    True Meditation: Bill Free Interviews Jody Agard on the Infinite I AM & Awakening

    What if meditation isn't about becoming calmer, better, more spiritual, or more enlightened? In this special episode of The Awareness Podcast, the tables are turned as Center for Awakening founder Bill Free interviews host Jody Agard about her upcoming four-part series, True Meditation: The Recognition of the Infinite I AM. Together, they explore one of the most transformative questions on the spiritual path: Who is the one trying to meditate? Drawing from non-duality, self-inquiry, and direct experience, Jody shares how years of seeking, striving, fixing, and trying to improve herself eventually gave way to a much simpler recognition: what we are seeking has never been absent. True meditation is not about achieving a future state. It is the recognition of what we already are. In this conversation, Bill and Jody explore: ✨ The difference between traditional meditation and true meditation ✨ Why awakening is not about fixing the separate self ✨ The meaning of the Infinite I AM ✨ How to recognize awareness in everyday life ✨ What to do when fear, triggers, anxiety, or difficult emotions arise ✨ Why thoughts do not need to stop for peace to be present ✨ The role of self-inquiry in spiritual awakening ✨ Living from Pure Being while navigating ordinary life ✨ Why nothing has gone wrong, even when you feel disconnected One of the most powerful insights shared in this conversation is the recognition that the Infinite I AM never leaves. Even when we feel triggered, distracted, fearful, or caught in old patterns, the Infinite I AM remains exactly where it has always been, here, now, untouched and available. As Jody shares, "We're not looking for the I AM. We're looking from the I AM." If you've ever struggled with meditation, wondered why spiritual seeking can feel exhausting, or sensed there must be something deeper than self-improvement, this conversation offers a refreshing and practical invitation into a more direct experience of peace, awareness, and your true nature.  👉🏼 Interested in going deeper? In her new four-part live series, Jody Agard offers a radically different approach: meditation isn’t about controlling your experience, but discovering the awareness that’s already here. Through self-inquiry, guided meditation, and practical exploration, you’ll discover how to relate to your thoughts with less struggle, experience greater ease and clarity, and carry that grounded awareness into relationships, decisions, and daily challenges. ➡️ Click here to learn more and reserve your spot.

    Nothing Is Missing: A Guided Meditation Beyond the Need to Become

    What if there is nothing missing from you, and there never has been? So much of life is spent trying to become someone: healthier, happier, more peaceful, more spiritual, more healed, perhaps even more awakened.  Yet beneath this endless movement of self-improvement and spiritual seeking is a simple question: Who is the “I” that believes something is missing? In this spacious guided meditation, Jody Agard invites you beyond the story of the personal self and into the direct recognition of your true nature; the timeless awareness, Pure Being, and Infinite I AM that has never been incomplete. Through gentle self-inquiry, extended silence, and non-dual contemplation, you'll explore what remains before thought, memory, identity, and the familiar story of “me.” This isn't about achieving a special meditative state or becoming a better version of yourself. It's an invitation to recognize what has never been absent. There is no enlightened identity to maintain. No perfected self waiting somewhere in the future. No spiritual finish line you need to reach. Only this. Being. Presence. The Infinite I AM. And from this recognition, ordinary life continues; meals are prepared, conversations happen, joy and sadness arise but what you truly are remains free. ✨ Another Way to Go Deeper... Sometimes the deepest spiritual truths reveal themselves in a new light through different voices. In this unique four-part series, AWAKENING THROUGH THE DIRECT PATH + A COURSE IN MIRACLES, host Bill Free welcomes Lisa Natoli, Oliver Blue, Jon Mundy, and Keith Kavanagh — each sharing their own distinctive approach to the timeless principles at the heart of awakening and how they naturally come alive in everyday life. Through inspiring teachings, meaningful dialogue, and wisdom born of lived experience, you'll gain practical tools for meeting life's challenges with greater clarity, peace, and freedom.   👉🏼 Click here to learn more and reserve your spot.

    Human Being, Not Human Doing: A Guided Meditation into Pure Being

    What if peace isn't something you have to achieve? What if the constant pressure to become more, fix yourself, heal faster, or finally "arrive" has been pointing in the wrong direction all along? In this gentle guided meditation, Jody Agard invites you to step out of the endless cycle of doing and rediscover the quiet Being that has always been here. Through spacious silence, gentle self-inquiry, and the direct recognition of I AM, you'll be guided beyond thought, memory, and identity into the changeless presence that is your true nature.

Whether you're feeling overwhelmed, constantly busy, searching for healing, or simply longing for deeper peace, this meditation offers a compassionate invitation to stop striving and rest as what has always been here.

