Heal, Awaken, Thrive.
Spiritual Awakening isn’t an easy path but, those of us who walk it do so because it provides the most comprehensive answers to why we suffer, how to stop suffering, and how to thrive. If you’re tired of your suffering and willing to commit your time, energy and resources to change, I have a comprehensive program to help you heal. This won’t remove you from being human, it’s not “spiritual bypassing via transcending,” it is better. You can’t hide out in the Transcendent forever, so you might as well learn to embody your awakening from the start.
The conceptual outline of my program has been clearly stated in my new book: Being Human and Waking Up: a therapist’s guide for clients and seekers. You can find it on Amazon.com in Kindle and Paperback formats (Paperback is great if you want to start working before we meet and doing some of the writing exercises.)
We can work together to create change in all these areas:
Physical: learn to relate to your physical body as the source of all experiential information about the Transcendent and everything else. Learn that it’s important to care for your body as the precious vehicle for your Conscious life in this three-dimensional world.
Mental: learn to check whether your thoughts are true or not. Discover when your mind is useful and distinguish that from times when your mind is uselessly running your life into the ground with catastrophic false thoughts and false thought-originated emotions. The Truth does set you free, because Truth lives in the Core and Essence of you and brings you peace.
Emotional: learn to make peace with your emotions, accept their existence, and determine whether they can be used as fuel for positive insight and action or need to be dissolved and let go of. The painful emotions don’t exist to punish us, they exist to teach us.
Psychological: look at the psychological constructs or patterns that block your freedom to be your unique self in each moment, and begin to dissolve them. It’s wonderful to be spontaneously yourself without old conditioning in the way.
Spiritual: experience the Awareness that you are at your Core and start to see its qualities manifesting in your life: love, bliss, freedom, peace, and truthfulness.
A few, simple, spiritual practices are all you need.
You will learn what meditation is and how to do it: sitting, walking, fishing, crocheting, riding a bike, and in many other ways.
I will teach you what mindfulness really is and how to ‘do it.’
I will also teach you how the skillful handling of your thoughts and feelings will contribute to you being an effective human being. I know how to do this because I’m also a Licensed Professional Counselor in the United States (and the State of Pennsylvania). I’ve been helping people unpack their thoughts, feelings, and sensations for 25 years, 24 years as a guide to Awakening.
You don’t need complex doctrine, dogma, or hierarchy to wake up, though your ego will make you think so. Find out that awakening is simple; that’s the message at Simply Awake.
Uncover Your Divine Awareness.
Once you’re effective enough not be lost in the temporary ‘dramas’ of your life, you’ll be able to give more attention to uncovering the Divine Awareness that you already are. As it’s said in some spiritual traditions “you Are already that which you seek.” You’ll learn how to disidentify with your ego and it’s ceaseless and mostly false chatter, and learn to identify with the calm, radiant Awareness that sits underneath that ego and registers its every word and emotion.
Once that happens, you’ll be able to work with the deeper aspects of yourself: your uniqueness, how to manifest that uniqueness in work and relationships, how to find satisfaction (sometimes called ‘meaning’) in your activities, and how to love and be loved.
