In the Stay Spiritual interview, I talk about the quiet flip from seeking to seeing — the moment when the pressure dissolves and looking into your own present experience becomes the first real step toward peace.

So many seekers carry a private heaviness that is difficult to name. It isn’t just the desire for awakening; it’s the subtle tension of feeling behind, of trying to catch up, of believing that others are closer to something you can’t quite touch. The desperation grows quietly, and often nobody sees it. In this conversation, I speak about how that weight begins to fall away when the attention turns from ideas of awakening toward the simplicity of what is here now. When the grasping relaxes, even just a little, something softer begins to open.

I also share the beginning of my own journey — the moment a single question revealed that nobody is running the show. It didn’t arrive with fireworks or certainty. It came as a simple seeing, unmistakable and ordinary, like noticing something in plain sight that had been missed for years. Nothing dramatic changed, yet everything shifted. I felt more like coming home than discovering something new.

If you’ve been seeking for a long time, if glimpses rise and fade, or if part of you quietly fears that you’re missing something essential, I hope this meets you with gentleness. You don’t need to push yourself any further. You don’t need to earn clarity. You don’t need to become someone different. The doorway is not in the future. It’s right here in whatever you’re experiencing in this moment.

Beneath the movement of seeking, there is a natural ease that never leaves. It becomes visible when the fight to get somewhere rests for a moment. When you turn toward your immediate experience — without pressure, without comparison, without trying to fix anything — you begin to feel the ground under your own feet again. And often, that is where the real shift begins.

Trust yourself in awakening. In this intimate conversation, Ilona Ciunaite and nonduality guide Luchana Uzunova explore spiritual awakening, embodiment, and living as awareness in daily life.
 What unfolds after seeing through the self-illusion? How does peace deepen, fear soften, and the body learn to trust life again?

We talk about the real texture of awakening beyond concepts: being at peace with not-knowing, dissolving the “center,” integrating emotions, meeting fear with curiosity, and allowing life to move without the old protection patterns. Luchana shares how embodiment turns insight into lived freedom — not as a one-time event, but as an ongoing, human, ordinary, beautiful process.

If you’ve already glimpsed what you are and wonder what’s next, this episode is for you. Stay to the end for Luchana’s closing invitation: “If it can happen for one, it can happen for all.”

Most seekers begin this journey with expectations — about how awakening should look, how it should feel, or what will be lost or gained. But these assumptions quietly block the very seeing they long for.

In this short talk, Ilona Ciunaite points to the five biggest mistakes seekers make on the path of awakening: projecting outcomes, fearing loss, doubting simplicity, chasing experiences, and dismissing what’s already here.

This is a direct invitation to pause the search and look for yourself. What is actually happening right now? What is imagined?
Awakening isn’t a distant event or a dramatic experience — it’s the simple recognition of what’s always been here.

Watch until the end to see how subtle expectations keep the mind spinning and how the simplest look can shift everything.

This video will help you understand how:
– Fear that “I’ll lose family/job/body” is a protection pattern that blocks looking.
– Mind objects to simplicity and prefers to analyze and build stories.
– Awakening is everyday living, not a final state or fireworks.
– Seeing “nothing” is a real seeing; don’t reject it because it is not an experience.

When you stop chasing what isn’t here and turn attention to what is, awakening naturally reveals itself.

In this conversation, Ilona Ciunaite speaks with Pierce Salguero — scholar, author, and long-time meditator — about his book The Lamp Unto Yourself and his multidharma model that honors the many paths of awakening.

Together they explore how different traditions point to the same essence of truth and freedom, how awakening unfolds beyond conceptual understanding, and how the light of awareness guides each of us from within.
 This dialogue offers both a wide view of the dharma and a grounded invitation to live what we see.

You’ll hear about:
– The multidharma approach to awakening
– The balance between scholarship and lived experience
– The universality of awareness across traditions

If you’re interested in the intersection of awakening, mindfulness, and diverse dharma paths, this episode will widen your view and bring the teaching closer to home.

In this guided Deep Looking session, Ilona Ciunaite invites you to look directly into your own experience and explore the nature of the self.
 Rather than answering with the mind, you’re guided to notice thoughts, sensations, and awareness itself — to see what is truly here, beyond concepts and ideas.

This session focuses on the heart — feeling instead of thinking, softening attention, and allowing what is present to be fully met.
 As you follow the questions, you may begin to sense that experience happens effortlessly, without a “me” at the center.

