So many of us live in the paradigm of trying to get things right. We frequently reflect on situations and think, “I should have done that or said this!” In this talk, Mukti shows us what it takes to step out of a self-controlling, self-critical inner swirl and how to move from the obvious knowing that arises from the quietude of our natural being. By functioning from a resonance of clarity, we discover a peace of mind that is at rest regardless of situational outcomes or the way life unfolds. | |
New Teaching Video Excerpts | |
Along with the full-length complimentary audio download and new teaching excerpts above, we have curated a collection of Adya’s and Mukti’s teachings with the subject of Happiness. We hope that exploring these will help you meet what is unfolding in your own life. Follow these links: | |
