Inner Alignment Eric Cook

In this episode I will read for us an essay I wrote on the nature of striving for higher living. It is a process where we often feel that we are working against the current of life. This is something that could last a lifetime. But what if there was a way that the virtues found in spirituality simply became effortless? Well, they can because they are our inherent divine nature. And there is a process for this. Tune in to find out how to return to the waters of the divine shore!

This episode of Inner Alignment is the first of a small series on the topic of morning practices. I'll show you a few reasons why having a morning practice is so important and that it is not only the foundation of your day, but your continuing steps to the rest of your life. Join me in this fun little episode as I share with you some tips on being fully human and fully divine!

This episode of Inner Alignment is a short Buddhist study on the Four Immeasurables. It'll give you a nice little background on what this is, provide you with a helpful practice, and of course a few tidbits of inspiration!

In this episode we visit the technique of surrender and letting go. Often we encounter difficult situations in our lives through which we no longer have control. The techniques discussed in this podcast encompass the final steps to surrender and letting go. In practicing this technique one truly can end a difficult chapter and start a new one with grace, healing, and love.

This mini episode is a short response to fear and suffering. This episode was born of a burst of inspiration to a friend who approached me for help when facing a scary change in their life. Though these words are very basic building blocks for making the first steps for going within, they are simple but necessary maxims to remember, as even the seasoned spiritual aspirant can experience a debasing challenge.

For a first episode I thought I'd share a little gem I've found in my own practice as a spiritual seeker. That gem is learning through being. We mostly utilize the scrutinous cognitive faculties of the mind for learning important things but in this short lesson we will take a step back from that and a step deeper into the energy field of our own being. In being we can be more receptive to ultimate truths and ultimately become one with Truth.
