Awakening
What is Spiritual Awakening? | The Ultimate Guide
Awakening. It’s a big term, one that encompasses a lot of spiritual arenas, and it’s mired in false definitions and proclamations. So I feel compelled to shine some light and clarity on what is spiritual awakening. This is a definitive guide to spiritual awakening. I have been in a unique position to work one-on-one with…

Kiran describes this as a tool for energetic “tune-up.” This tool provides energetic support to your own integrity, regardless of the field you are in and regardless of the collective energy. We can use it for: Even though this “Grounding and Shielding” technique can be helpful, it is important to remember we are not separate…

In this talk, Kiran speaks about the conversation nobody is having around sex. Recorded at the 2018 Science and Non-Duality conference in San Jose, CA.
Read MoreSpiritual Awakening versus Super Special People
So I’ve been getting these little notes lately, about a spiritual teacher who is accused of creating a cult-like environment for their students. People who are clearly on the path of conscious spiritual awakening are sending me links to articles about this and want to know what I think… The first thing I notice is…
Read MoreWhat is Self-Realization? And How to Navigate One
If you’re looking to learn what self-realization is, I find it likely that you are somewhere along the path of developing self-awareness. Maybe you’re wondering whether you’ve had, or having one right now. And although the process of what is self-realization is fairly documented, very little guidance exists on some of the really challenging parts…
Read MoreFreedom is Possible
I spent some time recently with some very lovely, aware folks. These are friends that have a huge capacity for stillness. And we got into some really nice, deep topics of conversation. One of the things we explored was the tendency in both teachers and students to “hold onto” stillness. Once somebody makes contact with…
Read MoreUncover Your Life’s Purpose
A question often comes up at Satsang. It goes like this: I don’t feel like doing anything anymore. I can’t find any motivation. I’m just going through the motions of my work, but I don’t have any real motivation for it. How do I find purpose? This question often arises after a genuine connection with…
Read MoreCan you see the future?
Question: Can you see the future? I feel intensely curious about it. I think there is something about wanting to know that is just an integral part of the human being… wanting to know what’s on the horizon… Answer: Sometimes I can, but it’s not something solid I can offer you. Because in reality,…
Read MoreA traveler’s guide though original nature
This is Part Two of the conversation we featured last week. As with Part One, this conversation will seem very abstract when viewed from a “me-based” personality. Now, I don’t want to isolate anyone. I am usually a profoundly practical gal, very focused on teaching you how to get to peace in this one present…
Read MoreWhat you need to know in the aftermath of a real awakening.
It’s so fascinating to notice how different life is after a genuine recognition of our True Nature. All of us spend a majority of our early lives lived through the interpretations of our mind. Our minds are largely fear-based, and have very distinct filters that block true clarity. Some of us get a glimpse of…
Read MoreAversion, Delusion and Enlightenment
How do the enlightened masters suppress all desire, aversion, and delusion, when these are part of all humans? This is a great question. A lot of people get confused with this. Suppression, for the most part, is not going to happen. That effort would require a ‘Mego’ or ego. Enlightened people, masters or not, don’t…
Read MoreThere is a reason to stop holding your breath
So there is a delicious rhythm called ease, which some might even recognize as happiness, or joy. It feels very soft and spacious, yet somehow grounded. It’s the opposite rhythm of how most of us live: with effort. And my goodness, there are a lot of teachers and coaches that go on and on and…
Read MoreThe perfection of the morning
There is a quiet space in the morning that I love. My home sits on a low mountain ridge, and there are all kinds of birds that make their homes in the trees that surround my house. In the very early morning, their waking calls and busyness create a sudden contrast to the relative stillness…
Read MoreIf it’s all glory and bliss, why do I feel like crap?
A couple of weeks ago on the blog I talked about distortion, and how dangerous it can be. In that post, there was another obvious point that I want to focus on today. In that post I was referencing an article that was trying to give expression to an experience I think most of us…
