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

• 158 Flow and Let Go

  Awakening is about flow.  Flow of love, peace, happiness, ease, relaxation, joy, etc.  Awakening is about being who you truly are.  Tension is about blocking your self from who you are.  Cut off from your Flow of Happiness and Peace you experience Anger, Hurt, unfulfillment, Fear, Anxiety, etc.  Flow responds and dances with life.  Contraction and tension react against life because it all hurts.  In this simple practice we say yes to any love, peace, happiness, ease, relaxation, joy, etc. we feel inside so it can grow.....and we look at how to let everything else go.  In your inner garden you water what you would like to grow....and you let the rest go. Enjoying the flow of your Beautiful Life!These podcasts are here to support your personal path of awakening whatever that might be.

  In this Q & A we enjoyed a great discussion about the direct experience of Light streaming from our body, the Happiness & Power flowing through us, the creative and destructive power of stories, how to not be attached to stories, how to withdraw our senses, how to navigate negative energy coming from others, do we lose ourselves when we dissolve into Light?, giving burdens to our higher power, is it good to listen to the news in these dark times?, anxiety attachment, the direct experience of the world strobing in and out of existence, awakening, etc.This recording of a live Q & A has been edited for clarity, length, and helpfulness.These podcasts are here to support your personal path of awakening whatever that might be.

• 156 Loving Your Self - Even If You Don't Feel You Do

  This is a very personal story about when I felt so alone.  Depressed and anxious I felt so unloved.  Abandoned by the universe and all in it.  It was around 1978, and I had just escaped from a Christian cult.  I was enrolled in a 4-year Master of Theology program looking for answers.  I was, also, taking refuge.  My life was upside down.  Perhaps you have felt despair, anxiety and depression.  Maybe you feel despair now.  If so, I offer you what I found then.  As I sat still, suddenly, in my despair, I saw that I felt so intensely bad because I cared about myself.  If I didn't care I would not feel so bad.  Yes, feeling bad is not a good way to love oneself.  It was maladaptive but I did love myself.  I wanted better for my life.  That is why I felt so bad about the way it was.  My direct experience that I was loved became a foot hold out of the dark pit.  I baby stepped my way back into health.  Perhaps my plight and what I did can be helpful to you.  Maybe the preceding podcasts as well.  That is why I made them.  If you are really feeling bad, please consider seeing a psychotherapist or minimally reaching out to friends or those that can help.These podcasts are here to support your personal path of awakening whatever that might be.

• 155 World And Inner Peace, Channeling, Procrastination - Q & A

  In this Q & A we noted that 11/21 is United Nations World Peace Day celebrated all over the world. When we are at peace within we see and experience peace all around us.  Gandi wrote that "If we could change ourselves, the tendencies in the world would also change." Peace within flows into the world. How did Jesus and Buddha feel? One listener asked about her procrastination, another about my experience after my guru said I should go out on my own.  We talked about channeling Angels and other High Beings.  Also about my core feeling that keeping awakening as one's center focus brings clarity.  And in clarity all else that is good can come quite effortlessly as side effects.These podcasts are here to support your personal path of awakening whatever that might be.

• 154 Enjoying Yes

  The practice of Awakening is that is saying Yes to your Self and letting everything else go.  When you experience the qualities of your Being, i.e., Love, Peace, Joy, Fulfillment, Happiness, etc. for any reason during your day, say Yes and let Your energy flow.  When anything other than these qualities of your Being come up, let them go.  Let them expend their energy, unwind, start to release, look around and notice all is well now, soak up this direct experience of safety and wellness, melt, and then affirm your truth in the moment....what you are truly feeling.  "I am Happiness, or I am Peace, or I am Joy, etc."  This "Yes" practice supports Clearly flowing with life rather than reacting against triggered emotions, thoughts and perceptions. Enjoy the flow of Yes!These podcasts are here to support your personal path of awakening whatever that might be.
