10 Months After My Kensho — I Need to Be Honest

Reflecting on the 10 months since the kensho experience, the speaker notes that the initial 'fireworks' and intensity have subsided. However, the presence remains deepened and serves as the foundation for daily life, effectively ending the search.

A major change post-awakening is the disappearance of the constant, narrating self-talk. The speaker describes living in the 'here and now' without the need to mentally comment on or analyze every experience, which leads to a lightness of being and reduced resistance to life.

dispelling the myth that awakening instantly 'clears' the nervous system. The speaker shares that they still deal with stress, exhaustion, and physical sensitivity, but now view these sensations as information rather than problems created by a narrative self.

Discussing the development of heightened sensitivity and an open heart. The speaker explains how they now intuitively perceive energetic states in others, which has become a fundamental tool in their work to help clients move from head-based intellectualization to heart-centered presence.

The speaker recaps key takeaways: that presence remains after the excitement fades, the nervous system requires care regardless of awakening, and the true mark of spiritual growth is the ability to maintain an open heart to all of reality's experiences.
