9am to 1pm Pacific Time

“Truth Exalts a Holy Person” — The True Meaning in Today’s World

(4-hour Satsang for Returning Students**, Open to Anyone)

*Returning Students are students who have completed a 6-month program; have completed four 3-week programs; or who are invited personally by Neelam. Anyone is welcome and please understand this is an upper-level program.  Any questions, ask info@neelam.org

“Truth exalts a holy person” is a very direct and powerful statement that I heard Papaji speak many, many times.

It is a powerful reminder that what really matters in our spiritual search is what we go by, moment-by-moment and what we deeply hold and believe in in our Heart. This statement invites a measure of absolute Surrender and the willingness to give our full attention to and to give everything up for Freedom.

It may also invite the questions of what giving everything up for Freedom means, what is the true meaning of “Holy” and what does “Truth exalts a Holy person” mean practically?

Papaji spoke about “with Love and humility entering the cave of our Heart and waiting for the Beloved, our true Nature, to come and “choose us”.

We so often believe that reaching Awakening and Freedom is based on our effort. And even though initially it may feel like that it is truly the Innocence of our Hearts and the willingness to follow what directly arises within that attracts Truth to us.

In our daylong intensive I want to remind us of the true purpose of our life and foster a deeper Inquiry into what holds us back from ultimate Surrender and Freedom.

Let’s together better understand the true meaning of Holy and let’s grow in our Love of Truth.

Areas of Interest:

  • Awakening, Surrender and Freedom
  • What is a “Holy Person”?
  • How to grow in Surrender and Love of Truth moment by moment
  • True meaning of Truth exalts a holy person
  • What does it mean to give everything up for Freedom
  • Are you ready?🙂 to give everything up for Freedom
  • What in your life right now – and moment by moment – stops you from giving everything up for Freedom

Homework 1 page max  confidentially send to info@neelam.org 

  1. What is your understanding of a “Holy person” and what personal judgments / comparisons do you have with that?
  2. What does it mean for you to give everything up for Freedom?

Can we approach politics and the world from a place of Being Here?

What arises in the world and in our lives is not in our control❤. The responses that arise within us in the face of challenging events and situations are not in our control, even though we believe that they are.

What Happens When challenging events and situations happen, this very quickly sends our Nervous Systems into flight, fight, freeze. Then into overwhelm and collapse. This can be a paralyzing feeling — an experience of overwhelm. When the Nervous System is in the Freeze state it is hard to notice. Freeze is meant to contract and protect US from experiencing what is happening. It hides and instead we pay attention to thoughts, feelings and emotions. When our bodies cannot physically and practically respond to challenges we experience Powerlessness, Hopelessness, Helplessness.

What is Helpful When this freeze state happens, what is helpful is to look at what arises within — noticing the sensations that are present in our body. This is what I mean by the Missing Link: what we really want in the moment is to Be Here and we need a way to translate it into an actual action — noticing sensations — that help us Be Here. This is the Best way to communicate with your NS and to come Here and to recover “the Moment”.

There is a softening, an opening, a slowing down and we become more present which is what we really want — to be Here.

I will be speaking More in detail and practically about this in the upcoming 3-week program.

https://neelam.org/new-events/ Nervous System, Tenderness and Trust are all keys to our ability to be here and the Missing link between desire to be Here and being able to be in the moment.

Don’t Believe Anything!❤️ Find Peace & Love Now + practice with Neelam

There are many times when past arises and we believe that we have to Be a certain way, Do certain things, Act in a certain way in order to experience Peace and Love.

In reality and in truth, there is nothing we have to do and nothing we can do for Peace and Love because Love, our true nature, is already here.

The solution is not out there — doing, being acting. The solution is coming back Here and noticing what is already naturally present Here.

Remember this and surrender to this in the moment.

One of the obstacles to surrendering in the moment is when the past arises because often a sense of wrongness arises and this wrongness overpowers our thoughts and causes struggle.

We have to be strong and know it is not possible we did something wrong. Mistakes happen. That is normal and natural.

With kindness, take a moment and be strong in your resolve that it is not possible for anything to be wrong and that you do not have to Be, Do, or Act any particular way to experience Peace and Love.

Don’t Believe Anything for Love!

