This is an introduction to the series, Awakening Together, Relaxing into Happiness with William Cooper, Master of Theology, Licensed Professional Counselor. In this series we are exploring a distillation of what he has found most helpful on the path of Awakening over the last 50 or so years. William has experienced everything he talks about in these podcasts. Because truth is timeless and universal his direct experience is supported by timeless teachings. Many have found his clear step by step pointers a game changer.

William has been to India 14 times, Bhutan, Brazil Thailand, etc. He spent 4 years and seminary. He is a licensed psychotherapist and blends East and West into what works for many.

The podcasts are pretty short to start so give them a try and a chance. I can't imagine them not being helpful or supportive in some way....even if you are already experiencing your Self clearly. Always nice to hear how others explain things. I feel it is supportive and deepening.

These podcasts are here to support your personal path of awakening whatever that might be. I feel they are most powerful when listened to in sequence from podcast one forward because each is built on the last. Though they, also, all stand on their own. If anything does not resonate, please disregard it and follow your heart. All my podcasts and website are free. Enjoy!

Though I am a psychotherapist, and these podcasts are offered to be spiritually helpful, they are not psychotherapy. If psychotherapy is ever needed, please reach out to a psychotherapist.

This podcast lays out the direction we will be going. We will be experiencing our true Selves and dissolve the false. We explore the basis of meditation and an Awakened life where we will begin to flow into a more integrated personality that better serves us. More fully Awakened and flowing.

Please note that as you open up and release pains it can be very painful. Consider taking baby steps and stopping each day and resting rather than pushing too hard and becoming overwhelmed. You'll get there in your own time and way. Be kind to yourself.

Before talking deeply about and experiencing awakening let's look at how we experience our inner selves. Let's look at who we are and what we are not. So we can begin to clear out the clutter to better see and appreciate our clear Being. Awakening!

Our Being is always intensely happy. But we don't always feel powerfully happy and Calm. Why? And can meditation help dissolve what is blocking us and feeling so bad? How? Most are meditating mistakenly thinking it should peaceful and calm and it is not. So we no longer continue. Let's correct some basic misinformation before we actually begin our awakening meditation in the next podcast. Let's start right...even if we are just scratching the surface.

Practicing the Awakening meditation together again. This time a little longer. Continued instruction....just to make sure we are confident in our meditation. We, also, talked some about not leaving our center which is the radiance that we are. From awareness we simply let everything be and experience it as it is. Acceptance really. As we stay in Awareness everything else burns away until all there is is radiant awareness and connection to all around. Oneness. "The Father and I are One"
