Throughout my journey of shifts and awakenings, inquiry statements have been helpful. Before awakening to the reality of my conscious nature, I would sometimes pause in the middle of activity and ask my self one of more of the following questions I might start with the simple inquiry “What am I feeling now?” After taking…
Do you hear expressions such as greenlighting, radical embrace, recognition yoga, whole body listening and want support in bringing these into your path of awakening? Have you heard that embodied awaking is facilitated by freeing up bound energy and attention and wondered how to do that? I have found a tool that effortlessly assists with…
The Institute of Awakened Mutuality (IAM) has been offering a monthly tele-series featuring Awakening Stories. You may listen to my story at: IAM Website
If you live close to me, I would love to work with you in person. However, a lot of the work I do with people is over the phone. Our sessions might look like we are simply two people in conversation. Perhaps the biggest difference between our conversations and ones you may have over tea…
Mutuality. Like “democracy,” it inspires us and evokes our highest ideals for how humans relate with one another. How wonderful, we think–everyone is invited to speak their deepest truth, and to make room for others to do the same. It sounds sane, civilized, and humane. And when it’s coupled with the concept of “holding,” where…
By CC Leigh Trillium Awakening coaching services support a remarkably successful process of whole-being awakening and transformation. Some of the key practices that contribute to that success include greenlighting, active or “whole-being” listening, speaking one’s truth, “recognition yoga,” conscious re-parenting, and enlivenment of one’s transcendent-yet-embodied nature (through teacher-transmission and exercises that direct one’s attention to Consciousness)….
Introduction The following is an outline of the principal stages people experience as they are awakening spiritually, especially in those who are moving in the direction of embodiment–the simultaneity of being both the free, unbound dimension of their nature and the very human emotional body/mind at the same time. The outcome of this awakening process…
Imagine there is a supportive container in which you are truly, deeply, profoundly met and seen, in all your conscious radiance as well as your very human limitations. Not only seen but welcomed just as you are, and invited to come forward more and more into your fulfillment as a divinely human being. Imagine that…
(I hesitate to write about myself in this manner, having been deeply conditioned that it’s not appropriate to blow one’s own horn. And also because each awakening story is so utterly unique and individual that at first glance there may be little that one can really gain by studying others’ experiences. In the end it…
…and Other Disappointments: Getting Real and Sober Often people wonder about or ask questions that are a variation of this basic theme: “How can I trust that this is really the highest form of enlightenment? What if I’m barking up the wrong tree here? What if the experience that you offer is not it? Sometimes…
Question: What is the best way for further development after the second birth and what do you say about using other more traditional spiritual maps as well? Reply: You asked: “What do you say about using other more traditional spiritual maps as well?” Above all, Dare to trust your own Total Being. The Trillium path…
A Question After taking part in a Tele-course on The Tapestry of Being (http://krishnasatsang.com/tapestry_mandala.htm) with myself and 50 other folks, Trillium Awakening Teacher Cielle Backstrom asked a very good question about the difference between teachings that are personal offerings and core Dharma teachings. After receiving my reply she suggested I post it saying: Dear Krishna,…
Childhood: Learning to be a limited body-mind personality We are One, we are many. We just cannot be explained. We were born living as a number of paradoxes, which are impossible for the logical mind to comprehend. The most basic is the paradox of being both the finite and the infinite simultaneously. Because most of…
“I wanted to ask you a Buddhist-related question. Since I’m living at a Zen Center right now they’re fresh on my mind. As I was trying to feel into the First Noble Truth of Dukkha, usually translated as suffering, I was feeling like it was very closely related to–if not completely identical with–the Core Wound….
This essay is to become part of a book, a good friend has challenged me to post it as it is, which I am doing here. This is just a start, hopefully it is helpful for some folks as it is so far. The folks I’m addressing here in this essay are not primarily those in…
A personal consideration by Krishna Gauci The Trillium Path and Teachers of Other Schools Without mentioning specific teachers or schools we can pretty much say that when in most cases spiritual teachers recognize the danger of the ego, what they are mostly concerned about is an ego that remains fixed in on itself in its…
by Sandra Glickman & Krishna Gauci Once you can begin to discriminate between your authentic sense of yourself and your conditioned being, gradually over time changes can take place. Now is the time to bring in the deep masculine. There is a potential to become a life-long learner, manifesting vision. You may have to work…

How can we have a deeper experience of Devotion? Devotion has traditionally been related to dualistic teachings. The reason for this is that “the other” is required. Devotion is always between two, you and the beloved. The non-dual teachers are quite clear that you ARE the beloved and there is no separation, so no need…
Q: So many teachers seem to be teaching a form of nihilism. They say that upon examination neither others nor I actually exist, but only consciousness does. I see a lot of people going to different Satsangs who have emotional and personal problems, they come hoping to be healed. Having an experience of emptiness doesn’t…
