Embodied Awareness Podcast: Recent Episodes
Jon Bernie
It’s pretty funny, if you think about it… we walk around assuming we’re the ones doing everything – pumping our own blood, digesting our own food, even breathing on purpose. This episode takes a playful, honest look at how much of what we call “control” is actually just habit, and what opens up when you step back and ask who’s really running the show. Not to figure it out, just to notice. Jon Bernie guides a return to the natural ease that’s here the moment you stop gripping the wheel. Recorded August 1st, 2026.
The post Who’s Actually Doing This? appeared first on Inspired Aliveness.
Distraction is everywhere, and the pull to escape what’s here has never been stronger. But what if the only thing required is to notice? In this episode, Jon explores how the simple act of becoming aware, of whatever is arising, is itself the return to presence. Nothing needs to be fixed or resolved. Just notice, and see what happens. Recorded June 6th, 2026.

It’s easy to fall into the habit of trying to get somewhere, to shift what’s here into something better.

Recorded March 21st, 2026.

Recorded September 27th, 2025.

The post The Journey of You appeared first on Inspired Aliveness.
When the world feels especially loud, it’s easy to lose touch with what’s quietly unfolding within.

This episode of Inspired Aliveness is an invitation to stay present with whatever is showing up in your experience – without needing to fix it, change it, or hold yourself together.

The post Letting Yourself Cook appeared first on Inspired Aliveness.
What if practice didn’t require striving or control? In this episode, we explore the deeper truth that real transformation happens not through force, but through ongoing presence.

Just the quiet power of being here. Recorded April 5th, 2025.

The post A Glimpse of Light appeared first on Inspired Aliveness.
True practice isn’t about forcing change – it’s about allowing what is.

True surrender is enlivening. It’s energizing. It’s empowering. Because you’re letting go of being who you think you are, as awareness slowly, over time, becomes more embodied in your tissue, in your mind, in your heart. That’s the purpose of our life from awakening on. Recorded 12/4/2021 in San Francisco.

Awakening is the beginning of understanding what practice is.

Keep your mind open and free of any conclusions.

And all […]

The secret way to freedom is to allow yourself to become intimate with the unconscious struggle that is programmed into you.

You really do have to like a good challenge for this journey, this exploration, this discovery; because it is challenging. Doesn’t it force you to face what you didn’t want to feel? What you didn’t want to be aware of? What you didn’t want to have to look at, or let go of? Recorded 12/7/2019 […]

To receive the truth, you must become empty.

Being present in the moment is almost a thing of the past. For healing, we have to reclaim the parts of ourselves that we’ve cut off. This healing is just a natural re-balancing of the nervous system. It isn’t about getting rid of a condition. It’s a kind of balancing where you are in harmony, […]

If you’re aware of awareness, it’s like being in a beautiful breeze at the ocean. You just let it in, let it waft through you. Wonderful.
