In this ACIM Satsang, Jenny Maria and Barret guide a deep exploration of prayer, forgiveness and the healing power of miracles. Sharing from the section Beyond Perception in A Course in Miracles, Jenny Maria explores how prayer opens the way for miracles and how true healing comes through aligning the mind with the Holy Spirit.

Jenny Maria reminds us that prayer is the medium of miracles — the living communication between the created and the Creator — and that the only truly meaningful prayer is for forgiveness. Those who accept forgiveness recognise that they already have everything.

It is for us to remember to use the mind in the right way. Rather than relying on personal interpretation, we learn to offer the mind to Spirit, allowing miracles to replace judgment and restore right-minded perception.

One of the participants shares about a strong judgment she has toward someone in her prayer circle. Jenny Maria shares that on her own journey, many “provocative” and “challenging” characters appeared, and these relationships became classrooms for forgiveness and healing. Any time there is a challenging encounter, it reveals to us what is ready to be released and offers an opportunity for us to shift our painful perception.

Another participant expresses about the fear of love — the difficulty of truly receiving it and allowing it in. Jenny Maria points to the deeper teaching that the world itself is the manifestation of the belief in the loss of love. The path, she shares, is one of emotional healing, where feelings must be allowed to rise so they can be seen with acceptance, and in that light they dissolve.

Returning to the miracle principles, Jenny Maria reminds us that miracles reawaken awareness that the Spirit — not the body — is the altar of Truth. Healing comes as we shift identification from form to Spirit and allow miracles to shift our perception.

The Satsang closes in a meditative prayer, resting in the shared purpose of forgiveness and healing — opening the mind to the miracle that is always there!

What if the very Guide sent to free you is the One you secretly distrust? In this revealing ACIM Satsang, Barret De La Luz explores the inner conflict around trusting the Holy Spirit — and why awakening can feel so challenging because of it.

You can also watch this Satsang on our Youtube channel: Jenny Maria & Barret’s YouTube Channel

Drawing from a passage in A Course in Miracles, Barret looks at the uncomfortable idea that we “think the loss of sin is a curse.” While we say we want freedom, something in us resists the message that we are completely innocent. Beneath that resistance is a distorted image of the Holy Spirit — a subtle suspicion that Guidance may not truly have our best interests at heart.

At the same time, the ego presents itself as a loyal friend, promising protection and control, yet repeatedly leading us into suffering. Part of awakening is unmasking both illusions: the false image we place on the Holy Spirit, and the ego’s false friendliness.

Barret reminds us that trust grows through experience. We are not asked to trust far — just to take the next obvious step. Each small willingness eases fear and strengthens confidence in the Spirit's Guidance.

In a helpful exchange with a participant, Barret encourages balance on the healing path — allowing emotions to surface, but not becoming fixated on the shadow. This is not meant to be a grueling journey through darkness. Joy is essential to remembering on the path to Home.

The Satsang closes with the powerful declaration from ACIM Lesson 216:  “I am not a body. I am free. For I am still as God created me.”

The A Course in Miracles text reading is from Chapter 25. VIII. Justice Returned to Love.

In this beautiful session, Jenny Maria and Barret De La Luz offer helpful commentary on two different YouTube videos: a touching documentary centered on care for animals and the planet, and a stand-up comedy skit that playfully questions the idea of “saving the planet.” Placed side by side, the contrast becomes an opportunity to question and release the concepts we still hold in the mind around these topics.

The session points to a deeper recognition—that there is nothing outside the mind, and no external problem to solve. What matters is the willingness to pass by all concepts and return to the still place in the mind where peace is already present.

The session concludes with an inspired reading from A Course in Miracles, Chapter 18, Section VI: Beyond the Body, bringing the focus back to what lies beyond perception and our mistaken beliefs about the body.

