Is Spiritual Awakening More Common Than We Think? with Susan Telford and Steve Taylor07 Jun 202401:00:21

In this episode of The Awareness Podcast, Susan Telford welcomes transpersonal psychologist, best-selling author, lecturer and spiritual poet, Steve Taylor, PhD.

Steve shares his own personal awakening experiences that began at a young age and that ultimately led him to devote his life to the study, investigation and process of spiritual awakening.

In his newest book, The Adventure: A Practical Guide to Spiritual Awakening, Steve explains, through his research of hundreds of people who had a profound spiritual awakening, that these experiences are not mystical or extraordinary, but rather they are more common than we realize. Many people may not even know that they are living their lives in a natural state of awakening or enlightenment.

Steve explains what he believes are the eight essential aspects of spiritual awakening that anyone can cultivate, and he discusses how guided meditations, contemplative exercises, and other practices can bring about spiritual transformation in our everyday lives.

Steve also shares a bit about his upcoming four-part live series for Center for Awakening beginning on July 8th entitled Four Steps to Awakening: Cultivating the Qualities of Spiritual Enlightenment.

From Hollywood to the Himalayas: A Journey of Healing and Transformation with Bill Free and Sadhviji03 Jun 202401:04:11

Sadhvi Bhagawati Saraswati was born in the USA and her spiritual journey took her to India, where she has lived for many years in the Parmarth Niketan Ashram ashram.

In this edition of the Awareness Podcast, Bill Free chats to Sadhviji about her recently published memoir, Hollywood to the Himalayas: A Journey of Healing and Transformation.

Sadhviji speaks about her very conventional American life that was turned upside down by a vacation to India when she was 25 years old and in the middle of a PhD at Stanford.

It was there that she met her guru, HH Pujya Swami Chidanand Saraswatiji and her life changed forever.

Living the Non-Dual Understanding with Bill Free & Francis Lucille: Is there a role for the Holy Spirit on the Non-Dual Path?07 Jan 202200:57:50

When Bill Free sat down with spiritual teacher Francis Lucille to discuss what it means to live the non-dual understanding, he did not expect that they were going to be talking about the Holy Spirit. 

However what unfolded was a fascinating conversation about the importance of how we define terms, the self-evidence of awareness and what Francis calls the greatest revelation.

The Awareness Podcast Trailer 29 Dec 202100:01:33

Hello and welcome to The Awareness Podcast — brought to you by the Center for Awakening — a nonprofit dedicated to supporting people on the spiritual journey of awakening to their true nature, and discovering the peace and happiness that are ever-present within us.

Here, you’ll find teachings, reflections and meditations rooted in nonduality — invitations to rest as awareness itself, and to remember the peace that’s already here.

If you’ve ever felt like you’re striving for peace, chasing calm, or trying to “get it right,” this podcast is for you. Each week, a new teaching, reflection or meditation will be shared to help you release effort, let go of the stories of the mind and body, and return to the stillness that never leaves.

This is about discovering the wholeness you already are — and letting that presence carry you into daily life.

So we invite you to subscribe now, wherever you listen to podcasts, and join us each week on The Awareness Podcast.

Because true peace isn’t something you have to create. It’s something you remember.

Thank you for being here — and for remembering with us.

Living in Not-Knowing with Jenny Beal and Heena Vasani: Life is Our Teacher13 Oct 202301:05:32

In this episode, Jenny's guest, Heena Vasani describes how her mother abandoned her at a very young age, and Jenny and Heena discuss how the trauma from that experience led to inner work over many years to find resolution and healing.

Heena describes how her spiritual journey started in her early 20’s with a profound glimpse of her true nature that occurred when she was about to undergo a kidney transplant.

