Thoughts of Awakening #365

February 5, 2019

I agree to continue listening to wisdom
even though I realize it will put an end
to the local-self I think I am
and this world-appearance that I believe is real.
I accept there may be resistance,
and I give resistance permission to make itself known,
but I shall react only by watching with non-attachment
as I continue to follow the call of wisdom.

Tips from Regina ~ Introduction to Gentle Healing Year 3 (This is Year 2 Day 365 & Year 3 Daily Contemplation #1)

February 5, 2019

In order to progress on the spiritual path with your inner teacher, tomorrow you will begin reading and contemplating The Seven Steps to Awakening. Over the next year, you will receive insight from inner wisdom and specific guidance tailored especially for you.

I won’t write tips in Year 3, because it’s time for me to leave you in the hands of the best teacher, your inner teacher. There will be a Daily Contemplation assignment each day, which will provide instruction regarding what to read and contemplate from The Seven Steps to Awakening. To help you contemplate the quotes, you can use my Seven Steps journal, which is published as Out of the Stillness: Realizing Non-Dual Truth One Step at a Time. However, it’s important to realize that your contemplation may not look like mine. For example:

I contemplated each Seven Steps quote individually. You might read and contemplate 4 quotes as one cohesive group of quotes.
I wrote short bits of wisdom after contemplating each quote. You might write longer messages from your inner teacher, similar to the messages I received while writing with Inner Ramana.

There may be other differences between my Seven Steps journal and your journal, so don’t imagine that your journal is supposed to look like mine. Don’t imagine that it is supposed to look any particular way at all. Let the inner teacher guide, and trust your inner teacher.

Today, you can prepare for Year 3 by reviewing the tip from Day 328.

If you have decided not to move on to Year 3, consider retaking Gentle Healing Year 1 or Year 2. You might find Year 1 interesting, because it’s been awhile since you went through that curriculum. You will most definitely see it and experience it differently this time. However, if you feel guided to repeat Year 2, follow your guidance. It knows what is best for you.

Please contemplate the following Thought of Awakening today:

but I shall react only by watching
with non-attachment
as I continue to follow the call of wisdom.

Open for Registration – The Teachings of Inner Ramana

February 4, 2019

This class is 3 weeks long.

The Teachings of Inner Ramana came to our founder, Rev. Regina Dawn Akers, in 2009 when she said a prayer asking for something to take her to the next step. It teaches three tools, surrender, mantra and self-inquiry, which work together to help break the addiction to the chattering mind.

In this class you will:

1. Become familiar with surrender as a means of tuning into spiritual intuition for guidance in everyday circumstances.

2. Practice the mantra as a way of gently removing attention from mental chatter.

3. Practice self-inquiry in order to notice that the “I” in thought is only thought.

4. Practice Self-inquiry in order to seek for the true Self.

Class Schedule:

~ On Thursday evenings, February 28 – March 14, 2018 from 7:30am-9:30pm ET. Homework begins February 22. Facilitator: Rev. Helen Avery

Specific Information:
Cost is $60.
Textbook needed is The Teachings of Inner Ramana by Regina Dawn Akers.
Class is offered in Zoom. Familiarity with Zoom is helpful.
