Awakening Together, Relaxing into Happiness with William Cooper, Master of Theology, Licensed Professional Counselor

Knowing your Being and connecting to all else is essential for awakening.  So often we think the spiritualized mind is our Being and get stuck in using the mind to awaken the mind.  Additionally, we can spend years "watching" the mind rather than connecting with it.  While watching is helpful to detach, connecting is essential to transform and heal.  They are vastly different.  In this p...

Life is your Guru.  We close off because of trauma or attachment.  Being closed off to ourSelves we experience hurt, fear and anger which we repress in our minds, emotions and ultimately our bodies.  Closed and in pain we do not flow happily.  All the pain that is repressed emits a vibration of hurt and life resonates in kind.  The law of complimentary vibrations.  Awareness is curative and life g...

Many of us are anxious, stress, time pressured, and not fully present to the joys of our life.  In our Un awakened state we feel lacking and pressed to accomplish the next task in order to feel more complete.  But then there is the next task and the next.  We never really rest, and we can never feel complete by what we do because we are incomplete inside.  That is the Un awakened state.  We explor...

We are always One with all.  In Oneness we experience complete trust because we are All and, therefore, trust our Selves directly.  In Oneness we are Happiness, Love, Peace, Well Being and Trust.  We are every good thing.  All our former discordant thoughts and tensions have relaxed, released and are gone.  Sometimes we do not feel One with All because we have formed emotional barriers.  One cruci...

In the realm of awakening there are only two things, our Being and our blocks.  Being in touch with our Being and our blocks are equally important.  Awakening is Relaxing into Happiness.  The path of awakening is one of opening up and relaxing into our ever-present Being.  That is felt as the joy of release and relaxation.  Our use of yoga or any other techniques should always open us up and feel...

This is part 2 of a 5 part introduction to PTSD and what I have found helpful in working with PTSD on my path of Awakening. You are a relaxed beautiful radiant loving Being flowing effortlessly with love......but often we don't feel that way much.  Why?  We absorbed a "bruise" of inadequacy, fear, discontent, or some other equally untrue feeling.  This became our underlying felt sen...

Perhaps one of the most important and overlooked aspects of awakening is integration of the old personality from the inside out.  Receiving and relaxing into Happiness is crucial.  The traumatized part of our personality was created while we were experiencing separation and alienation.  Those files have to be updated with the very simple approach discussed in this podcast.  Though powerful, these...

Awakening is often a two part process.  We extract ourselves from all of our distractions and put our attention back on our Selves.  We take our foot off the brake and accelerate.  In this podcast our attention is on accelerating at our own pace. Baby steps and we'll get there.  Let's stay connected with any happiness, peace or well being that we can find.  Let's listen primarily to...

Taking a pause from practices we look at what we are now and always.  We are One.  In fact there is no us....only Happiness.  There is no connection because there is no two and, therefore nowhere to flow and connect to.  There is only the hum of bliss which is everything....creation. And the other side of the same coin which is everything beyond creation.  In this podcast we don't postpone ex...

We do a meditation to start to explore and be in touch with all the Energy, Bliss, Peace, Love, Happiness, etc that we are....even if it is in a trapped state at the moment.  In our meditation we explore what might loosen the bounds of our infinite radiance inside.  We will continue this exploration in various future podcasts....especially the ones on PTSD but this is a start to loosen things up i...

Close your eyes and feel your self.  What is going on inside?  Do you feel tension? Pain? Hurt? Stress? Nothing?  Racing thoughts?  Troublesome emotions? Anticipation? Love and Peace? What are you experiencing?  Don't change anything just notice what you are feeling.  You are the infinite energy of Being and always will be. We are using this moment to get a snapshot of how you are choosing to...
