Just Experiencing What Is | Full Satsang with Helen Hamilton

Satsang is a place where people gather to recognise who we are, and to directly experience and live from knowing what we really are. The recognition of who we are is an endpoint: an end to seeking, searching, and suffering from thoughts of separation. In this transformative Satsang, Helen gently invites us into a direct experience of what is — not as an idea to understand, but as an experience of recognizing who and what we truly are. Helen also answers live audience questions, offering practical insight and deep clarity for anyone on the path of self-discovery and awakening. ------------------------ 00:00 Welcome and opening remarks. Helen invites student to experience what is real through direct experience rather than through thoughts. 25:01 Q1: I had a health scare and wonder if the body uses that space as a painkiller until there is full anchoring to who we really are. HH: Helen says her self inquiry served as a painkiller when she first started. It gave her a moment of relief from suffering. 30:30 Q2: I have confusing around the word “witness.” Sometimes it’s used as a spiritual ego we need to dissolve, and sometimes it refers to consciousness. HH: Yes. To be the witness of something else like a thought or an emotion or an experience, there has to be some sense of separation in that, but in the fullest use of that word, we could say the witness realizes there's nothing to witness or that we realize the witness is all there is. 35:29 Q3: I had a tsunami of emotions. Is it ok to ask from help from someone like Jesus? Sometimes I can see and allow and sometimes I need something to hold on to. HH: What if the idea you can hold on or let go is not true? 46:50 Q4: Helen’s words “open to receive” is what I’m doing all the time. HH: So lovely. Helen’s practice was about stripping away everything that is not the real self. 55:32 Q5: I have been practicing self inquiry for a year but the recent earthquake where I live has devastated my community and I don’t know how to be with this. HH: Sometimes we just need to practice self love and be with the emotions that are arising. 1:04:16 Q6: There is so much joy is realizing life is taking care of itself. HH: Beautiful! Everything is just coming and going and you are just watching. 1:12:54 Q7: I’m constantly analyzing so there is more thinking than living. HH: Helen shares her experiences with her husband. ------------------------ ✨ ACCESS VIDEOS, COURSES & COMMUNITY Dive deep into Awakening with an archive of recorded teachings, live sessions and a supportive online community. 👉 https://www.helenhamilton.org/helen-h... ⸻ 🧘‍♀️ REGISTER FREE FOR LIVE SATSANG Explore Truth & Awakening with Helen — Everyone is welcome! 📌 https://www.helenhamilton.com/satsang ⸻ 📬 JOIN THE MAILING LIST Stay updated on events, new classes & more. ✉️ https://www.helenhamilton.org/contact... ⸻ 📅 CALENDAR OF EVENTS Check out upcoming classes, retreats & Sangha meetups. 🗓️ https://www.helenhamilton.org/calenda... ⸻ 🌄 JOIN A RETREAT Attend retreats with Helen—online or in person.
