For an online retreat, Gina Lake was interviewed on video by Grace Bubeck about healing and awakening. You can watch this 1-hour interview by going to the video page on radicalhappiness.com. It's the second interview from the top of the page.
SOME NOTES ABOUT HEALING AND AWAKENING
? Awakening is due to grace, and whether someone awakens and when is up to grace. Not everyone is meant to awaken, and those who are meant to awaken will awaken when it is the right time for them.
? Having said that, it is also true that those who are destined to awaken are usually called to the spiritual path and called to do spiritual practices and attend to their own healing. The will to do these things comes when it is time to awaken, and you can?t make that will be there when it isn?t. This will is often intensified by the suffering caused by difficulties experienced in early childhood or some loss later on.
? Whether you awaken or not is not as important as how you are in every moment. Whether you have had an awakening or not, you can experience awakeness by simply learning to be present. Presence is awakeness. The more moments we spend in Presence/Awakeness, the more that prepares the ground for awakening. So if there is anything we can do to awaken it is that: Be present as much as possible. And then if you don?t awaken, it won?t matter!
