Wake Up: Stages · full recording

How do people actually get there?

Most of us know the words at the top of the ladder. Love, bliss, letting go of the self. Very few of us live there. In this hour I map every step of the way, so you can see where you stand.

Grab a cup of tea. It is a full hour, recorded live with a small group.

In this hour

  • The nine steps of consciousness, from innocence to bliss, drawn from Tara Springett's work.
  • What each step feels like from the inside, and what it believes about you.
  • The catch-22 of meditation: why people quit just when it starts to work.
  • Why you can't see your own patterns alone. Other people are the mirror.
  • A short self-check: one question per step. The one that stings points to your step.
