Living Awake: Foundations
Practical Enlightenment for Real Life
A Free, Online Course with Ernest Morrow
Essential spiritual tools for anyone who wants spirituality to really make a difference.
Have you ever found yourself in the middle of a spiritual gathering or ritual or practice and looked around and wondered, “what is the point?”
Have you ever looked at someone who is deeply involved in “spirituality” and wondered why they seem so judgmental and unhappy?
Or have you looked at the Dalai Lama or Eckhart Tolle, who actually do seem pretty peaceful, and wondered if the only way to really feel close to God is if you leave your family and meditate all day?
I have.
And I talk to more and more people who have had a very similar experience.
So many of us long for a spiritual approach to life that actually connects with what we are already doing.
Most people I meet are not called to be monks or nuns or live in an ashram.
Most of us have families and jobs and bills and bodies and cell phones.
And, yet, even though we are living in this crazy, fast-paced world, our hearts still long to engage with a dimension of Life that is bigger and deeper and holds us in love. We are still spiritual beings but we really want spirituality to matter in our lives. We still long to wake up to the truth of who we are and express that into our lives.
-
We want a spirituality that actually makes it easier to give and receive love in the real world.
-
We want a spirituality that actually helps us heal the ways humans hurt each other and the Earth.
-
We want a spirituality that actually gives us tools we can use to make decisions and navigate this complex life.
-
We want a spirituality that gives us a direct experience of Truth rather than just stories about someone else’s.
Welcome to Living Awake: A course for practical spirituality.
My name is Ernest Morrow. I am living, breathing proof that the joy of being a human being is not about resolving the drama of living in space and time.
My life, like yours, is filled with complications and challenges and heartbreak. Yet I have discovered that there are really practical ways to find peace and well-being and feel fully alive in the midst of all of it.
I have spent the last 20 years studying, practicing, and experimenting with what spiritual awakening really is and how to invite others into a direct experience of truth. This is my absolute passion.
Living Awake: Foundations is a FREE 4 module online course that teaches the essential spiritual tools for those of us who want spirituality to really make a difference in our experience of being alive.
Module One: Embodied Presence
Our bodies are the #1 overlooked and misunderstood tool for spiritual awakening. Learning to connect with your body intentionally is absolutely foundational for Living Awake. When you learn and begin to master your relationship with the body everything gets far more accessible and simple. In this module I teach a practice for embodied presence that will take you as deep as you ever need to go.
Module Two: The Language of Your Life
Your life is speaking to you. All. The. Time. Embedded in your direct experience are the whispers of where to go and what to do next. Learning to listen to our life and the information it is trying to tell us is essential for Living Awake; it contains guidance and intelligence that we can learn nowhere else. I will help you unlock the secrets to listening and responding to the wisdom hidden in each experience you have.
Module Three: Emotional Mastery
As humans we are primarily oriented to our emotional experience as we navigate our lives. Almost all of what you have learned to do is designed to promote positive emotions and avoid negative emotions. The freedom of Living Awake, however, requires an emotional mastery that isn’t about managing your emotions but in learning to feel them completely without losing your center. I’ll share with you the simple, powerful practice that will allow you to experience increasing freedom and richness in your life.
Module Four: Living Awake
Once you are on the road to emotional mastery you begin to cultivate your creative, expansive self-expression. With the freedom to act and choose you must learn to direct your attention and energy to take us to the intersection of your great joy and the world’s deep need. I’ll introduce you to the techniques and practices that will teach you how to find and stay on the path to your deepest self-expression.
I designed Living Awake: Foundations to be a free, easily accessible on-ramp to spiritual awakening and also a tremendous support to those who have been on the path a long time.
I want to get this information and these practices into your hands and the hands of as many people as possible. These tools will help you go about your ordinary life – working, shopping, voting, and socializing – with a deeper connection to truth and well-being. And that will benefit us all.
This course might be for you if:
-
You are tired of heady, intellectual explanations and want to directly experience truth
-
You know that spirituality is important but just can’t connect with a particular path or spiritual tradition
-
You have practiced on your own or within your tradition for a long time and have reached a plateau
-
You are looking for spiritual practices and teaching that will improve your life as soon as you start to do them.
