Hidden treasure
I’ve listened to and read many spiritual teachers. Jon Bernie is the real thing. He’s compassionate, loving and he speaks truth. He has no agenda other than helping guide you towards your own truth and happiness.
The Kindest, Most Authentic, Most Loving Podcast
Full disclosure: Jon is my uncle. One morning-- this morning-- I woke up with terrible anxiety. I am in the middle of a divorce and the stress has made me grabby for answers and solutions. This morning, I listened to Jon and chose to let go. To sit with myself. To love. To relax. I felt my anxiety melt away as he spoke and breathed. It had a profound impact on my heart, and I felt a great emotional release. I look forward to listening to more and I cannot recommend this podcast highly enough.
The Best...
