I’ve recently started taking some basic non-dual classes. A few questions seem to come up over and over again, yet the responses I’ve heard often feel like talking in circles. So I thought it might be helpful to talk about them in a simpler way. The first theme is around feeling emotions. In this process we’re called to feel everything fully, but not feed it. Let’s say you’ve had a complicated relationship with a relative and a lifetime of not being able to express how you r

As this whole concept of a mind, heart, and gut awakening settles in, I’m beginning to see how each stage has shaped my experience of relationships and my role within them. The mind awakening came first. It felt vast and open, almost limitless in its clarity. Non-duality made perfect sense on a conceptual level, and the world appeared translucent, almost dreamlike.

We tend to walk through life thinking we’re the characters in a movie because we’re deeply invested in the play. Identifying with our thoughts, emotions and the character itself.

Revealing that everything is exactly the way it’s meant to be, an infinite amount of expressions and experinces, all unique. The heart based version of the same t

In the depth of my despair, when everything I thought I knew about myself felt like a lie, the only image that brought relief was a fantasy of being consumed by the ocean. I didn’t recognize at the time the significance of this beautifully morbid longing, to swim deep into the sea, to completely surrender, and to let her consume me whole. The vision felt like home, like comfort, like freedom. It wasn’t death that called to me, but surrender itself, the release, the consumptio

When the barriers of projection, judgement and pity fall away, we're left with truth.

Acceptance is key to happiness. We drop the bullshit and move into the present moment without the baggage of the past.

The aloneness of seeing the world from a different colour pallet.

The freedom of no longer obsessively maintaining an identity
