The ONLY true Bliss channel is inside.

The key word in that statement is only. When we seek comfort, pleasure, and bliss outside of ourselves, we inevitably feel disappointed, again and again and again. The reason for this cycle of seeking external happiness and then feeling disappointed is our collective spiritual amnesia. We have forgotten who we truly are. When we take the time to go inside our own beings, we remember that we truly are pure Bliss.

Pure Bliss is our true essential nature… and this is true for each and every one of us. So we have to turn away from the external dials, and tune in to the frequency of the Bliss channel inside our beings.

Daily spiritual practices, such as sitting meditation and cultivating the witness, help us to regularly remember our true nature. Throughout the day, if we practice witnessing our thoughts, our emotions, our speech, and our actions, then gradually the witness part of ourselves expands. As the witness consciousness expands, we identify less with all the stories passing through us, and we begin to self-coach ourselves. For me, this self-coaching process is such a gift. Now, anytime my little mind starts reacting negatively, my higher witness mind automatically starts “talking” to the little mind.

For example, anytime I feel the slightest disappointment arising about anything external to my own inner being, the self-coaching witness mind says, “The only true Bliss channel is inside.” Then, if I continue feeling sad, the witness voice gets louder, saying, “Didn’t you hear what I just said? The ONLY true Bliss channel is inside.”

Because most of us are under this collective spiritual amnesia spell, we have to continually remind ourselves that we are, in essence, pure Bliss. Daily spiritual practices are so important. If you need inspiration for your practices – or help beginning some new practices – please read my easy-to-read pocket book, Radiance Rising: Spiritual Practices for Daily Living, available on this website store in print and by e-book.

May we all remember to tune in to the inner Bliss channel. It is a frequency that is always there, waiting for us to tune in to it.

May all beings everywhere know Peace and Happiness.

Om Shanti (Peace),

Yogini Tejaswini
