Teachings

  • Healing Social Trauma

    It’s in times of darkness that we most need the light. That’s when we’re really challenged to either run and hide and avoid, or face what’s right here. So thank you for showing up for yourself. As hard as it is right now, to cultivate consciousness is to drop knowing; to drop, at least for…

  • Every Taste is Delicious

    “Have you found out yet what a relief it is to not think? It becomes effortless as you learn to relax into openness. It feels nurturing and comforting and healing.” When you’re no longer caught in meaning, or in trying to orchestrate or manage your experience, then you’re just here. You’re just open, vulnerable, available.…

  • The Only Truth is Freedom

    What does it mean to arrive here fully? What *is* freedom? And what does it mean to truly take care of yourself?

  • Intimacy of the Heart

    Intimacy is the union of being with another without the filter of “me”. It’s a closeness, a heartfulness, an empathetic sensitivity. Even though we may not have conversed, we know each other profoundly. That’s really the depth of relationship that we seek. www.jonbernie.org

  • A Little More Joy

    The draw to become spiritually free is often just have a little more joy, a little more enjoyment, a little less angst.

Opening is a natural, mysterious movement; and what we learn from a human perspective, is how to let it move in the direction it’s moving.…

  • Wake Up Right Now

    “The fundamental teaching — the guiding principle, the guiding light — is your own true nature. Whether you’re aware of that or not, it is, always has been, and always will be what you are. Belief has nothing to do with it. Trying to achieve has nothing to do with it. It is already what…

  • Ask Into Vastness

    Are you able to surrender? Are you able to just be here? Whatever way works for you in this moment, it will open you, and it will bring you back into a harmonious presence. Maybe just being here, sensing this energy or presence in the room, if you can sense, see or tune into that.…

  • Wait Without Waiting

    Eventually you get tired of trying — tired of wanting to know the answers, or how long it’s going to take — and you just kick back. You just open. You wait without waiting. Your deeper presence begins to emerge, and radiate, and become foreground. Our fundamental nature is energy. Aliveness. When you stop, when…
