When you live only in the waking state of consciousness then you are in a state of illusion. Your life is only based on trying to gain the maximum and lose the minimum. Trying only to find your happiness through people and acquiring things and diverse experiences,  The illusion is that the fulfillment of all of your desires will bring about peace and happiness. However, we eventually realize that fulfilling desires only works temporarily as there is a new desire or a fear of losing what you have obtained.  If you remain a victim of this illusion that only the waking state is the reality, then you will continue to enjoy and suffer.  When you get free from the waking state then you live in the bliss of your own Self. For more information and to see Shree's teacher training manuals, and Knowingness Meditation: Enlightenment is Now.

In the Yogic system of meditation, there exist four states of consciousness: waking, deep sleep, dream, and the fourth state or higher state of consciousness.  In meditation, we experience the fourth or Knower state of consciousness. Similar to deep sleep, where we are free from the physical and emotional states that we know in the waking state. but we can function most effectively.  Similar to the dream state what we know in the waking state is like a dream and when we wake up from the waking state we are in the fourth or higher state of consciousness.  The fourth state of consciousness permeates all the other states of consciousness so through this practice one can know the Knower and live in this peace and joy that is forever shining.  For more information and books and audios on teaching meditation and Knowing ness Meditation: Enlightenment is Now,  see www.transformationmeditation.comwww.transformationmeditation.com

Mindfulness meditation is becoming very popular now. However, just being mindful does not allow you to know the Knower or live in the state of highest consciousness called the fourth state. You can live more comfortably in the waking state by being mindful of your thoughts and emotions but at some point to be free from it you need to transcend the waking state and enter the fourth state. To meditate on the fourth state the attention goes from watching or being mindful of the thoughts and experiencing to being mindful or aware of you the Knower of the mind. This is Knowingness Meditation or meditation on the fourth state whereby you are living in the peace and joy that is forever shining.For more information on Knowingness Meditation and for Shree's Meditation Teacher Training Manuals and audio see www.transformedu.comwww.transformationmeditation.com

When you meditate correctly you come to experience your true Self which if forever blissful.  However, when you live your daily life with its challenges and ups and down you can forget that higher awareness that you have experienced in meditation.    Then you may say, "I got it, but!" You have had the direct experience of meditation but you seem to have lost it while doing the everyday things in life. There is an expression that says before realization, chop wood, carry water and after realization, chop wood, carry water. This means that your everyday life practices don't change. Even your personality traits and likes and dislikes may not change that much however you are established in the peace or contentment of your own Self even while you taking care of your everyday life challenges. It is understandable to say "I got it but" when you begin your practice and lose that awareness more easily at the beginning, so, therefore, continued meditation practice is essential as then you will say. I got it!  For more information and to see the publications by Shree: Transformation Meditation Teachers Manuals and Knowingness Meditation: Enlightenment is Now, go to transformationmeditation.comwww.transformationmeditation.com

There are three states of consciousness that most people experience every day.  There is the waking, deep sleep, and dream states.  We are all familiar with these states. However, when you meditate you can also experience the fourth state or meditative awareness. This fourth state is always blissful and it actually permeates all the other states. So you can be awake and know this fourth state of bliss by learning how to tune into it.  This state is not foreign to us as we have all tuned into it when looking at nature or being absorbed in a good movie, book, or work project. However, we didn't know that it is actually a higher state of consciousness and you can learn how to tune into it directly through meditation. and learn to live in this awareness throughout your day.  For more information and Meditation Teacher Training Manual and Knowingness Meditation: Enlightenment is Now, by Shree see www.transformationmeditation.com www.transformationmeditation.com

Many people search for a  purpose in their lives. There can be many purposes that one believes that they are meant to do or have. However, if one does not experience fulfillment in life then all the purposes are really only based on some satisfaction and some dissatisfaction. You will never feel totally satisfied in life unless you know the true state of satisfaction or fulfillment. That state is realized through meditation on your own source or true nature.

