A questioner asks if enjoying sex, smoking and eating junk food is aligned with the path of spiritual awakening or if it comes from a distortion of the pleasure seeking mind.

Any attempt to be a 'spiritual person' by behaving and speaking a certain way, wearing certain types of clothes, eating a certain diet etc is simply the conceptual self trying to uphold a desired self image. When all self images fall away, including the 'spiritual' self image, what remains is actually the unknown. It is out of the unknown of the present moment that aligned expression arises. So, in order to know what is reallly true for you in any given moment you must first be fully present. Discernment and radical honesty are also required because the conceptual self can have sneaky methods of convincingly justifying distorted behaviors. Ultimately, only you know what is really true for you in any given moment and taking full responsibility for that knowing is in itself part of the maturing process on the spiritual path. This is a clip from the open Zoom meeting on February 18th, 2024.

A questioner talks about her 'dark night of the soul' experience and having her third eye open, and asks how to speed up spiritual awakening. Louise offers a simple practice for sustaining living in the present moment. Join Louise Kay for a weekly live guided meditation followed by Q&A on Zoom (by donation).

If a thought arises which says, 'I want to speed up my awakening' or 'I want to be more present' or 'I want to get enlightened' and that thought is identified with, it projects one's attention into an imaginary future where there will be a moment that is better or more spiritual than this moment right now and a 'self' which is more enhanced. Whenever thoughts of this nature arise, stay as the aware witness which perceives the thoughts arising. Don't identify with any mental desire, but keep your attention fully present in the moment. You will notice that the thoughts arise and then simply dissipate. The truth of who you are is not the 'I' that seeks, but the aware witness of both thoughts and desires, and that can only be known in the Now.

What is enlightenment? How to get enlightened? It's not what you might think! In this video Louise explains how enlightenment is not an experience. Many spiritual seekers experience peak spiritual experiences, but these experiences come and then they go. True enlightenment is not any experience, but the moment to moment direct, experiential recognition of that which never comes or goes: the knowing of oneself as the eternal witnesser of the experiences.

In this video Louise Kay explains how through the power of meditation and living in the present moment you can open to your True nature: pure, luminous consciousness. Your nature state is radiant, luminous, pure Being and when you are fully present in the Now this radiance emanates effortlessly. There is no experience or emotion that can affect your nature state, but if a thought which resists any experience or emotion is identified with, suffering is born. If thoughts are simply observed, without being fed attention, peace becomes the constant, natural state. The core recognition which brings the end to suffering is the realization that 'I' refers to the aware witness (pure consciousness) and the 'I' which mental stories revolve around is not only not who I am, but actually does not even exist outside of imagination.

Living in integrity requires an attitude of gentle openness. With curiosity one can contemplate one's own words, actions and behaviors with the intention of living in alignment with the highest Truth. Beating oneself up internally with violent mental dialogues and self-judgements is not a helpful habit and simply creates and perpetuates inner suffering. If you notice this habit occuring don't try to stop it, simply observe it non-reactively. Trying to stop it is another form of inner violence, whereas simply observing it brings more consciousness to it, thereby depleting its power over you.

Desires are a natural part of the human experience and desires themselves don't cause suffering. What does cause suffering is attachment to desires. In order to discover the state of non-attachment one must turn the attention inward, away from external materialism and experiences. Beyond the level of manifest forms lies a deep, still, unchanging, infinite peace... and with a simple shift in the focus of attention from forms to formlessness, lasting fulfilment can be discovered right here in the present moment.

Anxiety is often accompanied by a racing mind. When we develop the capacity to disengage with thoughts and instead focus the attention on the ever-present background stillness, we gain access to an infinite stream of well-being. When the sensations in the body are consciously and gently felt in the present moment, this stream of well-being infuses the whole system and can bring about profound transformation on the level of experience. This is a clip from the open Zoom meeting on March 26th, 2022.

