On the Terrain of Awakening

The term “awakening” is referenced in spiritual circles with a myriad of interpretations or inferences. What one person deems to be an awakening can differ from another. In this rich and practical talk from her April 2018 Loon Lake retreat, Mukti explores the terrain of spiritual realization and different types of shifts that are commonly experienced. She also reveals how forms of inquiry can orient us toward discovering our true expression as Spirit.

Topics Include: 

• Distinct Flavors of Realization 
• Inquiries that Nourish the Awakening Process
• Three Key Energy Centers of Awakening 
• The Source of Wanting to Know Awareness
• The Power of Sincere Curiosity
• Attention Giving Way to Awareness
• The Intimacy of the Heart Center
• How the “I Am” Experiences Itself in the Hara
• Knowing of the Unborn

Quotes from this Download:

“There can be a point where it feels like awareness comes alight and is awake to itself. And that can be a huge shift, because it displaces the sense of the one who is engaging awareness.”

“When I talk about self-inquiry, I’m really speaking about inquiry that is meant to catalyze realization of the All.”

“There’s a knowingness of being that knows that what we essentially are can never be born and never die in the way that form is born and dies.”

“When we truly want to be here for life, and have the sense that this is an opportunity to incarnate and be present for what’s happening, then it makes it more palatable to go through some of the difficulty, because the journey feels like it’s in service to what is true and what is deeply resonant and expressive of our essential self.”