Many people think that acquiring wealth and the things that they desire is prosperity and that will make them happy, contented, and fulfilled. No doubt it is good to feel secure financially and be able to buy the things you want and give to your loved ones.  However, if you observe those who have acquired great financial means we see that they are often not as happy as those who are poor and only enjoy the company of their loved ones.   Therefore it is obvious that true prosperity is not financial wealth but the state of prosperity which is knowing a state whereby you are knowing that your true security and happiness come from knowing the state of peace that is self-effulgent and forever shining. You only need to know how to tune into it in meditation.

Many people are limited because they believe that the mind is their only power of knowing and understanding things. Whatever information and knowledge the mind has is due to genetics or upbringing and learning. Most people don't explore and observe that they are the power that allows the mind to think. Just like a light bulb will only light up from the electrical power.  That power is your Pure Intelligence. It allows you to know the Knower of the mind and through that higher power or knowledge know the solution to all problems.

This podcast discusses the knowledge which lets you know that you can see your mind as either your friend or your enemy, It is your friend when you conclude positively about any situation. If you get a flat tire you can decide that perhaps it saved you from an accident.  Then your mind is your friend.  If your mind is filled with worry and anger, it is your enemy.  The mind reacts but you the Knower of your mind has a choice as to where you would like to place your attention. You are the only one that can make yourself happy or unhappy so through meditation and by knowing the Knower of the mind you become aware that the choice is with you and remain free from suffering! www.transformationmeditation.com

Most people base their success on the achievement of goals and desires. The great high paying job, a happy marriage, wonderful children,  name and fame, and a beautiful home with a white picket fence. This might be called the American dream or the highest achievement the one can attain. However, even those with the greatest riches, and fame or the best families may still feel unfulfilled, lonely, or depressed. How can this be? ?The answer is that true success does not come from the fulfillment of desires as that type of success is transitory. You fulfill one desire then you feel great as  you are then experiencing your own state of fulfillment but you conclude that the success, happiness, and  enjoyment are there because you have  fulfill your desire. With this misconception when you again feel unfulfilled or unhappy you will believe that you have to fulfill another desire to again feel fulfilled and happy.  This then becomes  an unending process or up and down! The true  formula for success does not come from fulfilling desires but comes from knowing the state of fulfillment that is always there and that you only thought you could tap into by fulfilling a desire. Through the practice of meditation you can directly experience the true I or Me that you are that if forever established in success. www.transformationmeditation.com

This talk by Shree direct you to become aware of where true happiness is residing. Most people are happy when something good happens but then unhappy when a desire isn't fulfilled or when something unpleasant happens.  When happiness is based on that which changes in your daily life then it is always changing. You will have moments of happiness and hours of suffering or unhappiness. Once you come to know your true Self or the Pure Awareness that you are then you know the happiness that is not changing or based on the fulfillment of a desire. With this knowledge and meditation practice, you can live in a state of bliss that is not dependent on the changing situations in life. In this inner silence or peace,  the space within, the true happiness or peace is forever shining.   For more audios and books by Shree on teaching meditation and yogic philosophy see www.transformationmeditation.comwww.transformationmeditation.com

In this podcast, Shree speaks to you from the Himalayas of India and directs the attention to our true nature which is pure, free, and forever. Most people live in three states of consciousness, waking state, deep sleep, and dream state. Meditation unfolds you into the fourth state of consciousness which is all peace, pure, free, and forever. To elicit this state, one needs to have the proper instruction and practice it not only in daily meditation but throughout the day. The fourth state is covered like the clouds covering the sun. However, like the sun this state of higher consciousness is always there and can be realized.   For books and audios by Shree on teaching meditation and Patanjali Yoga Sutras go to www.transformationmeditation.comwww.transformationmeditation.com

