Being Yourself | Return to Who You Already Are 20:30

6d ago20:30

20:30

“Thought is a beautiful power that arises in Awareness. If that power is worshipped or if it is hated, then it grows into a tyranny. You are Awareness, not the thought of Awareness, but the reality of Awareness.” When we identify with the thoughts and feelings arising in our mind and body, we overlook our true face—awareness itself. Habitually foll…

Being Yourself | What Can Death Teach Us About Life? 25:39

2M ago25:39

25:39

“There is a possibility of meeting the Satguru which is death – the final great teacher of us all. Not as an escape from life, just an opening to what is inevitable, to what is here.” Genetically, human beings are designed to survive, to avoid death. The fear of death is natural. But when we are willing to consciously meet death, to investigate its…

Being Yourself | Stopping Doing, Simply Being 24:03

4M ago24:03

24:03

“The mistake is overlooking what is effortlessly, choicelessly, always here.” How is it that we actually overlook the truth of ourselves? When we pursue sublime states of mind to attain “unity” on our spiritual path, we can go down a path that instead delivers an experience of separation. Gangaji invites us to simply be, and in that, discover what …

Being Yourself | The Innocence That Was Never Lost 14:56

6M ago14:56

14:56

At some point in our lives, we will experience a loss of innocence. Whether that disillusionment is with ourselves, our family, or with life itself, there is a choice that arises in the midst of loss. Will we fall into cynicism and self-betrayal? Or do we meet the pain of that loss directly and in that, discover the innocence that was never lost. V…

Being Yourself | Consciously Opening to Emotional Pain 16:56

9M ago16:56

16:56

“There is no problem with pain. There is pain. If you are seeking something to avoid pain, that’s the suffering. That’s the search that must be called off.” It takes effort to avoid our emotional pain. We can try to avoid it, but ultimately the common strategies of withdrawing, protecting, and dissociating from feelings of hurt actually turn emotio…

Being Yourself | Necessary Pain, Unnecessary Suffering 19:05

10M ago19:05

19:05

“If you stop thinking about how to get out of the body that may be painful or how to keep the body that is pain free, you get to experience the truth.” Physical pain is an essential aspect of life that serves the survival and well-being of the body, but we can easily turn that necessary pain that alerts us to injury and illness into unnecessary suf…

Being Yourself | Facing Death is Facing Life 21:16

12M ago21:16

21:16

“The strategies and avoidance around the experience of “not being” or death are what keep you from the experience of eternal life.” As a young boy of 16, Ramana chose to stop running from what he feared and turned to face death directly. In that moment of inquiry, he opened his mind asking, “Who dies?” All of us share that same opportunity to stop …

“It was a fire. It was really a fire because it was a razor’s edge. All of sudden there are these huge groups. And if I identified even the slightest negatively or positively…I am sliced on this razor I am living on. It was really a necessary fire. I had to be quiet. I had to be still.” This month we share the soundtrack to a special 30th anniversa…

Being Yourself | The Yoga of Naturally Being Yourself 14:10

1y ago14:10

14:10

“It’s a lie that any thing gives you fulfilling, true, deep joy. Joy is your nature.” We can feel deeply conflicted when following our hearts doesn’t line up with what we or others think we should be doing. When we reach the proverbial and often frightening “fork in the road,” we have a choice to be true to ourselves. Gangaji begins this meeting sp…

Being Yourself | The Direct Experience of Certainty 27:02

1+ y ago27:02

27:02

“Universal, absolute awareness is who you are." How is it possible to be “certain” of who we are? In the wake of an essential and undeniable experience of our true nature as pure consciousness, doubt usually arises—“Did that really happen? Is it real?” Then, we often look to our thoughts for the answer. In this powerful dialogue, Gangaji helps us s…

Being Yourself | Entangled in the Search for a Better Identity 17:14

17:14

“The error is that you are not what can be thought, or perceived, or felt. You are that in which all thoughts, all perceptions, all feelings, appear in.” In countless ways, we search for a “better” identity to replace who we think we are. This month, Gangaji speaks to the trap of misidentification. How is it possible to see your true face? Where ar…

“This is not psychotherapy. This is not anti-psychotherapy. This has nothing to do with fixing you.

Being Yourself | Recognizing the Subtleties of Ego 24:07

1+ y ago24:07

24:07

“This is an invitation to stop. To not create who you are. To simply be yourself with no idea or memory of who or what that is. Just to be. Then to see, how vast this just is.” Our lived experience in a human body gives rise to a wide range of phenomena that include thoughts, feelings, and images of ourselves. Thoughts, feelings, sensations, or mem…

Being Yourself | Chasing Desires, Overlooking Fulfillment 15:36

1+ y ago15:36

15:36

“When you know, without a shadow of a doubt, that you are this stillness, that you are this awareness, then it doesn’t matter what is on the surface.” Human beings have a profound desire to realize a lasting peace. The question is where are we looking, and what desire are we actually chasing? In this very relatable exchange, we see how recurring de…

Being Yourself | A Freedom Story 14:27

2y ago14:27

14:27

Discovering the truth of who you are doesn’t require a certificate of realization. You don’t need to understand Sanskrit or Advaita to know the truth of who you are. The only requirement is the willingness to investigate the thought of who you are. This month on Being Yourself, Gangaji shares what she calls a “sutra from the streets”— a teaching st…

2y ago15:49

15:49

This month on Being Yourself, we return to the summer of 1993 in Boulder, Colorado.
