A real-time experiment of using words to express what is beyond words. If love is our nature, how do we live from that?
Listen in as two ordinary people share some insights and challenges of waking up and realizing themselves -- in the middle of ordinary life.
Jonas Oliver and Maeve Jones are Mentors in the Leela School of Awakening. They share a unique reflection from the ground floor of self-discovery, waking up amidst the sleepwalking and distraction of regular life.
Maeve and Jonas have endless thanks for their teachers Eli Jaxon-Bear, Lisa Schumacher, and Jared Franks.
Speaking from Silence Episode Episode 20: How can I fix a bad mood?
Have you ever struggled with a bad mood? Ever felt like you’re in a pit of despair, and wanted to change it?
Often we search to improve a bad mood. But what would it be like if you didn’t have to do that? What if peace was available in the middle of any emotional storm?
If you had to choose between being joyful every moment of every day, or being at peace with what’s arising, what would you choose?
Intro music is by Jonas and Maeve's classmate Franz Peters and his band What Matters the Most, song title “Mahaya."

Speaking from Silence Episode Episode 19: Saying yes when you mean no
Do you avoid saying ‘no’? Are you hiding behind ‘yes,’ but you’d rather say ‘no’?
A false ‘yes’ often conceals an unexamined emotional pattern. When half-hearted affirmation shows up, it creates a limitation on yourself. It is an expression of ego.
What would you have to put down to tell the truth?
Today we invite you to examine your invisible reasons for giving a false yes. Then, we invite you to be wholehearted and honest instead.

Speaking from Silence Episode Episode 18: The Trap of Freedom
What’s the difference between knowing about awakening, and being awake?How much do we need to know about freedom, to be truly free?
We have many words for spiritual concepts, such as peace, enlightenment, or freedom. It’s tempting to think about these ideas as a way to deepen in ourselves.
However, when are speaking about being awake, any concept is a trap. Being awake is an experience without words, bigger than thought or definition.
So how can you truly discern when you’re trapped in an idea of freedom, versus when you are actually free? How can we transcend all concepts? Spoiler: it’s simpler than you think.
