Neelam ~ Freedom in Times of COVID ~ 3-hour TeleSatsang

Uncertainty and Resilience of the Nervous System as Gateways to Awakening

Open Circle Satsang with Neelam

We are living in a unique moment in time, maybe even during a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

The invitation to Awakening and Freedom just became so much more available and the potential for true transformation is so profound now.

We can both individually and collectively face our fears and dependence on what we “know” as the world that we are used to Ñ as it is changing and falling apart.

We can however, use this profound slowing down and change for transformation and Freedom for truer and deeper reliance on Peace (our true nature); for change in our way of Being Ñ internally and in the world Ñ and ultimately for Awakening.

In our upcoming 3-hour call, I will be addressing:

  • the Nervous System and our capacity to Be Here;
  • embodiment of challenging states;
  • and speaking about uncertainty and the steps necessary for Awakening now

As always, we will have time for sharing, Q and A, and practice.

Let’s use this opportunity together for Awakening, Embodiment, and Freedom, to grow in Peace and to expand our capacity for Peace and change in the world.

Areas of interest:

  • The changing world Ñ how it affects us and our opportunity for transformation
  • How to use patterns of the past and current reactivity for Awakening, Embodiment and Freedom and how to expand our capacity to live in the world in Peace
  • Uncertainty and Resilience of Nervous System as gateways to Awakening

About Neelam

Neelam is a direct disciple of HWL Poonja (affectionately known as Papaji), whose own teacher was Ramana Maharshi. NeelamÕs unequivocal commitment to Truth helps us turn inward and release underlying patterns of conditioning which block the recognition of our True Nature. With the utmost tenderness, she invites us into the same recognition of Truth that her teacher, Papaji, transmitted to her, while helping us to address all aspects of daily living, including past conditioning and trauma.

Testimonials from Program Participants

ÒWhatÕs different about Neelam is that she demystifies the actual practice of being present Ð sheÕs helped me see whatÕs actually happening when feelings and emotions come up, and how, in a very practical way, to deal with them. Her strong point is Òhow to actually do this being the present thing.Ó It really helps to take it out of the mind and into the bodyÓ

ÒNeelam showed me that Being Here was what I was looking for. Then she showed me how to build Nervous System capacity to Be Here and that took time and repetitionÓ

ÒAwakening is a shift from identifying yourself as this body to knowing yourself as Presence. Freedom means a true independence from the past, where our ability to Be Here and the action in the moment are not guided by our attachment to the arising past. To truly be Free we need to embody our recognition of Presence, and that requires growing of the capacity of our nervous system to Be Here. It is in the meeting of what arises that we find true and lasting freedom.Ó
