no practice has been this powerful for me. Keeping the attention on the pure sense of Being, or the 'I AM' is completely changing my experience of existence. My essence is becoming more clear, my understanding of self is becoming more clear in a way that I cannot adequately describe in words. And this is the most simple thing, just giving attention to the sense of your own presence. What could be simpler? and yet it can give you pure and direct knowledge of the source of Consciousness and can put you into such deep states of bliss and peace that you just want to return to that state all the time. Starting this practice initiates a process in which the illusory sense of self drops away because you are giving your attention to the authentic sense of Being and not to concepts you have of your "person". It has taken practice and effort to keep my attention on the sense of Being and at first I needed to remind myself and point myself to the sense of presence with words, telling myself mentally "go to the I AM". But now I no longer have to use words, I can automatically be in that space and an incredible peace ive never felt before is emerging in me. It is incredible. Of course there are distractions because life demands activity of us but I can't explain how this is beginning to affect my inner state of being. I have no desire to engage in any other path or practice at the moment. Meditating and resting in simple and pure Being is the highest way I can conceive of. God bless this discovery, glory to the highest supreme Being. Let all find rest and peace in the Heart.
Mark henry. I agree completely. It's like I could have written those exact words. I'm so happy to read that. Please keep in touch.I'd like to hear how your experience is a year from now.
otter rivers otter rivers wonderful, friend. A few day’s after writing this very comment something very tragic occurred in my life. It seemed to knock me off of my course, although I recognize that what we truly are is eternal and unchanging... nevertheless I lost touch with my practice and became depressed. But even through this there has remained a light in my heart and I would periodically acknowledge it, but quickly the depression seemed to sweep my attention back into the drama of the false self. Things are improving now, relatively speaking, and I am beginning to return to my practice and feel deeply connected to Being once again. I know that this occurrence has only been sent to strengthen my spirit and connection to our shared essence, for the increase of love and gratitude. I would love to keep in touch and share my experience with you as I continue in contemplation, and I would also love to hear about yours as well. Stay well my friend, always peace to you.
Great to hear your positive words .. with gods grace you have been able to get back to your practices .. am new to these meditations. So was looking for a little more on the process .. how do you reach that space of IAM and stay there .. isn’t that again mind THINKING something .. is it a feeling you hold on to ? Am a little confused.
"The "I am" in the body form can reach the highest state, only if you understand, accept it, and dwell there. Then you escape birth and death". The word "accepts" strikes me here. I wonder to what degree challenges with acceptance, even subconsciously and despite one's best intentions, hinder awakening?
Yess - it’s True - please Realise it -them let us Met in India this year - we are make a Huge movement like Gandhi - Called ONE - to overwelm the „ Bad“ forces behind Covid19/20/21
Jonathan Negus Do not worry about awakening. Just dwell on the sense of being (I AM) and forget everything else said in the audio or anything else. Good luck.
@@anityasufi4079 I was told that having a concept or idea of “awakening,” even if I can’t identify what it is exactly, is an obstacle. Equally, obstacles are the path, also, there are no obstacles, obstacles are delusion. Nothing but what we call paradox in the world of spiritual life.
Yes! To THAT 😊. The most direct teaching I have ever experienced- on my 12 year awareness journey. This dissolves everything! My fav quote of Nisargadatta’s “Wisdom is knowing I Am nothing, Love is knowing I Am Everything, and between the two my Life Flows!” 😊 So True & Beautiful 💜
You read well, with inflection and timing, slowly and with great pauses; and your voice is pleasant. The calmness and authority of your rendition befits the grandeur of the text. Thank you very much 🙏💛
Hello beloved reader of this message.I am still here with you listening often to these unbelievably gracious gifts. We have no idea how fortunate we are to have access to hundreds of videos such as this. Because they are so numerous, we tend to devalue them, but rarity is not the measure of value. I like to pretend whatever I'm listening to us the ONLY video available. How much more diligently would we listen! Thank you thank you. I know I cannot appreciate this enough! I'm babbling now. Haha. just Thank you and (1 more time) Thank You!
I was thinking about the first time I experienced the self and weirdly enough I started to play this...I remember when I was a very young child trying to make sense of the world around me ,I was looking at my parents talking to my aunt and uncle and trying to figure what they were saying because to me it sounded like mixed garbled sounds, the only sound I recognised before that moment was my name, at that point I had a subtle experienced of the self, after that everything has been a dream,(the mind was born)... only the past few years I have tried to return to that Beautiful moment and know deep down it is possible...its like jumping on a trampoline to look over a fence you only get a glimpse of what is on the other side...but i know one day I will find a door...this is my journey ..God bless you on your journey 🙏
Reading each and every comment here makes me realize that so MANY of us know that we are already there where we always were. This moment is absolutely perfect and needs nothing else.
Dear Samaneri Jayasara, deep gratitued for your energy, your precious work, your calming and beautiful voice. Your effort is much appreciated. It brings calm mind, joy, love and light to the world. Thank you for making us better human beings🙏 wish you all the best. 💚
Aww I melted in my heart when I heard this video. Precious! Words cannot describe the attitude of gratitude of these words. Thanks for sharing, very powerful video.
I AM. That's it. Just pin all the attention on it, not being in the body mind state, but in the knowledge of the understanding of it. Rest will follow suit. ❤️❤️❤️❤️. Oh, this is the ultimate knowledge, as it frees you from it. Why? Because you were prior to it. Superb. 🙏🙏🙏🙏. Thank you infinitely for this elixir of life. 🙏🙏🙏🙏
The speaker is amazing!!! She sends me to another place. Really incredible. She knows what she describes, it is evident in her voice transmission. Thank you so much
Sharing of this experience is such a benevolent act .. that no words can communicate...only to relax simply...without any weight of words...thanks to Divine Power for communicating ...what can not be caught within the periphery of language. Pranam
great merits have brought this in to the life. be aware of the rareness of hearing dhamma . may all beings share in our good merits and hear dhamma 🙏 let us lift our minds up and go past the world ... for it is possible for letting go to occur.
Oh wow ..suddenly everything makes sense .. all my questions have been answered ... I kinda knew this.. suspected it all along... just got the validation ... I thank each and every soul that I met and each moment that formed my memory and shaped my destiny .. the good,the bad, the pleasurable, the painful ... The universe is not out there.. But in here.. what is out there is just an appearance of 'Iam' by the 'Iam' that you can worship in any form/any name you choose. Jai Ma! Help me transcend the 'I am' FYI... There is just one line in Bhagavat Geeta that sums up this whole video ... It is from the second chapter where Arjuna asks Krishna about the nature of the 'enlightened' one ..and Krishna says 'Atman evatmana tushtaha ..stitaph pragnya tadotchyate' ... ie ..'the person who delights in the self and self ALONE .. he is called the man of steady wisdom' 🙏🙏🙏
Sooooo.... Am I the I am or am I beyond the I am. Being the I am felt like a focus but now its been changed up to I'm not the I am at all. Guess I'll just go with what I am resonates most. I am now going back to I amming 🙏🏼

