Before talking deeply about and experiencing awakening let's look at how we experience our inner selves.  Let's look at who we are and what we are not.  So we can begin to clear out the clutter to better see and appreciate our clear Being. Awakening!

Our Being is always intensely happy.  But we don't always feel powerfully happy and Calm.  Why? And can meditation help dissolve what is blocking us and feeling so bad?  How?  Most are meditating mistakenly thinking it should peaceful and calm and it is not. So we no longer continue.  Let's correct some basic misinformation before we actually begin our awakening meditation in the next podcast.  Let's start right...ev...

Practicing the Awakening meditation together again.  This time a little longer.  Continued instruction....just to make sure we are confident in our meditation.  We, also, talked some about not leaving our center which is the radiance that we are.  From awareness we simply let everything be and experience it as it is.  Acceptance really.  As we stay in Awareness everything else burns away until all there is is radiant awareness and ...

Listen to your self and have your own direct experience...question everyone and thing.  Believe only if you don't really know.  In this podcast we are going to begin to look more deeply at our Being and what motivates our thoughts.  Hurt, fear, anger which are made of tension.  We are stopping long enough to look for ourselves.  We are suffering....how are we making our own suffering?  What do we do.  To see is to be free.  Th...

Following up on the last Podcast.  Our psychological thoughts are endlessly running because they are fueled by the hurt, fear, and anger underlying them.  The hurt fear and anger is launched because we have betrayed ourselves.  We have become separated from our heart and that shows up as tension and blocks.  We have accepted a notion or our selves that is not true....we have actually been hypnotized to believe other than what we ar...

Direct experience dissolves beliefs yes.  But often we resort to counteractive positivity or counteractive actions to distract, relax, relieve, suppress, or repress  symptoms.  We overlay something on the problem rather than dissolve the problem to start with.  Meditation and spiritual practices can be this way.

We explore the basic principle behind successful therapies and, more importantly, awakening meditation as found in Coherence Therapy.  We can't hold two opposing viewpoints at the same rime. The less true will dissolve away.  When we stay as who we are, Being, we can let everything else burn away leaving just Us.  That's awakening and Happiness.  Pure Being is pure Happiness and Love.

We connect to who we are.  How is Awareness (Being) experienced in clarity?  Like a rainbow.  One end stretches beyond creation in what might be called empty/fullness.  As you come into creation there is an explosion of Light then sound, then bliss, joy, love, happiness and peace.  This is what is aware of everything else in meditation.  Thoughts and emotions are just structures we have created. They don't think or feel.  Once...

The unhealthy personality is not us but, rather, the thoughts and emotions that we have created to get what we mistakenly think we do not have.  Because we are separated from our Being we no longer fully experience true Love, Peace, and Happiness. Though we get glimpses from time to time.  In order to try to regain Love, Peace, and Happiness we form a getting machine called personality made of tools called thoughts and emotions.  T...

We hold so much tension and stress in our body.  It is one of the places we store repressed material, blocks, distress, etc.  Often meditation and other spiritual exercises can't reach this material stored in the body nearly as well as physical yoga can.  I have found that meditation followed by Yogananda's 39 Energization Exercises is an extremely  powerful combination on the path of awakening.  You can go to YouTube and...

Let's pause for a moment and pull together what we have covered thus far.  So many meditate for years without much progress.  Usually this is because they do not have a clear vision of what they are doing and how to do it.  Clear seeing is very important.  Ramana used to say that before you figure "your" life out, know who "You" are.  Stopping to let everything settle out into clarity is called mediation.  ...
