How do we react as the Self when something arises in us or when we are triggered? Whatever arises we can view it from a place of loving acceptance and not be in argument with ourselves and this moment.

This Satsang ends with a short guided meditation "Loving Acceptance Of This Moment"

How do we work through relationship challenges from the awakened place? What does it look like to be the Self in our every day relationships?

In this powerful Satsang, Helen describes how we can consciously come to our relationships and allow them to transform into their highest manifestation, allowing us to embody the Truth that we are.

All relationships are a mirror to our own Self.

"Can there be 'my' patterns without a separate me?"

What shapes are you creating from the shapeless?
Helen explains how our life has to take the shape of our concepts, our beliefs. The more we believe in a concept then the more solid the shape appears to be. Just like shapes that are carved into shapeless dough.
If I believe I am a separate being, not worthy of waking up, then this is the shape that appears, that takes shape in the shapeless, the formless.
When we begin to question the beliefs (the shapes that have been shaped into the dough) and see that there is nothing to shape the dough, then it naturally takes its highest form possible. Joy and peace come from recognising our shapelessness.
What shapes the shapelessness of our being is a thought.

In this Satsang Helen reads a question about how doe seeking come to an end? What does no suffering look like in actuality? Helen's answer takes us deeper into what real self-acceptance looks like.
We can use a question such as "What other ways am I showing up as in this moment?" to help us open to all the ways the Self is showing up. Can we be the seeker, the open acceptance of the Self, the resistance and the one that is trying to choose which one is right? Yes we can!

In this Satsang Helen talks about how to really make the change to being peaceful all the time. What is it that we can do to actually make a difference? What stops us from living as the Truth? How do we stop falling back into illusion? We need to make friends with our mind!
This Satsang finishes with a beautiful example of contemplation as Helen takes a questioner through challenging this disturbing idea that "I cannot trust myself" and back into peace.

In this profound Satsang, Helen explores the deep connection amongst awakening with relationships, unconditional love, and non-dual love.
We are One Being experiencing itself through countless body-minds and lifetimes. When awakening begins to unfold, it often invites us to shift how we relate to ourselves and others. This shift is a movement from conditional love to unconditional love, and ultimately to non-dual love—Love simply being Itself.
Helen shares practical insights into how this understanding can transform everyday relationships and our entire way of living.

Topics Covered:
- Living the truth that there is only One Being
- What it means to love unconditionally?
- The embodiment of awakening through relationships
- How to apply non-dual understanding in daily life?

Satsang and life are the same. Every experience you go through in life, even those you don't like or don’t choose, can be a doorway to deepen awakening.
In this video, Helen explores the deeper truth of our spiritual journey: Awakening doesn't require changing your life — it only requires seeing it clearly.
While self-inquiry is the most direct route to awakening, Helen points out an overlooked pathway is to realise two things:
1. You are not a phenomenon.
2. No phenomenon can affect you.
Join Helen in this powerful reflection to recognise the simplicity and immediacy of freedom, Here and Now.

What is it that sees through the eyes and hears through the ears? You are the perceiver of all that is coming and going and you are always here. Enjoy this guided self-inquiry with Helen and some powerful exploration with particpants afterwards.

We, as human forms, seemingly obsess about objects and forget who We truly are, forget that We are infinite formlessness, not a form. It can be challenging for us to live as That, the real truth, all the time. Helen guides us through to simply the process.

In this satsang, Helen guided a meditation using the doorway of "Awakeness".

Can we learn to embrace rather than reject those uncomfortable and unpleasant feelings? Can we learn to love the ego and see it for what it is rather than push against it when it comes up to be seen?
Helen teaches and reminds us that pushing it away has never worked. She points us to how the Self welcomes it all and would never push anything away. We are the Self, and when we meet everything that appears as the Self, we no longer suffer.

Self-Inquiry is a practice where we allow our life to unfold as the experiential answer to a profound question about our true nature. The heart of the practice is not in finding definitive answers but in falling in love with the question itself—approaching it with openness and curiosity beyond any specific conclusion.

