This Sunday in the Sanctuary~ January 2, 2022

January 1, 2022

Join us at 10:15 am ET/ 8:15 am MT for Our Weekly Sunday Gathering with Rev. Regina Dawn Akers

Title: “The Power of Faith”

Description: Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj said that either everything is a miracle or nothing is a miracle. He also said he preferred to think that nothing is a miracle. That might be because he preferred to see the unfolding of manifestation as the natural outcome of our divine nature. Natural, instead of miraculous. This Sunday, Rev. Regina Dawn Akers explores how the power of faith is always at work in our lives; the effects of our faith are natural … or we can see them as miracles, as long as we see everything as a miracle.

Reading:  John Wetzel will read NTI Hebrews, Chapter 11.

*Weekly gathering is held every Sunday morning at 10:15 am ET/8:15 am MT in the Awakening Together Sanctuary. Join us after the Gathering for our Fellowship Time, hosted by Rev. Michelle Costa.

Enter Sanctuary Here.

 


 

Join us at 1:30 pm ET/ 11:30 am MT for Freedom Practice Sangha

This will be a time of sharing our inquiries, insights, and challenges, listening to others, or just knowing that we are in community as we find that undefended place within ourselves that longs to be free. This program will be facilitated by Anne Blanchard.


 

Join us at 2:30 pm ET/ 12:30 pm MT for Qigong “The Movement of Now” with Ian McArthur

In this program, we will learn the traditional Mind, Body, and Spirit practice of Qigong (Chi Kung). Qi meaning life energy, referring to the energy circulating through the body, and Gong meaning cultivation or work. By following movements (forms) and a simple breathing technique, we encourage more Qi to flow which in turn allows us to feel more peaceful and at One with ourselves.


 

Join us at 5:00 pm ET/ 3:00 pm MT for The Mighty Companions

Revs. Glen Ganaway and Yolanda Mapes, who are interfaith ministers, share a delightful, funny, and inspiring hour of A Course in Miracles. Come join in on the fun, the laughs, and the music while unlearning the ego through the lessons and chapters of ACIM.


 

Join us at 6:00 pm ET/ 4:00 pm MT for Something Genuine with Rev. Jacquelyn Eckert

Rev. Jacquelyn Eckert facilitates this program, in which Awakening Together members and friends join together to watch and discuss TED talks that reveal the Truth of ourselves and our universe based on the actual experience of ordinary people. Their insights are genuine—not based upon theory or dogma—and give us a “man on the street” perspective on what we are coming to learn through Awakening Together.

 


 

Regina Dawn Akers OutsideJoin us at 7:00 pm ET/ 5:00 pm MT for Clarifying the Teachings with Rev. Regina Dawn Akers *Debut

Each week Regina picks a different topic and clarifies the teaching around that topic. She also takes questions regarding that topic. If there is extra time at the end of the session, she takes questions on any spiritual topic in a Satsang type of format.


 

Join us at 8:00 pm ET/ 6:00 pm MT for a Replay of 7 Steps to Awakening Audios with Regina

In this series of teachings, originally airing on Awakening Together beginning in 2012, Regina Dawn Akers shares her contemplation of the quotes compiled by Michael Langford in The Seven Steps to Awakening. The Seven Steps to Awakening is a powerful collection of quotes on the subject of how to directly experience the true Self, whose nature is Infinite-Eternal-Awareness-Love-Bliss, and how to bring the impostor self, its tricks, and all suffering to a final end in this lifetime.

Plan to join us for a rediscovery of timeless wisdom that came through Regina Dawn Akers as she shared her profound journey with this powerful book.


 

*Sanctuary now closes at a new time of 9 pm ET.

Tip for Gentle Healing Year 2 – Day 307 – Commentary On Not Knowing

January 1, 2022

Please contemplate this commentary in the same way that you contemplate the Thoughts of Awakening.

~Commentary on Not-Knowing~

 There is peace in not-knowing at the level of mind, because it is supposed knowing that keeps you distrustful, fearful and judging.

What could you judge if you did not think you knew? What could you fear without mind-knowing?

You are distrustful to stop the mind’s incessant knowing, because you feel without it you will be unsafe. But who fears letting go of this knowing? Who doubts that wisdom will keep it safe?

It is important to question, “What am I?” Realization of life is important, for without such realization you will cling to the mind that fears. Only in peace and security of not-knowing can you let go.

Thoughts of Awakening # 307

Peace comes from not-knowing
at the level of mind.

In not-knowing,
there is no worry.
There is no fear.
There is no judgment.

