Special Guest: Arjuna Ardgh
In today’s episode of Healing from Within, your host, Sheryl Glick (http://www.sherylglick.com/), author of The Living Spirit: Answers for Healing and Infinite Love, which shares insights into the awakening process that so many people are experiencing today as they begin to understand Energy- how it works and influences their thoughts and actions and the ultimate possibilities of this wisdom for manifesting their spiritual and life goals with greater compassion and open hearts, welcomes Arjuna Ardagh, author of his newest book, Better Than Sex (http://www.awakeningcoachingtraining.com/) which is a lively book that helps access such moments of awakening and shows you how easy it is to coach others to live this awakening in day to day life:
We will try to liberate the essence of spiritual awakening and liberate it from the familiar packaging of thousands of years of patriarchal tradition to discover its greatest potential, what is truly most important and alive for us rather than the superficial or watered down version of some spiritual practices. Arjuna will discuss the Seven Innate Brilliances of Awakening Coaching and the differences between awakening coaching and psychotherapy.
At 14 years old, Arjuna, living in England in a family mired in its own psychological suffering began to meditate and went on to teach meditation before the age of 20. He graduated from Cambridge University and went to India for further studies. Arjuna encountered HWL Poonja, a direct student of the celebrated sage Ramana Maharshi. Returning to Seattle, which was then his home, he began to facilitate other’s dramatic shift in their outlook. He felt that by developing peer to peer context for spiritual development it might by-pass the problematic relationship so many people have created over the centuries limiting themselves to working only with gurus, prophets and religious leaders.
Sheryl says “In my new book The Living Spirit (http://www.sherylglick.com/) Answers for Healing and Infinite Love I suggest that we each have the capacity personally to connect to the wisdom and guidance of Universal Source and that downloading inspiration and guidance from that energy or knowledge helps us pursue our personal life plan and to make an individual intimate connection to Higher Consciousness awakening and finding our ultimate potential to thrive. Holding fast to one particular set of beliefs or experiences does not foster personal growth and a greater understanding of the forces of life and the interconnectedness of all life. The potential we all have to live a successful prosperous and healthy lifestyle is in the energy of Being and in thoughts and actions that we manifest either using the best most positive themes of life or succumbing to the negative aspects of Self. Spirituality is therefore a system of self investigation beyond beliefs and patterned programs to make this union with All…in other words, I recommend various teachers and studies and various energy modalities as the way to find what resonates well within you and to know that anything that leads you to a greater awareness of yourself and others is beneficial….. but we must keep learning and examining all avenues, as life is constantly changing and evolving.”
Arjuna tells us how he came up with the title for his book, Better than Sex. At a workshop while doing exercises to awaken his deepest connection with his true nature as limitless consciousness and the way he lives in the physical and spiritual worlds, one student attempted to describe his experience of the Peer to Peer Awakening Coaching exercises and said…”Well, it’s better than sex….of course implying it’s great to feel at such a deep level and make connections to love and compassion with an open heart and to go beyond just physically feeling good to a complete state of physical emotional and spiritual well being.”
When one has an awakening,
