About this episode
In this episode we discuss our journey and how the process of Awakening has changed and improved our lives. We discuss how Awakening can seem far-fetched but that through seemingly simple tools like Nature and Conscious Living we can access moments of deeper awareness and consciousness right here in our own lives. Episode Resources: Robert Jameson, More Than Just a Pretty Space by Reiko Gomez “We depend on nature, not only for our physical survival. We also need nature to show us the way home, the way out of the prison of our own minds. We got lost in doing, thinking, remembering, anticipating - lost in a maze of complexity and a world of problems. We have forgotten what rocks, plants and animals still know. We have forgotten how to be - to be still, to be ourselves, to be where life is: Here and Now.” Stillness Speaks by Eckhart Tolle (pg.77) (00:00) Introduction to Awakening and Conscious Living: Introduction to the podcast, focusing on the themes of awakening and conscious living.