If you bring all your attention fully present into this moment, what is your actual experience of the moment? And who or what is aware of the experience? When no thoughts are present in the moment, what is here? You may answer, "I am here. I am aware." But who or what exactly is that 'I' which is aware? Is it aware of itself? During self-enquiry like this it is very common for the conceptual self (ego) to experience confusion or fear. That is because a shift in identity is taking place, from identification with an imaginary self-image, to identification with the True self (pure consciousness). This confusion or fear doesn't need to be fixed or elimated. By simply resting the attention as the witness of the experience it dissolves and quietens by itself with time. There is in fact no ego to be dissolved. There are only thoughts and unconscious patternings and conditionings acting out. By simply resting the attention as that which is aware and witnessing the present moment, higher consciousness infuses the system and old unconscious structures and imprints unwind and release naturally and effortlessly. It must be noted that the aim is not to reach an end point where the ego has dissolved, but to discover in this moment right now the Truth of who you are beyond the egoic / conceptual self: pure, naked Awareness. This is a clip from the open Zoom meeting on June 18th, 2023.

When you sit in presence and open to the stillness that's here in this moment you may experience a feeling of peace. However, sooner or later, unprocessed emotions and energies that have been lurking under the surface will bubble up to the surface of your experience. This is a good thing! It means that your meditation practice is working. Higher consciousness draws out the unconscious beliefs and conditionings from your system on the level of the mind, physical and also energetic body. This healing and integration process can be an uncomfortable experience, and the discomfort is usually accompanied by a pull to disassociate from the experience. However, this is the moment when you must remain deeply anchored in Being. Don't move. Remain fully present as the witness of the experience, totally and completely allowing the body to feel whatever it feels. When applied with absolute dedication this practice will bring about profound transformation on the level of form and a deep sense of lasting peace and joy.

Our bodies hold unprocessed emotions from painful past experiences that we weren't able to fully process in the moment. These unprocessed emotions are stored in the body as blocked energies and can feel like uncomfortable sensations, such as tightness, contractions and heaviness. If you meditate and practice presence, your system will begin to process these old emotions by bringing them up to the surface so that they can be consciously felt and release. At this point many people give up their practice, thinking that they're doing their meditation wrong. Remember: if you feel discomfort in your meditation then it's working! Follow this simple 5 step formula to heal the past emotions held in your body: 1. Totally disidentify from the story of 'me' and rest your attention as the witness of the experience. Observe any thoughts that appear but do not give any interest in their content. 2. Adopt an attitude of pure positivity. I'm grateful for this experience! 3. Gently enquire into where the emotion / sensation is felt in the body. 4. Consciously allow your body to totally and completely feel the sensation. Surrender FULLY to it. 5. Be unconditional with the process. Don't wait for the emotion to disappear, just hold it in pure unconditional love for as long as it remains and use the experience to deepen into presence.

Conditionings, memories, traumas and beliefs meld together to form a conceptual self identity. When reality is perceived through the filter of this conceptual 'me', a distorted reality is perceived and experienced, which affects how the perceiver reacts to life circumstances and relates to other people, largely creating suffering and chaos. By enquiring into who or what is aware of thoughts and the sense of the individual 'me' it becomes apparent that there is a deeper 'me' beyond any idea, experience or concept. This is pure consciousness. It never moves or changes and its very nature is peace. When reality is perceived from this perspective, problems and suffering fall away and external life effortlessly aligns with the harmonious, abundant nature of the True Self.

Whenever you recognise that the system is triggered, very gently bring all your attention fully present into this moment. Become aware of your body breathing, observe your thoughts, and notice the background stillness. Rest your attention as the witness of the moment and don't give interest to any thought that appears, simply remain still as the neutral witness. Then, with an impersonal attitude of gently curiosity enquire into the experience of the body. How does the body feel right now? What emotions are present? Then take away the labels and look at what the actual sensation in the body feels like. Is it a tightness? A contraction? A heaviness? Where exactly in the body is this sensation? Bring your attention so close to the sensation that you're no longer observing it as an outsider, but one with it, feeling it from within. Totally and completely surrender to the sensation and fully allow the body to feel however it feels, without any agenda to change it, fix it, heal it or get rid of it. This unconditional love and acceptance is the paradoxical key for healing and integration of the emotion. In this video Louise goes on to explain the four different potential outcomes of this practice, and what to do in each scenario. This is a clip from the 7 day Germany retreat on June 6th, 2023.

Many times the mind tries to figure out how to 'do' spiritual awakening. However awakening is not something that can be done. It is the opposite of doing. It is a total and absolute surrender to the Divine. In this surrender the ego structures crack open and unprocessed emotions and energies bubble up to be processed. Still there is nothing to do. All that is required is to remain fully present in the now and allow Grace to transmute darkness into light, unconsciousness into consciousness. This process is akin to sitting in a fire and allowing the conceptual self to burn up in the Fire of Truth. This is a clip from the open Zoom meeting on April 23rd, 2023.

