Awakening Together, Relaxing into Happiness with William Cooper, Master of Theology, Licensed Professional Counselor

William Cooper discusses his lived experience over the last 50 years of what awakening is for him and what the process entails.  His time in Bhutan, Thailand, Brazil and years in India with awakened masters was such a wonderful support to his own direct experience.  This conversation is oriented towards simplifying awakening with gentle pointers for all - with extra care for beginners.  Simple guideposts are discussed along with following one's heart to develop his or her own practices and perspectives.  This is a sharing rather than in-depth guidance.  For that, please refer to his past podcasts. They are all here and free. This sharing is what he would have found so helpful starting out.  
These podcasts are meant to supplement your personal path of awakening whatever that might be. They are a compilation of what I have found to be the most helpful over the last 50 years on my path of awakening. I feel these podcasts are most powerful when listened to in sequence from podcast one forward because each is built on the last.  Though they, also, all stand on their own.  Since we are each a bit different, if anything does not resonate, please disregard it and follow your heart. All my podcasts and website are here and free. Enjoy!

Though I am a psychotherapist, and these podcasts are offered to be spiritually helpful, they are not psychotherapy.  If psychotherapy is ever needed, please reach out to a psychotherapist.

This meditation starts immediately with no introduction and is a powerful meditation for deep progressive relaxation. Therefore, please do not drive or do anything else but be in a safe place where you can sit or lie down, be undistracted, close your eyes and completely let go.  
I recorded this podcast for my 97-year mother and I’m sharing it with you as well. 
It is very helpful to her for immediate relaxation, stress reduction and calming. She experiences better sleep, lower blood pressure, and other health effects that can flow from deep relaxation.  The effects have been immediate for her.

This meditation has no introduction and goes straight into progressive deep relaxation.  So please do not drive or do anything but sit or lie down where you can close your eyes and let go safely.

In this beautiful meditation with the Lord's Prayer, you are invited to let go and trust something Higher than your personal self.  This is nondenominational and nonreligious so simply tune in to Who or What you Trust and be willing to begin to let go.  I made this meditation for my 97 year mother and am sharing it with you too.  For many it may facilitate deep release, instant relaxation, lower blood pressure, and other health benefits related to stress release.

Awakening is you without your problems.  The Awakening process is releasing internal troubles while recognizing one’s underlying nature as love, peace, happiness, and well-being.  As  Michael Singer is fond of saying, “Let go of your troubles and you won't be troubled.” Life helps you by triggering difficult emotions as you go through your day. By not becoming involved in them, you allow their energy to arise, unwind, and dissipate. At the same time, letting life events reveal gratitude, peace, joy, and love. Let them permeate your being rather than immediately moving past them. With Awareness, all this can happen with or without meditation in your life. But I feel more powerful with meditation.  Awakening is different from practical problem-solving skills which develop separately.
