Tanx Sunny,for a lot of people, I hate that word lockdown, but a lot of people have been overwhelmed with fear 24 /7 for 2 years and 2 months in the news ,newspapers masks hysteria and plus their past trauma and now the new fears by the masters in America and Russia-Ukraine the big powers and again the ordinary people are again the pawns,any ideas for the ordinary people...🤝💚🙏🏻🔑👍🧘🏼♂️
Loved it!! A pure meditative experience... inspite of minds chatter!! if one is really looking for spiritual practice this is the one!! Thank you Sunnyji for your immense help in the right way! 👌👌💐🙏🙏🙏💐❤️
One thing that I've found powerful to completely shift my state of consciousness and also move forward in my life is to put my ATTENTION on CONSCIOUSNESS its self, and hold it there. Not to necessarily put my attention on any form in particular, put to put it on that Essence that we're all connected to. My mind either completely shuts off or I receive thoughts that are in alignment with my hearts desire. Great video Sunny! Thanks for being one of the people that inspires me to post videos every single day. Much Love 🙏

Truth
Very deep and truthful experience of meditation techniques . The vedios names should be Sakshi__ Witness Sunny Sunya sharm. My salute for your this divine teaching of Raman mahatodhri ji snd Nusargdattta maharaj.
Thank you so much for your videos … w just found you and your clarity so resonates with me … no matter what the world of changing thoughts is appearing as we are the timeless changeless Knowing Awareness undisturbed … even the sense of reaction or seemingly real actual experience of a thought doesn’t disturb ever-present changeless Awareness … wow … will stick with this and so appreciate your pure loving Clarity 💖🙏🏼💖
Thank you Sunny. I was navegating through your guided meditations to find the one I resonate the most. This specific one is so simple and perfect for me. I'll keep with this as my main practice. 🙏
On week four with meditation and I disconnect with the physical pain. I don’t feel the injuries that I once did. Also I keep showing up to meditation twice daily or sometimes I meditate during the day. I really appreciate it. Also noticed the anxiety i had is fading. I really appreciate your teachings. Thank you so much 🙏🏼

Good to hear :)
Even when attention goes out towards thoughts etc, there is still awareness of this. The identification with the experience of attention latching onto objects is the issue, not the attention going outward itself. I started to notice this when the mind wanted to make an issue of “failing” because attention going outward. Eventually I noticed, there’s knowing of this too. It’s all appearing in the infinite field. There’s an intuition that even the knowing is simply an appearance in the infinite field that will eventually dissolve until there is only what is, where things like “awareness” and “consciousness” are just concepts like everything else.
Thank u sir❤
Totally resonated 🙏🙏🙏 Thank you 🙏 Lots of love and blessings my Lord.
Pleasantly potent. Obsidian-scalpel-sharp, to the atom. Straight to the 'point.' No goofy New Age muzak. No spooky binaural beats. No slop. No dreck. No obnoxious Neo-Advaita ass-clown preaching. No 'cats eating cat-food' lip-smacking; voice tone and cadence well-measured and balanced. Good audio. Just straight-up clean Pointing, with blissful merciful silence, in between the pointings. _Most_ appreciated! Well done!

Hi Sunny thankyou sooo much for this practice 🙌🧘♀️ it was amazing! I was struggling with overthinking and this really quieted it down-I might have to try your meditation daily to get better, it feels super subtle the times I feel like I'm almost getting to that point of awareness, hard to explain! Also what you said about fear and doubt in every day with the breaks and accelerator on at the same time in life really resonated, thankyou so much for your teaching 🙌❤

Surrender is such a huge aspect of spirituality. Any type of need for control, progress, and novelty comes from fear and ultimately the mind. It will have you thinking you're "spiritual" and doing these spiritual practices but only for the minds agenda. Crazy.

Beautiful meditation to deepen my practice ! Knower,knowing, known are energy can u differentiate or comment

X good work
I have purposefully made experience that the mind cannot stand as a test of the ability to simply abide as the knowing of the experience. For my mind, it heavily dislikes both country music and death metal. I don’t know why, but if I make a playlist of these two genres and listen to them while meditating it seems to result in either a falling to the mind’s conditioning or a strengthening in abiding as the knowing. It seems like such a strange practice but one day I happened upon it by accident and it was amazing. Torturous for the mind though.
I always fall asleep

Priceless Such precise and clear communication I could do this practice in the early days when I was committed . But my mind convinced me that I am always awareness and I don’t need to practice! The obstacles hit home so close . Will commit to this with consistency. It also is important to keep a simple life .. hope I can solve the current crises to spend more time on this Thanks ! Lotsa love
❤✌️
What about hindrances such as dreaming state , visuals?
Much gratitude dear sunny.. I am practicing vippasana ... Where the awarness of sensation and breath and its imperment and impetsonal nature is taken into awarness understanding.... Since long i was also attracted to ramana mahrishis enquiry into " I AM" ... but didnt actively practiced it.... How can we assimilate both? ... Your answer will help me oreint my awarness Thank you
NICE :~)))
I follow this technique during sleep time, I follow your directions that lead me to sleep. Am I doing correct or wrong since I sleep while following the technique
“The wordless thoughtless acknowledgment that I am aware” holy shit..
Thank You Sunny, I have been practicing self-inquiry for a while and I have come to the recognition that I am not the objects and the feelings but I cannot give up that I am not this body. At last, when I'll die I finish being aware of.....Then the knower will end. On the other end if there is only couscuosness and it is not an object how to reach it spiritually? It is an oxymoron. If Thath wigh all the thig are made of is spirit is unmanifest.....how can how can I be able to feel infinite / ONE? And no one has ever returned (from the realm of death) to tell us "look dissolved in awareness and everything is still fine" ... in short, in the end it seems to me that everything is nothing. Thanks

It is surely worth the try
For some reason, I get really hung up on the word "surrender". I don't think I know what it means, really. I've been struggling with this for so long that just hearing the word has a terrible negative reaction, because it's like a secret code word that will never make sense to me, and then my mind decides that I can never make spiritual progress because I will never understand how to "surrender". It's sounds so silly and stupid, I am sure, but I could cry that one stupid thing acts as such an enormous obstacle.

You should find out and let us know :)
Here is one humble request you to my dear brother, you should give attention to your own development i.e. to understand what is actual meditation and dissolve there. After that if spontaneously there arises need of sharing with other this knowledge (how to do inquiry etc.), share it. But if you will go through the whole process completely, there will be no other and there will be no need of sharing anything. Try to understand my point and do not indulge in Maya, many sages remained silent even after they achieved highest (example Sh. Ranjeet Maharaj, sh. Nisargdatta Maharaj Guru Bhai remained around 50 years silent).