Many people are drawn to the spiritual path as a result of life 'falling apart'. Life stops making sense and amidst the suffering they search for deeper meaning. Others experience life 'falling apart' as a result of spiritual awakening. Regardless of the cause, whenever life 'falls apart', there is a huge opportunity for growth and expansion. Many times the limited mind cannot understand why circumstances are unfolding the way they are, but often there is a bigger picture and the benefit can only be recognized later on. Did you ever argue with reality only to look back later in life and see that that occurance was the best thing that happened? There is a greater intelligence supporting, navigating and guiding our life. When this is understood there is a desire and willingness to surrender one's life to that divine intelligence, and it is with that surrender that peace is found. This is a clip from the open Zoom meeting on May 14th, 2022.

Most people are conditioned to habitually navigate life by perceiving reality through a filter of a conceptual self. This self attempts to control reality in order to minimize suffering and maximize the enhancement of its own sense of conceptual worth (either positive or negative), and this is done by manipulations, strategies, unconscious patternings and coping mechanisms. When the attention is focused in this delusional way it leads to suffering. By becoming aware of the conceptual self and the ways in which it affects one's behaviors it is possible to free oneself from this grip of egoic suffering and discover lasting freedom and peace. The fastest and most effective way to end this suffering is to give up all interest in material forms and experiences and give ALL one's interest to the unseen Divine pure consciousness. This consciousness is not a concept, idea or belief system. It is known through direct experience by the felt sense and in order to know it one must learn how to shift the focus of one's attention. This is done by stopping all effort to DO anything and becoming very still, then enquiring into what is here and aware of being aware in the present moment? That which is aware is not a thought, image, feeling or experience. It never moves or changes. It is eternal, unseen and beyond time and space. When you give all your attention to this, your whole system opens up to allow the Divine itself to penetrate through your being and infuse every aspect of your life with peace and unconditional Love.

Awakening to one's true nature as pure consciousness marks the beginning of a profound healing and integration process. This process involves the release of outdated beliefs and conditionings, as well as unprocessed emotions that are held in the system. When one opens to higher consciousness, anything in the system which is not in alignment with that will bubble up to be processed and released. This is a good thing! It is important to be vigilant with one's practice in order not to fall into the trap of identifying with a mental agenda to perfect the human form. This agenda can appear as a desire to heal or release emotions, energies or contractions from the body and a subtle waiting to reach a point in the future when the process is complete. However, any kind of agenda prevents the healing and integration process from happening because agendas are a form of conceptual identification which block the flow of divine intelligence. The magic ingredient for the most powerful healing to take place effortlessly is total and complete surrender. This means disidentification from all forms, concepts and experiences and the embodiment of a state of pure Being, absolute allowing. This is unconditional love, and ultimately this is what you are.

The body holds unprocessed emotions, energies and traumas from past experiences, which is often referred to as the 'pain body.' These emotions and energies bubble up whenever the system gets triggered, in an attempt to process and heal itself. When there is an understanding of what is happening and how to deal with this, there is the capacity to work together with the system to support it to heal and release these energies. The process can be summed up in 3 simple steps: 1. Bring your attention fully present into the now. 2. Disidentify from the conceptual self. Enquire, 'who or what am I?' This will lead to the recognition that 'I' am Awareness, (not the body, mind or any experience). Don't give attention to or identify with any thought. 3. Consciously feel the sensations in the body, without any agenda, and without labelling the experience or attaching any story to it. Totally and completely accept the experience as it is. The key is UNCONDITIONALITY! This is a clip from the open Zoom meeting on April 2nd, 2023.

True meditation is not limited to a daily formal practice. Of course a daily formal practice can be incredibly beneficial, but for the lover of Truth the practice does not end there. The presence that you embody in your formal practice overflows into every aspect of your life, from eating to listening to working. Every single moment is lived as an embodiment of the highest Truth, and this brings nourishment and flourishing into every aspect of your life.

Life on the external plane is challenging. Whether one recognizes one's true nature beyond the conditioned mind or not, it is inevitable that challenges will appear, whether in the form of relationships, finances, health, natural disasters or something else. If when the challenges appear you struggle and fight against them mentally this creates resistance, which produces negative emotions in the system and leads to suffering. If however, you adopt an attitude of pure positivity, the challenges that life brings can serve as gateways to deepening into presence and bringing you closer to the divine itself.

