A questioner talks about her 'dark night of the soul' experience and having her third eye open, and asks how to speed up spiritual awakening. Louise offers a simple practice for sustaining living in the present moment. Join Louise Kay for a weekly live guided meditation followed by Q&A on Zoom (by donation).

If a thought arises which says, 'I want to speed up my awakening' or 'I want to be more present' or 'I want to get enlightened' and that thought is identified with, it projects one's attention into an imaginary future where there will be a moment that is better or more spiritual than this moment right now and a 'self' which is more enhanced. Whenever thoughts of this nature arise, stay as the aware witness which perceives the thoughts arising. Don't identify with any mental desire, but keep your attention fully present in the moment. You will notice that the thoughts arise and then simply dissipate. The truth of who you are is not the 'I' that seeks, but the aware witness of both thoughts and desires, and that can only be known in the Now.

What is enlightenment? How to get enlightened? It's not what you might think! In this video Louise explains how enlightenment is not an experience. Many spiritual seekers experience peak spiritual experiences, but these experiences come and then they go. True enlightenment is not any experience, but the moment to moment direct, experiential recognition of that which never comes or goes: the knowing of oneself as the eternal witnesser of the experiences.

In this video Louise Kay explains how through the power of meditation and living in the present moment you can open to your True nature: pure, luminous consciousness. Your nature state is radiant, luminous, pure Being and when you are fully present in the Now this radiance emanates effortlessly. There is no experience or emotion that can affect your nature state, but if a thought which resists any experience or emotion is identified with, suffering is born. If thoughts are simply observed, without being fed attention, peace becomes the constant, natural state. The core recognition which brings the end to suffering is the realization that 'I' refers to the aware witness (pure consciousness) and the 'I' which mental stories revolve around is not only not who I am, but actually does not even exist outside of imagination.

Living in integrity requires an attitude of gentle openness. With curiosity one can contemplate one's own words, actions and behaviors with the intention of living in alignment with the highest Truth. Beating oneself up internally with violent mental dialogues and self-judgements is not a helpful habit and simply creates and perpetuates inner suffering. If you notice this habit occuring don't try to stop it, simply observe it non-reactively. Trying to stop it is another form of inner violence, whereas simply observing it brings more consciousness to it, thereby depleting its power over you.

Desires are a natural part of the human experience and desires themselves don't cause suffering. What does cause suffering is attachment to desires. In order to discover the state of non-attachment one must turn the attention inward, away from external materialism and experiences. Beyond the level of manifest forms lies a deep, still, unchanging, infinite peace... and with a simple shift in the focus of attention from forms to formlessness, lasting fulfilment can be discovered right here in the present moment.

Anxiety is often accompanied by a racing mind. When we develop the capacity to disengage with thoughts and instead focus the attention on the ever-present background stillness, we gain access to an infinite stream of well-being. When the sensations in the body are consciously and gently felt in the present moment, this stream of well-being infuses the whole system and can bring about profound transformation on the level of experience.

If you bring all your attention fully present into this moment, what is your actual experience of the moment? And who or what is aware of the experience? When no thoughts are present in the moment, what is here? You may answer, "I am here. I am aware." But who or what exactly is that 'I' which is aware? Is it aware of itself? During self-enquiry like this it is very common for the conceptual self (ego) to experience confusion or fear. That is because a shift in identity is taking place, from identification with an imaginary self-image, to identification with the True self (pure consciousness). This confusion or fear doesn't need to be fixed or elimated. By simply resting the attention as the witness of the experience it dissolves and quietens by itself with time. There is in fact no ego to be dissolved. There are only thoughts and unconscious patternings and conditionings acting out. By simply resting the attention as that which is aware and witnessing the present moment, higher consciousness infuses the system and old unconscious structures and imprints unwind and release naturally and effortlessly. It must be noted that the aim is not to reach an end point where the ego has dissolved, but to discover in this moment right now the Truth of who you are beyond the egoic / conceptual self: pure, naked Awareness.

Join the next live guided meditation followed by Q&A on Zoom: https://www.louisekay.net/zoom.html 7 Day Spain Retreat - Discovering Inner Peace: https://www.louisekay.net/spainretrea... When you sit in presence and open to the stillness that's here in this moment you may experience a feeling of peace. However, sooner or later, unprocessed emotions and energies that have been lurking under the surface will bubble up to the surface of your experience. This is a good thing! It means that your meditation practice is working. Higher consciousness draws out the unconscious beliefs and conditionings from your system on the level of the mind, physical and also energetic body. This healing and integration process can be an uncomfortable experience, and the discomfort is usually accompanied by a pull to disassociate from the experience. However, this is the moment when you must remain deeply anchored in Being. Don't move. Remain fully present as the witness of the experience, totally and completely allowing the body to feel whatever it feels. When applied with absolute dedication this practice will bring about profound transformation on the level of form and a deep sense of lasting peace and joy.

Our bodies hold unprocessed emotions from painful past experiences that we weren't able to fully process in the moment. These unprocessed emotions are stored in the body as blocked energies and can feel like uncomfortable sensations, such as tightness, contractions and heaviness. If you meditate and practice presence, your system will begin to process these old emotions by bringing them up to the surface so that they can be consciously felt and release. At this point many people give up their practice, thinking that they're doing their meditation wrong. Remember: if you feel discomfort in your meditation then it's working! Follow this simple 5 step formula to heal the past emotions held in your body: 1. Totally disidentify from the story of 'me' and rest your attention as the witness of the experience. Observe any thoughts that appear but do not give any interest in their content. 2. Adopt an attitude of pure positivity. I'm grateful for this experience! 3. Gently enquire into where the emotion / sensation is felt in the body. 4. Consciously allow your body to totally and completely feel the sensation. Surrender FULLY to it. 5. Be unconditional with the process. Don't wait for the emotion to disappear, just hold it in pure unconditional love for as long as it remains and use the experience to deepen into presence.
