In this episode I share the intense period when the Supramental Force (SAT Force) began descending and repeatedly pulled me into deep Samadhi — multiple times every day, often for 60–90 minutes at a time. This was completely different from Kundalini or Shaktipat. The force came from above, had its own intelligence, and did not negotiate. It would take me at work, on the sofa with the children, or during formal meditation. There was no choice but to surrender. I describe: • How the force first appeared after the intensive with Sat Shree • The two distinct types of Samadhi it produced (Savikalpa and Nirvikalpa) • What it actually felt like when it entered the system • How daily life had to rearrange itself around these absorptions • The deeper purpose of this force on the path This was one of the most powerful and beautiful phases of the entire journey. 📖 From my book: Waking Up from the Dream 🌐 Website & sessions: https://www.truespiritualawakening.eu 🔔 Subscribe for more direct experiences of spiritual awakening, Kundalini, Samadhi, and the unfolding of consciousness. 00:00 – Intro 00:38 – What the supramental force is 01:31 – Part 1: Understanding the supramental force 01:58 – Sri Aurobindo’s vision of supermind 03:22 – Knowledge by identity and truth consciousness 03:51 – Transforming mind, life, and body 04:52 – The Sat: The force of pure being 05:21 – Part 2: Why open to the supramental force? 05:50 – From awakening to deeper transformation 06:40 – Self-realization, unity, and transformation 07:05 – Part 3: When does it appear on the spiritual path? 07:31 – Gareth’s awakening, Shakti, and Kundalini timeline 08:21 – Surrender and readiness for the force 08:48 – Part 4: Gareth’s experience of the descent 09:18 – How the force entered daily life 09:28 – Who is the supramental force for? 10:00 – Closing reflections and invitation to share experiences #Samadhi #Supramental #SpiritualAwakening

What actually happens when the crown chakra opens - and why it usually unfolds in stages, not all at once? Gareth Duignam maps his own awakening from a spontaneous gym breakthrough to Shaktipat, Kundalini rising into the brain, and the eventual shift into unity consciousness, revealing the three distinct crown openings that changed everything. This episode is a rare first-person guide through a spiritual timeline most people only hear about in fragments. Gareth connects the dots between the root awakenings, the body-based purification, and the subtle but unmistakable shifts in bliss, samadhi, and nondual awareness that marked each stage of his path. You'll discover: Why chakras are more than a spiritual concept and how they relate to healing, conditioning, and awakening Why the crown chakra is different from the other six centers and what it opens you to Jan Esman's three-stage model of crown opening, including the coin-sized opening, the helmet of golden light, and the full lotus bloom How Gareth experienced each stage in real time, from energetic pouring at the top of the head to deeper and more continuous bliss Why the crown opening becomes clearer when you place it alongside the larger arc of awakening Gareth also explains how each milestone prepared the ground for the next, from the 2016 gym awakening to the 2018 Shaktipat intensive, the January 2019 Kundalini surge, the late 2019 unity shift, and the full crown stabilization in April 2020. The result is a grounded, step-by-step look at a process that can sound abstract until you hear it lived from the inside. If you've experienced crown activity, Kundalini movement, or a sense that consciousness is opening in stages, this conversation will give you a much clearer map. Essential listening for anyone drawn to awakening, subtle energy, or the deeper mechanics of spiritual transformation. 🌐 Website & sessions: https://www.truespiritualawakening.eu 00:00 Intro 00:17 The three stages of crown chakra opening 01:16 What chakras are and why they matter 02:12 The seven main chakras explained 02:51 Chakras, healing, and spiritual purification 04:36 Why the crown chakra is unique 05:56 Why the crown opens in stages 06:26 Gareth’s awakening timeline from 2016 to 2020 08:12 What the crown chakra actually is 09:22 Stage 1: The coin-sized opening 10:23 Stage 2: The helmet of golden light 11:22 Stage 3: The full lotus opening 12:30 How the crown stages fit into the wider journey 12:40 The crown opening as an unfolding process #crownchakra #SpiritualAwakening #SelfRealization #NonDuality #Kundalini #Consciousness #awakeningpeoplespecialepisode

