti’s voice is guiding safely to the territory, we mostly don’t dare to go. Thank you Shavasti! – Jaana Saar, Estonia

In listening to these teachings I enjoy how Shavasti tells his story and how, through his literary artistry, he weaves teachings, story, and integrations – to inform and heal humanity – Amita, Author of  ‘You Long for Me’

Shavasti cuts to the core of where each person must go to reengage their sacred humanity. He understands true healing and is a visionary catalyst towards intimate union with all of life. Every soul deserves the Teachings from an Awakened Heart – Simran Singh Author of Conversations With the Universe & Your Journey to Enlightenment, Host of 11:11 Talk Radio, Steward of 11:11 Magazine

Shavasti’s eloquent manner calls out to our heart and soul while helping us feel a deep inner peace just by listening. His reflections on the deeper meaning of life, love and our most precious heart gives “you” the lucky listener a new way to perceive deeper aspects of their very own life.Shavasti’s confident voice and beautiful cadence shows us how many years this enlightened seeker has spent on his own inner work and personal self-discovery. His personal generosity and love comes through very strongly as he addresses the human experience in intimate detail. He addresses our place in life as we experience the microcosm within the macrocosm simultaneously. After listening to this wonderful presentation I’m left with the most delicate and intricate ecosystem on Earth is that of the Human Heart.” – Gary Stuart, Author ‘Many Hearts, One Soul’

For anyone who is really interested in a breakthrough in any & all areas of your life, please get this wonderful audio book.  It is going to challenge you to look at what is necessary in order to realise the highest degree of fulfilment in your life’s journey! – Charles Wallert, New York, Award winning music Producer/Composer

There is sustenance in Shavasti’s every word.  His work is meant to be received slowing and completely.  It is for those willing to look beyond the veil of comparison into a far richer terrain where silence and the soul meld together into infinity. As I absorb the truths offered in this book, my soul is quieted and my heart is warmed.  The parts of me that hunger for the absolute truth are satisfied at last. So much gratitude emerges from within for Shavasti speaking what is true.  For what is true harmonizes with my deepest parts; and as I take in Shavasti’s teachings I experience a dance of joy emitting from my heart center – Shanelle Pierce, Olympia, WA, USA

Thankyou Shavasti for helping me to surrender to the wisdom of my own heart.The timeless wisdom that has always been there, but that I had just forgotten. Shavasti’s Teachings from an Awakened Heart will gracefully allow you to really feel what it truly is to surrender to your own own heart and discover the love that is always here, the invaluable teacher who can help you lead your life with freedom, compassion and authenticity – Ollie Lurie – UK, Osteopath

So beautifully articulated Shavasti. I find that you guide me to a point where ‘everything clicks into presence’. You take me to a place… and I experience a profound realisation. Within a moment I can see an emotional and energetic thread running through my life experiences and patterns and this is transforming. Its like I start to see myself for who I really am .Your perspective/perception is one of the most unbiased, free and honest that I have come across. There is no hidden agenda here. Just honesty and truth which is so, so welcome and needed and refreshing and healing…and rare! There is not one person on this planet that would not benefit from listening to this book. Blessings, love and deep thanks – Tracey Coulson, UK

Deep, brilliant, teachings from a man who has walked the path every step of the way, a must listen! – Patricia White Buffalo Founder and director of “Walking the Shaman’s Path Program”

Shavasti’s ‘Teachings from an Awakened Heart’ is a sound investment. As a spiritual teacher, and committed student of life and God, Shavasti provides what one may experiences as something akin to a rich individual session in the form of meditations and guided reflections. Addressing so many levels, Shavasti (aka John L. Payne), is not afraid to use the term “God” and conversely is unafraid of challenging those who linger only in the God realm, critical of and completely detached from all of the teachers available to us as ‘relational beings’. He gently suggests the tragedy of seeing human beings without the inclusion of that which is greater than flesh and bone. In Teachings from an Awakened Heart, Shavasti provides a transparent personal history which includes harrowing experiences including a horrific home invasion with a gun being held to his head; with a generous soul, Shavasti shares the deep soul initiation and the journey that transpired as a result. A friend of life and death, Shavasti’s humble assertion is that he is not a unique or rare ‘Awakened heart’ but that he is in the process of Awakening. Encouraging us to work, live and love with an ‘awakened heart’ Shavasti proposes that this place, perspective, and paradigm, is the place that introduces the grace of surrender, while in a practical sense preventing burn-out for those who work with healing and being in service. Part poetry, part prose, Teachings from an Awakened Heart is engaging and encouraging. Giving everything a place, Shavasti introduces an expanse of soul which would be a benefit for any human being – Francesca Mason Boring Author ‘Connecting to our Ancestral Past’
