12 Steps to Awaken and Self-transformation is a practical guide for personal growth. The 12 steps are a psycho-spiritual development program which promotes awareness, stress reduction, inner peace, personal development and self-realization. The steps are explained, insights are offered for contemplation and tasks are provided. Self-realization means to realise and become aware of oneself. This is also known as individuation. Individuation is the psychological process of becoming a conscious individual. It is the drive for psychological maturity, wholeness and selfhood. Self-realization and self-actualization go hand in hand: the more we realize ourself, the more we can realize our potential and fulfil our destiny.
