Yoga Meditation: The Body is a Localisation of Consciousness
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 5 ต.ค. 2024
- In this yoga meditation we investigate the Localisation of Consciousness and discrepancy between our understanding of what we are and the way we feel the body. We are guided to examine the raw experience of the body thoroughly.

I began formal Zen practice 35 years ago. This is one of the most remarkable meditations I have encountered. 🙏
Agreed. Very accessible and immensely powerful. 25 years here. 🙏🏻
For Time being the one energy, is condensed into a form of body, but in reality I don’t really exist. Only empty luminous vibration exists, no form ....no shape ....no name..... A Single unlimited isness .peaceful self conscious awareness is dancing. As far as I am concerned Rupert makes it so easy for me to comprehend. Much love and appreciation to my beloved teacher thank you.🙏
Love to you!
😮😮😮😮p
His openness and honesty bleeds through my phone to my heart ❤️
Beautiful comment!
This is truly revolutionary material here. I love the fact that Rupert is so unapologetically radical, and yet talks down the "extraordinaryness" of the perspective, presenting it as simply natural and logical.
What a liberating contemplation uncovering experience from the labels and names and concrete thoughts that shape our perception of it. Revolutionary and freeing. What discoveries there are to be experienced!
I grasped something very profound during this meditation. I experienced by observing accurately the dissolving of the words sensation, feeling, pain, body, the other. In short I grasped "before the word" in the realization that all arises in awareness/consciousness. Thus the stuff all is made of is awareness. I also grasped that silence is the highest language and why. Thank you so much Rupert. You have a true gift to lead people on this inner pilgrimage for want of a better term.
It maybe a toss up whether he is the most articulate spokesman of the non dual path but he is the most eloquent and his frequent use of metaphorical imagery is nothing short of amazing.
Thank you for your amazing work
Completely agree that Rupert is profoundly eloquent. I'm curious though, who else do you include in the toss up?
@@ForTheAges I obviously can only speak from my own sense of eloquent pointing. That said, I find that Amoda Maa has a very rare and beautiful way of addressing the cutting edge of the confusion we have in how to see clearly this moment (not to take away from Rupert in any way).
I have but ONE teacher (with many faces). It could look like Rupert, or you, a cat, a handful of dirt, the warmth of the sun on my face......
And that is what Amoda points to -- that this moments experience, what ever is seen or felt, is the Truth we seek calling us home. Our job is to simply be open. She expresses this in a deeply heartfelt way. IMHO.
@@jamesthomas1244 perfect, thank you James, I will look her up. And yes, I'd agree that cats are adept teachers : )
Yes Rupert's work is very nice. You might like this text from bygone days.

