Most seekers begin this journey with expectations — about how awakening should look, how it should feel, or what will be lost or gained. But these assumptions quietly block the very seeing they long for.
In this short talk, Ilona Ciunaite points to the five biggest mistakes seekers make on the path of awakening: projecting outcomes, fearing loss, doubting simplicity, chasing experiences, and dismissing what’s already here.
This is a direct invitation to pause the search and look for yourself. What is actually happening right now? What is imagined?
Awakening isn’t a distant event or a dramatic experience — it’s the simple recognition of what’s always been here.
Watch until the end to see how subtle expectations keep the mind spinning and how the simplest look can shift everything.

This video will help you understand how:
– Fear that “I’ll lose family/job/body” is a protection pattern that blocks looking.
– Mind objects to simplicity and prefers to analyze and build stories.
– Awakening is everyday living, not a final state or fireworks.
– Seeing “nothing” is a real seeing; don’t reject it because it is not an experience.
When you stop chasing what isn’t here and turn attention to what is, awakening naturally reveals itself.
