Knowing Now

Beginning with gentle pointers to the felt sense of “now,” Mukti shares how conscious recognition of one’s essential nature as eternal awareness informs one’s thoughts, emotions, and feelings. Responding to various questions about meditation, the dazzling dark, and suffering, she weaves back to conscious awareness and how it can transform and soften experience.

Topics Include:

• The Untouchable “You”
• Giving Anger Space
• The Suffering of the World
• Two Kinds of Karma

Quotes:

“When we disengage our energy from thoughts and just let them play out, it’s like pulling a plug out of the wall that’s hooked into a fan. Once you pull that plug out of the wall and disengage the fan, it eventually winds down and comes to a stop.”

“Meditation gives us a greater sense of what doesn’t ultimately define us—all the comings and goings of thought, feeling, and sensation—but it also gives us a sense of what does fundamentally define us—that which is ever present and ever conscious.”

“It’s always good to take a pause when you’re asking a question and ask if it’s the most important question to be asking.”

“We can observe how our spiritual practice changes us and which practices tend to yield results that resonate or feel important, meaningful, and fundamental.”