Felt it again. All is one. Cannot describe my gratitude. Tears are flowing. Divine bath. ❤
RUPERT, YOU THE MAN!!!
LOVE UR VOICE ✨
SO SO SOOTHING 🎶🐬
Omg man. Rupert's meditations are so incredibly profound. I literally hallucinate and experience everything on a subatomic molecular level. Expanding into gargantuan beings that expand infinity. Outside reason but inside truth. RS's Teachings are timeless. After the mediation is "through" I feel like it's only been 10 minutes and it's been over an hour. The way that Rupert looks around at the end of this mediation is almost alien 👾 to watch. Love you all dont ever lose sight of how magical this experience of life is. ❤️.
Fell asleep multiple times during this lol
I had an insight that words are always wrong, incomplete, and inaccurate. No word could ever sum up a perception in its entirety. I can see this is true now for all words.
words essentially make us stupid
Alan Watts in essence said the following. Words are abstractions. Abstractions leave out information. The concrete does not. So, in essence consciousness is the most concrete as it leaves out no information. The only concreteness there is. So words aren't wrong, they just leave out information so you can have the illusion of talking about "things".
@@Rope257 It's like words can't do justice to real experience which is Awareness based. Someone can conjure up the most eloquent and delectable description of a sexual encounter but it's literally nothing compared to having experientially "tasted" it.
@@kwixotic Exactly. Eating the menu instead of the dish.
yes I had that insight a few months back too. He and many other spiritual teachers frequently mention the limitations of language and how no words can accurately describe the true nature of self and of our experience
Hi Rupert... I want to thank you for your videos. You and others like you have helped me on my path.... a path I was unaware I was on, until a couple of years ago when I started self inquiry. I've had many insights and some samadhi experiences, but yesterday I experienced a shift. I now know why I could not understand the meaning of grace. It's not something that you do or understand....... you simply surrender and you Are it. It's a very beautiful "thing." Many thanks.
Wonderfully put, thank you!
The kinder gentler Krishnamurti! Rupert, I can not thank you enough for allowing the world to have the chance to be exposed to this. My intellect is telling to to stop following this path you will wind up in some cult. But then the real me shines through.... realization... it's ok.
This was soo good! Thank you. It shifted me foreward!
Really I felt very calm. Mind stopped. Body became light and transparent. Thank you very much for transporting to the inner world. Namaste and Pranams.
Wonderful meditation
I feel like all I am is a vibration. Pulsing through the universe. ❤️❤️
I listened to this before bed and had the most insightful dreams.. about how the waking state is actually more the dreaming state, and how thoughts and dreams are the same. Everything was so clearly realized. Then come morning and the insights are sort of lost.. for now, will listen again ❤
Thank you so much Rupert for helping me to go deeper into the sensations and luminosity of awareness. Your ability to articulate the journey so clearly is astounding. Namaste.
I'm not my body. I never was. My life will never be the same.
Thank you Rupert for this meditation. I used to feel fear when I lost sense of my body when I sat for meditations before. This one is tremendously helpful in seeing through those experiences.
Hi Satya... finally nice to see someone from India following Rupert...😊
@@sudheerd3712
Tharun from Kerala, India
This is a wonderful meditation when there is continuous intense pain. It helps enormously.
I really enjoy these yoga meditations. Rupert seems like the kinda guy it'd be great to have a cup of tea with 🍵
I am having a tea at this moment.
Yes, tea would be the beverage. He often refers to "the taste of tea", but for some strange reason not the taste of coffee. Not then again, he is an englishman 😊
Whoa whoa whoa. Rupert has a way of transforming my perceptions of reality in the most profound ways. So grateful 🙏😌🙏
I just discovered Rupert. His voice is so soothing,makes me Sleepy but I want to listen. He reminds me of Eckhart Tolle and Jon Kabat Zin.
Your voice is so peaceful.
Epic meditation, fully immersed in "I amness" with my body being nothing but a cloud of various sensations floating inside me the awareness.
I cannot thank you enough for this wonderful yoga meditation
This one blew me away. Literally. I was a bit worried I wouldn't be able to piece my body back together again lol
thank you so much Rupert for blessing us with this meditation. 🙏
Right into the heart of everything!
This is incredible and seems so difficult! Great Blessings 2020 to All :) I will keep doing this until it "makes sense"!
How could I be more grateful?
Amazing beauty🙏🏽Thank you again and again for your way to express the words in to a so alive form.
So eloquently said. Thank you Rupert. ☺️🙏🏻
Thank you .... ❤️❤️❤️
Thanks. What an useful guided meditation. Best one I have encountered till date.
Thank you, Rupert💝
I have been so over stressed for along time that l cannot even meditate. Have a serious dental problem and l know l will wake early tomorrow so will listen to this to see will it work for me. Thanks.
Thank you so much Rupert! 😀
Wow, So grateful. 💞🙏🌺
Pranams 🙏😍..
beloved Rupert..🌷🇮🇳
Rupert's yoga meditations are wonderful, the only thing is, every time, when meditating with them, I always dose off towards the middle, I guess because they're an hour to an hour and a half long it's not always easy to stay alert...oh well hopefully the bits I've missed have still sunk in during the time period where I've dosed off! 🌝 Don't get me wrong, it's a lovely dreamy feeling, but that's not the idea to fall asleep...just the opposite. 🌝 Maybe with a bit more practice this won't happen quite so much?
You are not alone here.
Me too