— Peace and Love are Already, Always Here —

Sundays: April 7, 14 and 21, 2024

10 am until 1 pm Mountain Standard Time

Peace is our true Nature and yet, moment-by-moment we experience a variety of happenings — inner and outer events — that potentially take our attention away from the ever present Peace.

These arisings and our identification with mind/ ego / I create an illusion of multitute and separation. We experience many objects and events and as our attention identifies with that we lose sight of the underlying spaciousness or substratum.

In Reality there is a continuing, unbroken peaceful spaciousness that is the backdrop of everything that arises and the only constant, unaffected by the arising experience.

Our habit of identification often prevents us from fully knowing this simple truth — Emptiness can’t be broken, nothing ever happens in Presence, and no matter what Peace and Love are already always here.

In this 3-week intensive, I want to keep bringing our attention to this underlying Truth of “Nothing Ever Happens”; keep addressing the capacity of our Nervous systems to Be Here; and want to keep identifying and addressing tendencies that make us believe that we need to “do“ or “be” a certain way for Peace and Love.

As we live in a body and in the World we may be subconsciously and consciously believing that we need to be doing something for Peace and Love.

Love, like Emptiness, is the expression and an aspect of our true Nature and in reality we don’t need to “do”, “be” in any particular way or believe anything for Love.

I am very much looking forward to our time together in this upcoming 3-week intensive.

With Love, Neelam

Realizing the True Nature of “I”- How to Awaken and Transcend Suffering in Today’s World

March 3, 10 and 17, 2024

10 am until 1 pm Mountain

When we look closer at the experience of “I” we realize that the “I” thought comes with many related thoughts and with a sensory experience that we accept as true.

We don’t question or investigate our reliance on the sense of “I” as it seems to be permanent, habitual, and very common.

Living in the World can reinforce our identification with the sense of “I” and especially in times of uncertainty and challenge that are so often common in life and especially in Today’s World.

What we don’t realize is that it is the very identification with the sense of “I” that is the cause of us experiencing Separation and Suffering.

The True Nature of “I” is Emptiness and Love that lie beyond this identification.

Once we can truly “see” and realize the true nature of “I”, we can move beyond this in our  moment-by-moment experience.

We can also learn to realize the reality or honesty of our experience. This, in turn, brings us closer to living and expressing our True Nature in all our actions, personal interactions, and in the World.

Nervous System triggers and the lack of our Nervous Systems capacity to Be Here often prevents us from successful Inquiry. We can deepen our understanding and experience of the Nervous System and grow our ability to recognize and address triggers that inevitably arise here.

In this 3-week intensive we will be looking at addressing triggers and growing capacity in the Nervous System to Be Here and at all the manifestation of “I” that can lead us to believe that the “I” is solid and real and we will investigate the “I”’s True Nature directly.

I am very much looking forward to our time together. 

With Love, Neelam

Areas of Interest**:

  • -What is “I”?
  • -Inquiry into the nature of “I”
  • -The habit of identification

Fire Within — How to Make Presence a Priority in Today’s World

January 14, 21 and 28, 2024

10 am until 1 pm Mountain

There is a Fire that always burns Within your Heart, a Fire that is our True Nature …It is a Fire that does not burn the physical form and yet it burns through Illusions to reveal Our own magnificent Nature…that Fire is always Here and our devotion to it takes us to Awakening and Freedom. 

Living in Today’s World our attention can easily move with the challenges that arise — both individually and collectively — and there are many!

How can we make Presence a priority? How can we recognize and cut through the patterns of the mind?

In this 3-week intensive I will be speaking more about Fire Within — the true meaning of it and about the meaning of Devotion to it and of how addressing the Nervous System and brain is part of Devotion as well.

I want us to strengthen practically giving it our attention regardless of — or maybe because of — all that is happening in our lives and in the World.

I also want to speak about an aspect of being in the World as

Being in the World means being Relational. 

Be it at home; with family and friends; at work; or at any other time, becoming present and conscious of the way that we relate and where we come from relationally strengthens our Abidance in Presence.

Let’s keep making Presence a priority in all aspects of Life!

I am very much looking forward to our time together.

