Her new book, Embodied Enlightenment: Living Your Awakening In Every Moment Awakening Waking up out of the dream of separation Waking up out of the dream of thinking that we are our thoughts and feelings Awakening not dependant on or a precursor to one's psychological health Surrendering the need to uphold oneself Surrendering the psychological self The need for psychological safety giving rise to egoic tendencies The defense and attack found in righteousness The verticality of being Not having an agenda of the outcome when opening ourselves to our experience and meeting it as it is How to be free from suffering The strength of life's intelligence The ripening that happens within oneself when you've finally had enough of running away from pain No real relief from pain and no final freedom from pain when all you're doing is running away from it Am I willing to meet this exactly as it is? Trying not to try True fulfillment is the emptying of the spiritual shopping basket The paradox of trying not to try Accumulating agendas = committing to a particular spiritual path and expecting that you'll feel worthy and good enough Love is seeking to know itself Silence is ever present in everything     Please Support The Show with a Donation See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