You’ll explore:
– The illusion of self and how to look without thinking about it
– The difference between intellectual knowing and direct seeing
– How to integrate awakening through everyday awareness

Watch slowly. Pause where you need to. No effort, no belief — just looking.

Non-duality and awakening aren’t concepts to believe in, they’re about seeing through the illusion of self. Trying to understand this with the mind is just another trap. You’ve been sold the idea that awakening is a magic switch… spoiler: it’s not.

This episode rips apart the myths, the trap of seeking, the patterns that keep you hooked, and the illusion that you are in control. There’s no chooser, no doer, no seeker. Just life doing its thing.

The questions asked are these:
Why does seeking keep you in circles
The cold truth about “free will” and choice
Why the self is just another program running 

If you’re fed up chasing “awakening” like it’s a finish line, this is the slap in the face that you need.
And perhaps by the end of this episode you will see why and how to stop playing the seeking game.

What if awakening isn’t about understanding concepts, but directly recognising presence through lived experience?

In this episode of Awakening Now, I sat down with Alina Panteleev, a Non-Dual Teacher and Certified Somatic Repression Coach.

Alina helps soulful, self-aware women and men who, despite years of inner work, still feel caught in cycles of self-doubt, emotional repression, and over-processing. Her work is for those ready to take full responsibility for their transformation, apply the practices with autonomy, and rise into embodied leadership, authentic expression, and soul-aligned impact.

Together we explore how teachings from Ramana Maharshi and nonduality start to resonate, not through the mind’s effort to “get it,” but through the body itself waking up.

This conversation dives into how presence recognises itself, why intellectual understanding comes later in the journey, and what it means when the question “Who am I?” finally lands at a deeper stage of awakening.

In this episode, you’ll discover:
-Why awakening isn’t just an intellectual process
-How the body “comes online” and shifts everything
-The role of resonance in recognising presence
-Why self-inquiry often arrives later in the path
- How practice ripens recognition beyond the mind

If you’ve ever struggled to “understand” nonduality or wondered why the path feels backward at times, this dialogue will give you fresh clarity and encouragement.

What if your regrets, guilt, and “what ifs” about the past are nothing more than sitting on a train wishing it turned left when the tracks only go straight?

In this powerful satsang, we explore a simple but life-changing metaphor: life moves the way it’s meant to, and no moment could have unfolded any differently. All the pain, joy, confusion, and growth have led you right here, right now.

If you’ve been stuck in regret, shame, or self-judgment, this talk is an invitation to let go and embrace the freedom of the present moment. Life is carrying you, all you need to do is trust the rails.

Need help with seeing through the illusion of self? Go here 👉 https://bit.ly/4oY0ztV

What if “I understand this intellectually” is the very thought keeping you from seeing reality as it is?

In this nonduality dialogue, we look directly into experience to explore the illusion of a separate self, the trap of expectations, and the deeper longing for truth that cannot be satisfied by concepts.

Through raw honesty and direct inquiry, we uncover:
📌 Why intellectual understanding is not the same as seeing
📌 How the mind creates the illusion of “me”
📌 The role of expectations in keeping seeking alive
📌 What remains when thought is set aside and longing is met directly

🌿 This is not about belief, it’s about looking into your own lived experience.

What if your thoughts, emotions, and identity are just looping prediction patterns? What if true awakening means seeing through the ego’s hidden payoffs and collapsing them at the source?

In this episode of Awakening Now, I sit down with trauma therapist and awakening teacher Charmain Berry—an ex-psychotherapist who now guides others into the true nature of mind, beyond trauma and ego.

Together, we explore the Liberty Code, a powerful framework for uncovering hidden desires, breaking repetitive cycles, and finding real freedom.

🔎 In this conversation, you’ll discover:
✨ What awakening really means from a nondual perspective
✨ Why emotions make our thoughts feel real
✨ How the mind creates prediction loops that fuel suffering
✨ Why “feeling isn’t always healing”
✨ The Liberty Code as a powerful tool for exposing hidden desires and collapsing patterns

👉 If you’ve ever felt caught in repetitive cycles of thought, emotion, or behavior, this episode may shift your entire perspective.

How to recognise the truth about awakening, when there are so many people talking about it in various ways? Reach out to me for a guided session. https://bit.ly/4ozXGzj

In Part 2 of this heartfelt Deep Looking event, we go even deeper into meeting emotions head-on, dismantling old patterns, and uncovering the unshakable safety that’s always here.

