Tip for Gentle Healing Year 2 – Day 344 – Looking at the False “I” Thought

February 7, 2022

Thoughts of Awakening # 344

The individual self is strong
when the individual self has been given
attention.

I take this attention away
and place it on the Heart,
yet the individual self remains loud
because I have given it attention.

I can rest now
and wait
while the attention I have given
dies away.

When all that I have given
has run its course,
the individual self
will not seem strong.

I wait in patient knowing,
knowing who I am.

Amen.

~A prayer of awakening

Tip for Gentle Healing Year 2 – Day 343 – The Circus & The Meadow

February 6, 2022

Thoughts of Awakening # 343

Today let me have strict abidance
in the Heart, Within,
listening and following
and not thinking.

I ask for strict abidance
because I know and do not deny
the ego’s ability to distract attention
to the world of form,
away from the Heart
and inner awareness.

I choose to remain firm
in remembrance of what I want.
I ask for strict abidance,
that I may remember
I do not want to be distracted
away from inner attention
on Self.

Amen

Clarifying the Teachings 6 ~ The Third Principle of God

February 6, 2022

In the Sanctuary Sunday Evenings
at 7 pm ET (5 pm MT)

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 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.
