Jon Bernie: Going with the Flow of Awakening--dealing with thoughts, mind, emotions, energy

Nondual spiritual teacher and former Zen monk Jon Bernie talks to participants at the San Francisco satsang about how letting everything move--thoughts, mind, emotions, energy--can transmute them and help the dissolution of identity. Includes a participant dialogue where Jon facilitates the student's energetic movement, discharge and integration with hands-on healing and channeling.

Jon Bernie is a contemporary, nondual teacher who offers a compassionate, heart-centered approach to spiritual awakening, providing guidance on re-aligning with the already enlightened state that is our essential nature. He has four decades of practice and study in the Zen, Theravada Buddhist & Advaita traditions. A series of early awakening experiences as a teenager led Jon to ordain as a Zen monk in the lineage of Shunryu Suzuki Roshi, and subsequently to the practice of retreat-based Vipassana (insight meditation) as an early student of mindfulness meditation teacher Jack Kornfield.
Jon’s spiritual trajectory was profoundly altered by meeting Jean Klein, an accomplished teacher of Advaita Vedanta and Kashmiri Yoga, with whom he studied for an extended period. Jon subsequently spent time with H.W.L. Poonja (Papaji) and Robert Adams, both direct disciples of Ramana Maharshi. Jon’s spiritual development was also greatly aided by his decades-long relationship with Brother David Steindl-Rast, who, along with Thomas Merton, was one of the first Christian monks to seriously practice in the Zen and Tibetan traditions. Jon was formally asked to teach by Adyashanti in 2002.
In addition to his work as a nondual spiritual teacher, Jon is also an experienced healer and teacher of somatic embodiment, trained in the Alexander Technique, Zero Balancing, and the Qigong system of Dr. Yu Penxi. He works closely with individuals to facilitate consciousness development and deep emotional healing.
Jon offers online gathering and meditation retreats for people around the world.

This was my exact experience for 3 days in a row, 4 months ago. The vibration and energy has not stopped. Much crying and tremendous fear.

"Trust means the willingness to not know what's happening. The willingness to not understand. The willingness to allow what's happening. And to deeply know that it's working. How could it not be?"

Just the exact moment he started to say that I scrolled to comments and saw this words of this comment. Wow.

[@alesdostal1]

A lot of teachers advice to stay as an unchanged witness, to be an ultimate witness, and observe everything from a place beyond the mind, but I do not want to experience such spiritual awakening, I would like to flow with my mind like Jon Bernie.... thank for that.
