Program Description: "Awakeness is so close to us-it would take people's breath away if they knew how near they constantly were to being awake, regardless of what their lives look like." With these words, Jan Frazier takes you to the edge of that moment when you, too, can awaken to who you really are. It happened to her in an instant when her fears simply dissolved, and she was left with the pure, present awareness of an enlightened mind. From that deep place of understanding she explains how you, too, can slip beneath the veil of the illusions of your busy, noisy life, remember the "you" who is unattached to the highs and lows of yesterday and tomorrow, and become ready for that moment of your own awakening. As Ms. Frazier tells us, "Even for a person who very much wants to wake up, the real truth is they're not in control of it. We can only ready ourselves. And when the moment of blessing comes, it just seems to come." So be still, listen to the clues she has to offer, and be ready. Your moment may be just a breath away. (Hosted by Justine Willis Toms)
