Join us Sunday, June 5, 2022, at 1:30-2:30 pm ET/11:30 am-12:30 pm MT for Reflections from 500 Days with NTI. Anne Blanchard will be facilitating this hour-long discussion.
Our founder and the scribe of NTI, Regina Dawn Akers, developed this free self-study spiritual curriculum for people who are serious about spiritual awakening and who have very busy lives. The first set of participants has just completed the program.
Awakening Together is providing this opportunity for participants to share how this self-study program has deepened their understanding and practice. Participants will share highlights, insights, and discoveries from their 500 day journey with Regina and NTI.
All are warmly welcome to come and listen to this discussion and consider beginning this self-study program as your very own next step with God.
Please note that there will no longer be daily posts by Regina Dawn Akers for this program. New participants may begin this program on a Sunday of their choosing and access the daily lessons on the main menu bar of our website. If you would like more information on the 500 Days with NTI Self-Study Course, please follow this link: 500 Days with NTI.
Following the recent Awakening Together online weekend retreat with Dorothy Hunt, the participants shared how exploring the intimate gateways to the Infinite in everyday life through meditation, experiential exercises, talks, poetry, and discussion that were shared at the retreat helped them to consciously express their realizations in their everyday living.
In this program, we watched and discussed a selected TED talk. TED talks follow a unique format. Speakers at TED events have a maximum of 18 minutes to share their messages, which are delivered in highly polished, succinct speeches. TED talks are delivered by people from all walks of life on a multitude of subjects. A great many of these talks are about the insights gained by ordinary people–insights gained through extraordinary experiences or based on their contemplation of the ordinary events of their lives. Either way, their insights are genuine—not based upon theory or dogma, but through experience.

The title of this Ted talk is “Unwavering Focus” by Dandapani.
We become good at what we practice and most of us are experts at practicing distraction. We live in a society that trains us to multi-task and jump from one thing to another in an uncontrolled way. The great panacea for a world plagued by distraction is learning and practicing the art of concentration. Living as a Hindu monk for 10 years Dandapani was trained in understanding the mind. There he learned and practiced the fine art of bringing concentration into everyday life.
In this talk, Dandapani will share spiritual tools to learn to create unwavering focus in our lives and the boundless benefits that result from it. Dandapani is a Hindu priest, speaker on self-development, and entrepreneur.
This group was facilitated by Rev. Jacquelyn Eckert.

Do you find yourself having questions about some of the teachings from Regina Dawn Akers? Have you ever wondered what Regina’s Inner Wisdom meant to Regina?
For many years, Regina has been a spiritual teacher for so many. As such, she has taught on many topics through her own contemplations and spiritual journey. 2022 is Regina’s final year as a full-time employee with Awakening Together. In this final year, Regina has been inspired to clarify her teachings, as they come to her, on her path.
Each week, Regina picks a topic and points us directly to the intention of the teaching around that topic. In addition, when time permits, Regina takes questions on the topic of the teaching in a Satsang type of format.
These teachings are available on this website as well as on our podcast channel, Clarifying the Teachings with Regina Dawn Akers.
Rev. Kelly Barber facilitated this month’s movie discussion.
Denzel Washington stars as William “Whip” Whitaker Sr., an alcoholic airline pilot who miraculously crash-lands his plane after a mechanical failure, saving nearly everyone on board. Immediately following the crash, he is hailed a hero but an investigation soon leads to questions that put the captain in a different light. The film is loosely inspired by the plane crash of Alaska Airlines Flight 261.
This movie illustrates how hard we work at trying to avoid the experience that may be best for our spiritual growth.
Flight is available on Itunes, YouTube, Amazon, and Vudu.
