Shakti Caterina Maggi points directly to the essence of what we are and invites us to rediscover the divine Self in the core of our own humanity. Overcoming fear and illusion is to wake up to the extraordinary beauty of the moment and be the true embodiment of Consciousness itself in human form. She has been sharing a message of awakening to Life since 2003 with seminars and retreats held mainly in Italy and Europe.
Shakti Caterina, How precious this satsang!!!!Love and light on you all who read it.
I feel very grateful I listened to this talk.
"No one can be an absolute expert of the mind considering not one expert can actually locate the said-mind."
Brilliantly, beautifully spoken teaching.
At 14, I think she is talking about the process of Tantra. Going into the energy of feeling without the story or label of what it is. ie. "anger", "loneliness," "hate". All feelings, in my experience, when awareness is allowed to completely welcome every part of that feeling, no matter what it is, the energy of the feeling, when fully welcomed...not just accepted, creates a greater sense of embodiment of the felt sense of awareness...
Listening to the people and their pain and fear, I suddenly realise that I've crossed a line to a place where doubt and hopelessness doesn't exist. I don't know how that happened or when, but it did. I remember feeling that longing, the pain of not arriving, the fear of being left behind but it is not active in me anymore, it's just a memory. It used to eat at my heart but is doesn't now, I'm free of it. And being free feels so natural, like I can't even feel gratefulness because I don't see how it could be there in the first place.
It's not awakening, I guess, since I feel the same me, only without the hopelessness. And not free of darkness either, still flowing through me. But it doesn't consume me, it just happens and passes. Maybe that's the process of embodiment
So familiar for me too. Sometimes brings doubt if I am just complacent and getting old, older. Live moves through this being, everything changes - only all the time, we will loose EVERYTHING someday, and all is good. I can’t remember storms from yesterday. So why worry? Yet I do not see myself as awake. So what happened?
"Or maybe you know the truth but it's not you yet". This resonates with my situation. I will say though that it seems like it is becoming true for me a little more and a little more for me lately. Just relaxing and letting it work. I just listen and let go and It happens on its own without my interference. Often I don't even notice a difference until time has passed and I notice I am feeling more peaceful than a few months or years ago.
"And God said "Love Your Enemy," and I obeyed him and loved myself." ― Kahlil Gibran, The Broken Wings
deeply and profoundly reaffirming so much of what I thought I had forgotten that I knew. I, too, am deeply grateful I listened to this talk.
Thank you for this talk it's simplicity moved me. I laughed alot at the amount of effort I put into maintaining the false self.
WAY TO GO!! Love your message, ability to relate Truth to all paths... They are all really the same path anyway... Back to Oneness with Self, Source, all beings & the planet/Universe.
Thank you.
Also, Blessings to all Sparks of Source here as humanity; however covered up we’ve become, this is the time of cleansing & Remembering our True Divine Nature. Sparkle On! ~*~
Thank You Maa
🙏🏼🌺🙏🏼
the best speaker ive ever seen or heard!
Thanks Caterina, Amazing.
I needed to hear this.I am going through all of this.
Finally someone how speak about that deep Place down, there where the miracle is happen: the divin alchemy. Thank you! It's Beautiful!
Can you please help "me/us" and elaborate on waht you wrote please? Peace and love.
@@serafimsousa5383 Obviously I can not directly answer for Andrea, but the "divine alchemy" is via the same within all of us. The healing elixir is the presence of conscious-awareness.
With the light of silent and pure awareness, intimately and non-judgmentally embrace the energies of fear and suffering that are felt. They exist precisely for this purpose.
Just as the thought of a tree, is not a tree, no thought is reality; so don't think about it. Deeply feel your way through it.
Thank you very much, James Thomas. "I'"ve come to realize, little by little that happiness is not a place of arrival, but a place of departure. Silent, pristine awareness. "I" don´t get however the part, where you mention "the energies of fear and suffering that are felt. They exist precisely for this purpose".....can you please explain? Peace, serenity and love. Blessings.