With Love, Neelam

Areas of Interest**:

  • Fire Within
  • Devotion and How Fire Within burns through the Illusion of the Mind
  • Practice and Inquiry

  • Being in the World means being Relational 
  • Conscious relating as an extension of Presence
  • How Patterns of the Past that come up Relationally are an amazing opportunity for Freedom

Is Everything Ok just the way It Is?

Navigating Today’s World and the Path to Awakening

December 3, 10 and 17, 2023

10 am until 1 pm Mountain

Okayness is such a powerful manifestation and expression of our True Nature. Knowing that in Truth, Everything is Ok just the way it is is the very essence of Awakening. It can also though be the most misunderstood and misinterpreted spiritual statement.

Following up on our deeply impactful exploration of Trust and Surrender, I want to clarify the true meaning of Okayness and experientially dive into its powerful way to cut through the Mind.

This has the power to Awaken and to establish us in the Heart of Presence.

Is Everything Ok just the way it is?

This can be a challenging question in the midst of World events and in the midst of what arises in your life and internally.

I invite you to join me in this 3-week intensive and explore deeply this very powerful Inquiry.

Let’s see how this question can serve you to find Peace in your daily life and quicken your way to Awakening.

I am very much looking forward to our time together.

With Love,
Neelam

Join Us November 5 and 12

10 am until 1 pm Mountain

Trust and Surrender may be two of the most important qualities for living in Today’s World and for Awakening yet they may also be the most challenging and the most misunderstood.

In this program we will discover how Trust and Surrender go hand-in-hand in growing our ability to live in Today’s World and for Awakening.

We don’t always realize how our Past experiences — tendencies of the past that I call conditioning — and the current events of our individual and collective lives affect our ability to Trust and understand how to allow ourselves to move into Surrender. 

___________

Have you also ever wondered why your spiritual search is not moving forward or why the practices you have been doing or the teachings that you have followed don’t “stick” or don’t give you the Peace and Freedom that you are really looking for?

___________

A big part of it may be a misunderstanding or lack of the ability to directly experience Presence. Ultimately, we don’t realize EXPERIENTIALLY that what we are looking for is already Here?❤

The other part is how, especially in the midst of the events of life, we rely on the unfinished tendencies of the Past which takes our attention away from Presence.

We need to grow our Discrimination and learn how to be present in the most difficult parts of our experience including all areas related to Trust and Surrender.

Since there is no separation between our “spiritual” and our “human” life and past, Trust and Surrender are the qualities that require an actual experience and with the right “resources” and “information” in our Nervous Systems and brains.

In this program we will look broadly and experientially at issues around Trust and Surrender for Living in the World and for Awakening.

I am very very much looking forward to our time together.

Video: Awakening and Embodiment — Question and Answer from Neelam

Written by admin. Posted in Listen

Awakening and Embodiment — Neelam answers a question from a student.

Q: Is Embodiment a path to Awakening?

A: This is an excellent inquiry and Neelam would not phrase it like this because:

Awakening is a movement away from identifying oneself as any thing. And this includes identifying oneself as this body.

In the process that leads to Awakening, our attention moves more and more and more inward away from the identification, away from the gross perceptions in which we perceive our world as solid objects which includes our body.

We are not any of the objects that arise Here including our body.

Who we are is beyond everything we think, we believe or experience.

Neelam explains her definition of Embodiment as a Congruence between what we know in moments of Silence — that Everything is Ok just the way it is — and what we know when patterns of the Past arise…when everything tells that nothing is ok. Inquiry into these Patterns of the Past, into these beliefs is a very powerful way to Embody what we know is true, to know again the Okayness of Everything as is and it is a powerful way to come back to Presence.

Embodied Presence shows up very differently in our interactions in relationships, at work and in general in the World.

10 am until 1 pm Mountain

“Don’t build in the transit lounge” Papaji used to say,
“we are all just passing through to our final destination.… ” 

This means don’t look for Permanence in the passing events of this life?❤

Our focus on this life and on what we experience moment-by-moment can take away from the real and true vision.

The current events of our lives cannot give us the sense of permanence or stability and grounding that we are looking for.

Even though there is the relative importance (and very real in its own way ?) of our moment-by-moment experience and our ability to Be Here, Freedom is Our Final Destination!❤

This is true moment-by-moment in this life and beyond…this is also true before and after Awakening.