There is only sweet surrender
to wisdom you can trust,
because you are not attached
to imagined knowing
that keeps you living
with the mind of distrust.

~From our Holy Spirit

500 Days with NTI ~ Day 364

December 31, 2021

Day 364 Assignment

This evening (or tomorrow morning):

Read NTI 1 Thessalonians 5 in full.

Tomorrow:

  1. Meditate with this 45-minute guided meditation, Existence-Consciousness-Bliss.
  2. Watch for inner peace throughout the day. When peace is interrupted by upset:
    (a) Notice that isness/awareness peacefully allows upset.
    (b) Ask yourself this: If isness/awareness peacefully allows upset, is peace really lost during upset, or do I simply stop noticing peace because my attention goes to the upset?
    (c) See if you can place attention with the peacefulness of isness/awareness, even if the mental and emotional upset continues.

Gentle Healing Year 3 ~ Daily Contemplation #284

December 31, 2021

Don’t look for quick results; there may be none within your noticing.

Note: The next Daily Contemplation will be available tomorrow morning after 2am ET at this link.

Tip for Gentle Healing Year 2 – Day 306 – Clarity on Purpose

December 31, 2021

Since Day 300, we have been looking very carefully at mind chatter in order to notice that we believe it is me  thinking. As was pointed out on Day 300, this is a very important step. In order to fully surrender, we need to see the extent of our addiction to mind. We need to see that we cannot awaken ourselves, because we are far, far, far too addicted to mental chatter as me.

Here are some quotes to consider before beginning today’s reading:

~The disciples were amazed at his words. But Jesus said again, “Children, how hard it is to enter the kingdom of God! It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle…” The disciples were even more amazed, and said to each other, “Who then can be saved?” Jesus looked at them and said, “With man this is impossible, but not with God; all things are possible with God.” ~ Mark 10:24-27

“It is only your inner teacher that will walk you to the goal, for he is the goal. … He is your own Self, your hope and assurance of freedom; find him and cling to him and you will be saved and safe.” ~ Nisargadatta Maharaj

“…surrender yourself, because you realize your inability and need a Higher Power to help you”.

~ Ramana Maharshi

Thoughts of Awakening # 306

Silence is stillness
and stillness is silence.

Silence is a state of mind
on which chatter has no effect.
This is not because silence has learned
not to be affected by chatter.
Silence has never been affected.
It is perfectly still.

Silence is not an achievement.
It simply is,
and it is always.

Go there, to silence,
and be still in peace.

~From our Holy Spirit

Ready for a New Daily Spiritual Focus? Start 500 Days with NTI on Sunday, January 2!

December 28, 2021

500 Days with NTI

Daily Contemplation & Practice with
The Holy Spirit’s Interpretation of the New Testament

 
 
Our founder and the scribe of NTI, Regina Dawn Akers, developed this free self-study spiritual curriculum for serious spiritual students with busy lives. Whether you have a lot of free time or very little, this may be the curriculum for you! ~ There is no registration process for this self-study program. Simply follow the instructions at the bottom this page to begin this Sunday (or on any Sunday).

How Much Time Does It Take?

500 Days with NTI requires only a minimal amount of formal “sit down” practice. You’ll read approximately 1 page of NTI on most days. You’ll have one spiritual education assignment each weekend, which will typically take about 30 minutes to an hour. After a certain point in the curriculum, you’ll be asked to meditate briefly on a daily basis (can you do 15 minutes?), and you’ll be asked to write every now and then.

All together, it will take about 30-40 minutes on most days. It’s designed so you can break that up into 15-20 minutes in the evening and 15-20 minutes in the morning, if that suits your schedule best.

If It Doesn’t Take a Lot of Time, How Does it Work?

500 Days provides daily spiritual exercises, which Regina calls “walk-about exercises.” You can practice them as you work, socialize, clean house, do yard work, work out at the gym, etc. The spiritual practice goes with you where ever you go; it is incredibly targeted and carefully designed by inspiration to help you achieve clarity and realize inner peace.

How To Start the Program?

500 Days with NTI is designed to start on a Sunday. Sunday, January 2 is a great time to start, since it is the first Sunday of the new year. However, you can start the program on any Sunday of the year. Just go to 500 Days W/ NTI on the awakening-together.org menu bar and start with the First 100 Days. (Reference the following picture.)

Note: 500 Days for NTI which started in 2021 comes out on the Daily Update each day. The 2022 program will not be posted to the Daily Update. Simply go to awakening-together.org each day and follow the curriculum under the 500 Days W/ NTI menu.