Whenever fear-based thoughts arise in the mind notice them, but don't feed them with your attention. Giving attention to them energizes them and they multiply. Don't try to get rid of them or change them either. Simply notice them, as a neutral witness. Then slowly shift your attention from focusing on the thoughts to simply resting as that which is aware. Notice the stillness, the underlying presence, the breath moving through your body, the aliveness in your body. Keep your attention focused in this way no matter what.   

With time you will notice a gradual reduction in the number of fear-based thoughts and a new type of thought arising. This new expression of thought will be a direct expression of pure consciousness and thus its content will be aligned with your True nature. These thoughts will be expressions of love, appreciation and gratitude. This expression of consciousness will also infuse your words and actions and your expression in form will become your most authentic expression, free from fear, conditionings and inauthentic masks.

The nature of the world of forms is dualistic. Life is smooth sailing and then challenges arise. Emotions go high and then they go low. Life situations go up and then they go down. Happiness isn't found by becoming a master at manipulating and controlling the external realm of forms in order to maintain an impossible everlasting high.  

 True lasting happiness can only be found by discovering the formlessness which lies beyond the forms. The underlying alive presence of eternal beingness. You can access it right now in this moment by becoming still and resting your attention as that which is aware. 

That which is not an experience. That which never moves or changes. The only thing that is everlasting and constant; pure awareness.

The content of one's mind is primarily dependent upon conditionings and patternings, which are imprinted onto the system at an early age. Regardless of whether the thought patterns that develop and continuously play like a record are positive or negative, they feel familiar to the experiencer. This sense of familiarity can bring with it a distorted sense of comfort and security. In order to transcend identification with the mind one must have the willingness to leave behind this familiarity and surrender into the unknown. 

 With the recognition that there is an aware witness always present, which can observe thoughts without being identified with their content, a sense of freedom arises. This freedom is the discovery of the True self; that which is always here, unmoving, unchanging and unaffected by any thought or experience. Its very nature is peace.  

 In order to directly experience this peace as your True nature, enquire into who or what witnesses thoughts and then focus your attention constantly and consistently on and as that spacious awareness.

Bring your attention fully present into this moment and ask yourself, "can I say YES to whatever is here right now?" Yes to whatever emotions are present in this moment, yes to your life circumstances in this moment, even a yes to any resistance that's here. A total and complete yes to it all. If you can fully say yes to what's here, it is possible to experience peace in this moment.  

Even if this moment is filled with challenges, rather than relating to your experience in a negative way, if you enquire, "what can I learn from this situation?" the challenges too can become gifts to be thankful for, because ultimately every situation contains opportunity for growth.   Surrendering to what is doesn't mean that you no longer need to take action in life. Rather, the action that you take is no longer reactive or ego-driven, but informed by the deeper wisdom of life, which is accessed through the surrendered state of being.

Very often what underlies addictive behaviors is unprocessed past emotion. In order to avoid feeling the pain of this trapped emotion, comfort is sought in experiences and substances. This coping mechanism can bring about a temporary sense of relief, but aside from not being a sustainable solution, it can have negative repercussions in many different areas of life, damaging health, relationships and ultimately keeping us from our natural state of happiness and well-being.  By becoming consciously aware of the body's experience when an addictive behavioral impulse arises, it is possible to gently open to the uncomfortable emotion and by staying present with it and feeling it from a position of non-identification, these emotions can release and integrate. As a result of this practice, many unhealthy behaviors and addictive patterns fall away, resulting in more harmony, peace and happiness in all areas of life.

In order to know your true self through direct experience you must have the willingness to give up the mind's ideas about how life should be and what should be happening in life. This means giving up control, giving up interest in thoughts and having the willingness to deeply feel whatever wants and needs to be felt in the body. 

With this total and complete surrender to the Divine itself there is no longer a conceptual 'me' directing 'my' life, there is only a deeper me (Awareness), which is aware of how life is unfolding. From here there is no resistance, and without resistance there is no suffering, only deep, unending peace.