Jenny and Heena also discuss:

  • The importance of fully facing the feelings that are a residue of trauma.
  • How the fact that we don’t choose our thoughts means that we don’t choose our conditioning, and our parents didn’t choose their conditioning either. That understanding removes a huge amount of anger and blame.
  • How motherhood provided Heena with the lessons she needed for her non-dual understanding to become fully integrated with her everyday life. Children are very good at pushing our buttons and they instantly detect any lack of authenticity.
  • The uncertainty of life.
  • The freedom that comes with living in not-knowing.
  • The joy of continuing to learn and discover.

Living in Not-Knowing with Jenny Beal and Elizabeth Reninger: Where Spiritual Traditions Meet08 Sep 202300:57:25

In this episode, Jenny's guest, Elizabeth Reninger describes how when she was very young, the birth of her sister and the death of a young child in a farming accident sparked an early curiosity about the nature of human existence. The death of her father a few years later led to the recognition that we are not the body.

Her childhood curiosity persisted into adulthood and led to a path of exploring the deepest truth. Initially this was through academic studies, but later through a variety of spiritual traditions. She was fascinated by what the various teachings have in common.

In meeting Thich Nhat Hhan, something that had been missing was revealed. As a result, the direction of her life changed completely. She describes how the process of awakening happened through a series of shifts. Understanding and expression of what she experienced came later.

Jenny and Elizabeth  discuss:

  • The connections between Buddhism, Taoism and Advaita Vedanta, and the ideas from each of these traditions that have had a lasting significance for Elizabeth
  • The benefits of having a living Teacher. 
  • How a teacher can help at an early stage of the spiritual path and in the stabilization process
  • What living in not-knowing means in practical life.

Conversations in Truth with Bill Free and Chris Beckett : Wisdom Freed: The Everyday Spiritual Path to Liberation01 Sep 202301:06:14

In this episode of Conversation in Truth, Bill Free talks to his guest Chris Beckett about what Chris calls Wisdom Freed.

Wisdom Freed is about pointing your spirituality towards the most important part of your life - the everyday when you're working, going to the supermarket or catching up with a good friend.

Chris discusses his own unexpected spiritual awakening and how through a series of Micro Meditations - simple, quick moments of presence done throughout the day, he allowed the natural process of awakening and liberation to unfold.

Chris discovered that these moments of presence also need to be supported with letting be. In this way, you avoid the danger of just practicing presence as a way to avoid the messy parts of life and the pitfall of just letting yourself be and acting out unconsciously and harming yourself and others.

Self Inquiry: A Meditative Approach with Susan Telford and Heena Vasani17 Apr 202400:59:28

In this episode of The Awareness Podcast, Susan Telford sat down with Heena Vasani to discuss Heena’s life and work using Dr Gabor Mate’s Compassionate Inquiry.

Heena had a kidney transplant 27 years ago, a topic she discussed with Jenny Beal here: https://hub.centerforawakening.org/blog/episode87

In this conversation with Susan, Heena shared how she almost refused the transplant,
because of a deep seated sense of unworthiness.

In finally accepting the donated kidney as a priceless gift, only made possible the death
of another young woman she never met, Heena stepped onto a path of nurturing
herself on all levels.

Heena talks about divine motherhood and how motherhood became her primary spiritual path and led her to examine all her previously undigested childhood trauma and the effects such trauma has on the body and mind.

Heena also speaks passionately about her work using Compassionate Inquiry and describes what happens in a session.

Finally, Heena describes the 4-part workshop she is facilitating for Center for
Awakening in May, entitled Self Inquiry: A Meditative Approach.

Living An Awakened Life with Susan Telford and Helen Hamilton: Awakening to the Truth25 Aug 202301:14:25

We have all heard the phrase “spiritual awakening”, but do you really know what it means, especially for those of us who are living an “ordinary” life in the world?

Perhaps you have an image of what you think it should look like, feel like, be like.

In this episode of Living an Awakened Life, Susan and Helen go right back to first principles to discuss what spiritually awakening really is, how it shows up in our lives and the changes it brings.

Helen shares her own experience of awakening; what she describes as “the perfect meditation” and offers a guided practice to support you in being present with whatever is going on in your mind and body without trying to change anything.

