SUMMARY:Unmani ~ What is the Awakened State?
DESCRIPTION:Beyond all states that come and go\, there is the knowing of them all. The Awareness of whatever is here. This is who you really are as Life itself\, always awake\, and always aware. This is all very well\, however\, in your human experience\, you might not always feel or acknowledge this knowing that is always awake. You might experience being caught up in your mind\, emotions or the dramas of life\, and then this Awakening is simply a beautiful and spiritual intellectual concept that is very far from your own experience.  \nIf you have had some kind of awakening recognition\, you might experience a kind of flip-flopping in and out of the clear seeing of the Oneness of your true nature\, and then being again caught up in the dramas of the apparent separate ‘me’. This can be very painful as you experience the strong contrast between these two states of being.  \nIn this Meeting with Unmani\, we will discuss what the Awakened State is\, and any confusions around this. We will also look at the various misconceptions about Awakening in general. We will then explore how Awakening can be lived in our human lives with all the ups and downs and challenges\, as well as the fast pace of our modern human lives.  \nUnmani gives practical pointers and support on how to live in and as Awakening. Join the ‘live’ session to be able to ask questions\, and investigate your direct experience with Unmani.  \nAbout Unmani\nMeeting with Unmani is meeting with yourself in the most real and alive way. Unmani is originally from the UK\, but has lived in many countries around the world. Since she was a child\, Unmani didn’t identify with being a separate individual\, but assumed there was something wrong with her\, until she came across the expression of Satsang and nonduality. Truth has always been her passion. Unmani had teachers including Osho\, Dolano\, Nathan Gill\, Tony Parsons\, Gangaji and several other amazing people who are not considered ‘teachers’. \nIn 2013 she met her husband\, the wonderful musician\, and courageous lover of life\, Robert Hanuman. In 2015 their son\, Sky\, was born. On 3rd January 2018\, Robert Hanuman died suddenly from a heart attack while they were in India. Robert Hanuman’s presence deeply influenced Unmani’s teaching\, and in the time they were together it evolved into a more human expression of the courage to live the paradox of the Absolute\, living as this human. Robert put Unmani’s words to his beautiful classical guitar music and Unmani still plays his songs at her meetings. \nUnmani has been holding meetings and retreats all over the world for since 2003\, and in this time people have been deeply touched by her work: She meets each person exactly where they are at\, and in whatever they need at the time\, while at the same time holding them in the truth of who they really are beyond it all. This combination\, and paradox\, of the personal and impersonal\, brings so much depth\, openness and healing to people’s lives. They wake up to who they really are\, and discover how this is lived and integrated into their daily lives. \nUnmani has written 3 books ‘I am Life itself’\, ‘Die to Love’ and ‘The Courage to Come Alive’. Unmani holds regular meetings and retreats several times a year as well as monthly webinars on different themes. \nFor more information about Unmani’s work go to: www.die-to-love.com\nYoutube: https://www.youtube.com/@Unmani\nFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/unmani\nInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/unmani_hyde/ \nRobert Hanuman’s music can be downloaded on iTunes here: https://music.apple.com/nl/artist/robert-hanuman/1329878840?l=en \nSuggested donation: $15 to $40\nNo one turned away for lack of funds.\nPlease register early if you can. \nREGISTER \nThe event will be recorded and emailed to participants within a week.\nTo check your local time\, use a tool such as: Time Zone Converter
