Meditation Changes EverythingThe Deepest Yes: How Radical Acceptance Gives Rise to Transformation“Authentic spiritual awakening is not about getting to a place where we’re above all the pains and tragedies of life. The transformation I’m pointing to is one where we’re able to stay rooted in the direct knowledge of the sacred essence of reality that is the truth of every moment. It’s the fundamental truth that is immutable in every moment. It never changes, even when our own life may be difficult. The goal is to get to a place where your relative experience of the ups and downs of life never obscures your ability to see the...2025-05-0627 min

Most of us move through life with an unspoken assumption—that we are someone, somewhere, located within the edges of our skin. We assume there’s a boundary between “me” and everything else. But in meditation, a different possibility begins to reveal itself. The edges soften. The sense of inside and outside starts to dissolve. And for a moment, there’s no fixed identity to hold on to—just a vast, open awareness...2025-04-221h 07Meditation Changes EverythingObstacles to Awakening - Part Three: Spiritual Bypassing“Many of us begin the spiritual path because we simply want to feel better. And this desire to feel good can take us some distance on the path. It will get you meditating daily, it will get you into workshops and retreats, and you’ll start to grow and change and evolve as a result. But, ultimately, spiritual awakening requires much more from us. It requires us to let go of the need to feel any particular way. It’s not possible to truly awaken, to really go all the way on our path when we’re trying to get t...2025-04-0838 minMeditation Changes EverythingAwakening in Daily Life: Turning Meditative Insights into Action“Meditation is ultimately about getting out of the way so that a greater intelligence and a higher set of capacities can begin to show up within us. We meditate so that we can unlock a deeper care, a deeper strength, a deeper willingness to trust and ultimately a completely different order of consciousness than anything we can cause through our willful effort. As we awaken, this higher consciousness then begins to express itself in all kinds of ways organically and naturally in every aspect of our life.”—Craig HamiltonIn this episode, Craig explores a chal...2025-03-2028 minMeditation Changes EverythingUnlocking the Power of Stillness: Equanimity MeditationIn a world where uncertainty, conflict, and emotional triggers seem to be everywhere, staying rooted in stillness can often seem out of reach.In Unlocking the Power of Stillness: Equanimity Meditation, Craig explores how meditation can become a powerful ally in helping us stay centered and grounded, even in the midst of life’s most difficult challenges. This quality of inner balance is often called equanimity. And it doesn’t mean staying calm all the time, or acting like we’re unaffected by life’s ups and downs. True equanimity empowers us to stay groun...2025-03-0627 minMeditation Changes EverythingDirect Awakening: Four Meditations to Illuminate the Way“Awakened consciousness is always deeply at ease. It's very open and fluid and flexible. And that's something we can sit down and practice. We don’t have to focus on our breath or repeat a word, or try to be mindful of every little sensation. Instead, we can use our meditation as a dynamic, active experiment in consciousnesses where we are making space for spiritual awakening to happen, to reveal itself.”—Craig HamiltonWe’ve all had moments of deep clarity and peace—only to watch them slip away. We’re often told these glimpses are fleeting, or that lastin...2025-02-2133 min
Awareness ExplorersCraig Hamilton, Guest ExplorerIn this episode we talk to Craig Hamilton about his “direct awakening” approach to meditation that aims to immediately connect with one’s true nature. He also emphasizes the importance of integrating awakening insights into daily life through specific practices and radical surrender to a higher principle. • Includes a guided meditation inviting us to notice the vast open spacious awareness within all of us, where there’s room for anything that can arise, when we take the radical step of simply allowing our experience in this moment to be exactly as it is. To learn more about...2025-02-141h 06Meditation Changes EverythingThe Paradox of Practice: When Effort Becomes the Obstacle“From one point of view, spiritual practice is always a postponement of awakening, because awakening is about embracing our true nature exactly as we are right now. Yet, from another point of view, if we don’t practice with intensity, if we don’t undertake a conscious effort to embrace the truth of our inherent freedom, then awakening is probably only going to ever show up in fleeting glimpses because the habit of denying our true nature is so strong.” —Craig HamiltonFor so many of us on the spiritual path, practice is everything. We meditate, we cultivat...2025-02-0740 minMeditation Changes EverythingThe Undivided Heart: Releasing Our Resistance to Awakening“The reason spiritual awakening is so incredibly rare on this planet isn't that nobody wants to awaken. It's that those of us who want to awaken also want something else that's in conflict with awakening. We want security. We want to stay in control. We want to keep our self-image intact. As long as this division is in operation within us, we will not be a space within which awakening can truly occur and take root. This is why it’s so important to resolve this inner conflict and unlock the transformative power of an undivided heart.” —Craig Ha...2025-01-1422 minMeditation Changes EverythingThe Power of Not Knowing: Awakening Beyond Certainty“If we want to live our lives immersed in the mystery of awakened consciousness, we need to give up the idea that we could ever know this mystery with our mind. This means we have to give up trying to know it with the mind, trying to get a handle on it in any way. If we want that extraordinary dimension to become the source of our life, we must learn to live in the innocence of a beginner’s mind.”—Craig HamiltonWe’ve all heard it said that spiritual awakening requires us to leap in...2024-12-2737 minMeditation Changes EverythingThe Audacity to Be Free: Two Meditation Mindsets to Fuel Your Practice“The practice of Direct Awakening is always only about this moment. It's always only about awakening in this moment of practice. So we need to come to our practice with the full optimism and audacity that this moment is the moment that I awaken. There's nothing that could get in my way.” —Craig HamiltonIn this episode, Craig sheds light on an often-overlooked aspect of meditation—the mindset we bring to the practice.While technique gives us the structure, it’s the mindset that brings energy and direction to our meditation.

