This episode explores the key difference between a quiet mind and a fully stopped mind. Using the analogy of phase transitions, this episode reveals why stopping the mind opens an entirely new state of awareness and why ancient yogic teachings point to this shift as the true doorway to Samadhi, which is not the end but the beginning of the spiritual journey.

In this episode of Seeds of Awakening, I share the luminous dream and seven life-changing words that shifted my meditation from passive waiting to active discovery.

Explore how a personal mahavakya, a visionary encounter with Bhagawan Nityananda, and pivotal guidance from Mark Griffin helped me transform my inner practice—and how the same shift can open profound experiences in your own meditation

Is it possible for a few simple words to crack open the mind and spark a lasting shift in your spiritual journey?

Yes. And that’s exactly what I explore in this first episode of Seeds of Awakening.

Key moments of insight—your own small “ah-ha” realizations—can become true seeds of awakening when met with clarity and presence. Here, I share how stopping the mind (not merely calming it) opens the door to real meditation, and how to recognize the Mahavakyas—those great utterances—that arise in your own experience.