When you understand that an ice cube will melt when you expose it to high temperature, why didnt it melt then?
Answer: either you're understanding is faulty or understanding alone wont melt it.
Because understanding the nature of reality has no effect on experience. That is how it is possible to have all those souls going through the motions of enlightenment over and over and over again
Thank you!
For anything to change it takes energy, even in non-doing .But even the tiniest amount is already spoken for. So,we face conundrum how to create exess energy and use it in meditation. But even that works only part of the way.
Thank you Rupert💕
Beautiful
Do Yog without thinking anything but concentrate at one point!!!
Very slow process but one can attain the best!!!
Do Pranayaam!!!
I love you, Rupert. You're such a spiritual badass.
What a trip, maaan
Far out
I’m just gonna send it
Merci Rupert
I spent 34 year without being conscious. I was a university lecturer during those days. How could this have happened?
Thanks very much 🌺
Hi Rupert,
Do you enjoy teaching to a crowd that is well versed in truth, or one that is fairly new to this?
Thank you for your teachings, they are a blessing.
Thank you Rupert
Meditation starts @ 29:25
Thank you 🙏
Thank you
Dear Rupert, I wish I knew what are you talking about ❤️💫
Wonderful
Consciousness according to consciousness is the seer and the seen. It is according to. Consciousness all there is to be whatever according to itself. Which is why it is consciousness vs consciousness.
Jesus loves you ❤️❤️❤️
Anxiety isn't letting me sleep until I compete my work... I shall complete my work, only then I'll allow me to sleep
I m not able to draw direct experience of sensation on paper, in order to do so I have to abtract the experience througt the mind, and freeze it, doing so...il becomes the experience of thinking...I have to put something in the nothingness in order to draw....
Gracias ☺ 💖
Start from 32:00
Thank you!
We like the world to make sense, and it does, but only in terms of the description we affix to it. Then we mistake the description for the world.
From the POV of infinite Possibilities (in forever ) there can be a possibility of a reality beyond Consciousness. - but can something transcend Pure existence??? We really only know very little...
Very Good !
Something I find a bit of a worry in my current acceleration (or is it a deceleration?) towards complete liberation, and/or dissolution, is that Rupert hath spake that it takes years to dissolve the deeply ingrained tensions or feelings and emotions in the body that keep the heavy fictitious self alive and well (or should I say dead, inert and not so very well at all. In fact, quite ill if I dare say...brings to mind, so to speak, a song called “The mind is a terrible thing to taste” - a play on the saying “The mind is a terrible thing to waste”). Should I despair that I may remain solidified and crystallized in the heaviness for quite some time? I don’t think my ego has a problem with that. By the way, I recently realized that the word “enlightenment” refers to a lack of heaviness rather than a shinning light of sorts. I patted myself on the back for realizing that.
But I do experience differences in 'size' in sensation. A little pain in my toe feels more located than the knot in my stomach. You'll need words to explain the feeling, but there is a difference in sensation which is not just intensity.
Rupert is the Messiah ;-)
@34:07 Drawn this sensation: ❤
What are your shifts in experience of doing this meditation ie seeing the body as a vibration in awareness? Has it helped you to release the identifications with the body, in what way?
uhh fr though for me it just helps me to feel the body thats all you need you dont need to release the identification of the body just feel the sensations of the body. aka THE PRESENT MOMENT and this shit will work out naturally trust me this shit will just work out naturally man
I have the same challenge...
SUNIL: What do You mean in what way?
🙄
Just do it.
You ask too much!
😠
Amen.
Hopefully, Rupert or someone can explain this: how does one remain in pure consciousness if one needs to do heavy/deep analytical thinking, for example, a computer programmer who is writing a complicated computer program or a mathematician/physicist who is trying to solve a difficult problem?
Check out Gary Weber. He held a demanding leadership role in his day job after waking up
Deep thinking and solving difficult problems happens naturally, here and now. I am thinking... I am engaged in difficult problems... Reality remains the same. Rupert might have said: mind is consciousness in motion, consciousness is mind at rest.
@@HolgerUs831 Been into nonduality for a while now. It all makes sense but I don’t know why the baseline feeling of awareness is pure love and bliss, would it not be completely neutral? Like as soon as babies are born are they not enlightened beings for a short time before they’re influenced by factors in the human form? Thanks for the vid!
@GSD07 Isn't nonduality beyond making sense.
Completely neutral (without doer, without investment) is happiness through peace of mind.
Conditioning and preferences are not a problem.
And there is also 'spiritual marketing' ... keeping things interesting for people to come back.
It was maybe Ramesh Balsekar who said that Sat Chit Ananda should have been called Sat Chit Shanti.
The 'bliss' being more of a Western mistranslation... it is more on the side of peace, which seems to come closer to your 'neutral'.
What is neutral?
From whose perspective?
Is someone doing neutral? No.
The neutral (the screen) -- our true nature -- is... beyond words; its Presence, its perfume is joy, happiness, clarity, peace...
Not only the baby, but also you are an enlightened Being... only temporarily distracted, alienated from the utter simplicity and naturalness of the obvious.
What an amazing unfoldment; God is a drama queen.
Sorry, I don't recall the video (-;
Did I share this: SatChitShanti.com?
Thank you for your reply.
Peace,
Holger