I sleep to Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj's every night! You reading these is a divinely holy experience! These have saved my life! ♥️🙏🐛🦋
Seems like there is nothing else I want to do anymore except be in this state
This is the best one. The whole shebang. Just pay attention to the I Am as much as you can all your waking hours. That's it. ❣❣❣ Thank you.

This is The Highest Teaching..
Every Thing vanishes in THAT..
Including the thought I Am..
The Eternal pov is.... Pure Awareness is..
🙏🏼😌☀️💜🌅
The IAM is the first ignorance, persist on it & you will go beyond it...I freakin love this🤩❤️
😑
Ahhhh. The first knowledge, and the first ignorance. The beginning of duality. So clear. So perfect. The doorway is open...... 💓 💘
This Statement is so radical, its only for true seekers as it vanishes everything
Yes! To THAT 😊. The most direct teaching I have ever experienced- on my 12 year awareness journey. This dissolves everything!
My fav quote of Nisargadatta’s “Wisdom is knowing I Am nothing, Love is knowing I Am Everything, and between the two my Life Flows!” 😊
So True & Beautiful 💜
As Eckart Tolle said, the silence that follows I Am is closer to who you are than anything else.
To the one reading this God bless you with his best blessings ❤️
And you 🙏🏻
Yes. And to you both.
Bless you and all of us -I AM's 🐛🦋🫡♥️🌻💎🙏🌹🧘♀️🥳

Truly a hidden treasure discovered
Well said, Sun.

I always hear what I need to hear when its time to hear it. Peace to u all. Thank you
The best TH-cam channel!Thank you!
13:35 “When this concept ‘I Am’ departs, there will be no memory left that ‘I was’, and ‘I had those experiences’. The very memory will be erased.” 😌
that's the best part....all the illusions disappear!
What is the illusion? What we know or what we don't know.
What we are has to be apperceived... not known.
I cant evn remmbr wth happened yestrday, but just minute glimpses only, that mind try hard to create. Lol

Much Gratitude 🙏🙏🙏
The mind is the conduit for getting past the limitations of the mind because our karma clouds the judgements of the mind.
You do a great service.
thanks so much. really great.
Great.... Beyond words
The first I am, she mentions is the vertical I, ego. The second I am is consciousness. The one, who is focussing on the I am is That...
Love this, and such a soothing voice 😌 ❤
Namaste thankyou
Thank you again, Samaneri.
GREAT time!
True, awesome thanks for the vedio
Wonderful.Thank you. The speaker and sounds are perfect. Very grateful. Love peace and joy .
The very best of these videos so far! Thank you!
"Firmly believe in the dictum:
I Am That by which I know I Am"

Wonderful beyond description 🙏
Thank you so much for bringing this to my ears.
Thank you 🙏❤️💰😘

Sooooo.... Am I the I am or am I beyond the I am.
Being the I am felt like a focus but now its been changed up to I'm not the I am at all.
Guess I'll just go with what I am resonates most.
I am now going back to I amming 🙏🏼
Blessings for your silent retreat may it be precious I look forward to you again 🙏
You are getting much praise and well deserved that is good to separate yourself leave it all for a while and go deeper
Thank you
Thank you 👃💖🌈🔱
Thank you for this meditation.it is really helping me to be still
In self inquiry, listening to this, I Sean ask
“Who” wants to be free, who is seeking enlightenment?”
No one is there, just silence.
So then “who is this that is silence?”
The great zen question:
“What am I?” and or “who am I?”
Bodhidharma answered when asked:
“I don’t know.”
If there is no separate self, “who” is directing attention to the I Am?
“Who” is sitting, meditating, seeking?
Who? Who? Who?
“For one who has realized the knowledge I am has also transcended it. For them there is no birth or death.”
“Who” realizes the knowledge?
Enlightenment is the ego’s biggest disappointment. The ego wants to be there for its own enlightenment 😡😆

Hello 🤗
When we begin to give attention to the IAM SENSE at first it is clear and easy to hold that sense but gradually all dissolve and get lost in nothing but somewhere feels there is still attention