@@serafimsousa5383 I can answer that only from my own experience. I suffer from major depression, which even when there is no thinking or story about it, manifests as a very pronounced weight or vibration within the body that I have always equated to fear and suffering. I have discovered that these sensations which I have been running from for much of my life, are actuary calling to be met with silent, open and caring awareness.
They were not the demons I thought they were. They are appeals for attention and light were we can discover our deeper depths. They are paths of discovery.
Seen and experienced in this light, they are a blessing.
Hope this helps.
Thank you Shakti, you have had an imensely powerful effect on the awakening happening and how I perceive. Love and blessings to all.
Crying through most of this whole talk.
wow!!! between the two do I live my life....thank you for your love
:-D I like her energy, clarity, humour and presence
Amazing... what a being... pure life, pure love
I am with u
the way u are with me
Do unto others as u do unto yourself
02:40 "Where the question is able to fall into the answer and burn itself, nothing remains. This is true understanding." 💖
Consciousness is everything & everywhere, We are it, it is us, nothing more, nothing less!!!! Consciousness make's up the Cosmo's, the unadulterated fabric of the Ether!
wow she's amazing love her
Nice to hear a new voice.
Thank you
Thank you for the satsang! I didn't realize how much I needed that. I thought I was just going through physical discomfort at the moment, not realizing that was just an outer manifestation of a deeper crisis.
Lovely, Gratitude in my heart. Wonderful insights.❤️
fabulous beautiful heart centered talk!
Thank you Shakti, your talks are very inspiring and enlightening. I loved your interview Buddha at the Gas Pump, beautiful!
I am indeed fortunate to see this video
awesome. feel I can relax in to this, so fresh. thanx
As I listen to this again, more ease more alchemy, you are beautiful shakti ❤️🙏
Thank you mama italiana!
Great sharing, glad to found you and your deep channel 🌺🌿
Very deep. People like to hear so desperately, that this moment in time happens to be the moment of some global awaking. But just like we want to skip over chaos into personal enlightenment, It seems more like a time of expanding global crisis.
This is amazing 🤩 thanks so much 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻❤️
Awesome. Thankyou.
Great talk, got so many insights. Thank you Caterina
Crisis is an understatement .realizing EVERTHING AND EVERY ONE IS YOU AND YOU ARE ALONE.
I cried when I read your comment. Very true. Realizing everything you lived for, every rule you lived by, every belief ….. gone in an instant.
The Sad guru (love truth) is in her. She is reality, God it self on her expression and it has been blessed.
Compelling Woman... Wonderful Wonderful Wonderful
Wow wow wow WHEN THE HEART..IS READY..THE EARS..HEAR.. THE HEART..ALL BECOME ONE..LOVE THANK YOU FROM MY DIVINE TRUTH THANK YOU..
This is where I’m this is what my sole needed
I liked when she said to sit with the fear of being nobody. However then my mind says "Awesome, do that - and i can get everything i want, cus im gonna be so damn enlightened"
Her voice is relaxing. I want to understand.
Thank you so much! For your Words of Truth about Embodyment. NAMASTE
While no doubt the Upanishads have discussed the ideas of Advaita Vedanta, the practical guidance on applying it in one's own daily life is something which is basically what the Bhagavad Gita is all about (it is also chronologically the latest Upanishad).
hmm
Beautiful expression! Love!
i needed to hear this...thank you.....m..
Beautiful interaction of being in this post
Great thank you
🌸🎶💞oh what a Beautiful Lady
thanKyOu 🌸🎶💞🎼💒🎶♥️
This is really good! 😎🌟🦋
what do we really want?
is it not to live in unconditional love..
as unconditional love...
look in your heart, that's where you'll find it...
Wonderful
Thank you!!!
