Truth and Consciousness with Erin Reese

Today I am sharing a short embodied wisdom talk given to a group of women on the topic of Honesty, Self-Care, and the Inner Child. In this clip, I discuss the absolute importance of not abandoning the more vulnerable parts of self, no matter what. And how, when we commit ourselves to radical self-care, we can have any discussion with another person, whether friend, partner, relative, client - anyo...

What happens when we surrender the thing that is causing us the most pain? Can we trust that the Divine is going to handle it, without our continued interference? In this episode, I offer an exercise in embodied wisdom. An opportunity to lay down whatever is causing you continual, repeated interference and distress. Could be anxiety-provoking, depressing, agonizing, nagging, tiring, or confusing....

Today’s podcast is excerpted from a recent satsang talk, an introduction to some of the basic pointers of non-dual wisdom. In Sanskrit, non-duality is known as Advaita, or “not two.” In this talk, I discuss 👇🏼👇🏾👇🏼👇 The basic pointer - there is no individual doer of any action The peace that comes to the ego with acceptance of its place in Totality “Events happen, deeds are done, but there i...

In this satsang talk on non-duality (Advaita, or “not two," I discuss the vichara , a Sanskrit term for the process of investigation, discrimination, and Self-inquiry often used in the Vedantic tradition. This is considered a practice of jñāna (wisdom), or yoga of knowledge . “Where Am I?” and the Vichara In this short clip, I explain the inquiry of “Where Am I?” which is similar to yet slightly d...

In this short excerpt from a recent non-dual satsang (dharma talk), I discuss phenomena arising in embodied awakening. We are not separate from Totality, and any number of unpredictable phenomena may arise as the body-mind shifts – when there is a dissolving of the identification with egoic consciousness. Remember that, like anything and everything, it is an arising in the manifestation. One may n...

Before enlightenment, chop wood, carry water. After enlightenment, chop wood, carry water. In this short clip from a recent satsang (dharma talk) with students of non-duality, I touch on the return to the day-to-day marketplace from the spiritual mountaintop. The Work does not cease once there is the realization of Oneness. Yes, suffering and seeking end once egoic identification dissolves, yet th...

Stop, drop and roll into stillness. Feeling the heat of the boiling cauldron to attune and align with reality, parsing out pure needs and wants to grow and live in sovereignty… On Friday, April 17th, I met with a small group of paid subscribers to discuss the collective energies arising at this time. I also provided individual intuitive mini-consultations during the call. Because this information...

On April 3rd, I met with a small group of students and spiritual seekers for an online satsang , or “gathering in truth.” I teach from the non-dual wisdom tradition of Advaita (“not two”), with an emphasis on embodied understanding. You may already be familiar with this branch of yogic knowledge, or jñāna . My teaching combines this intellectual understanding with bhakti , when the realization dro...

THE ASH HEAP Put all your wants into the heap let them be engulfed by the flames of Reality Perhaps one of the greatest prayers ever known to me even better - understood by me, is “I want to want what God [Reality] wants.” Life is much simpler when our desires Align with Reality Questions cease, and along with it Goes suffering Your puny ideas of what should be even the limitations of what *could*...

Next week, on March 18th, we receive a watery, emotional and spiritual New Moon in the mutable water sign of Pisces.

A resolution: this is the end. We are being prepared, initiated for what is to come later this spring and furt...

On March 3, we receive a Full Moon TOTAL LUNAR ECLIPSE in the mutable earth sign of Virgo. The energies of this eclipse may be primarily internal, calling forth radical self-acceptance and honesty.

It’s time to admit the tr...

On Friday, February 20th, 2026, we experienced a significant archetypal moment in history - the conjunction of Saturn and Neptune at the zero point of Aries. These two astrological heavies have not met since 1989, and they have not met at this degree since 4361 B.C.E! To honor the energies and receive the transmission of this event, I held a special live event for paid subscribers of Truth and Con...

And if we realize that we are worthy of happiness, no matter the conditions that arise. In...

Wowza! Mars, Pluto, Sun, Mercury, Venus and the goddess asteroids Vesta and Pallas all zinging up the airwaves in the sign of the Water Bearer - the great di...

I gave a talk recently to a small group of long-time students in the tradition of non-duality ( Advaita ). In this clip, I discuss what it means to start the new year with nothing . Not a deficiency, not a lack or deprivation. Rather, the unconditional peace that is eternal. Never not here. The complete and total fulfillment that is your True Nature, beyond time and space. If you are interested in...

On Monday, September 22, the Sun enters Libra to welcome our fall season in the northern hemisphere. The Autumnal Equinox is a time where night equals day, and we concentrate on themes of balance. Yin and yang. Male and female. You and me. Balance is a tricky subject. It’s not equal , or is it? It’s definitely not the same . How does the masculine complement the feminine, and vice versa, regardles...
