A Glimpse of Awakening
I recorded this audiobook meditation to help you to consciously experience a state where your heart is wide open and your mind is silent and in awe. This is not about instant enlightenment – it’s a first step. Perhaps your first conscious glimpse of who you were and can be again.
Awake:
To live with a wide open heart and an unfettered mind.
A clear lense for spirit to shine through.
We start out awake.
Whenever I look into a young baby’s eyes, I get this little burst of joy and hope.
Through their eyes I see…pure Spirit.
The look is the same as in the eyes of any awakened being:
pure innocence, endless love, peacefulness and a vastness.
Imagine a world in which this essence is nurtured and can mature without fear or shame.
What kind of world would an adult with these qualities create?
It would be very different from our current one.
There are times in your life when you may have spontaneously experienced your heart wide open and your mind silent and in awe.
The clear lense that you were when you were born.
The guided meditation in this audiobook can allow you to consciously experience this state again.
This is not about instant enlightenment.
It is a first step. Perhaps your first conscious glimpse of who you were and can be again.
By the way, the image of the baby on this page and on the cover of the ebook is my sweet son when he was about 8 months old! Those eyes say everything… and still do all these years later. ❤️
