Two questions…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Are you in an existential daze, questioning your purpose on our little space ball?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Are you aggressively meditating, seeking to up your spiritual game to zen-like levels?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If the answer is yes and yes, why not try nondualism on for size?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Many have said it\u2019s the shortcut to ultimate enlightenment and everything.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And if humans like anything, it\u2019s instant results with little to no effort expended.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So if you want to bypass countless hours wearing baggy yoga pants at silent meditation retreats, non duality might just be your jam.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sound good? Well, we better explain what it is I suppose.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is Nonduality?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Nonduality is a state of consciousness in which there is no separation between the observer and the observed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Everything is experienced as one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It means there’s no difference between the inner and outer worlds, with one just as real as the other.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Is that where your body ends? Or is it where the Universe, with an uppercase ‘U’ begins?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This realization can be incredibly liberating, meaning we’re not bound by our thoughts and emotions, but instead are free to be whoever we want to be.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We can let go of our fears and doubts and simply experience life in the present moment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sound unlikely?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s because you\u2019re a dualist and if we were standing in a public square of condemnation right now, I\u2019d expose you as the mindfulness pariah you are!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But seeing as I\u2019m actually a chilled-out meditation entertainer, I\u2019ll let you off and instead, we’ll have a serene chat about this splendidly simple technique.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But if you are coming from a dualistic worldview, which is more than likely seeing as that\u2019s what we\u2019re generally raised on as small humans, we better compare differences between the two philosophies, before diving into the meat and bones of how to practice it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
