The Flagship Book
Waking Up, Not Breaking Down.
The connection they tried to cut is still there. And it is yours.
Twenty thousand words. Eight chapters. Welsh landmark illustrations. The full teaching of Living Awake, in book form, Julian Jenkins.
A description, not a system.
This book is not a programme. It is not a sequence of steps that, if you do them in the right order with the right discipline, deliver you to enlightenment by Christmas. I have read many books that promise something like that, and I have noticed that the people who write them often do not seem any happier than the people who read them. I did not want to write that book.
What you have in your hands is something quieter. A description of seven small actions that, between them, make up the natural movement of a human being waking up to their own life. Not a method. A description. The actions are not new. They were here long before me, and they will be here long after.

Welsh ground in every page.
Each chapter opens with a Welsh landmark, illustrated in the same atmospheric register. Pen y Fan on the cover. Yr Wyddfa, Pentre Ifan, Tintern Abbey, Llyn y Fan Fach, Carreg Cennen, Bryn Celli Ddu, Cadair Idris, and Cardiff Castle inside. The land carries the teaching. So does the book.
