20 - Noticing What's Happening In Your Awakening

We discuss a combination of things that are or will happen in your awakening at this stage in our podcasts. We will explore parts of this combination much more deeply in future podcasts. First we are the only ones that are causing suffering inside of us. We have to stop it or it will not stop.

Second, we have to stop the carrot stick approach many of us use. Third, Awareness is curative so we stop (meditate) and experience. Fourth, under these thoughts and emotions is tension felt as a block.

Thanks William, the is is very helpful
I am going to listen to your talks on PTSD and spiritual practice because I've never heard anyone make that connection before
Love and blessings to you

I had to laugh—I only recently (last few years) realized I always front-end-loaded my tasks, chores and errands before I would allow myself to relax. It helped a lot that the first thing I do in the day is meditate, do yoga, dance and generally really enjoy myself—but after that, I would be “on duty” till everything I planned for the day was done before I would relax, sit down and read, take a walk, or call a friend. When I twigged to this, I started paying attention! I started to break the work-first-till-done habit. By throwing in a drive to the beach to look at the water, or stopping to read a book. It has really helped. Some days, I find I’ll just assess what might NEED to be done, do only that, and just relax for the rest of the day. It’s very beneficial and makes the relaxation more relaxing, too.
There are more ego things to address yet, but they get easier!
Thanks for your talks, William.

Brilliant, clear & so informative important message. What a comforting voice. Thank you for this. Look forward to more of your podcasts :)

Awareness is curative. That’s empowering. Awakening happens when we are absorbed in the present moment, absorbed by it. Very helpful. Going to listen again before I move on. I am listening in order per your advice and it is helpful. Thank you for your generous sharing.

I just want to stop. Wondering why so much value on figuring out self... Soak in, allow to disappear. PTSD doesn't respond well to spiritual practices, curious to hear you speak on this. Thank God there is more 💚
