Shiva As Presence Pt 2




Self-effort and attention outside of meditation.

  • Self-effort and attention in Sri Ramana Maharshi's teachings.

  • Using mindfulness and expanding awareness to transmute thoughts without judgment.

  • Expanding awareness allows for unfiltered creative solutions.


Vedic meditation and its role in personal evolution.

  • Personal growth through meditation community (Sangha).

  • Vedic meditation as a "Shiva technique" for letting go of past impressions and mental tendencies.



Meditation and staying present to dissolve form and connect with the essence of consciousness.


  • How stepping out of thought form leads to the Shiva realm, where form dissolves and essence remains.

  • Dissolving form through meditation helps integrate subtle essence, keeping us grounded in the absolute while engaging in the relative.

  • Shiva as presence and dropping resistance through acceptance of what is.

  • How to stay rooted in expanded awareness while engaging in the world of form, citing Bhagavad Gita and inner body sensations as anchors.

  • The practice of grounding attention in an anchor while conversing with others helps break identification with form and stay rooted in expanded awareness.



Meditation, consciousness, and transmuting past experiences into awareness.

  • Uncovering layers of consciousness through meditation can sometimes seem like internal insanity.

  • The importance of self-awareness and transmuting past impressions into consciousness.

  • Acknowledging the difficulty of this work, giving ourselves credit for facing buried emotions.