You’ll witness real, raw moments where fear, embarrassment, and self-judgment rise to the surface and see how, with gentle awareness, these energies can be met, held, and transformed. This is an invitation to stop waiting for life to be “perfect” before allowing yourself to feel whole.

If you’ve ever felt “almost there” but not quite free, this conversation will bring fresh insight and deep reassurance.

Even after a deep spiritual awakening, many still ask: "If I know who I truly am, why am I still suffering?"

This heartfelt video explores why emotions, pain, and life’s challenges don’t simply disappear after initial awakening and why that’s okay. You’ll hear real stories, raw vulnerability, and guidance on how to meet emotions fully without resistance, finding the underlying safety and presence that’s always here.

Whether you’re a seasoned seeker or just starting your journey, this conversation offers comfort, clarity, and a reminder: there is no “done” — there’s only life unfolding.

The truth about awakening is this: You are NOT broken. Feeling intense emotions, disorientation, confusion, and doubt is part of the process.

In this raw, unscripted guided conversation, we explore why awakening often feels confusing, painful, or like we’re doing it “wrong.”

Through grounded insight and compassionate reflection, this episode guides you through the illusion of “lack,” and into the truth that what you’re feeling, fear, tightness, or uncertainty is not a mistake.

You’ll hear about:
• The trap of thinking something’s missing
• Why discomfort is not a sign you’re failing
• Emotional contraction vs presence
• Allowing what’s already here even if it’s not “bliss”

This is for those ready to stop searching and start remembering who they really are.

I help spiritual seekers to end seeking so that they can enjoy a life of freedom.
https://bit.ly/3T0JYqJ 

If you've been seeking awakening for years and feel like you're almost there, but something keeps holding you back - you're caught in the seeker's ultimate trap: the very act of seeking is what's keeping you from recognising what you already are.

You could spend another decade chasing the next breakthrough, the next teacher, the next method, growing more spiritually exhausted and further from the freedom you crave.

But what if I told you there's one question that exposes a hidden pattern from childhood so clearly that the entire seeking game collapses in an instant? What if the freedom you've been desperately searching for has been waiting for something that you can give to yourself?
 
There's something your mind doesn't want you to discover about why you started seeking in the first place. Once you see it, everything changes.

**🔮 Loosen Your Grip: Break the 30-Year Tension and Step Into Fearless Presence**

Have you spent decades clenching your fists, bracing your shoulders, and policing every emotion so you do not hurt anyone or lose control? This **50-minute live inquiry** follows two courageous seekers who expose the illusion behind lifelong tension, confront the fear of “going crazy” if they relax, and discover a somatic shortcut that dissolves anxiety at its root. If white-knuckle self-control is stealing your peace, let this session guide you back to the calm center that never leaves.

### 📌 What You Will Learn

• Why the body locks down to stop so-called dangerous emotions
• The single question that makes chronic contraction pause instantly
• How the illusion of control feeds anxiety, burnout, and people-pleasing
• A safe-to-feel exercise that disarms panic in real time
• Door 1  Seeing thought-storms as passing weather
• Door 2  Allowing raw sensation to peak and dissolve
• Practical boundaries for empaths  feel your feelings without drowning in others

Stop Self-Doubt in 10 Minutes — Live Coaching Heals Unworthiness and Anxiety FAST

Can one conscious breath rewrite a lifetime of I-am-not-enough stories? In this unscripted spiritual-coaching session you will see exactly that. A courageous seeker faces the mind’s loudest demand ­— “I need to know everything or I am not safe” ­— and dissolves it in real time. No edits. No studio polish. Just practical inner work you can repeat right now to move from fear to natural innocence.

---

### Why This Session Stands Out

• One-Breath Heart Reset — a micro technique that calms the vagus nerve and settles the nervous system in under thirty seconds
• Somatic Spotlight — watch where unworthiness hides in the head centre, then feel it release through the heart space
• Story versus Sensation — learn to catch the instant a mental movie unplugs from the body’s emotions, ending the anxiety loop
• Innocence Retrieval — welcome the inner child home without sugar-coated positivity or spiritual bypass
• Radical Inclusion — tears, pauses, resistance, laughter; everything is allowed and nothing is sliced from the footage

Welcome to this transformative journey beyond ordinary self‐help and into a deeper spiritual awakening. In this video, we reveal why waiting for life circumstances to change can keep you trapped in anxiety, fear, and limiting beliefs, and how recognizing the no‐self principle frees you to experience the peace and joy that have always been available—right here, right now.

