However, this is not always the case. One can recognize their true nature as pure consciousness and also experience sadness or dullness in the body / heart. This is because the physical form is dense so it takes time for transformation to happen. This isn't a problem and doesn't cause suffering unless there is resistance to the experience and/or identification with a belief that something different should be experienced. If you experience the heart as being 'closed' follow this simple guidance:1. Rest your attention as the aware witness, free from identification with thought or agendas.2. Consciously include the experience of the body as alive sensations.3. Gently inquire, 'what is the actual experience in the body? How does it feel?'4. Take your attention closer to the experience until you become one with it and totally surrender to the feeling.5. Remember, it's not about waiting for something to change or achieve anything, just surrendering to what is.6. Repeat these steps with consistency and the blockages will dissolve with time.Louise Kay holds group events and retreats online and around the world.For more details visit http://www.louisekay.net/

In this dialogue, Louise Kay offers simple step by step guidance on what to do when boredom arises during meditation. She invites the questioner to take away the label 'boredom' and inquire with gentle curiosity what the actual experience feels like in the body. She then invites him to surrender fully to the experience while resting the attention as the aware witness and not engaging with thoughts.• Join Louise for a live guided meditation followed by Q&As on Zoom every Saturday and Sunday (by donation): https://www.louisekay.net/zoom.html About Louise Kay | Non-Duality & Embodied AwarenessLouise Kay is a British born spiritual teacher focused on helping individuals live a life of presence and inner peace.

In this dialogue, Louise Kay explains how to focus the attention during meditation. She invites the questioner to directly recognize that the True self (pure consciousness) is not the body, nor the mind or emotions, but transcendent of all forms and experiences. Even with this seeing it is common for a subtle layer of a sense of personal 'I' to remain and that too must be seen as illusory.When the attention comes to rest as pure awareness one can sense a subtle pull to surrender to the absolute. Simultaneously one can surrender deeply into the experience of the body by consciously feeling the aliveness of its sensations. Surrender is a non-doing. It is a total and complete acceptance and allowing of what is and abiding as pure being.• Join Louise for a live guided meditation followed by Q&As on Zoom every Saturday and Sunday (by donation): https://www.louisekay.net/zoom.html About Louise Kay | Non-Duality & Embodied AwarenessLouise Kay is a British born spiritual teacher focused on helping individuals live a life of presence and inner peace.

• Join Louise for a live guided meditation followed by Q&A on Zoom every Saturday and Sunday (by donation): https://www.louisekay.net/zoom.html • Upcoming In-person Retreats:https://www.louisekay.net/retreats.htmlWhen your system is triggered or the pain body is activated, follow these 5 simple steps to remain present and non-reactive.1. Recognize that your system is triggered. If step 1 is not possible you will react unconsciously and there's nothing that you can do about it. If that happens, the moment you become aware again, simply remain present. Don't identify with thoughts that tell a story that "I failed", "why did I react like that?", "I should have been more present" etc. Reset and meet the moment fresh. Let the past go.2. Recognize that this challenge is an opportunity for your growth. Remain thankful because after all, you want to become more conscious right? So this is the best thing for you. Receive the challenge with gratitude and you will not be a victim to the situation.3. Recognize yourself as the aware witness. Don't identify with any thought that appears, simply observe thoughts. Don't identify with the experience of the body, simply give it permission to fully feel whatever it's feeling. Keep your attention light a laser light of presence, unmoving as the perceiver of the experience.4. Observe thoughts appearing and disappearing. Don't believe anything they say, don't try to stop, control or change them. Simply allow and witness the thoughts as a neutral observer.5. Bring your attention deeply present into the body. Just notice how the body feels and then gently move your attention closer to any uncomfortable sensations until you become one with them. Totally and completely surrender to the experience in the body.If there's a collapse into identification with the conceptual self during any part of the process, the moment that you become aware of it, start again at step 1.Louise Kay holds group events and retreats online and around the world.For more details visit http://www.louisekay.net/

• Join Louise for a live guided meditation followed by Q&As on Zoom every Saturday and Sunday (by donation): https://www.louisekay.net/zoom.html • Upcoming In-person Retreats:https://www.louisekay.net/retreats.html In this video Louise explains how to integrate childhood wounds from a non-dual perspective. There are two perspectives from which one can approach the subject of healing and integrating childhood wounds:1. The perspective of the conceptual self: from this perspective there is identification with an imagined character, referred to as 'I' and there is total identification with it. There is usually a belief that 'I' am not enough in some way (broken/traumatized/unlovable etc etc) and the motivation to heal these problems lies in the belief that one day in the future everything will be ok. Until that moment arrives there is a sense of lack and incompleteness (spoiler alert - that moment will never arrive).2. The perspective of 'me' awareness: from this perspective there is no identification with a separate, individual 'I', but a recognition that the true self is pure awareness, which is formless and invisible. As a side effect of abiding as awareness, unprocessed emotions, energies and unconscious conditionings are drawn out of the physical body and into the light of consciousness. There is peace before experience, during experience and also after experience. The process of integration and healing takes place on the level of form and is witnessed and surrendered to without agendas, effort or control.

When you become deeply present in the now and open to the dimension of stillness which is transcendent of thought, you become one with the infinite field of unified intelligence. This consciousness is then able to inform your behaviors, words and decisions, which will naturally be in harmony with peace.This is a clip from the Germany retreat on August 21, 2025.

The seeking mechanism can either by driven by the mind, which seeks to enhance its sense of individual 'me' by becoming more spiritual, more enlightened, more anything, or by the natural longing of the heart, which is a healthy desire to recognize one's True nature and feel a connection to the Divine.• Join Louise for a live guided meditation followed by Q&A on Zoom every Saturday and Sunday (by donation): https://www.louisekay.net/zoom.html • Upcoming In-person Retreats:https://www.louisekay.net/retreats.htmlClassic traits of an egoic seeking mechanism: a mental idea that spiritual awakening will get 'me' somethingcomparing experiences to past or projecting into the futurea felt sense of longing in the heart an intuitive knowing that there is something deeper than the body/mindWhen the egoic seeking mechanism is present simply observe it. Don't make it personal, don't try to get rid of it or change it, just rest your attention as the impersonal, aware witness perceiving it. Classic traits of authentic heart seeking:When the authentic heart longing is present surrender EVERYTHING to that.
