Heart Explorations: Embracing the Whole Show ~01/30/24

During our time together, we will explore what it takes to live from an open, undefended heart.  Naturally, any true exploration of living from the heart necessarily entails taking a deep and sustained look at what prevents us from keeping our hearts open.  Grounded in the knowledge that the essence of us, our true nature, is the very lovingness within us all, we will explore how to recognize and release egoic energies by cultivating open-hearted awareness practices which support us in directly experiencing our true Self.  By leaning into willingness, steeped in self-honesty, and with a consistent dash of courage, we endeavor to open to whatever life brings, as it brings it, that is, on life’s terms.  In so doing, we trust that everything – absolutely everything – is here for us to use for healing, for purification, and for learning to live from the heart.  We look forward to supporting each other in our individual explorations of how we truly embrace the entirety of this show we call life.

To deepen further into the teachings from Heart Exploration here’s a link to the Being Aware of Awareness meditation podcast.  In these meditations, the reading from Heart Explorations is contemplated.

Enlightened Leadership, Tao Te Ching ~ Chapter 27 & 28 “Grace”, 01-28-24

Awakening Together’s Vice President-Minister, Rev. Rhoda Makled, and Rev. David Hemphill share from the Tao as they contemplate its principles in order to fully embody them.

The Tao Te Ching (The Way), written by Lao-Tzu (Old Teacher), is a guide to enlightened leadership. While most people believe effective leadership lies in knowledge and power, the Tao teaches it lies in emptiness, stillness, and presence.

The pair are using three books including interpretations by Derek Lin, Wayne Wang, and Stephen Mitchell. And now they are excited to add Regina’s translation to their contemplations of the Tao and you are invited to join them each Sunday.

Tao Te Ching Video Series with Regina Dawn Akers ~ Chapter 10, Part 3

In 2023, Awakening Together’s founder, Regina Dawn Akers, translated the Tao Te Ching from ancient Chinese into modern English. In this video series, Regina shares:

New Program: “A Lot to Say About Nothing” with Rev. Billy Sintiris Debuts Feb. 7th at 8pm ET

Join us for the brand new program, “A Lot to Say About Nothing” with Rev. Billy Sintiris debuting Wednesday, February 7th, 2024, from 8-8:30 pm ET/6-6:30 pm MT. This program will be on the 1st & 3rd Wednesday of the month.

In this program, Rev. Billy will expand on Awakening Together’s Core Value Number One by utilizing inspirational writings by various authors, including awakened masters, poets, and personal guests. Words alone, being subject to duality cannot transform in and by themselves but when paired with seeing and looking within, we can go beyond their limits. “A Lot to Say About Nothing” is about surrendering self (personal identity) where words, within their best intentions can create space for a split mind, but can only point to the Truth of the Whole Mind. He will look deeper into the many words used to take us home to the One.

01-28-24 Weekly Gathering, “The Power of Silence” Rev. George Maddox

Title: “The Power of Silence”

Description: Regina dedicated a year to practicing silence every day as much as she could while still living her life. During the day she focused on the contemplation of The Seven Steps of Awakening while Jasmine was in school. I am feeling the pull myself to step into this practice, and yet, I am encountering resistance to actually putting this into practice. Let’s explore together the benefits and stumbling blocks to actually doing it!

Reading: Melissa Sternhill read from an article written by Joan Tollifson on direct experiencing.
