Jayawake

In this podcast Jay speaks about what enlightenment really is, beyond spiritual bullshit and concepts. Enlightenment is one of the most misunderstood words in spirituality.It is often described as bliss, peace, or a special experience. Enlightenment is a permanent here-ness. It is the permanent absence of identification with the mind. Thoughts, emotions and experiences still appear, but they are no longer taken to be “me”.This is not a state you achieve and not something the mind can practice...

Meditation is often misunderstood as a technique to calm the mind or control thoughts. In this episode, Jay speaks about what meditation really is – not as something you do, but as a shift in how you relate to thoughts, emotions and inner resistance. This is an invitation to stop trying to fix yourself and to discover a more natural, effortless way of being.

In this episode, Jay explains the healing power of allowing yourself as you are and allowing life as it is. When you begin to live this, you discover that true healing comes from openness and softness of heart. Inner resistance becomes peaceful, old wounds begin to heal, and you return to the natural ease of being who you really are.

In this episode, Jay explains that truth is not a personal opinion or a viewpoint. It is the ultimate reality that does not change the truth of what is and the truth of who you are. This truth is the same for everyone because it is already present beneath all thoughts, stories and identities. When you rest as awareness in the now, this truth becomes unmistakably clear.

In this episode, Jay points out what awakening really is. It is not an achievement and not a change of who you are. It is the direct recognition of your source, the discovery of the freedom of who you really are, beneath all thoughts and emotions. Awakening is seeing yourself as awareness in the now, with openness and softness of heart.