We also want to see, understand and remove the impediment of “seeker” and “search”.
For many on the spiritual path unconsciously “seeking” and “search” become the focus and the effort that takes attention away from the Direct Experience of Presence.

This is true for many on the spiritual path which often results in the inability to sustain the effort of “seeking” and results in disappointment and dissatisfaction.

That is even true at times for those of us who know Presence Directly and even after Awakening.

Join me in this upcoming program where we can reaffirm and experience together that Freedom is our Final Destination!

I want to invite you to bring a variety of questions and some topics for sharing and for us to enjoy this opportunity to connect even more. 

With Love,

Neelam

Written by admin. Posted in Programs

A special series of programs focused on addressing

our most familiar patterns.

Patterns that we mistake for who we are!

New Students! Join us for Weeks 2 and 3 for Only $85

We’d Love to Have You Join Us for Weeks 2 and 3

Week 1: Sunday, August 13 | Week 2: Sunday, August 20 | Week 3: Sunday, August 27

(10 a – 1 p Mountain Time)

This 3-week program is an invitation to Freedom❤ and a continuation of our “For Freedom, Don’t Believe Anything” theme ?❤

I want us to both deepen our Inquiry into Presence, our True Nature, and to clarify more in depth the common misunderstanding between the Absolute knowing that all there is is Presence and the Relative knowing of what is Present and needed in our moment-by-moment experience.

In short, ?I want to clarify the meaning of Embodiment and of How to Be Here when we are acting / interacting in the World. 

Most of all I want to invite you more profoundly into the realization that there truly is no separation and to let that realization penetrate even more deeply your moment-by-moment experience and the wholeness of your life. 

I am very much looking forward to our time together.

With Love,

Neelam

Week 1: Sunday, July 23, 2023 | Week 2: Sunday, July 30, 2023

(10 a – 1 p Mountain Time)

As our Love for Truth and our Desire for Awakening and Freedom keeps growing I want to invite you into a new and deepening focus for our programs this Summer and Fall.

This series of programs will focus on addressing you more individually as we grow in our desire for Truth and Awakening and in our reliance on Presence.

In particular, I would like to bring awareness to and make more visible the tendencies that we believe are “us”, and highlight and explore the true and believed “reasons” behind our reliance on those tendencies/ patterns rather than on Presence.

This brings us both into a deeper reliance on Presence and significantly strengthens our Discrimination. It would also show us the elements necessary for Awakening that need strengthening in your experience!

Areas of Interest for this Series of Programs:*

  • Presence & Awakening
  • Love of Truth & what is Freedom
  • Where YOU are with regards to your Trust of Truth and your Embodiment of Truth (two key elements necessary for Awakening)
  • What stops YOU from Trust
  • What stops YOU from Awakening
  • What areas of YOUR experience/practice need more care and attention right now
  • Tendencies that are “near and dear” to us that we mistake for Truth or for our True Nature
  • What fuels the “reasons” that stop you from Awakening and from following what you know is True
  • Movement from Presence versus movement from the Past

*Topics that Neelam may address in this program. Topics are dependent on the flow of the program and interest from the students.

Homework

Please answer these questions before the program starts (1 page maximum) and send confidentially to info@neelam.org 

1. What would it mean for you to Awaken?

2. When challenges arise, what are your favorite judgments/ stories that you go into? Describe your top 1-2 judgments /stories.

Video!  ? For Freedom Don’t Believe Anything! ?

Written by admin. Posted in Programs

Video recorded May 30, 2023  ? For Freedom Don’t Believe Anything! ?

June 11, 2023 begins a new 3-Week Program | For Freedom — Don’t Believe Anything!

A Special Series…beginning in June, continuing through Fall, of programs focused on addressing the most familiar tendencies that we mistake for who we are!

Register Today! We’d Love to Have You Join Us!

https://neelam.org/june-2023-three-week-program/ Sundays, June 11, 18 and 25

A Variety of Sliding Scale Prices Available | New Student Discount: Free for Week 1 or all 3 Weeks for only $85

From Video: If Freedom is what we really want, we have to be willing to give up everything so that we can be Here in this moment, moment-by-moment. This is the True Meaning of Surrender: the mind merging in the heart.

When we hear this, giving up everything, the mind may get a hold of this thought and we start to imagine what giving up everything means. Misunderstanding happens when we grasp it with our limited understanding and by doing so we create more suffering.

