What Is Higher Consciousness? | Sep 19, 2026 | Live Satsang Workshop

In this Satsang workshop, we explore the nature of consciousness—not just as brain activity or subjective experience, but as the unchanging canvas upon which all thoughts, perceptions, and emotions come and go. We discuss how to measure real spiritual progress through behavior and inner baseline happiness, how to make meditation effortless through trust rather than forceful concentration, and how to transcend physical pain during practice. The discourse is followed by guided Inner Yoga heart meditation into deep silence.
