Send us Fan Mail The human being is always changing—from infancy to childhood, adolescence, young adulthood, middle age, and eventually old age. Therefore, if we identify ourselves only as changing human beings, our sense of well-being will rise and fall with the circumstances of life.  When things go according to our preferences, we feel good. When our desires are fulfilled, we feel elated. But w...

Send us Fan Mail If you approach meditation the same way you handle everyday life, it might not give you the results you’re hoping for. In daily life, we rely on the mind—thinking, planning, and doing—to get what we want. Meditation is a bit different. It’s more about letting go and allowing a deeper, creative awareness—the quiet “Knower” within—to take the lead, rather than the busy “doer” mind....

Send us Fan Mail We are all aware of how the human condition and ego mechanism can bring about both joy and suffering. If you are tired of the rollercoaster of the human system, then think about how the ego, or sense of I,  limits you.  If you place your I only on the body, mind, and thoughts, it will always be changing, going up and going down. But if instead, through meditation, you experience t...

Send us Fan Mail In meditation, you experience Pure Awareness where you are unaffected and uninvolved by the thoughts in your mind and feelings in your body. You also have this direct knowledge every night when you are in deep sleep. However, in meditation, you can experience this state of purity even while you are awake. Then, when you open your eyes and again become involved in the waking state,...

Send us Fan Mail Everyone wants Love. A mother and father easily and naturally love their child, as they have come from them, so they are one with them.  When you look for love from another person, most people look for the experience of love. To have chemistry or attraction. Once that is experienced, then they may say, "I love you". However, that love is changing. When they love you back...

Send us Fan Mail Most people think that happiness only comes from fulfilling desires. When you get something that you think you want or need you can feel happy. When you don't get something that you want or when you don't have your preferences met, you feel unhappy. This is human nature which is always based on sometimes getting happiness and other times feeling unhappy.   This up and do...

Send us Fan Mail When we speak to each other and there is a common ground in our communication we enjoy it. When we discuss something and disagree there is disharmony. It can become a war of the ego of each person declaring they are right and the other is wrong. I like to take the stand that the purpose of communication is not only to get your point across but it is to please each other.  Then rig...

Send us Fan Mail You come to know through meditation that you are the pure Self that is not a victim of the mind and body. However, to maintain that awareness when you have practiced being a body and mind from the time you were born. Then the habit has been the identification only as that human being.  In meditation, you experience, or become aware of, yourself first as the Knower of the mind and...

Send us Fan Mail In this talk, Shree guides you into knowing your own Self which is never born and never dies. Most human beings identify as only a body, mind, and personality, so they are afraid of leaving the body or of being in pain and suffering. The body and mind suffer but the true Self or You, the Being, never suffers. Unless you know and identify as your true Self you with suffer either fr...

Send us Fan Mail Everyone would like to find inner peace. However, peace does not exist on the level of the mind. When we call it inner peace we are referring to experiencing a state of peace within your own mind or body rather than in your environment or in the situations in life.   The mind is always wavering, sometimes peaceful sometimes agitated. Therefore, unchanging peace cannot be found wit...

Send us Fan Mail People are aware that they think and that thinking occurs within the mind.  However, if you did not observe this then you would not know it. Therefore, there is a you that is observing the mind. Through the observation of your mind, you can become aware that you are not just your mind as you are the one who is watching or knowing the mind. When you know the Knower of the mind then...

Send us Fan Mail Once you become aware of your own mind you realize the division that the human being is living. There is me and there is you.  There are always two. In meditation, you experience a Vision of Oneness whereby you know that the space you are perceiving is the same space alone everywhere. Then you begin to see yourself and everyone as One with the Whole.  Everyone is united with their...

Send us Fan Mail We have the choice in every interaction whether to argue and fight and create the division of me and you or to choose peace even when we disagree. Two minds can never see eye-to-eye. Everyone has different backgrounds, training, and input so it is not possible. Our egos want agreement and to be right. So you have to realize that everyone is right from their perspective. Then you c...

Send us Fan Mail a state of consciousness exists whereby one is free from the mind, body, and emotions, and living in peace and joy. However, this seems out of reach for most people as they do not experience this state very often. There may be glimpses of it while in meditation but it does not remain all the time. Therefore, a system of practice is needed.  This talk by Shree uncovers eight steps...

Send us Fan Mail The background sound in this audio is the Vyaas River flowing in the Himalayas. That river continues to flow with its rapids and create a loud sound without your doing anything. In the same way, the true Pure Consciousness that you are continues to flow.    When one begins the practice of meditation and Self-Realization the same mechanism of the mind may believe it has to do the p...

Send us Fan Mail There is often talk in spiritual teachings about having to be free from or even having to renounce your ego in order to realize your true Self.  Many people have a weak ego mechanism and do not think highly of themself.  Others, are narcissistic and overvalue themselves but underneath it they are insecure.  In order to realize the Self, it is not that you need to destroy your ego...

Send us Fan Mail The nature of the mind is that whenever a thought or feeling arises you can become involved with it believe it and think it is your reality.  However, thoughts can also be seen as passing waves of perception. Then you are the master who can decide which thoughts to dwell on which ones are useful and which ones you can let go of because they will only cause mental worry, free, or p...

Send us Fan Mail Everyone what to be loved and to love. However, everyone at some point realizes that what we call love is changing. Therefore, it is never true love. We love because we are by nature made of love.

Send us Fan Mail A great deal of upset and anger comes from difficult interactions and conversations with loved ones, friends, or colleagues. Why is this? It is because we all have our own life experiences and ideas of right and wrong. Two minds or egos can never think totally alike.   But we love to have harmony and agreement. When there is an agreement we feel supported and loved and when there...

Send us Fan Mail This podcast shows you that decision-making is limited if only based on your past life experiences, your memory, and your thinking mind. When one relies instead on meditative awareness the decision comes in its time from the purity of your own being and knowingness. Then the decision is the best not only for you but for the Whole.  Support the show www.transformationmeditation.com

Send us Fan Mail How much the mind can remember and hold on to is limited to your own life experiences and abilities. The true Self or Knower is one with all. Therefore, if you only know the mind there is no free will and you are only able to make decisions and think about what the mind has been conditioned and learned to do. The Self, is the Knower or Pure Knowingness, When you tune into the Self...
