QR code, New in the Sanctuary for Easy Donations

February 16, 2022

If you’ve been in the sanctuary lately you may be wondering what this image is that you’re seeing in one of the Zoom squares. This is a Quick Response code (aka QR code) which is used to direct users quickly to the Awakening Together donations page. If you’re not familiar with how a QR code works, here’s a quick tutorial from Wiki-how that details how to use QR codes with both iPhones and Androids.

QR codes are black-and-white squares similar to bar codes that store information such as links, phone numbers, images, and so on.

iPhone

1. Open your iPhone’s Camera.^[1] Tap the Camera app icon, which resembles a black camera on a grey background.

2. Point the camera at the QR code. Your phone should focus in on the QR code after a brief moment.^[2]

If your front-facing camera is on, first tap the camera-shaped icon in the bottom-right corner of the screen to flip the camera to the main camera.

3. Make sure the QR code is centered on your iPhone’s screen. All four edges of the QR code should be on your iPhone’s screen.

4. Wait for the code to scan. Once the QR code is centered on your iPhone’s screen, it should scan almost immediately.

5. Open the QR code’s content. Tap the Safari notification that appears at the top of the screen to open the QR code’s webpage or other information.^[3]

Android

1. Open your Android’s

Google Play Store. Tap the Google Play Store app icon, which resembles a multicolored triangle.

2. Tap the search bar. It’s at the top of the screen.

3. Type in qr code reader no ads. This will prompt a drop-down menu with search results.

4. Tap QR Code Reader – No Ads. It should be at the top of the drop-down menu. Doing so opens the app’s page.

5. Tap INSTALL. This button is on the right side of the screen.

6. Tap ACCEPT. It’s in the middle of the pop-up. The QR Code Reader app will begin downloading.

7. Tap OPEN. This button will appear in place of the INSTALL button as soon as the app finishes installing. Tapping it will open QR Code Reader.

8. Point your Android’s camera at the QR code.^[4] It will focus on the code after a moment.

9. Make sure that the QR code is centered in the screen. Your QR code should fit between the four brackets in the middle of your Android’s screen.

10. Wait for the code to scan. Once the code scans, you’ll see an image of the QR code on the screen, along with whatever the QR code’s content is (e.g., a link) listed below the image.

1:00 – 3:00 pm – Self-Inquiry Dyad Practice – Facilitated by Anne Blanchard

The practice is intensive, direct self-inquiry. The format is partner assisted contemplation, commonly referred to as dyads, which means two.

The day is Saturday and the time of the practice is 1 to 3 PM ET. You can join for either the first hour, the second hour, or for both depending on the time available in your schedule.

What do you want? What do you really want? What is the aim of your spiritual practice? What is the purpose? What is your purpose? We ask because we embark weekly to practice in the sanctuary, and have a direct experience of the truth of what we are. The very good news is that you cannot, not be the Truth of what you are. Truth doesn’t go away because we don’t know it, can’t see it, or don’t presently experience it.

If you are interested in exploring your own blocks to the awareness of love’s presence, to the Truth of what you are, you are warmly invited to join us.

No prior experience is necessary. An introduction and overview will be given at the beginning of each hour.

This program is facilitated by Anne Blanchard who welcomes any questions or inquiries. You may email her through Awakening Together at [email protected]. We look forward to embarking on this practice with you.

Early Teachings, From & Curated by Regina Dawn Akers

January 27, 2022

During the Early Years

Recently our Founding Minister, Regina Dawn Akers, has been reviewing recordings of her teachings from the early days in her life as a spiritual teacher and student. These teachings were recorded as “Holy Spirit Guide” audios.

Regina feels portions of these audios stand out as helpful little snippets that can be extremely helpful to the rest of us in discovering our own path to Awakening. So, Regina is personally selecting and editing these snippets of those early recordings and making them available on YouTube. As a bonus, Regina is sharing older photographs of herself that symbolize, in one way or another, the messages of these audio excerpts.

If you would like to listen to these recordings you can find them on the Awakening Together YouTube channel under “Regina Dawn Akers, Early Teachings” as she makes them available. Also, we have listed the recordings currently available below.

COMING SOON: Keep an eye out for the podcast which will mirror the collection on YouTube.
