Guided Meditation: Your Own Being Is Happiness Itself

In this guided meditation on happiness, Rupert brings us to rest back into the simple and inherently peaceful experience of being aware.
He invites us to recognise that being aware of awareness itself is not just a place in ourselves where we take refuge from time to time, or even where we live. It is what we are and It becomes our new identity.
As we come to see that all our psychological or emotional suffering consists of our resistance to what is present or our search for what is not present, we sink back into the place of untouchable peace and happiness that is our own being.
Rupert then suggests the practice of reminding ourselves regularly of the two universal truths at the heart of the non-dual understanding, namely: being is happiness and being is shared.
All that is then necessary is to understand and feel this and to live its implications.

UPCOMING ONLINE RETREAT ON HAPPINESS (Weekend July 15-17)
Rupert's upcoming Online Weekend Retreat at Home is called You Are The Happiness You Seek, where we will discover that the peace and joy we have been searching for, for so long, can be easily found in the depths of our own being.
During our weekend together, we will come to this understanding not just intellectually, but more importantly in an experiential way, so that we each have a deeply felt sense of the place in ourself where happiness is fully available in every moment.

I was walking on the path of darkness, lost in myself, seeking for myself when I saw your glow in the distance, since then your words of light have helped me to use my own light, but I will continue to follow your luminous words like a beacon at night. My gratitude to Rupert for his always balanced guidance.

[@andereliga5196]

Beautifully put ✨

[@nazirhussaindorandish4912]

I have been searching for Truth of reality, specially my reality through many teachings. But Rupert non-dualistic teaching is jewel. I hope I could feel his presence once in my life time.

[@chalie28]

His presence is the same as yours. I hope you will find your presence

[@philosophicast2122]

Rupert would admit that it’s not his teaching, it’s the ancient philosophy of advaita vedenta,

Greetings from Germany :) You are such an immense help for all of us I just want to thank you and wish you all the best🫶🏻

I have followed some guided meditations from various people. This one was very special and touched me to the core of my being. I had just witnessed something unpleasant. I let my cats outdoors this morning ( They are in and out during the day and sleep indoors during the night). As soon as they stepped out I noticed them at hesitating at something I could not see and so I wanted to investigate. It was too late to rescue a small bird that they had in their procession. The immediate response of mine is feeling sad for the bird and about the whole incident that I probably had caused. I caught myself immediately not to get bogged down with emotions and get into a chain of thought journey. While sitting in Rupert’s guided meditation, something occurred to me. When I become spacious, I can see myself not only the bird in suffering but also the cat that was reveling at success. There is no good or bad, but only what is. I am not the doer, but rather a witness to all this that I feel I am part of. Thank you for this session Rupert.

[@Fix44]

Cats should not be let outside. The bird population will slowly diminish if we let our cats do it

I love you Rupert. This message is so simple and but at the same time enough. It's wonderful when we don't lose touch with the background that underlies every experience and condition, and know&feel that this background is peace/happiness/love.

Look at nature and it's movements, we flow like it, we are it. Awareness is what is aware of that and knows the truth.

[@atmannityananda-autognosia]

To rest effortlessly as awareness and stop to identify with body, thinking, emotions and most of all with the ego as the thinker, feeler, chooser and doer it is needed awaken to our true Self and aquire purity of mind, dispassion, steadiness of mind through practice and countless hours of meditation.

For years many years i had a chip on my shoulder Thai is synonymous with ego that persisted and continues to persist. I fed it for years and found help with Rupert's awareness insights thank you thank you... in the end it is God who is behind it all . I thank God for his enurable mercies

No doubt we can be aware of the sense of I which is of the ego which makes us identify with the body, thoughts, emotions and sense objects and experiences.

Is the secret to life just to be aware of our experience?

Aware and happy/peaceful. 💙

[@SuperstarSridhar]

I know this varies from person to person, but typically, how long does it take to recognise our identity as awareness? And what is the method of doing it?

[@JaciCat67]

Being is shared.. Yep got it that's fine... but being is happiness? that's much harder. Are peace and happiness the same thing? I am under the impression they are not. How does one come to that conclusion?

[@SpliffSized]

What does one want want when they are at a state of peace..there is no desire for anything else, it's the true nature of awareness.

[@twiggz4946]

Is there anywhere where this full length meditation is available?

Dear Rupert What about physical suffering?That would only end with the end of the world.One cannot just simply not be aware of physical suffering.
