Teachers, in their own words
Non-dual, insight, contemplative and secular teachers from their own channels. Nothing here awakens anyone; it is a room. If practice becomes frightening or life starts coming apart, read the guide’s difficult-experiences section first and reduce the practice.
Non-dual
The Essential Non-Dual Teachings, Direct Path & Self-Enquiry
Self-enquiry in plain English, from the teacher’s own channel. Start with what is aware of this moment.
Enlightenment, Awakening, Peace & Happiness
Questions and answers on what awakening is and is not. Careful, unhurried; no promises.
Guided General Meditations & Yoga Meditations
Guided meditations resting as awareness. Sit or lie down; motion low.
Guided Meditations
Adyashanti’s public guided meditations: allowing everything to be as it is. He speaks openly about the difficulties of the path elsewhere in his work.
Self-Inquiry Guidance ~ Make This Your Freedom Practice
A guided self-inquiry session from the teacher’s channel. Devotional in tone; take what is useful.
Guided Meditation with Mooji ~ The Boundless Ocean of Being
A long guided meditation resting in being. Lie down if you like; the dark field suits it.
Presence
Doorways into Presence
Short teachings on presence and the space behind thought, from the official channel.
Meditations by Eckhart Tolle
Guided meditations from the official channel. Presence practice, not visualisation.
Philosophy

Alan Watts | Philosophies of Asia
Comparative background: Vedanta, Buddhism, Taoism, Zen — where the words on this page come from.
Insight
Vipassana
Insight meditation instruction from the teacher’s channel: the steady-attention and open-awareness practices the guide describes.
Retreat Talks
Longer retreat talks. Buddhist-rooted, warm, and honest about fear and doubt on the path.
Living Insight with Jack Kornfield
Jack Kornfield at Spirit Rock, from the centre’s own channel. Insight, kindness and the ordinary life afterwards.
Awareness Meditation Training
A structured training in awareness practice from a pragmatic-dharma community that talks plainly about stages and rough patches.
Pragmatic Dharma
Conversations on the maps of insight — including the difficult stretches the guide calls the dark night. Context, not instruction.
Secular
Waking Up App: A Guide to Understanding the Mind
A secular introduction to the same territory — no tradition required — from the author’s channel. The app it describes is a paid product; the videos are not.
Contemplative reading
Job 38 — the voice from the whirlwind (a reading)
Job 38:2–38 read aloud — the oldest text in the Western canon on awe and the limits of the self. Opens on Facebook; the same chapter is free to read at Bible Gateway.
The Book of Job’s Wisdom on How God Runs the World
What the whirlwind speech is doing: not an answer, but a change of scale. From the studio’s own channel.
Book of Job Summary: A Complete Animated Overview
The whole book in a few minutes, so chapter 38 lands where it should — after the arguing.
Reading the Bible as Meditation Literature: Psalms 1 and 2
How these texts were meant to be read: slowly, aloud, returned to. The practice under lectio divina.
Bible Meditation on Psalm 19:1–4
‘The heavens declare’ — a short meditation from the Taizé community on the same awe as Job 38.
Taizé Prayer
Sung, repetitive, unhurried prayer from the community’s own channel — the Christian contemplative strand in the guide, as sound.
