Self-Inquiry is a practice where we allow our life to unfold as the experiential answer to a profound question about our true nature. The heart of the practice is not in finding definitive answers but in falling in love with the question itself—approaching it with openness and curiosity beyond any specific conclusion.

Meditation, in its simplest form, is not trying to change your experience but rather noticing that in which all experiencing is happening. It is forming a new habit of paying attention to that which is unchanging and in the background of all experience.

There is a love so pure and total that is waiting to embrace us all. It wants nothing from us and does not need us to change. It does not see us as unworthy or unready. It sees only its own Self when it looks at us.
It is our own Self already. How do we let it in? Helen talks about her own experiences of heart openings and how loving acceptance and kindness of our own self is the key.

This Satsang begins with a beautiful guided meditation on noticing what is noticing and resting as that Awareness. Later, Helen answers question and we see some amazing self-inquiry and resting as this Awareness.

Awareness is watching itself, recognising itself and nothing can stop that from deepening.

Enjoy this beautiful Satsang.

In this powerful Satsang, Helen takes us through self-inquiry over and over to come to see who we really are. To finish, Helen answers questions sent in and address the subject of consciousness being only a function of the brain or mind.

Enjoy this important Satsang.

What do you find when you look for yourself? Can you find a separate person? Are you a person? Are you a thing?

What do you do when an emotion comes up? What happens when you make a mistake? Can you simply allow what is without telling a story? This is awakening deepening. Don't tell stories about your stories! Don't take ownership as a separate being.

18:16 Q1: I am sad and confused to discover that I am not who I thought I was. 21:34 Q2: Normally my mind is in the Self but when I am with other beings it becomes chatty and messy and I can't control it. 27:05 Q3 I have chronic fatigue, OCD, I have contemplated the belief of whether there is something wrong with me and although it already seemed irrelevant there doesn't seem to be any change. Do I have to accept the illness to overcome it or keep asking questions? 32:20 Q4: Don't stay in a half awakening believing that Consciousness is just the formless. If I say there is something that is not Me, I am still in separation and avoidance. 37:54 Q5: You say don't take ownership of thoughts but what should I do to avoid them? Some just come and I identify and believe them. 41:36 Q6: How can I maintain my centre in an environment that sees me as a demon?How do I as a journalist apply this to my profession? 48:36 Q7: When I have negative emotions I identify with the separate self. Are these beliefs and resistance at the soul level...is having this incarnation to dissolve these limitations? HH: Let go of the ideas and expectations of what being Awake should be like, accept all the ways it shows up today, including those emotions. The desire for something to change is not resistance. But the rejection of that desire ‘I should feel good even if there is anger’ is.

How do we live in freedom all the time? We can come to see that even when attention goes to the mind, the Self is always free. Attention moves to thoughts, the body contracts but we are still free. The powerful last few minutes of this Satsang will change your whole life!
2:40 I had the experience of waking up but then going back to sleep. Why?. There is also financial insecurity and I don't know what to do. How to stop worrying about what's going on in life?
12:41 I think ending a relationship is going to cause me a lot of pain and sacrifices.
17:36 You said that Consciousness is happy with everything but how to understand this knowing there is people suffering from war?
26:35 Is it so that me as the Totality cannot suffer lack and me as individual I can suffer in order to learn something?
32:34 I have a sense of lack and deep sadness that is not solved by anything external.
42:16 I understand that the Noumenon is everything but as a separate self, my experience is different.
56:48 I know it's not worth trying to fix anything as a separate being but I want to see it more clearly.

In this beautiful Satsang we explore how the idea of being a separate person that is making decisions is the cause of all guilt and shame. If we believe we are a separate person, we will feel we are making the right or wrong decisions and it is simply not true. All is unfolding spontaneously as the infinite Self in which there are no other beings.
We are free now and from this place of freedom we can look at any emotion and allow it to release.
00:00 There are many drugs and certain practices such as sleep and light deprivation,... that produce a state of disidentification with the ego. Aren't enlightenment states another psychotic and permanent state of mind? How to prove otherwise ?

05:57 I still believe that I am the body, a person, I am not sure of being my real Self, I still feel anger, envy, jealousy, in spite of my constant spiritual quest. Can you please talk a little bit about it and help me with this?
11:37 If enlightenment is freedom from the feeling of being separate, then who is the one who is free from that feeling of separateness?
14:40 The heart sutra. Emptiness is form, form is emptiness.
Could the analogy of this teaching be that of lucid dreaming, that is, living completely this dream we call life, without attachment to or rejection of its content, but knowing and recognising at all times its dream nature?
17:25 If I am the Universe there is nothing that can be against what I want to do and I just have to see how I am blocking the power. On the other hand you says that there is nothing you can do but observe and taking away the idea that you are doing something. That there are no decisions that we make. How can you understand this two things?

19:54 As the Noumenon: does intention generate the phenomena that we perceive? Do we determine reality?

22:45 When we discarnate, does the mind remain the same or does it disappear?
When I meditate and the mind is silenced, I am like emptiness, I am nothing, is that correct?
26:13 If there is no separate self then there is no good or bad , war and peace is one because there is no separation. There is only one, unity, i.e. no one can die or live because the ego is illusory, (the person), therefore no one leaves a better or worse world. It is an illusory game and each character gives it reality, by believing ourselves a body, and a person with beliefs, prejudices, we judge the world.
I also believe that we don't have free will even if we recognise ourselves as a unit because there is no one there. I would love your advice, is it something like that?, or am I wrong?
30:29 Something has happened to me lately after contemplating, that I started having disturbing dreams. First I used to wake up with a fluttering heart but lately even though the dreams are disturbing when I wake up the heart stays calm but now I feel what I felt in the heart in the solar plexus.
34:18 How can we love the misfortunes of the world, the murderers, the rapists... Is there such a thing as evil?, and how can we love it, and the parts of ourselves that we don't like, do we love them?
39:22 Self inquiry: What are you?
51:30 Contemplation: Experience: Skin problem. I can't find the emotion. I feel disconnected from the world. Belief: I can cause harm to another being
1:12:15 Contemplation: Experience of losing consciousness, family history of Alzheimer. Emotion: Fear of not being in control, of losing consciousness when I meditate. Belief: I can lose control