I love Rupert... But those pauses were WAY TOO LONG!!!!!!!!
it s a meditation.
Not really.
Or were they?? ;-)
His contemplative approach can readily result in what you take to be excessively long pauses.
Who is getting bored with doing nothing ?

REINFORCING this feeling of “being in a body IN a world” is the constant stress of money.We are so tied to money and it is killing me. This world belongs to bankers. I feel so trapped that money seems more important that air when you don’t have enough.
Is it true that you don't have enough money in the moment? The stress is caused by replaying your thoughts about a painful future in the now, it's a movie you're playing in your head, as Byron Katie would say, so you create your own suffering deriving from a sense of lack, the one the separate self experiences.

Which one of Rupert Spira book would you recommend 1st?
The Nature of Consciousness.
Being Aware of Being Aware
It’s short, direct and sweet! You actually wake up reading it. Now staying awake is another matter. 🤗
@@gfaber99 is there a book for what he is covering here, I don't get it...I guess I am trying yto understand it and it needs to be experienced, suggestions?
💙💙💙🙏
At 55.43 does Rupert say Alsatian?
He says, "Pulsation or vibration"
💟Thank🦋Y🦢u🪷Rupert🌅How Could l Have missed lT🌅Finally l 👁️See👁️"The Word l , Become " flesh " and dwelleth among us"🙏
Why would awareness want localisation of consciousness?
Why not?
I love these meditation s thank you but please stop using the word God, it is so loaded and these meditations are supposed to be aligning people with the truth that sets them free right? So what exactly Is meant by God? And could you please just use that in the meditation.
💞🙏🌺
epic.
He looks like Ayrton senna ☺
Rupert will not address the dichotomy of the finite experience
Oh he will

This is nothing remarkable - after all it is the very nature of bodily sensations that they don’t have a gender, border, a shape, a size. But they are certainly locatable within the body. I know that the tingling sensation is in my ear, on my arm, in my hands etc. If we tried this meditation using our visual perception of the body, we would see it does have an edge, a colour, a form, a size, a gender - but no feeling, no sound. Again , this is simply the nature of vision. How can such meditations reveal truth in our lived experience?
C'è ne fosse uno doppiato in italiano...
I appreciate what Mr Spira may be trying to say. However, given what the world is where babies are dying all over the place, and there is famine everywhere, in my humble opinion none of these theories hold any meaning.
I guess your missus does the washing in your house. The stain sometimes just stays right there where it is.

It’s as probable that my personal consciousness will survive the death of the material body that I inhabit, as it will be that the personal consciousness of an alligator will survive the death of the material body that he or she inhabits.