Susan and Helen discuss whether a living teacher is always necessary and what is meant by the ”divine feminine”.

Helen also discusses what to expect in her 4 part live Masterclass series  “Awakening to the Truth” beginning in September. For more on Helen's upcoming Masterclass and to register: https://www.teachersofgod.org/helen-hamilton-masterclass

Living in Not-Knowing with Jenny Beal and Venkatesh Deshpande - The Ramana Way11 Aug 202301:04:53


Venkatesh describes how his upbringing in a religious Hindu family led initially to spiritual questioning about the nature of God and then to the practice of Transcendental Meditation.  Venkatesh discusses how he came to give up his successful career in business to follow a path of self-knowledge.

He outlines the rigorous daily programme of work and study at the Sivananda ashram, where he followed a progressive path of both Jnana and Bhakti yoga. A spontaneous decision to visit the Ramana Maharshi ashram at Tiruvannamalai, resulted in him falling in love with Ramana’s teaching and seeing that all the sages were saying the same thing – that this inward journey is the most important purpose of life.

We go on to discuss a number of aspects of Ramana’s teaching, including the basic ‘who am I’ practice, how to overcome the frustration of thoughts that keep flooding back, and how to deal with blank states. He explains the importance of questioning, and the connection between questioning, openness and not-knowing. Supported by his faith in the teaching and a strong desire for liberation he describes how he discovered the unchanging, inner joy of living as pure consciousness, ‘an instrument in the hands of the Lord’.

Living in Not-Knowing with Jenny Beal and Marc Keller: Effortless Being14 Jul 202301:08:58

In this episode, Marc describes how he became a mindfulness trainer and life coach and then went on to explore his true nature more deeply, initially with Jan Geurtz, a non-dual teacher specializing in love and relationships, and later with Rupert Spira and Francis Lucille.

During the Covid pandemic he went deeply into what he really knew for himself. Understanding the non-dual teaching is a starting-point, but it takes courage to really live as consciousness, with no ground beneath your feet.

Marc has a serious and incurable medical condition called ‘restless legs syndrome’ which causes chronic lack of sleep. He explains how living in not-knowing, giving up trying to be the controller, and allowing life to unfold spontaneously provides the greatest relief.

Jenny and Marc discuss how to provide a bridge from the duality of conventional mindfulness to effortless non-duality.

The Conditions of No Escape: Exploring the Mystery of Awakening with Susan Telford and Daniel Schmidt21 Feb 202401:05:50

In this new episode of The Awareness Podcast, Susan Telford sits down with award-winning filmmaker and founder of the Awaken the World Initiative, Daniel Schmidt to discuss spiritual awakening.

Learn about what Dan describes as a "pattern interrupt" and how that has played out in his own life.

Susan and Dan discuss what is meant by the term "spiritual ego" and how effort on the spiritual path can take us further from the Truth of who we are. Dan speaks eloquently about the importance of what he calls "the conditions of  no escape" and "the surrender paradox".

Dan also describes what he will be teaching in his 4 part series, Letting Stillness Reveal Itself, exclusively available in Center for Awakening's Evolve Community in March.

ABOUT DAN

Daniel is the creator of the award winning film “Inner Worlds Outer Worlds” the “Samadhi” film series and is also one of the creators and speakers in the Awakening Mind series. It is Daniel’s intention to convey the one perennial teaching that is inherent within all of the spiritual traditions. Daniel created the Samadhi Center in Ontario Canada and the Awaken the World Initiative as an outer reflection of his inner world. His approach combines self-inquiry with traditional forms of meditation so that participants have the opportunity to simultaneously realize their transcendent nature, and to purify themselves of conditioned patterns so that the human vessel becomes permeable to their true nature. Daniel emphasizes that Samadhi can be experienced not merely as a temporary “state” but as a “stage” of development. Check out this interview with Daniel from the Awakening Mind film.

