You have 45 minutes together, perhaps once a week. An important question opens. Then life continues for six days. The reaction returns, and what you talked about can become hard to find again.
I AWAKE gives those days a structure. You follow a question through story, bodily observation and practice. When you meet again, you can bring back a real moment: what happened, what you felt, how you interpreted it and what you want to understand now. It gives you and your therapist something concrete to explore together.
It is easy to begin again at each new appointment: tell the story of the week, return to the same question, then run out of time. With I AWAKE, you can choose a direction before the session ends. Between meetings, you have a book journey, a question or a practice that belongs to the work you are doing together.
Next time, you begin with what you actually noticed. Perhaps your chest tightened when you wanted to say no. Perhaps an unanswered message became certainty that someone was angry. Across several weeks, a recurring pattern can come into view. Your therapist helps you understand it in context and choose what to explore next.
You can understand something in the therapy room and still react differently at home. I AWAKE helps you notice the moment itself: how your breathing changes, which thought arrives and what you believe the other person means.
Interoception gives language to signals from within the body. Attachment helps you explore why closeness or distance carries so much weight. When you bring a specific moment into therapy, you can follow those threads together, week after week. Read about interoception and attachment.
A story or inner image may open something that has not yet found words. I AWAKE also has a Jungian root: images and symbols are explored through your own associations. What did the door, room or path stir in you? When you bring an image into the conversation, it can become another way into the question you are following. Read about working with inner images.
Research on work between sessions highlights the importance of clear purpose, a shared plan and follow-up. Here that idea takes a human form: you choose what to explore together, notice what happens in daily life, then return to the experience in your next conversation. Read about practice between sessions.
You do not need to know which book or practice is right. Bring the question that keeps returning and say to your therapist: “I would like our work to have a clearer continuation between sessions. Could we try I AWAKE with this question and follow up on what I notice next week?”
Your therapist can decide with you whether the material fits your work and how to use it. Practice, the shared digital space, is free for both of you.
After your session, you can continue with one of I AWAKE’s seven days. You listen, read and answer questions that return throughout the journey. That can make it easier to notice the same reaction in a new situation, or to see what changes when you pause.
When you come back, you do not need to remember the whole week. Bring one sentence, a bodily observation or a moment that stayed with you. The next conversation can begin there.
Perhaps you said yes when you needed rest. On the first day, you notice how it usually begins. A few days later, you see what you feared might happen if you said no. In therapy, you can explore the connection between the body’s response, the relationship and the choice you want to be able to make. The book gives continuity; the conversation gives your experience context.
You choose a question together, such as “What happens in me when I need to set a boundary?” During the week, you follow it through seven chapters, audio practice, four recurring reflection questions and a body map. You can see what repeats, what shifts and what you want to understand more deeply.
At your next 45-minute session, you begin with what you actually experienced. Then you can choose the next question or stay with the same pattern. The work gains a direction from one week to the next.
Choose a question with your therapist. Agree on what you want to notice during the week and which material will help you follow it.
Bring back a real moment: what happened, how did your body respond and what did you think it meant? Your therapist helps you explore the connections and choose what to follow next.
One concrete event is enough to give the next conversation a clear beginning.
You know your own experience. Your therapist brings their method, experience and view of the work you are doing together. I AWAKE gives you a shared thread between sessions: stories you may recognise yourself in, questions to return to and space to see what actually happened.
You can suggest the material without having to choose for both of you. Show what stirred something in you. Together, you decide how it might contribute to the direction of therapy.
Each book has seven chapters with a direction of its own. Each day brings opening audio guidance, authored text, four recurring reflection questions, a body map and a closing audio practice. Because the questions return, you and your therapist can see what changes over time.
There is also a way back. The Return practice helps you re-enter the journey when you lose the rhythm. After day seven comes The Circle, an imaginal journey in which an inner place or image meets what you have discovered. It gives you material for the next conversation and a way to keep exploring the question in daily life.