Ultimately, the spiritual path means trusting enough to let go of the mind and allow a deeper consciousness, a deeper wisdom, a deeper kind of guidance system to start to operate within us that isn't something you can control, and isn't something you can understand with your mind.” —Craig HamiltonThis episode is the second in our series exploring the most common obstacles to deep meditation–and how we can move bey...2024-11-2928 minMeditation Changes EverythingNatural Meditation: Being Yourself Without Effort“One reason meditation is such a powerful tool on the spiritual path is that it’s a safe place to completely give up control. You can sit down, and just let go…and let go…and let go. You can let go of every attempt to control reality, every attempt to control your inner experience, every impulse to control how you feel, every attempt to control the mind. This radical practice of relinquishing control in meditation is a very direct way to start to get a taste of what it means to be truly natural.” —Craig HamiltonSpi...2024-11-1522 minMeditation Changes EverythingOpen Heart, Spacious Mind: The Practice of Unbounded Freedom“Spiritual awakening brings us into direct contact with reality.

It's the discovery that what we are is much vaster than our mind can contain. So if we're attached to a small little story of self that we're invested in maintaining, there's no room and there's no way for us to really open to and let go into the enormity of the super consciousness that is our true nature.”—Craig HamiltonThis episode is the first in our "Obstacles to Awakening" series, where we explore the most common challenges to deep medita...2024-10-0356 minMeditation Changes EverythingA Transformed Life: Meditation as a Catalyst for Exponential Growth“When we're in touch with the higher spiritual potential of our lives, it’s natural that we want to express that potential as fully as we possibly can.

It doesn’t mean you’re not a person. It’s the discovery that what we really are is an interdependent web of complex processes that arise in our body, in our emotional being, in our minds and in the cultural patterns in which we are enmeshed. We tend to experience ourselves as a solid, stable, independent self.

So, the key to liberating ourselves from the prison of the mind is to become genuinely interested in that which is beyond thought entirely.

For an evolved morality that cares infinitely, and burns with a deep love for the greater good. Inherent in that care is an impulse toward oneness, unity, and wholeness. It feels like nothing is separate from me. I'm not separate from this whole. I care about the whole thing equally.