The “pathless path” is to realize an ever-deepening development process within the self-structure, and to simultaneously realize the emptiness of the self-structure. When these are realized as one, it is Samadhi.

Living in Not-Knowing with Jenny Beal and Hѐlen Vink -Miksang: Expressing the Beauty of the Ordinary World09 Jun 202301:04:48

In this podcast, Jenny and Hѐlen discuss the Dharma Art of Miksang, a form of contemplative photography, and its role as a spiritual practice on the path of beauty.

Hѐlen describes how difficulties in her life led her to the Dharma Arts and Shambhala Buddhism. Miksang practice starts from being open and available. We have a tendency to overlook moments of pure, fresh seeing, and conceptualise what we see, giving everything a name and a form. In Miksang, instead of photographing objects, we express the simple, direct and brilliant experience of a flash of perception, before the mind has applied any concepts to it. It’s an effortless way of meeting the sacred world at any moment during daily life. When we let go of likes and dislikes, good and bad, and the egoic desire to create a beautiful photo, we discover beauty all around us, shining in the ordinary.

To find out more about Hѐlen and the Dharma Art of Miksang, including details of her online and European events you can visit her website here: https://miksang.eu
The quarryfarm.com website contains examples of photos produced during the Miksang training courses that Jenny attended with Hѐlen.

Living in Not-Knowing with Jenny Beal and Ann McIlraith- Exploring the Transparency of the Body10 Mar 202300:58:35

In this edition of the Awareness podcast, Ann McIlraith describes her journey to the non-dual understanding through exploration of the body. She explains how T’ai Chi brings a feeling of openness and transparency of the body. The body can teach us so much, and T’ai Chi takes you beyond the body.

Jenny and Ann discuss how the practice of T’ai Chi relates to the investigation of the body that Francis Lucille teaches, and the discovery of our borderlessness through which the feeling of separation that resides in the body dissolves.  Ann describes how in group work, the sense of being contained in a physical body disappears and you are experiencing the energy field in which all the physical bodies are moving. It’s a way of transcending the body while inhabiting it.

“When you’re feeling that your heart will burst with joy, when you’re feeling love, or beauty, when something touches you completely – that’s it. It’s simple.”

Living in Not-Knowing with Jenny Beal and Donald Hoffman: Science and Non-duality10 Feb 202301:14:47

In this Living in Not-knowing podcast, Donald Hoffman explains how science is now catching up with what many of the spiritual traditions have been saying for millennia - that there is only one consciousness, and that time and space are not fundamental. What does science tell us about the nature of our human experience? Can we escape from the virtual reality headset that prevents us seeing things as they really are? Can Artificial Intelligence become conscious? What do we mean by 'understanding'? Is there anything we can know for certain? How can science and spirituality work together to discover new insights into the nature of ourselves and the universe? Don also talks about his practice of meditation, and describes the benefits it brings to his scientific work, to his everyday life, and to his understanding of his true nature.

Living in Not-Knowing with Jenny Beal and Francis Lucille: The Joyful, Never-ending Path of Not-Knowing13 Jan 202301:03:26

In this episode, Francis describes what it means ‘to live in not-knowing’ and explains the distinction between non-duality and non-dualism. We discuss the different ways in which we can approach the hidden knowledge of awareness. After the first stage in which we discover the absolute reality of pure consciousness, Francis explains why it is essential to recognise that this one reality shines as this world. That’s the only way to be stable in this understanding. Otherwise, we feel nostalgia for the state of pure awareness, and then there is suffering.

We went on to discuss practice. Francis explained that after having a first glimpse of the truth, it’s a life-time assignment. The goal is happiness. Practice converges with life. You don’t stop the practice when you are enlightened. After enlightenment, you practice all the time. But it’s important to make sure your practice comes from love and enthusiasm. Otherwise you stay on the path of self-improvement for lifetime after lifetime. How could more effort, more suffering take you closer to the effortless path?