"Heaven is not a place nor a condition. It is merely an awareness of perfect Oneness, and the knowledge that there is nothing else; nothing outside this Oneness, and nothing else within." - ACIM

Jenny Maria and Barret De La Luz open this ACIM Satsang with a prayer, dedicating the time to Holy Spirit. Jenny Maria then guides us through A Course in Miracles, Lesson 158: “Today I learn to give as I receive,” opening into an exploration of forgiveness, vision, and how we see ourselves through our brothers.

You can also watch this Satsang on our Youtube channel: Jenny Maria & Barret’s YouTube Channel

A Course in Miracles Lesson 158 invites us into the recognition that revelation cannot be taught, only revealed, and that time itself is an illusion. The journey is already complete, yet forgiveness is needed as we seem to look back on what has gone by, allowing the illusion itself to gently dissolve.

The beginning part of this session highlights the difference between experience and vision. Experience cannot be given, but vision can. Christ’s vision looks beyond bodies, beyond personal identity, beyond stories of birth and death, and beholds only the light in the Son of God.

The teaching comes alive through sharing around fear, control, and the experiences of power struggle within relationships. Jenny Maria points to the subtle moment where a power struggle truly begins — the thought “I don’t want to give in.” From here, surrender is re-framed not as giving something up or losing anything, but as strength. What once seemed necessary no longer serves, and now surrender will serve.

A participant later shares gratitude for the openness of the sharing and the clarity of the response, recognising how deeply supportive and illuminating the exchange was. Throughout this ACIM Satsang, we are reminded that each encounter is a holy encounter, and that learning to give as we receive is the joyful path back to peace.

Jenny Maria opens the gathering with The Special Function from A Course in Miracles.
The Holy Spirit is so close we cannot fail. We’re safe in HIs hands and can let go of the image we made and the beliefs we have of ourselves. All we have to remember is that our mind is part of God and therefore we’re holy.
Don’t follow anything the ego says and trust that you have a special function: forgiveness.

In this morning session the two communities from Awaken to Love in Spain and South Africa join online.

Today’s lesson is a beautiful reminder that we can always change our minds about what we perceive. Whenever we experience distress, we are looking at the world through an ego filter. Whenever something arises that doesn’t feel peaceful or loving, we can remind ourselves, “There is another way of looking at this.” How simple it is to change our minds! We can set the goal of peace in everything we do.
 
A Course in Miracles, Lesson 33 - There is another way of looking at the world.

Enjoy this uplifting lesson with Jenny Maria at Awaken to Love. 💜

In this ACIM Satsang, Jenny Maria and Barret open with the happy reminder that we are not bodies — that what we truly are is far beyond the limits we have learned to identify with. The body is described as a kind of fence, a construct that seems to contain us, yet can never define the glorious, limitless Self God created. This sets the stage for a deep exploration of A Course in Miracles Lesson 268, “Let all things be exactly as they are.”

You can also watch this Satsang on our Youtube channel: Jenny Maria & Barret’s YouTube Channel

Together, we are invited into the practice of non-interference: releasing the need to fix, change, or judge appearances — including our own body and personal circumstances. Jenny Maria speaks about how the mind often makes excuses, telling us our situation is too difficult, too unique, or somehow impossible to heal. But these thoughts are exposed as defenses against the power we truly have to change our minds.

There is also a beautiful reflection on how quickly we assume something has gone wrong. Instead, Lesson 268 calls us to pause and question that interpretation. A touching story about a brief but profound encounter with a homeless woman becomes a living example of looking past appearances and joining heart-to-heart, without labels or conclusions.

The teachings deepen when Jenny asks, “What would we defend if we were not identified with the body? This opens into an undoing of identification with the body and the realization that without defensiveness there would be absolute invulnerability.

The gathering closes with heartfelt participant sharing, where personal emotions and patterns are brought into the light with honesty and willingness — demonstrating how this practice of non-judgment and allowance supports deep healing in relationship and within the mind.

Today we are invited to look with Spirit at everything in our life and in our mind. It’s only what is disowned and not accepted, that is projected. We can practice to see what we want to recognize, which is God in all things. Then we’re not keeping what we see separate from us, but allowing ourselves to join with it.