Meditation, in its simplest form, is not trying to change your experience but rather noticing that in which all experiencing is happening. It is forming a new habit of paying attention to that which is unchanging and in the background of all experience.

There is a love so pure and total that is waiting to embrace us all. It wants nothing from us and does not need us to change. It does not see us as unworthy or unready. It sees only its own Self when it looks at us.
It is our own Self already. How do we let it in? Helen talks about her own experiences of heart openings and how loving acceptance and kindness of our own self is the key.

This Satsang begins with a beautiful guided meditation on noticing what is noticing and resting as that Awareness. Later, Helen answers question and we see some amazing self-inquiry and resting as this Awareness.

Awareness is watching itself, recognising itself and nothing can stop that from deepening.

Enjoy this beautiful Satsang.

In this powerful Satsang, Helen takes us through self-inquiry over and over to come to see who we really are. To finish, Helen answers questions sent in and address the subject of consciousness being only a function of the brain or mind.

Enjoy this important Satsang.

What do you find when you look for yourself? Can you find a separate person? Are you a person? Are you a thing?

What do you do when an emotion comes up? What happens when you make a mistake? Can you simply allow what is without telling a story? This is awakening deepening. Don't tell stories about your stories! Don't take ownership as a separate being.

18:16 Q1: I am sad and confused to discover that I am not who I thought I was. 21:34 Q2: Normally my mind is in the Self but when I am with other beings it becomes chatty and messy and I can't control it. 27:05 Q3 I have chronic fatigue, OCD, I have contemplated the belief of whether there is something wrong with me and although it already seemed irrelevant there doesn't seem to be any change. Do I have to accept the illness to overcome it or keep asking questions? 32:20 Q4: Don't stay in a half awakening believing that Consciousness is just the formless. If I say there is something that is not Me, I am still in separation and avoidance. 37:54 Q5: You say don't take ownership of thoughts but what should I do to avoid them? Some just come and I identify and believe them. 41:36 Q6: How can I maintain my centre in an environment that sees me as a demon?How do I as a journalist apply this to my profession? 48:36 Q7: When I have negative emotions I identify with the separate self. Are these beliefs and resistance at the soul level...is having this incarnation to dissolve these limitations? HH: Let go of the ideas and expectations of what being Awake should be like, accept all the ways it shows up today, including those emotions. The desire for something to change is not resistance. But the rejection of that desire ‘I should feel good even if there is anger’ is.

<!--td {border: 1px solid #cccccc;}br {mso-data-placement:same-cell;}-->How do we live in freedom all the time? We can come to see that even when attention goes to the mind, the Self is always free. Attention moves to thoughts, the body contracts but we are still free. The powerful last few minutes of this Satsang will change your whole life!
2:40 I had the experience of waking up but then going back to sleep. Why?. There is also financial insecurity and I don't know what to do. How to stop worrying about what's going on in life?
12:41 I think ending a relationship is going to cause me a lot of pain and sacrifices.
17:36 You said that Consciousness is happy with everything but how to understand this knowing there is people suffering from war?
26:35 Is it so that me as the Totality cannot suffer lack and me as individual I can suffer in order to learn something?
32:34 I have a sense of lack and deep sadness that is not solved by anything external.
42:16 I understand that the Noumenon is everything but as a separate self, my experience is different.
56:48 I know it's not worth trying to fix anything as a separate being but I want to see it more clearly.

In this beautiful Satsang we explore how the idea of being a separate person that is making decisions is the cause of all guilt and shame. If we believe we are a separate person, we will feel we are making the right or wrong decisions and it is simply not true. All is unfolding spontaneously as the infinite Self in which there are no other beings.
We are free now and from this place of freedom we can look at any emotion and allow it to release.
00:00 There are many drugs and certain practices such as sleep and light deprivation,... that produce a state of disidentification with the ego. Aren't enlightenment states another psychotic and permanent state of mind? How to prove otherwise ?