The awakening of consciousness takes place on three levels: the mind, the body and the heart. The mind begins to awaken when deep questions arise and are reflected upon, such as, 'who am I?' 'what is the meaning of life?' 'what happens after I die?' 'does God exist?' Through the practice of self-enquiry the mind becomes conscious of itself and the veil of the separate self falls away to reveal the True self (pure awareness).   

As higher consciousness begins to penetrate through the system, unprocessed emotions and energies that are held in the body bubble up to be integrated, and a longing from deep within the heart reveals its yearning to merge fully with the Divine.  Each person will experience their own unique awakening journey and there is no right or wrong way for awakening to happen. Also, these levels of awakening can happen suddenly, slowly, separately or together.

Most of us grew up in a society which conditioned us to believe that our happiness was dependent on external circumstances, whether it's relationships, money, status, materialism or success. Those that discover that these things can only bring temporary fulfillment often begin a search for something deeper. A search for the Divine.   

Lasting happiness is accessible to all of us in every moment. This happiness is derived not from things or circumstances, but from the joy of Being. When we stop all seeking, searching, resisting and efforting and become totally and completely present in this moment right now, a vast ocean of peace opens up to us. A peace that is unchanging, unmoving and eternal. As we become anchored in this presence, we can still have preferences and desires, and enjoy the beauty of the world of forms, but the difference is that we are no longer attached to those things or seeking happiness and fulfillment in them.

Join Louise this Sunday for an open guided meditation followed by Q&A: https://www.louisekay.net/zoom.html   

When the mind personalizes thoughts and feelings it creates problems. These problems all center around a conceptual self, which we refer to as 'I'. When we investigate the nature of this 'I' we discover that it cannot actually be found and does not actually exist, aside from in our own imagination. With this seeing comes the recognition that who I am is not that concept of myself, but that which is aware of the concept. This is pure awareness. It never changes, never moves, never dies. It just is. Nothing belongs to awareness, nothing affects it, nothing harms it and nothing can destroy it (you).   

When your perspective shifts from identifying as the conceptual 'I' to understanding that 'I' am awareness, then you are instantly free from suffering. Feelings don't need to be changed or fixed, they are simply witnessed. Thoughts don't need to be changed or eliminated, they are simply witnessed. And the attention rests problem free as 'I awareness', simply witnessing the magnificent phenomena that is life.

Next time you experience what you would call a 'negative' emotion try this practice:  Take a moment to pause, notice your breath and bring all your attention fully present into this moment. Become aware of sense perceptions, such as sounds, smells etc, and then notice the thoughts that are appearing in your mind. Don't try to stop or change the thoughts but just for this moment don't give any interest in whatever they're saying. Let go of the idea that anything needs to be fixed right now.  

Then acknowledge the emotion that is present, and after acknowledging it take away its label. Notice that you didn't choose this experience, it is simply appearing by itself and let go of any personalization, resistance or attachment to the emotion. So you are simply observing it neutrally. You are the spacious, formless awareness in which the emotion is temporarily appearing. Let your attention rest as the untouched witness of the experience.  

From here slowly and gently bring your attention more deeply into the body and adopt an attitude of open curiosity. Ask questions like, 'where is this emotion felt in my body? What is the actual sensation that's there?' Allow your attention to gently open to, include and consciously feel the sensations. Even if it feels uncomfortable stay with it and remind your body that you're safe and everything is ok right now. If resistance is present, acknowledge and allow that too.   

If you notice that your attention gets pulled out of the body and back into streams of thought, the moment that you become aware of it simply notice and start the practice again. Don't beat yourself up about it if that happens, you're learning and this takes practice.

Can you be comfortable in not knowing and not having any answers right now? Can you even let go of all the answers that you believe you do have? ... answers to things like who you are and who other people are, and what the meaning of life is. Can you rest your attention fully present here in this moment without projecting your mind into past or future or any concept, and simply be in the mysterious unknown of the now?

In this moment you know the experiences which are appearing now (sense perceptions, emotions, sensations, thoughts etc), but these appearances will sooner or later disappear. But what is it that is knowing the experiences? That which knows / perceives never appears or disappears, and nor does it ever change. In fact it is the only thing that is ever truly stable. The discovery of your True self as this eternal, unchanging, unmoving awareness is what brings about the end of the sense of separation, and ultimately the end of suffering.