The beauty is that when we renounce the mind/give up reliance on the mind which is a True Renunciation.

In the June 3-week program — For Freedom, Don’t Believe Anything! — we will directly and specifically identify and address these tendencies that we believe are who we really are.

Video!  ‘Reasons”and Yes and No -The end of Suffering♥️?

Written by admin. Posted in Uncategorized

Video!  ‘Reasons” and Yes and No -The end of Suffering♥️?

“Reasons” and Yes and No – End of Suffering

Clarity arises in the moment. 

Clarity may not be convenient or what we like, or what we think others will like.

But the clarity is here. 

You can start to observe the “reasons” that come up that tell you that you cannot follow the clarity.

Sometimes these reasons are very conscious but sometimes they are on the edge between conscious and subconscious – habits we have learned and formed as part of our survival strategy. 

We can want it to be different (the definition of suffering) or we can learn to accept it. This way we can be guided by what is in the moment and not on what is based on the past. 

If not aware of it, start paying attention to the reasons that arise. Thoughts such as:

It’s not ok

It’s wrong

What are others going to say or think?

We often subscribe to these reasons out of habit. 

Take a moment and remember a very recent situation in which there was a clarity in your experience in the moment and that this is the way things are. 

Will be looking at this more in our programs

You can still register for weeks 2 and 3 ?

Areas of Interest:*

  • Awakening
  • True independence from the Past
  • Capacity of the Nervous System to Be Here & how it relates to Patterns of the Past

Description:

Sahaja Sthiti is the sacred movement that arises prior to the mind. Just hearing the words “Sahaja Sthiti” is something that Awakens and pulls our attention deeper into Presence.

More and more we are able to recognize this Independent movement in the moment. And yet consciously or not we so often still listen to “reasons” that tell us why we can’t just Be Here or Awaken and so often as well, when Past arises and takes our attention away from Presence we struggle to recognize and deal with the way the Past affects our Nervous Systems and its capacity to Be Here.

We often still don’t know quite how to recognize and address the symptoms and  patterns of the Past and Trauma and often struggle to regain our attention and awareness of the Moment.

In this 3-week program and in the next few programs as well I want to devote our time together to both nurturing the deep recognition of Presence and to learning more about how to recognize, become present to and Transform patterns of the Past and our so often unconscious allegiance to “reasons” why we can’t Be Here or Awaken.

I am very much looking forward to our time together. 

With Love, 

Neelam

Dear Satsang,

Sahaja Sthiti is the sacred movement that arises prior to the mind.

Just hearing the words “Sahaja Sthiti” is something that Awakens and pulls our attention deeper into Presence.

More and more we are able to recognize this Independent movement in the moment.

And yet consciously or not we so often still listen to “reasons” that tell us why we can’t just Be Here or Awaken and so often as well, when Past arises and takes our attention away from Presence we struggle to recognize and deal with the way the Past affects our Nervous Systems and its capacity to Be Here.

We often still don’t know quite how to recognize and address the symptoms and  patterns of the Past and Trauma and often struggle to regain our attention and awareness of the Moment.

In this 3 week program and in the next few programs as well I want to devote our time together to both nurturing the deep recognition of Presence and to learning more about how to recognize, become present to and change patterns of the Past and our so often unconscious allegiance to “reasons” why we can’t Be Here or Awaken.

I am very much looking forward to our time together. 

with Love,

Neelam

Description

Papaji used to speak about a Decision for Freedom and as we Welcome the New Year, I want to both renew ! and clarify this statement!

When there is an appearance of choice — choose Being Here, choose Presence, choose Freedom!

We spoke about and experienced so much in the past few months regarding “You are not the Doer” ? and we also spoke about a certain spiritual misinterpretation or misunderstanding…

Sometimes we take that statement on as a belief, as a thought — we then think that it means “I don’t have to do anything”!

When there is true choiceless Awareness there is no question of doing or choice. ?

When it appears that we have a choice let’s consciously make a Decision for Freedom!

We will spend the beginning of this New Year in Satsang and will also do some simple singing to Celebrate!

I want to invite you all to come together ?♥️ and I am very much looking forward to our time.

