Listen Later

Heidi interviews Rev. Dr. Jane Simmons, the author of the book, You Can't Sleep Through Your Awakening: a combination of personal memoir, shared stories, psychological study, scientific learning, and spiritual discourse.

Rev. Dr. Jane Simmons holds a doctoral degree in Theology from Holos University Graduate Seminary and is an ordained Unity minister. Since her ordination in 1999, Jane has ministered in four Unity churches in Canada and the United States as well as serving as the Teen Ministry Coordinator for Unity Worldwide Ministries. She is the 2020 recipient of Unity's Light of God Expressing Award. She has served as an associate professor at Holos University and is currently a member of adjunct faculty for Unity Worldwide Spiritual Institute, teaching credit classes in a virtual online format.

  Jane is a co-founder of The Art of Quantum Living, with its transformational 21-day practice called The Quantum Living Process: which weaves together the latest research emerging from neurobiology, developmental psychology, and quantum science with the wisdom of the world's mystical traditions to offer a powerful path to personal evolution. She is also a powerful speaker, writer, workshop facilitator, trainer, and educator with a focus on virtual online learning. With a passion for heart-centered transformation, Jane is committed to helping bring forth a kinder, more compassionate world. As a facilitator for the Alternatives to Violence Project, Jane has worked in communities, schools, and prisons, assisting others in developing skills to manage conflict in order to help bring about a world that works for all. In this episode, we discuss:
  • How polarized "us and them" thinking as a culture is also something that can also take place internally within each of us. 
  • Learning to trust yourself through the power of loving-kindness and self-compassion opens the door to greater connection and healing for generations to come. 
  • Mining the wisdom of the body- Our bodies hold wisdom and have a memory that can provide us clues about what may be going on for us emotionally. 
  • How anxiety can show up as a vibration in the body and understanding how anxiety happens within the body and nervous system specifically.
  • How we can come together to do the greater work of healing the world through our own individual awakening. So we can begin to hospice old outdated aspects of our present culture while midwifing a new kinder more compassionate world starting with ourselves.