05:57 I still believe that I am the body, a person, I am not sure of being my real Self, I still feel anger, envy, jealousy, in spite of my constant spiritual quest. Can you please talk a little bit about it and help me with this?
11:37 If enlightenment is freedom from the feeling of being separate, then who is the one who is free from that feeling of separateness?
14:40 The heart sutra. Emptiness is form, form is emptiness.
Could the analogy of this teaching be that of lucid dreaming, that is, living completely this dream we call life, without attachment to or rejection of its content, but knowing and recognising at all times its dream nature?
17:25 If I am the Universe there is nothing that can be against what I want to do and I just have to see how I am blocking the power. On the other hand you says that there is nothing you can do but observe and taking away the idea that you are doing something. That there are no decisions that we make. How can you understand this two things?

19:54 As the Noumenon: does intention generate the phenomena that we perceive? Do we determine reality?

22:45 When we discarnate, does the mind remain the same or does it disappear?
When I meditate and the mind is silenced, I am like emptiness, I am nothing, is that correct?
26:13 If there is no separate self then there is no good or bad , war and peace is one because there is no separation. There is only one, unity, i.e. no one can die or live because the ego is illusory, (the person), therefore no one leaves a better or worse world. It is an illusory game and each character gives it reality, by believing ourselves a body, and a person with beliefs, prejudices, we judge the world.
I also believe that we don't have free will even if we recognise ourselves as a unit because there is no one there. I would love your advice, is it something like that?, or am I wrong?
30:29 Something has happened to me lately after contemplating, that I started having disturbing dreams. First I used to wake up with a fluttering heart but lately even though the dreams are disturbing when I wake up the heart stays calm but now I feel what I felt in the heart in the solar plexus.
34:18 How can we love the misfortunes of the world, the murderers, the rapists... Is there such a thing as evil?, and how can we love it, and the parts of ourselves that we don't like, do we love them?
39:22 Self inquiry: What are you?
51:30 Contemplation: Experience: Skin problem. I can't find the emotion. I feel disconnected from the world. Belief: I can cause harm to another being
1:12:15 Contemplation: Experience of losing consciousness, family history of Alzheimer. Emotion: Fear of not being in control, of losing consciousness when I meditate. Belief: I can lose control

"Contemplation is a kind of art or science and is the most direct way I have found to transcend our karmic patterns. Only in the Silence is the root or seed of these patterns being destroyed" - Quote from this Satsang
In this Satsang Helen completes an explanation of the core practices of meditation, self-inquiry and contemplation. What do we do when something seems to bring us out of a deeply peaceful state? How do we move beyond thoughts. emotions and experiences that keep occurring and back to peace? Contemplation is the answer!

"Instead of looking for the right answer to the question "what am I really?" we can allow our life to be the experiential answer to this most important question. We can fall in love with the question more than any particular answer." Quote from this Satsang.
What is self inquiry and how do we do it? In this Satsang Helen continues her explanation of the core of the teachings and shows us how to master meditation, self inquiry and contemplation as the keys to living our truth.

"Meditation in its simplest form is not trying to change your experience but rather noticing that in which all experiencing is happening. It is forming a new habit to pay attention to that which is unchanging and in the background of all experience" - quote from this Satsang.
What is meditation and how do we work with it? What is the fastest and most direct way to come out of suffering? Join Helen as she explains what meditation and what it isn't. Enjoy this simple and powerful meditation with Helen.

Why is mind so noisy? What can we do if anything to bring peace? Is there a systematic way to take apart our noisy mind? Join Helen Hamilton as she reads from her book "Transcending The Mind - Some disassembly required" and explains the assumption that we all make that are like splinters buried deep within our psyche.

In this Satsang we look at how the problematic areas of our lives are those in which we tend to think in a very narrow way. We can allow some different ways of thinking and therefore allow abundance to flow if we can look at things differently.
We can ask the question "How would the infinite Self think about this?" to allow an openness and new thoughts to come in.

Contemplation is the art of challenging our deepest beliefs with an open question. Contemplation dissolves our karmic patterns and give us immunity from Suffering.