I Became One With Everything – Unity Consciousness Explained In this episode I share the direct experience of shifting from Self-Realization into Unity Consciousness — the moment the borders of the being collapsed and there was no longer an “inside” or an “outside.” I explain the clear difference between: • Self-Realization (localised awareness) • Unity Consciousness (non-localised awareness) You’ll hear exactly how the shift happened for me, what disappeared, what remained, and what it actually feels like when the container of consciousness shatters. This is one of the most significant thresholds on the spiritual path. ⏱️ Timestamps: 00:00 – Introduction 02:15 – Self-Realization vs Unity Consciousness 05:40 – The lived experience of the shift 07:20 – What changes after Unity 10:50 – Pointers for recognising the border 📖 From my book: Waking Up from the Dream 🔔 Subscribe for more direct experiences of spiritual awakening, Kundalini, and the unfolding of consciousness. 🌐 Website & sessions: https://www.truespiritualawakening.eu #unityconsciousness #SpiritualAwakening #SelfRealization #NonDuality #Kundalini #Consciousness #awakeningpeoplespecialepisode

The day Kundalini hit the brain changed everything - and if you’ve felt energy moving up your spine, this episode will help you make sense of what’s happening. Gareth Duignam breaks down one of the most intense experiences of his life, then goes deeper into the mechanics behind Kundalini, why it gets stuck, and what a full rising can do to the nervous system. Rather than just telling a spiritual story, Gareth connects his firsthand experience to a practical understanding of what Kundalini actually is - the evolutionary energy of consciousness, not just “energy” in the usual sense. He explains why the rising can feel ecstatic, overwhelming, painful, and transformative all at once, and why the process often seems to stall at the heart, throat, skull, or shoulders. You’ll discover: What Kundalini is and why it’s described as intelligent, directional, and transformative What’s happening in the central channel, chakras, and nervous system during a rising Why emotional material, trauma, and conditioned patterns can create blockages What Gareth experienced when the energy finally broke through into the brain Why a full rising often brings a quieter, more stable phase afterward Gareth also shares the practical side of navigating Kundalini activity without trying to force it. He emphasizes rest, grounding, simplicity, devotion, and surrender - and explains why the deeper intelligence of the process often decides the pace long before the mind does. If you’re in the middle of a Kundalini awakening, have felt partial risings, or just want a clear, grounded account of a phenomenon most people talk about in vague terms, this is essential listening. It’s part lived experience, part map, and part reassurance that what feels overwhelming may actually be unfolding with purpose. 🌐 Connect with Gareth https://linktr.ee/truespiritualawakening 00:00:00 - Episode setup: Intro 00:00:30 - What this episode will explain beyond the personal story 00:00:59 - Who this is for: partial risings, spinal energy, and curiosity 00:01:29 - Kundalini as the evolutionary energy of consciousness 00:01:58 - Why Kundalini is more than simple vitality 00:02:26 - How awakening dismantles the limited sense of self 00:02:44 - What is happening during a Kundalini rising 00:03:14 - Blockages, trauma, and purification through the central channel 00:03:41 - Nervous system rewiring and chakra activation 00:04:11 - Why rising can feel ecstatic and overwhelming 00:04:24 - The January 2019 blockage and the healer friend’s scan 00:04:53 - Activation during classical piano and the first surge upward 00:05:24 - The energy gets trapped in the neck 00:05:40 - Breakthrough at the skull and entry into the brain 00:06:09 - Pain, orgasmic intensity, and two hours of paralysis 00:06:39 - Why Kundalini often gets stuck at specific points 00:07:11 - What changed after the energy entered the brain 00:07:38 - A quieter spine and the start of deeper integration 00:08:35 - How to respond if Kundalini activity is happening now 00:09:01 - Surrender, devotion, and not trying to control the process 00:09:16 - The intelligence of Kundalini and the reassurance for listeners 00:09:45 - Closing reflection and sign-off