I will sit next to you one day soon....it is as if I already am. I love you Shakti 🌀🙏💛
I have seen, and continue to see,- the universal life source energy field of consciousness interconnecting all lifes things/beings as the creator and the creation, guiding all life in doing all that all do. I see all life as a cooperative and not a competitive. Meaning,- There is no evil mind with its weaponized ego that s trying to kill/deprive its host for purposes unknown etc. Actually, it s not the mind that freaks out and causes fear, pain and suffering, it s the o b s e r v e r of the mind!
LOVE LOVE LOVE
MAGNIFICO!
You are not awareness.. omg you are life which moves your body and if you listen you feel love in heart
Brilliant being
Clearly spoken from that place which is not a place.
? nonsense... a place is a place
At approximately 59:50 she says "a sense of - either a love or alarm" and I cannot decipher. Captions say alarm but the questioner clarifies "a love" and Shakti agrees. I find this a key point in this lecture for my awakening self and would like to clarify this. Does anyone know? Thank you.
a sense of alarm. sorry if my accent is not perfect!
when the person said "a love" I did not hear correctly but what I said was that sitting with that sense of alarm, or anything else, is true meditation - thanks for asking and helped to clarify - namaste
Thank you so much for clarifying. Your accent is beautifully perfect I just wanted to be certain I understood since I found the comment to be very key to the discussion. I adore your accent and your beautiful, knowing and assurance calms me so and lightens my heart. These lectures have brought me great comfort and openness in difficult times since I discovered them and your work a week ago and I am immeasurably grateful! Many, many blessings to you and so much Love!
How can you love yourself while losing your sense of self? Who are you loving?
truth is featurless without love. You can probably feel love, but there is no one to love or no one that loves.
@@anorexicpitbull4714 Thank you for your reply, but I don't quite understand it. Are you saying love needs no subject feeling it nor object receiving it?
@@evec3832 When you fall in love with someone... isn't it true that you lose interest in yourself and make it all about the other person?
The realisation is that falling in love is recognizing yourself in the other.
You don't need to love yourself or even relate to yourself. You already are that.
@@tomijumisko8033 Thanks for your response. At this point in time, loving myself like I love others is still a mechanical process for me. Believe it or not, I have to concentrate on the unconditional love I feel for one of my pets, and then transfer that benevolence to myself, as if I were one of them. It's not that I don't like myself. I enjoy time with myself like I enjoy time with my husband. But loving myself to the point at which I can release my shame is still very difficult. A healthy amount of shame (the neurosis of the conscience) is fine, but forgiving myself for my shortcomings is a fundamental problem for me. I guess I learned it from my mom.
It's like all we are, is a super thin crystal decanter and the chakras are the splintered coloured rays passing through that are important enough, to move the ego from its central identification with thought into the body matrix.
love
Can anyone answer what she said at 3:30???What does she mean that understanding is the dissolution of answer? Is she saying that understanding is the knowing of complete nothingness? I think that is it but any input I would appreciate...
Helen Hamilton explains this beautifully. It is hard for me to answer, but it is kind of put yourself in a position of not knowing
@@beautifulrose8619 Yes Cathy, Your answer is a good one. I have been looking into it myself over these months since I posed this question. So I think you did very well. Thanks for your reply.
you have to lose everything....
that is also what i used,
to ,
fear.
Wow 🙏🏻
💖💖💖
Wow lovely talk
What is there to take?
nascorob Cut out the Tobacco my friend!
trust grace you will be ok follow your truth discernment
Another way to say 'truth' is,- fact/actual/real,. ('It is true that the sun shines upon the earth'.) The word 'truth' is only a communacative, vibratory sharing of cooperative experience. The answer is between the duality of the two parts,- Lie/truth. Within the two parts as well as their binding energy (singularity). They are all three. All three is observance. Observing it, activates it. Spirituality/truth/love/intent,., cannot be done. It s not something to do. It s something to observe. Attempting to 'do' it, results in the equal/opposite occurring. This happens to keep it within balance (maintaing the velocity of the moment).