It's possible to eliminate all problems from one's life by changing one's attitude towards life experiences. When you see that within each problem lies (often hidden) an opportunity to grow in some way, then problems transform into challenges containing hidden gifts and they are welcomed with joy and gratitude.  This doesn't mean no longer having preferences and desires, which are natural and healthy aspects of the human experience. But what it does mean is that if your preferences and desires do not manifest, there is no longer suffering. There is instead the capacity to embrace every experience with gentle, unconditional love.

The experience of 'efforting' in one's spiritual practice is born from the conceptual self's ideas that something needs to be done in this moment. Such mental agendas often include stopping thoughts, being more present, getting enlightened etc. These ideas are in fact mere thoughts themselves and in order to let go of 'efforting', one must go beyond the level of thought.

Whenever there's a recognition that 'efforting' is happening, the key is to enquire in that moment, 'what story is the mind telling right now, about how I need to be doing, getting or becoming something?' and from there draw the attention back into that which aware of the thought and curiously enquire into the nature of that which is aware.

Pure awareness is beyond thoughts and concepts and therefore beyond agendas. It doesn't need to get, become or change anything, it simply IS. This pure awareness is the essence of who you are. When the attention continuously rests as pure awareness and there is no identification with any thought or mental concept it is possible to remain open, free and effortless in every single moment, regardless of any external or internal experience.

Uncomfortable emotions in and of themselves don't cause suffering. What causes suffering is the way that the mind interprets the sensations in the body and tells a story about them, which centers around a conceptual self. 

For example, a contraction may appear in the belly area. From the higher perspective of the True self, consciousness, this is a neutral experience. It just is. It has no inherent meaning. The nature of consciousness is unconditional love so there is simply awareness of the sensation and no agenda to change it or get rid of it. 

However, if the mind translates the sensation in the belly into a story, such as, "I have no worth because this sensation is appearing", an instant enemy has been born and all attention and effort must then be directed towards eliminating this enemy (the sensation in the belly) because it is painful to believe the story about its meaning. This inner war creates a sense of separation and suffering.

By seeing the story that the mind has created, recognizing that it is not the truth and welcoming all emotions with unconditional love, instant peace is possible.

 Many people seek enlightenment as a way to escape the suffering that they're experiencing in this moment. They project that they will experience peace at some point in the future, and so the mind focuses on reaching that future moment when the goal of enlightenment has been attained and peace is known. The confusion here is that suffering is not avoided by moving the attention away from the experience of now, but by the radical opposite: moving the attention closer to the experience of now. So, in order to experience peace one must give up the idea that it lies in a future experience and surrender fully into this moment.

With the ability to see reality through the eyes of Truth as opposed to seeing through the filter of the conditioned mind, suffering instantly falls away. Every moment is seen and received as a divine blessing and every challenge is recognised as an invitation to surrender and an opportunity to heal unprocessed emotions and release limiting beliefs.

It is very common during the process of spiritual awakening that a sense of fear arises from the separate self. When we open to our true nature, the one consciousness, the mind can experience a fear of its own death. This is a crucial moment in spiritual practice, and what is required in that moment is to completely allow and surrender fully to the experience of fear.  It is in this surrender that the sense of separation dissolves and falls away like a curtain, revealing the nature of the true self, pure awareness. With this realization comes the knowing that I am eternal, infinite consciousness, and I am also a temporary expression of form, and there is no separation between the two. That part which experiences itself as a separate form can use prayer as a vehicle to open the heart and deepen in unconditional love.

Whenever  there's a feeling of frustration on the spiritual path it is inevitably  accompanied by a desire to escape the present moment. The mind has an  idea about how one's experience should be and the reality in this moment  is different. The mind then seeks ways to change the experience of this  moment and projects that a better, 'more spiritual' moment exists in  the future. In order to transcend the perceived illusory problem of  frustration one must disengage from the mind's commentary. That doesn't  mean stopping or changing the mental narrative, but disidentifying from  it. It means that you stop believing the story and see the story for  what it is (the ego/mind generating unnecessary suffering). The  attention must withdraw from mind content and abide as pure awareness.  From here, uncomfortable sensations in the body are witnessed with  gentle curiosity, consciously felt and surrendered to. With full  acceptance of 'what is', frustration automatically dissolves because the  very definition of frustration is contradictory to acceptance. It is a  form of resistance. When you stop believing in the story of frustration,  you (awareness) are instantly free.