With Love,
Neelam

Description

Moment by moment, as we experience the mind’s projection of what we call our life ?♥️, we grow more familiar with it and so, more attached to it as well.

The familiarity, and the mind’s perception of it, makes it appear so very solid and so very real. 

And yet there is the underlying solidity of Presence that invites us to keep shifting our attention to a very different Reality…Reality that takes us into the inevitable and so powerful Impermanence of all experience — and to know and rest in the two powerful aspects of our True Nature – Emptiness and Love.

In our upcoming 2-week intensive, I want to bring full circle our several weeks-long exploration of Doership and Karma/ Destiny and come back to the simplicity of resting and finding ground and solace in Impermanence of all experience, and to the very powerful and experiential description of the Awakened State. ” When I know that I am Nothing — that is Emptiness. When I know that I am Everything — that is Love. And between those two my attention moves.”

We will be speaking about other things as well; please see our areas of interest.  I am very much looking forward to our time together.

With Love,
Neelam

Description

Over the past 3 months  we have been diving more deeply – and with great curiosity and success ?♥️- into the questions of Doership, Karma and what it means to Remove obstacles to Awakening. 

These topics bring up a deeper level of awareness and questions for you, and in the upcoming program, I want to continue. 

It is so important to address these deeper questions, as this is often where the resistance to Full Trust in Presence resides.

I want to continue our in-depth exploration in this 3-week program, with the addition of a deeper understanding of the Nervous System and brain, as for many of us, it is the activity or the reactivity of the Nervous System that takes our attention from Being Here.

Today’s World presents us with many challenges and that can take our attention away from Presence.  Let’s together make sure that we grow in Direct Experience, in the Right Understanding and in our Love of Truth and Trust.

With Love,
Neelam 

Homework -1 page max confidentially send to info@neelam.org

Description

In our last two programs we have been exploring and enjoying the deeper, more direct aspects of knowing ourselves as Presence — and there’s really nothing more powerful to know that than our own Direct Experience.

I want to continue this deep and direct exploration in our upcoming 3-week program, also including a little more information about the Nervous System and Brain for students who are newer to me.

We will be diving even more deeply into Presence and into the very powerful exploration of “Are you the Doer?” and the “Who am I?” Inquiry.

The question of Doership brings up a lot for most everybody — which is great ?♥️ and the role of Satsang ? — and the misunderstanding can go both ways — either not realizing experientially or directly  the Truth of the statement “we are not the Doer “or using “I am not the Doer” as a thought that conflicts with or contradicts the natural movement that arises here.

I want to remain in this very experiential and practical exploration with you.

I  also want to continue with many of the themes from the last program that we did not have a chance to address fully — karma/ destiny and free will, dreams/ visions and the role of the Teacher in Awakening etc.

I also want to take some time for you to experience the very direct and powerful “Who am I ?” Inquiry.

Ramana Maharshi, after some years of quiet absorption in the Natural State — our True Nature — and in response to a question and a desire for instructions from a disciple who was moved by the deep state of Silence that Ramana was immersed in has written the instruction to the very direct and powerful “Who am I?” Inquiry. 

It is yet another very direct way to know the Truth of the statement “I am not the Doer” and I am very much looking forward to sharing this with you as well as to our time together. 

With Love,

Neelam 

Homework -1 page max confidentially send to info@neelam.org 

1.What is your experience of Doership?

How do you hold that question / understanding in your moment by moment  experience? 

2. What is your experience of asking yourself the question — as you are sitting here, right now, can anything be different in your experience?

3. What is your experience of asking yourself the question of — as you are sitting here, right now is anybody doing this?

Please share anything else you would like me to know re: these questions and your experience around — “I am not the Doer”.

Description

Sahaja Sthiti also called the intuitive sense or the 6th sense is a natural movement that arises in Presence and that guides our actions without engaging the mind or … prior to the mind’s movement.

The activity that arises in this state directly contradicts the notion of “I am the doer”.

This notion is also very directly disproved by our direct investigation “Is anybody doing this?” moment-by-moment.

This 3-week intensive, designed for returning students and open to all is a continuation of our intensive on Emptiness and Love.

Let’s keep expanding into Emptiness and Love and diving into the direct experience of Presence  and into the very direct knowledge of Self that guides all movements.

I am very much looking forward to our time together.

With Love,

Neelam