By exploring the illusions of identity and the habit of seeking comfort while avoiding pain, we dive into a method of deep looking that helps you face uncomfortable feelings without judgment. You’ll see why it’s safe to feel everything—anxiety, fear, anger, or emotional intensity—because these sensations, once acknowledged, naturally self‐liberate. In this openness, you discover that who you truly are isn’t a bundle of thoughts, emotions, and past experiences, but rather the boundless presence hosting it all.

What You’ll Learn in This Video

The Biggest Obstacle: Waiting for Change
Understand how constant seeking prevents you from embracing the freedom and stillness already present in this moment.

Why It’s Safe to Feel Everything
Discover the hidden power of allowing and acknowledging uncomfortable emotions, rather than running from them or numbing them.

Programming of the Human Organism
Dive into how the mind seeks pleasure and avoids pain, and how this natural tendency can create unnecessary anxiety and stress.

The Illusion of a Separate Self
See through the layers of thought, identity, and concepts that falsely convince you there’s a “me” in control.

Practical Deep Looking Techniques
Learn a simple but powerful self‐inquiry method that directly addresses fears, stories, and negative self‐talk, revealing the no‐self insight.

Embracing Openness & Silence
Experience why presence is never disturbed by strong feelings or changing life situations and how to rest in that space of being.

True Peace Beyond Mind
Recognize how awareness itself can effortlessly dissolve unhelpful patterns and bring genuine peace of mind.

Key Topics Covered
No‐Self and the end of illusion
Anxiety relief through facing emotions
Spiritual awakening & deeper self‐inquiry
Recognizing you are not your thoughts or feelings
Mindfulness and being in the present moment
Safely embracing fear, anger, and strong sensations
Deep looking as a practical tool for freedom

Shocking Truth: You May Not Exist as You Think – In this eye‐opening video, we’ll dive deep into the powerful concept of ego dissolution and the illusion of the separate self. Have you ever paused to question your own identity? Are you really who—or what—you think you are? Through guided self‐inquiry, we’ll unravel the layers of thought, emotion, and conditioning that build up the image of “you,” revealing a vast spiritual awakening waiting just beneath the surface.

Our journey takes us through profound nondual awareness techniques drawn from Advaita Vedanta, Zen Buddhism, and modern mindfulness practices. You’ll discover how the “I” you’ve been protecting may be no more substantial than a passing thought. This realization can bring lasting inner peace, clarity, and a newfound sense of freedom in day‐to‐day life. Whether you’re searching for spiritual enlightenment, curious about consciousness, or simply seeking relief from overthinking and stress, this video offers insights that could transform your perspective.

Are you tired of feeling like you're on the brink of spiritual awakening, yet something always seems to hold you back? In this video, I uncover the four subtle obstacles that keep most seekers stuck, even after years of meditation, shadow work, and self-inquiry. Whether you've been devouring every book on enlightenment, attending countless spiritual retreats, or deeply exploring non-dual teachings, you'll discover exactly why genuine self-realization may still feel out of reach.

If you've ever wondered, "Why am I not enlightened yet?" this is the turning point you've been looking for. Through my own journey and work with hundreds of students, I've identified the invisible locks that hold even the most dedicated spiritual explorers captive. You'll learn how expectation sabotages your inner transformation, how fear operates as a hidden security system for the ego, and how resistance silently cements your false identity in place.
 
We'll also delve into the sneaky habit of waiting-and show you why it quietly prevents you from fully embracing the present moment.

This video isn't about adding more spiritual concepts-it's about recognizing the absence of resistance and the simplicity of pure presence. By facing these obstacles head-on, you'll naturally discover the effortless peace and clarity that arise when the "me" dissolves. You'll see that real awakening doesn't require a grand fireworks display; it asks you to notice what has always been here in your direct experience.

If you're ready for a profound shift in how you perceive yourself and the world around you, make sure to watch until the end. You'll receive a powerful doorway question that points directly to the heart of self-realisation. Don't miss this chance to reclaim the open, boundless space that's never left you, even if the ego insists otherwise.

Join me on this journey to transcend these four major blocks and step into the free, unbounded awareness that is your true nature. Let's unravel the illusions together, dissolve the "me," and awaken the ever-present consciousness that resides beyond all concepts. If you're serious about unlocking authentic spiritual liberation, hit play now and discover the missing piece in your path toward genuine enlightenment.
