  • All of “You” Is Welcome – Jon Bernie

    Your conscious choice to be present for yourself is essential, as it allows you to rediscover and connect deeply with all aspects of yourself—beyond and including your relative self—awakening to the extraordinary aliveness in each moment.

  • Self-Healing Training–allowing your disillusioned, defeated, frustrated, unsatisfied self

    Find out how deep training in being fully present with all aspects of yourself—both the vast, free and the limited, struggling self is a path to self-healing.

  • 30 Min Guided Meditation – Turn Within Deeply and Observe

    Jon Bernie shares a guided meditation on effortless presence, encouraging gentle awareness, self-compassion, and openness to all parts of oneself. With an emphasis on healing and awakening arising not from striving but from deep listening, acceptance, and relaxing into being, allowing consciousness to naturally unfold.

  • Opening into Awareness – Guided Meditation

    Jon Bernie guides a gentle opening into awareness practice: notice what’s present, release effort or resistance, and return to awareness with kindness. The focus is on resting in stillness, sensing rather than thinking, and approaching the moment with compassion and patience.

  • When You Stop Fixing, Healing Begins

    Jon Bernie shares a humorous and profound meditation story about resisting the urge to scratch an itch. Instead of reacting, he stayed present, which led to a deep inner experience. He emphasizes that true practice means fully being with what is—without agenda or interference. Awareness and acceptance, even of discomfort, can open the door to profound insight. But he also reminds us that it’s okay to scratch the itch later. The key is balance, experimentation, and presence—not perfection. Ultimately, this teaches self-love, humility, and connection to the vast mystery of existence.

  • Going with the Flow of Awakening — dealing with thoughts, mind, emotions, energy

    Jon Bernie explores the deep teaching of “going with the flow”—letting thoughts, feelings, and sensations move naturally without resistance. Awakening arises when we stop trying to control and instead trust the flow of life. True transformation happens through presence, openness, and non-doing, not through effort or belief. A live emotional breakthrough during the session illustrates how powerful release and healing can happen when we allow energy to move freely in a supportive space. Ultimately, Jon emphasizes trust, interconnectedness, and the natural unfolding of awakening as we learn to let life guide us.

  • Have I Lost My Spiritual Awakening? How to find trust and inspiration when discouraged 

    In this video Jon Bernie reassures that spiritual regression is an illusion — once you’ve glimpsed truth, it’s never lost, only temporarily obscured. Growth often feels difficult, but it’s part of the natural unfolding, like a rosebud opening; true healing comes from embracing emotions, trusting yourself, and staying present with your inner experience.

  • Allow All Of You

    Jon Bernie emphasizes that unconditional love and self-acceptance are essential for spiritual growth. True healing comes from embracing our humanity, trusting ourselves, and being present, rather than trying to escape discomfort.
