Episode 28 Obstacles to Awakening – Part Two: The Mind

This episode is the second in our series exploring the most common obstacles to deep meditation–and how we can move beyond them. Craig focuses on what may be the biggest challenge for meditators—our busy, restless minds.

Episode 27 Natural Meditation: Being Yourself Without Effort

Episode 27 Natural Meditation: Being Yourself Without Effort

Spiritual teachings often describe the goal of the path as entering into a “natural state”—a way of being that’s utterly easeful, uncontrived, and completely genuine. This natural state allows us to simply be ourselves, without effort, flowing with life as it unfolds.

Episode 24 Obstacles to Awakening – Part One: The Ego

Episode 24 Obstacles to Awakening – Part One: The Ego

This is the first episode in our “Obstacles to Awakening” series, where we explore the most common challenges to deep meditation and how to overcome them. Craig begins by diving into what many view as the greatest barrier on the spiritual path—the human ego.

Episode 22 Spiritual Freedom: Discovering Unconditional Happiness

Episode 22 Spiritual Freedom: Discovering Unconditional Happiness

Imagine being so deeply aligned with the fundamental “Yes” at the heart of life that nothing could overshadow your profound sense of well-being. This radical possibility, which Craig refers to as “unconditional happiness,” is the essence of true spiritual freedom. In this episode, he explores this concept, showing how meditation can help us move beyond the fleeting highs and lows of conditional happiness into a stable awareness of the inherent goodness of life itself.

Episode 21 Beyond Duality: Seeing the Sacred in Everything

Episode 21 Beyond Duality: Seeing the Sacred in Everything

Many of us have glimpsed a sublime, sacred dimension of being, only to feel it slip away in the rush of everyday life. These extraordinary moments often seem distant from the ordinariness of our daily routines. However, as we deepen our meditation practice, we begin to realize that even the most mundane aspects of our experience are infused with that same sublime essence.

Episode 20 The Practice of Emptiness: Dissolving the Illusion of Solidity

Episode 20 The Practice of Emptiness: Dissolving the Illusion of Solidity

Craig explores two different approaches to the practice of emptiness: first as a path of letting go or emptying out, and second as a technical practice of dissolving phenomena into its finer elements and considered a preparatory practice for direct awakening—getting things out of the way so that we can go directly to the source consciousness.

Episode 19 Embracing This Moment: Meditation Without a Future

Episode 19 Embracing This Moment: Meditation Without a Future

In this episode, Craig explores one of the great paradoxes of the spiritual path.

While spiritual practices like meditation can help prepare us for awakening, true awakening is about recognizing that the essence of who and what we are is already enlightened.

Episode 18 Foundations of Meditation – Part Three: Concentration Practice

Episode 18 Foundations of Meditation – Part Three: Concentration Practice

Welcome to part three in our series on the foundations of meditation!
Many of us struggle with maintaining focus during our meditation practice, leading to inconsistent and frustrating results. This often happens because we skip over the essential foundations that support and shape our meditation.

That’s why Craig is dedicating time to examine these pillars of practice in our “Foundations of Meditation” series.
