Staying Connected to Your Deepest Knowing: The Power of Direct Awakening

by Craig Hamilton | Aug 13, 2020 | 0 comments

It’s easy to be enlightened when we feel enlightened. But how can we live our lives as an expression of higher consciousness even when we aren’t in the midst of a profound spiritual experience? In this 6-minute video from a Facebook Q&A session, Craig answers a question about how to live from our highest, most enlightened selves, even when we don’t feel connected. In doing so, he illustrates how we can use direct awakening practices to bring enlightened consciousness into every moment of our lives.

Below the video, I’ve also included an audio recording of the talk, if you’d prefer to engage the content in that way.