One of the misconceptions that many people hold is the idea that 'if I'm able to stop my thoughts, I'll experience peace.'

 You can't stop thoughts because you aren't controlling them, just as the sky isn't controlling the clouds that pass through it.

 Therefore any attempt to stop thoughts will simply lead to frustration and more stress. 

 This spiritual practice is not about trying to stop thoughts, but instead turning the attention away from thoughts and focusing on the spaciousness in which the thoughts appear.

 This spacious awareness is not disturbed or affected by any thought and it is here in pure, still Beingness that you will discover lasting peace.

When we mature spiritually we step into our true power and take full responsibility for our life. What were previously perceived as problems transform into challenges and opportunites for growth and surrender, and are faced head-on with courage and unconditional Love. Old patterns of avoidance and resistance are seen with clarity but no longer acted out, and we live in alignment with, as an embodiment of, the teachings of Truth.

The conceptual self identifies with external experiences, objects, emotions, thoughts, experiences of the body, and personalizes them which creates suffering. When we become conscious of this mechanism a shift in identity takes place from the personal, conceptual self to the impersonal. The sense of 'I' then no longer revolves around experiences and stories, but refers to an abiding of the True essence of ones being, pure consciousness. This is the discovery of freedom.

When we become conscious of the distortions of the mind, (eg how it judges others, makes constant comparisons, complains etc), the idea often arises that these mind patterns need to be changed or somehow eliminated. However, this idea is also born from the mind!

  It's not necessary to change the mind, but just to observe it and see it for what it is, without identifying with or believing in the thoughts. Instead of being invested in the content of mind, focus your attention on the spacious awareness in which the thoughts arise. Your mind will then gradually quieten and you will deepen into the stillness of Being.

Meditation has many benefits and can support our system to heal on three levels. On the level of mind it allows us to disidentify from the conceptual self and recognize our True self as spacious awareness. On the energetic level it can draw out repressed, unprocessed emotions, and on the physical level it can support the relaxation and release of deep contractions held in the system. This healing all happens effortlessly as a result of abiding unconditionally as 'I am' consciousness, without any agendas or expectations.

The ego gets a distorted sense of pleasure by feeling a sense of self from and identifying as 'the one who suffers.' It will even fight to defend its right to suffer and maintain identification with the story it has attached to. By becoming conscious of this distortion we can free ourselves from mental suffering by giving up believing in the mind's stories.

In this guided meditation, Louise invites the listener to let go of all ideas of what it means to meditate, of all concepts of an 'I' that is here meditating, of agendas and outcomes, and to allow your attention to drop fully into the present moment and just notice that you are aware.

Louise explains that it's a natural part of the awakening journey to at some point feel a pull to retreat from the external.

The willingness to look and to see the Truth is one of the key components for deepening in Truth and experiencing transformation on the level of form.

A lasting sense of inner peace and fulfillment is found when one's inner state of being is no longer dependent on external circumstances. There is neither  attachment to experiences, nor focus on what is lacking or missing in the present moment. Each moment is met with the pure openness that is unconditional Love.

When you surrender to your True Self your physical vessel becomes a gateway for the divine to express itself creatively in form.

When we let go of the conceptual self we discover what lies beyond the mind and it is in knowing ourselves as this pure awareness that we discover freedom.

In this recording Louise offers a guided meditation inviting you to open fully to the present moment.

In this podcast Louise explains how the egoic mind takes on an identity with either a positive or negative polarity. She says that if we want to know true, lasting freedom we must become consciously aware of the identity that our mind has formed and then be willing to give it up.

In this podcast Louise speaks about the only thing that remains unchanging and constant. The only place we can find safety, security, trust, love, all the things we long for, is in the depth of our own Being.

In this podcast Louise explains the difference between a mind-based desire and the desire to surrender to Truth which arises from the depths of the heart.

In this recording Louise talks about how best to make a decision by opening to the stillness of the present moment and surrendering to the unknown. This allows us to transcend the chaos of the mind and from this deeper space of Being clarity and guidance arise effortlessly.

In this recording Louise speaks about how we are able to discover lasting peace by transcending the dualistic perspective.

When we become fully present in the body and open to deeply feeling the inner energy field without having any agenda to change, heal or fix any sensation, our system effortlessly returns to its natural state of balance and harmony.

In this recording Louise offers a simple pointing which invites the listener to disidentify from the mind and its stories.
