I’m thrilled to share the latest episode of the Endless Possibilities podcast with you. This time, I had the pleasure of diving deep into the world of non-duality with the incredible Lisa Cairns. Her journey and insights are nothing short of transformative, and I can’t wait for you to hear all about it.
🌟 Lisa’s Awakening in Bali
A Life-Changing Moment: Lisa’s journey into non-duality began with a profound awakening experience in Bali in 2011. Imagine enjoying banana fritters with ice cream and suddenly feeling a transformative shift in your understanding of life and consciousness!
🌟 The Nature of Suffering
Confronting Suffering: Lisa emphasizes that true understanding comes from recognizing the transient nature of pleasure and the necessity of confronting suffering. It’s a deep dive into why we seek happiness in external circumstances and how to find true fulfillment within.
🌟 The Role of the Body in Awakening
Stored Trauma: We discussed how trauma is often stored in the body and how becoming aware of this can lead to profound healing. Lisa shares her experiences of transitioning from identifying with her thoughts to witnessing them, revealing emotional and energetic pain that needs to be confronted.
🌟 The Process of Awakening
Series of Shifts: Lisa explains that awakening is not a singular event but a series of shifts over time. She describes moments of falling in love with life and the beauty of existence, leading to a collapse of the subject-object distinction.
🌟 Unique Paths to Awakening
Personal Journeys: We explored how each individual’s path to awakening is unique. Whether through significant life events or consistent practice, the journey is deeply personal and unfolds in its own time.
🌟 Connecting with Lisa
Stay Connected: Lisa engages with her audience through a weekly live stream on YouTube. You can find links to her YouTube channel, website, and social media in the episode description.