The nine books move through three arcs: Possibility explores old protections and needs; Permission renews contact with body, mind and heart; Capacity asks how what has come alive can find a place in daily life. Choose the question that speaks to you now:
Possibility
1. That’s Not Me — Who did I become in order to belong?
2. Living on Love Crumbs — What do I long for when love almost feels like enough?
3. They Said Time Would… — How does an old pattern continue in the present?
Permission
4. I Want to Be Touched — What does my body do when closeness comes near?
5. Seduce My Mind — When does a thought become an entire reality for me?
6. Unleash My Heart — What happens to feelings I rarely show?
Capacity
7. All of Me — How can body, thought and feeling have room together?
8. Pleasure Is My Medicine — When does pleasure also nourish me?
9. I Want It All — How do I make room for longing and creativity in my life?
Bring the title or question that matters to you to your therapist. Together, you can choose a book that gives the week a clear direction and follow up on what you notice next time.
“She didn’t answer my message. I knew she was angry.” During the week, you return to that moment. There was no reply. The worry was felt in your body. The thought about her anger followed. In your next session, you can explore how quickly those three parts became one story.
A book about relationships can help you recognise why the silence carried such force. The cards in Reality Revealed then make room between the event, your reaction and your interpretation. That gives you a concrete question to bring to therapy: What did I know, what did I feel and what did I assume? Read more about attachment in couples’ relationships at Sensual Institute.
“I know I’m allowed to say no. It still feels as though I’m letting someone down.” That insight may feel clear during 45 minutes together, then disappear in the next difficult moment. The book lets you follow the pattern through the week. The deck can help you pause as the reaction arrives and see which interpretations take shape.
When you meet again, your therapist can help you understand what happened in that moment. An insight becomes something you can follow, test and deepen together.
A boundary may also be about belonging, self-image and worry. In Reality Revealed, the cards belong together. One card opens one side of the experience; another shows what the first interpretation missed. Together they form a system for exploring a lived moment.
You can choose a card reading to bring into therapy. The next conversation can then begin in the particular moment where something important happened, with more than one way to understand it.
The nine Circle cards help you see how you approach what is happening. What needs a pause? What wants to move forward?
The 54 Realm cards move through House, Sky, Garden, Forest, Ocean and Space. They shift perspective so you can see where a question takes shape.
The 15 Being cards embody roles and functions. What is a role trying to protect? What does it make possible? Together with Circle and Realm, it becomes part of a larger reading.
Choose a question before the session ends. During the week, follow it through story, bodily observation and reflection. Next time, bring back a specific event and what you noticed. You can use your time together to explore a lived moment and follow how the question develops across several sessions.
Show them the page for practitioners and say, “I would like to follow our question between sessions too. Could we try part of I AWAKE during the week and see what I bring back?” Your therapist can then decide with you what fits your work.
I AWAKE Practice is free for both of you. There is no platform fee for your accounts. Books, material packages and your therapist’s own services may have separate prices; discuss those before choosing anything.
No. One question, passage or audio practice can be a beginning. A seven-day book gives you a clearer sequence. The deck can help you see more sides of a moment. Practice can gather what you choose between sessions.
Each day has its own chapter with audio guidance, story, four recurring reflection questions, a body map and a closing audio practice. You follow a question through the week and can see what returns or shifts. Return helps you re-enter if the rhythm breaks; after day seven comes the imaginal journey The Circle.
The nine titles explore different questions within Possibility, Permission and Capacity. Begin with what actually recurs in your life: belonging, longing for more, boundaries, closeness, thoughts, feelings or creativity. Show your therapist the title that stirs something in you and choose together how it might be used.
A reaction can arrive faster than you can examine its meaning. The cards ask what happened, what you felt, what meaning you gave it and what other perspectives may be possible. The book can help you recognise a pattern over time; the cards can open a pause in a lived moment. Bring what you discover into therapy.
Circle, Realm and Being belong together. One card shows how you approach a question, another where it takes shape, and a third which role comes forward. The connections among the cards help you see beyond your first interpretation. That gives you a richer, more precise starting point for the conversation.
