A look at how spiritual awakenings define our identity and the evolving effects these transformations can have on the personality.

Big traumas in life can throw us out of synchrony with space and time. Be aware of your surroundings, your environment, objects, and locate yourself in space. Consciously regulate your breath and reign yourself into time, the cycle of everything. Noticing the difference between “I” and “I am.” Making the distinction between our interpretation of...

Use mindful awareness of the breath and sensations in the body to drop into the space of you: your self as you always already are. Whatever you are experiencing in this moment can be a gateway to deeper awareness of your formless, limitless self.

In this meditation you will be led through a simple self-inquiry process toward a deepening recognition of your fundamental nature. A powerful way to connect as the Being that registers and embodies everything else we are.

We existed in spirit prior to becoming human. When we entered this reality, there was an initiation, the rooting of the intellect. The intellect for most people becomes relegated to a conceptual mind, the matrix of identity. This meditation focuses on the possibility of accessing that consciousness which exists prior to the intellect.

The Core Paradox, that fundamental existential angst that resides deep within each human, which arises from the recognition of a split between our infinite nature and our finite beingness, does not seem present in animals, it seems to be exclusively a consequence of self-awareness in humans. This talk explores how this split might have arisen...

Let yourself relax into yourself through this guided meditation inspired by Judith Blackstone’s book, Belonging Here: A Guide for the Spiritually Sensitive Person. Presented by Bill Epperly, this technique enables you to pull yourself back into a witnessing stance where you can be at ease in your body when it feels like you’re trying too...

Sometimes we can go long periods of time feeling like we’re not growing or changing. And sometimes, seemingly out of nowhere, a rush of passion for this work comes back in, and things will start to happen. We can explore this through meditation with interning Trillium teacher Victor Antillon, invoking the energy of passion in...

Join Trillium teacher Bill Miller in this simple guided meditation. This is not to prescribe a practice for you, but rather to nurture your own ability to come up with the practice that is best for you. Ultimately, meditation is a very personal way of becoming more intimate with yourself. 

Using the process of exploring the breath to get inside of ourselves is a huge step towards wholeness. In this podcast, Trillium teacher Jim Troffater uses a modification of the Judith Blackstone method of inhabiting the body. This is a tried and true, very effective way of integrating the embodiment aspect of awakening. This helps...

Bringing our attention into our body and heart can bring us into the sacred “now” moment. In that moment, the heart can taste what is actually here. In order to participate in this beautiful meditation by Cielle Backstrom, one needs to only come home to what is true in this moment. Happiness but also worry,...

This meditation by Trillium Teacher Bill Epperly is focused on sending out loving energy from the heart to others as a way to practice sending out good will. Calling forth the essence of our most loved ones has a way of connecting us deeply to the unlimited loving energy that we hold within. From this...

Trillium teacher Jim Trofatter leads us in a meditation inspired by Judith Blackstone titled “attuning to your fundamental consciousness.” We will then work on three areas in the body – the head, belly, and heart, to help us return deeper into our center – the natural state of our being.

In the Trillium teaching, we emphasize these three aspects: opening to infinite consciousness, embodiment of this consciousness, and our connection with each other in mutuality. This enlivening meditation by interning teacher Bill Epperly invites us to tap into the first aspect: The vast, primordial consciousness that always resides within, for the intention of bringing awakening,...

Breathing is the central element in this meditation by Bill Miller. Looking outward as well as inward are both examples of seeking, and can indicate an anxious mind. Once noticed, they can be an invitation to come back to your breath and let the desire for experience just be. From this place, we can notice...

On our path of awakening, we endeavor to free ourselves from the prison of non-separateness. By widening our circle of compassion to embrace all of life, we can begin to sense our non-separateness from all living creatures – not only those few that we have become close to in our lifetime but to all of...

What do you do when you can’t figure out what’s coming down the road? The simple answer is trust. The unknown is not the great barrier that we usually perceive it to be, but rather an empty container in which to house new openings, new explanations, and new points of view. Join interning Trillium teacher...

In this meditation by Trillium teacher June Konopka, we inquire into our own awareness – the silent, open emptiness that is unchanging and unbounded. Through deeper inquiry, we may also paradoxically discover frequencies arising from, and finding life in, this emptiness, frequencies such as ecstatic movement, love and compassion. These frequencies are available to feed...

The process of meditation is to connect you more with your essential self, to bring your spirit into this physical space. The idea of practicing meditation is to bring greater alignment to what we feel, think, say and do – to harmonize all the different parts of ourselves. Join Trillium teacher Allan Morelock as we...

In order to fully relax into the moment, it is helpful to see that even the intention to meditate has its inherent effort. Join Trillium teacher Steve Boggs in this meditation and notice the sense of inherent well being that is always inside of us.