Help me help myself. I watch mooji, Eckhart Tolle, Rupert Spira and a few others. Can anyone explain Non Duality and a basic practise i can learn as although i have a basic understanding each teacher contradicts each other although they each make sense. My ego tells me im not good enough to grasp enlightenment or im too stupid. This is very frustrating as i cannot tell if i am on the right path or if im making positive steps. Any advice would be so very much appreciated. Thank you. Namaste.
whay do you saY they contradict each other?.
Hi! It's ok... you're not stupid at all. It's just that it's so obvious we all miss it or think "this can't be it". I don't see contradiction between these teachers, although I can see why it would seem that way. They each have their own way of explaining what basically can't be explained... but I'll do my best, here.
Have you ever been so engrossed in something you were doing that you lost all sense of time, or were so totally absorbed in it that you had no thoughts other than what you were doing? That's a clue. In general moments, it's your experience all of the time, but there are layers piled over it. Layers of thoughts, beliefs, getting caught by distractions. Awareness is underneath all of it, watching it all happen.
Sit alone + quiet, and feel the sense that you exist. Feel in your body the sensation of being. Can you feel that you exist? Some may call this "presence", some "beingness", some "awareness", some "consciousness". It's all the same thing. It's the felt sense that you exist. The felt sense of being present. The felt sense of being.
It might be a dull feeling at first. That's ok. Just keep resting in that felt sense of being. It may even feel like you have to "do" it, at first. But, the more you rest there, the easier and more obvious it gets.
Let your mind say whatever it wants. Don't push away or shame your thoughts. And don't grab on to or believe them. Let them come + go, and keep resting in the felt sense of being.
This beingness is who you are. The core of you that sees all things come + all things go.
But you are always present.
I hope that helps
White Knight, this might sound like the silliest thing to you, but there is no you in form of the body or the mind or an objectiv world separate from you! Stay with your raw experiences of yourself or realy anything and watch where the experience takes place. If you are honest and stay direct you will find that everything you can ever know is an appearences in consciousnees. Then look for the knower of all that arises! Make this your highest priority in life and you will know the truth, because you are it already. You habe only forgotten it 😉😘.
Edzard Piltz Thank you so much. I think i understand. Namaste x
be still,and know that I am God,,,, just stick w Adyashanti
23:00 awakening is not suffering but meeting the pain.
Na ne viccelj.
Continually being reborn
with every thought 🤫
For the Rishis of old it was enough to hear the truth from the Guru. The teacher would speak and the student would understand, read Upanishads. Today people have so much garbage in their minds and bodies that they cannot make the connection permanent to what the teacher is saying. Maybe it was the soma that allowed the ancients to really make the teaching a reality for them.
People are finding out that their "spiritual practices" are ineffective. That's a good thing.
That which cannot be taught.
nearly everything can be taught
Be1More
this is the exception.
💡💡💓🔥💓🔥🔥🎼
there is no question,
that can't be,
answered.
the answer may not be complete but it is still an answer.
Just be.... don’t be anybody , don’t do anything, just be...
For centuries its been about mind training. About realizing that your mind is basically a collection of habits. Neuroplasticity is proving that.
Shakti and other teachers provide a new kind of environment to help aid the way to a new way of seeing. But they can only go so far.
The rest is up to us. We have to keep on working on our minds.
I don't get why talk about working on yourself is taboo these days.
I suspect that this is becomin a new kind of speak: - that you are already there and all is well etc etc. The reality is we are deeply conditioned. Just letting go is highly unlikely to end that conditioning as those two brave women here mentioned. They weren't given any new ideas here. Just the usual stuff. The truth is they have to do something. Either work harder on themselves or try a new approach. Doing nothing won't do anything!