In this podcast, Shree shows you have most people are victims of their senses. Whatever the senses want you to think you have to have or experience.  In the waking state and when the senses are engaged, they want to experience only pleasurable things and avoid uncomfortable things. And why not continue this if it is the only way you know to get pleasure and fulfillment? When a desire is fulfilled let us say for ice cream that you love, then you feel fulfilled and easy for a while having fulfilled this desire. That feeling of fulfillment is only possible as it is always there. The fulfillment of the desire just elicited it. However, as we know this type of fulfillment is temporary as there will be more desires and the attempt to fulfill them in order to experience this state of fulfillment.  Since there is no end to that so you are the victim of needing to fulfill desires and to satisfy the senses in order for you to be happy, peaceful, easy, and experience love. When you know this method doesn't work to bring you true satisfaction then you have the option to meditate and instead seek the state of fulfillment that you are by turning the senses inward towards your own inner fulfillment which is forever shining and does not change.  For more books and audios on teaching meditation and the Patanjali Yoga Sutras by Shree go to  www. transformationmeditation.comwww.transformationmeditation.com

Most people seek freedom by getting their desires fulfilled and by acquiring more wealth, status, or fame.  This type of freedom is temporary as other worries and difficult situations can arise such as the health of the body or losing a loved one. Even if you get everything that you think you want you can then fear losing it.  So true freedom doesn't exist on the level of the mind, possession, and body in the waking state. As long as you are in the waking state you do not know your true I. Your I is eternal and always free.  This podcast by Shree, recorded in the Himalayas, shows you what true freedom is by knowing your true I or Self and guides you in the practice of knowing your own freedom while meditating.  For more books and audios by Shree go  www.transformationmeditation.com

Everyone who is aware knows that just one thought that comes into your head uninvited can ruin your day or your sleep. The mind generates thoughts and whether you are aware of them or not they can affect your mood and your state of mind. Becoming aware of them is the first step, but what can you do about it so you remain peaceful and don't waste your energy so you can be more productive?  One negative thought can affect your health or your energy levels. But if you can not control your thought then what can you do? You can repeat another thought and the negative thought will pass. That is called using a mantra. Man means mind and tra means to release.  A mantra releases you from the grip of your mind which can cause uncomfortable emotions such as irrational worries and fears. In this podcast, Shree guides you into the answered state or the questionless state whereby you are free from the content of your mind. If you want to elicit thought and act on it then you are free to do that. If you become aware that you are the Knower or the master of the thought and that the thought is not serving you then as the Knower you can change the thought or let it subside without identifying with it and suffering unnecessarily.  Through this practice of knowingness meditation, you can experience the peace that is always present but becomes covered by the mind like the clouds can cover the sun.

This podcast will show you how to use the state of consciousness often called the fourth state, in your daily life. When you meditate you experience directly the realized vision that is not bound by the waking, deep sleep, or dream state and permeates all the states of consciousness that the human being lives in. This fourth state or higher vision gives you the direct knowledge that in essence, you are forever peaceful and free. Once you experience this awareness the solutions to your problems unfold from this state. This is often called intuition. It is always there when you know how to unfold this meditate awareness and become established in your true Self, the Knower.  For more information and books on Teaching Meditation and yogic science see:  www.tranformationmeditation.com www.transformationmeditation.com

In this podcast Shree guides you to know your true I. Most people identify as only a body and mind and call that "I". However, have you ever seen your I? It is not located anywhere. The true I is forever shining. In meditation, you can experience the pure space or pure I that you are. When you know that I then you can rest in the peace of your own Self. Peace does not change when the body and mind change. It is only through this direct experience that you can be free of your mental concerns, worries, doubts, and fears and live your life more peacefully with the ease of knowing who you are!  When you know yourself as the Knower of the mind and body you know your true I and then you are the master of your own experience. All gets done and life continues as it has but you are now living from a higher perspective and can achieve more in your life without the energy drain of your mind's problems.

In this podcast, Shree guides you to understand how attachment can bind you into needing someone or something in order to be happy.  As long as you need some material object, living situation,  job,  material success, location, or person in order to be satisfied in your life you will fail at attaining what you truly want. True freedom comes from the connection with your own true Self that is forever free and pure. Meditation on the true Self or Knower allows you to rest in that knowledge and know your freedom right now without having to change anything.  For books and audios by Shree see www.tranformationmeditation.comwww.transformationmeditation.com