    The Alive Stillness Within: A Guided Meditation Beyond Overthinking & Stress

    Have you ever noticed how quickly the mind begins searching? Searching for answers. Searching for certainty. Searching for the next thing to accomplish. Searching for the version of life that promises peace. In this gentle guided meditation, Jody Agard shares a simple moment from an ordinary Sunday that became a profound reminder of something we often overlook: while thoughts, emotions, plans, and circumstances are constantly changing, there is an alive stillness within us that never moves. Through gentle self-inquiry and spacious silence, this non-dual guided meditation invites you to step out of the endless search and rest as the peaceful presence that has always been here. Whether you're navigating stress, anxiety, a busy schedule, emotional overwhelm, or simply a mind that never seems to stop planning, this meditation offers an invitation to discover that what you've been seeking has never been missing.

    Symptoms Are Not the Self: A Guided Meditation for True Healing & Inner Peace

    When physical symptoms arise, the mind often rushes to create a story, about what's wrong, what needs to be fixed, and how life should be different. In this gentle guided meditation, Jody Agard invites you to discover a radically different approach to healing. Rather than resisting discomfort or trying to become a better version of yourself, you'll be guided to rest as the timeless awareness that remains untouched by every sensation, symptom, thought, and emotion. Drawing from non-dual wisdom, self-inquiry, and the recognition of I AM, this meditation offers a peaceful space to meet physical pain, chronic illness, stress, anxiety, fatigue, and emotional discomfort with openness instead of resistance. Whether you're navigating chronic pain, illness, emotional overwhelm, anxiety, grief, or simply the challenges of everyday life, this meditation is an invitation to remember that what you truly are has never been harmed. Healing isn't becoming someone new. It's recognizing what has always been here. ✨ Another Way to Go Deeper...

    The Resting Place Within: A Guided Meditation Beyond Thoughts & Suffering

    What if healing wasn't about fixing your thoughts, changing your emotions, or solving every problem in your life? In this gentle guided meditation, Jody Agard invites you into the quiet resting place that is already here, the aware presence that remains untouched by thoughts, emotions, discomfort, and changing circumstances. From a non-dual perspective, suffering isn't caused by experience itself, but by identifying with the stories the mind creates around experience.  Together, we'll gently step back from the impulse to become the one who is struggling and instead rest as the silent awareness in which every thought, sensation, and emotion naturally appears and disappears. Throughout this meditation you'll be guided to recognize: The quiet awareness that remains unchanged beneath every experienceWhy healing isn't fixing the mind or body, but recognizing your true natureA simple non-dual approach to inner peace, self-inquiry, and awakeningWhether you're experiencing anxiety, emotional overwhelm, physical discomfort, grief, or simply the busyness of everyday life, this meditation offers an invitation to discover the stillness that has always been here.

    The Light of What You Are: A Guided Meditation for True Healing & Inner Peace

    What if true healing wasn't about changing your circumstances? What if peace wasn't dependent on the body feeling better? In this deeply restorative guided meditation, Jody Agard reflects on a season of physical pain and healing, revealing a profound truth remembered in the midst of discomfort: The body changes. Thoughts change. Emotions change. But the light of what you are never changes. Through gentle self-inquiry, non-dual meditation, and extended moments of silence, you'll be invited to rest as the awareness that remains present before every thought, every sensation, and every story the mind tells. Whether you're navigating illness, chronic pain, emotional suffering, anxiety, grief, or simply feeling overwhelmed by life's circumstances, this meditation offers an invitation to recognize what has always been here:  The Light of What You Are. Whole. Complete. Present. Unchanged. Nothing needs to be added. Nothing needs to be earned. Only recognized. ✨ Another way to go deeper… Beneath the noise of the mind, beneath the striving to become someone better, there is a deeper sense of peace and well-being that doesn't depend on circumstances. In her new 4-part series, “Here I Am: The Joy of Being Present,” Lisa Natoli guides a direct exploration into the end of inner struggle and the freedom that comes from no longer believing every story the mind tells. As the pressure to fix, change, and improve yourself begins to soften, what remains is a grounded steadiness, a natural happiness, and a way of living that feels more present, more alive, and more at ease...   👉🏼 Click here to learn more and reserve your spot.

    When Peace Doesn't Depend on Circumstances: A Guided Meditation into Pure Presence

    In this guided meditation, Jody Agard reflects on a recent experience with shingles and the profound reminder it offered: True peace is not the absence of pain, discomfort, uncertainty, or challenge. True peace is what remains regardless of circumstances. While the body may experience illness, discomfort, exhaustion, or healing, there is something deeper that remains completely untouched by every experience. Through gentle self-inquiry, spacious silence, and direct non-dual pointing, this meditation invites you to rest as the awareness that knows all experience but is never harmed by it. This meditation is especially supportive if you're moving through illness, physical discomfort, grief, emotional challenges, anxiety, uncertainty, or a difficult season of life. As A Course in Miracles reminds us, what you truly are remains exactly as God created you: Whole. Complete. Perfectly innocent. Untouched. You are simply invited to notice what has always been present. ✨ Another way to go deeper… Beneath the noise of the mind, beneath the striving to become someone better, there is a deeper sense of peace and well-being that doesn't depend on circumstances.