But of course this kind of talk is very unpopular in the capitalist world we live in. Where everything - enlightenment included - is instantly offered to you. And where many are startig to earn a living being gurus.
Remember where these talks are taking place. In the midst of wealth and full stomachs.
They would't go down in most of the places in the world where people struggle just to survive. And parts of the world living in war or the terror that war may break out any moment.
So I say yes and no.
And if you want to be of help work on yourself instead of just being content to be told over and over again that there is nothing to do.
Every single being seeks the same thing. Safety and love. There are no exceptions.
Think of others less fortunate.
nonduality has been "teached" in India for millenia.
Well said
Unfortunately as soon as there is speech or even thought there is duality. Anyway we are getting clever at talking about it and it can be quite entertaining. I wonder if assertions of non duality are leading in the wrong direction..Might calling off the search and seeing what happens then be the way to let go....
Margarita Mendez Marimon Yes, however do they continue now or Indians embracing western ways. Genuine question.
finding the i that wants to work on the mind comes first .. after that, see if you can find the minds anywhere
💖🌟💖🌟
Waking up is miserable.
Could you elaborate?
how long must we knock the door without no answer? how long would you say that the lover a waits for us while it never opens the door when we knock million times before? i give up ... after 30 years i give up. if god want he can come to me!! fuck it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i love you 😍
WoW! Talk about psychobabble, OMG!
someone will arrive one day,
and i,
will be safe.
Sometimes when i listen to her i can see her as an entity in my mind, and it reminds me of a picture that Alex Grey drew of an ascended master - tinyurl.com/yat5c2pk
sometimes,
i forget to perceive,
from all directions,
and notice ,
only,
one.
good observation
Bad opening music. sounds sinister. Great talk though.
i forgot that i had dispatched that part of me...
If the gentleman who wanted to use relationships as a means of awaking, would continue in his quest and fall in love repeatedly with every chakra and not close off under any outward circumstances he can awaken to the fact that all the love in the world is inside him not out there.
fall in love with every chakra?
These people virtually crying that they are not making progress will not make progress because there is a blockage deep in their emotional content or some chemical imbalance which limits what their experience can be. No amount of crying will change it. They must take some drug to change their brain chemistry so they can move on. Effort in meditation will not be enough, meditating for years will not change their condition. There is a deep seated fear or limit which they may not even be aware of going on with them. Certain nootropics may help. The teacher cannot help them off the ledge because they are attached to it. Caterina is great but I hope her teaching doesn't go down the emotional well her students are pushing.
I see the mind to be a fractal cooperative. Not to be blamed for a n y t h i n g ! All lifes things/being are comprised of energy centers (auras/cycles of life/,- One being the primary (heartsource/auric center/soul/sourcefield connection,.) and the others being,- mind- processor of 3D, body- feeling, vision- observer, flow- action/dynamic. Each one having all five within (mind has mind, body, heaet ,.). All cooperate and coordinate lifes guidance (God/Spirit,.) to them (I am a mind that thinks, a body that feels, a heart that knows, a vision that sees and an action that flows). We re a cooperative. Not a competitive. Mind hating/bashing/blaming is h i g h l y competitive. Of which is incredibly inefficient.
Hmmm, too much emphasis on suffering and fear and madness while putting the lighter energy into the density. Our truth has more to do with artful and playful connecting and celebrating in enriching and sustainable worldviews. 💚
The clue is in the title of this talk, it is for people in spiritual crisis and it contains vital information to guide people through such a crises. This is not entertainment. Much love to you
I'm sure Shakti Caterina Maggi is a very nice person, but as with so many of these teachers my gut feeling is they are not the real deal.
Philip
Gahan
Your gut feeling is separation
Your gut is not feeling well, sure that you never went down where the density is heavy... oder wise you would not say what you say.
Where are you Philip... where are you

Your right bro, they're all charlatans, they're in it for money and vanity, I switched this rubbish off after a couple of minutes
