About this episode
This episode features a guided meditation focused on Hridaya meditation and self enquiry, promoting a gentle approach to spiritual awakening.
This guided awakening meditation draws on Hridaya meditation and the self enquiry teachings of Ramana Maharshi. Through gentle heart based attention and simple enquiry, awareness is invited to turn back toward its source, allowing thoughts and identities to soften naturally. This is an embodied, nervous system led approach to awakening that supports integration, safety, and lived clarity rather than striving or peak experiences. An invitation to rest as what you already are, and to let awakening unfold in a grounded, sustainable way.