You may notice your chest tightening before you have words for it. Interoception gives language to signals from within the body. I AWAKE makes them part of what you bring to therapy: what did you feel, in what situation, and which thought followed? Read about interoception.
Closeness and distance can stir familiar expectations. If someone does not reply, you can follow both what actually happened and what the silence came to mean. Your therapist can help you explore the pattern in your relationship and its context. Read about attachment.
An image may carry a question that has not yet found clear words. The imaginal work has Jungian roots among others and begins with your own associations. A symbol is an opening for exploration, not a ready-made answer. Read When the Image Answers Back.
Research on bodily awareness, emotional language, metacognition and work between sessions has helped shape questions in I AWAKE. The practical sequence is clear: choose a purpose together, follow something in daily life and return to the experience in the next conversation. Explore the research and sources.
You might say, “I would like to see a clearer thread from one session to the next. Could we choose one question to follow between meetings and begin next time with what I noticed?” I AWAKE can offer material and a structure for that agreement.
Bring back one specific moment. What happened? What did you notice in your body? What did you think it meant? What did you do? A book passage, a card or a chosen note can help you remember. Your therapist can help you place the experience in a wider context.
No. In Practice, you can write privately and choose a saved version to share. Agree with your therapist on what you want to follow up. Read about ethics and boundaries.
Yes, if it fits your work. Show your therapist a question or passage that matters to you and ask how it relates to what you already do. I AWAKE offers a narrative sequence and several ways to notice the same situation over time.
Choose an amount you can follow up together. A book journey has one chapter per day, but you can also begin with a passage, question or card. What matters for progression is knowing what you are exploring and returning to it together.
Tell them which question I AWAKE helped you notice. They may suggest different material, another pace or another way to follow it. Your observation can still move the shared work forward.
Yes. Practice can give your chosen material and reflection a place between sessions. Your therapist can choose a sequence that fits your purpose, and you decide what to share. The platform is free for both of you.
Choose a question that keeps returning in your life. Bring this page to your therapist and suggest following the question for a week. Next time, you can begin with what you actually noticed.
Practice gathers the text, audio practice or question you choose for the week. You know what you are following and where to return when something happens in daily life.
You can write while the experience is close and bring a chosen part to your next session. Your therapist has a concrete place to begin the follow-up. Practice is free for both of you.
A thought may need time before you want to speak about it. In Practice, you can write privately and choose a saved version to share. It gives you a way to capture what happened between sessions while deciding what you want to bring into the conversation.
Agree with your therapist on what you will follow up and when. Read the Swedish Institute of Inner Technology’s principles on ethics and boundaries.
You and your therapist can have a private space with material that follows your question. If you take part in a group, you can use shared material and make clear agreements about what participants choose to share.
Practice is free for you and your therapist. There is no platform fee for your accounts. That lets you try a shared structure between sessions.
Your therapist’s own sessions and services may have their usual price. If they take payment through their own Stripe account, I AWAKE takes zero commission from their fee; Stripe’s own fees apply. Books and material packages may be priced separately.
End your session with a question you want to follow. Choose a book, a practice or a moment to notice before you meet again.
Read, listen or write when the question appears. The material helps you recognise the pattern while life is happening, between your 45-minute sessions.
Bring back what you noticed. Together, you can see what repeated, what shifted and which question now needs more room. From there, you choose the next step.
I AWAKE describes more than 30 human capacities. They can help you and your therapist name what you want to develop and notice how it appears between sessions.
What do attachment, interoception or an inner image mean here? The glossary explains these ideas in human language. Choose a word that helps you describe what happened and bring it into therapy.
The Reading Room holds texts about feelings, relationships and inner experience. Choose one that deepens your question and use it as a starting point when you next meet.
Bring this page to your therapist and say: “We meet for 45 minutes a week, and I would like to be able to follow our work between sessions too. Could we choose one question, use I AWAKE during the week and talk about what I noticed next time?”
You do not need a finished plan. Your question and your therapist’s judgement are a good beginning. Here is the page that explains I AWAKE to practitioners.
