  • You Are The Garden

    You are not living in your mind anymore.  The mind becomes a helpful resource whenever you need it.  It becomes your friend rather than your tormentor, your judge, your critic, your executioner.  What comes with this awakening is a profound trust in the life force.  You are the garden, and you are flourishing.  Recorded in…

  • Healing Our Hearts

    If you’re aware of awareness, it’s like being in a beautiful breeze at the ocean. You just let it in, let it waft through you. Wonderful. That’s the sort of ultimate spiritual teaching when that’s in your field, when that’s present. Nowhere to go, nothing to do. And if you’re, you find that you’re resisting…

  • Arriving at the Oasis

    The Oasis is where you are nourished, but it’s also where you are broken down; and where you are healed; and where you are liberated. Over and over and over, however much it happens, you’re always finding it. You’re always re-arriving here. Recorded 4/10/2017 in San Francisco. www.jonbernie.org

  • No News is Good News!

    When all the stories of the mind are dropped, it’s good news. We’re constantly talking to ourselves, constantly thinking — until we’re awake, fully present, and not interfering. Then every moment is new. Every moment is alive, right here. And that’s really what we’re here for — to discover the ease of being, and to…

  • 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.…

  • 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

  • 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.…

  • Love Being

    Happiness Podcast: “What is the nature of awakened life? What is the nature of freedom? The simplest description is being. When you’re being, you’re more available as a person. You’re more loving, more understanding, more open. You’re creative; alive! And lighter, not too serious. Just enough. Playful. Curious. Awakened life is about becoming fully, completely…
