3. Emotional Enlightenment - becoming unafraid of feelings
4. Physical Enlightenment - bringing love to the body
5. Spiritual Enlightenment - aka awakening - recognising your permanent presence. Your spiritual nature
6. Whole-istic Enlightenment - recognising that it's all included...and that from this spacious, light wholeness of the inclusion of all - the next perfect clear, clean, aligned action happens - the unique expression of you. Effortless. And feeling good.

Such a great recap Helen and great to revisit it all in one micro learning! Perfect timing as I have disconnected during August so brings me perfectly back into my reflections for the weekly calls
Amazing! Thank you Jean 🙏 I’m so glad. See you Wednesday for the call.
The audio is the worst I've ever heard! Sorry to be so blunt but it needs work! Can you make another video with better audio?
Hey! I appreciate you sharing. It’s great to get feedback in all forms. My dear friend worked on this audio because originally there was loads of background noise, but listening to it now (and comparing it to the original he produced) it’s evident that the upload to CZcams has done something to it! I know I won’t be able to replicate this video exactly - life is too spontaneous for that. But it is a theme I’ll come back to again. I also wrote on the theme if that’s preferable to listening to this - wildfigsolutions.co.uk/2024/08/22/why-unconditional-love-can-be-scary/
Wonderful, thank you. I found I was far more present and aware throughout this transmission, in contrast to the more slightly spaced-out (but luscious) experiences arising during the other transmissions - but then, if it's not too cringe-making a comment re a transmission entitled "Like Water" - I suppose that's just living proof that you can't step into the same rive twice. Thank you again for posting this, Helen.
You’re so welcome! Thats so cool to have noticed that difference. And absolutely - never the same river twice. Not cringe at all. Total truth. Also loving that you brought rivers into it given my river metaphor for our experience! ❤️
How’s it been the last couple of days? What have you been noticing about your experience?
@@helenamery Oh, so lovely of you to ask, Helen. Definitely more of a spacious feeling, definitely more episodes of suddenly finding myself spontaneously in less thought, definitely a feeling of expanded time, definitely more of an all-round peaceful feeling - so all in all I can only say a hugely beneficial experience all round, thank you. There was a bit of a period after the Patience transmission where it was almost like 'is the universe having a laugh?" as a whole host of little niggly things seemed to be conspiring to test my patience to the max, but that didn't last very long and I found it more amusing than anything else - although must say they were only minor niggles: I haven't suddenly become some saintly angel of forbearance, just a tad more detached and less wind-upable. So, brilliant, thank you, and although I haven't the slightest notion what this process actually is, how it's meant to work and how you discovered it (have you posted a video on this, I wonder, Helen?), I would certainly recommend anyone intrigued by it to at least give it a go and see what the experience is like for yourself. I expect we're all very different - as we are in so many things - but you can't lose much by giving it a whirl, and I sincerely hope if you do, you'll gain as much as I did.
How wonderful @MazeyDaze! I’m delighted! You’ve gained the kind of experience everyone is looking for! I love that you’ve fully given it a go, and been open to it, despite not understanding it at an intellectual level. Perfect evidence that it’s the experience that makes the difference. No amount of knowledge changes that. I’m sure I must have done a video about it. I know there’s one in my community. I’ll see if there’s a public one and share it. But just so you know, my intellectual mind doesn’t fully understand how they work either! This is all about that which is before the mind. Impossible for us to fully grasp. I really appreciate that you’d recommend it to others too. Indeed, if you’re happy with this idea, I’ll share your feedback on the newsletter so others can see what was available from those simple 4 days ❤️ I don’t tend to put names to things but let me know if you’d like me to. Thank you 🙏 my heart is warm knowing the difference this has made.
Loved it, thanks - just wish there weren't an intrusive advert interrupting the peace halfway through the transmission
Oh no Jan! That’s rubbish! I thought I’d turned all ads off on my account. I’ll have to check again. Much nicer to be in peace for the whole thing. I’ve got options for peaceful ones. Just let me know.
@@helenamery So grateful if you could do that as it really is a bit of a rude awakening suddenly exploding in on such blissful peace. I know it's none of your doing, of course, Helen. The ad between your intro and the start if the transmission is fine, but one half way through the actual transmission itself...well, not the kind if vibe you were aiming at, I imagine.
Totally not! Thanks so much for letting me know 🙏
@@MazeyDaze I don't know if you saw the message I sent out in the Community section here - thanks to you sharing! It's led to the discovery that there are online ad blockers (which is the only option until I have a big enough CZcams account that they let me choose). Here's the community chat thread... czcams.com/users/postUgkx1vuAz0YdR-SBxw4RRLdMLN2EgJk0mzuh
@@helenameryAh, I so appreciate you going to so much trouble, Helen. I am following the 4 day transmissions journey in line with the email you sent out a few days ago. Yesterday I did Day 3: Patience, and am pleased to report there are no jarring interruptions on that, hurrah! So just waiting to see what happens with Day 4 this evening. On the actual experience of the transmissions themselves, I am absolutely loving them. I seem to go instantaneously into a state of unusual (for me) peace, punctuated by one or two odd feelings of a brief energy jolt like a sudden dizziness. Goodness knows what is happening or how these "work", but I can definitely feel there is some kind of positive effect they're having, even though I'd be hard-pressed to say just what it is exactly, so thank you for posting them.
Well it may not change anytime soon for me
Why’s that Kathy?
@@helenamery I didn't find anyone who cares about me, so it's hard to find people to trust. I often cope by listening to other people. But many times I stumble upon good listeners. Lately I try to share but I can't trust them, and their flaws get magnified in my mind.
@@Kathy-qt8a sounds tough for you. Would you like some questions to reflect on for your journey with this?
@@helenamery What questions?
Questions like…what do you know about the relationship between how the world shows up, and how you are?
Hey Amery It's Borhan here! I'm a huge fan of your "Helen Amery" CZcams channel. Your content is always top-notch, and I can see the passion and effort you pour into each video. I believe you have incredible potential to reach an even wider audience with a solid CZcams strategy. I would love to schedule a short meeting with you to discuss how I can help you grow your channel faster. This is not a sales call, but an opportunity to share ideas and offer assistance. Let me know if you're interested, and we can find a convenient time to chat. Thanks for your time and for creating such amazing content.
Sounds interesting Aitch boy oh boy does that land ! booked a call with you on Tuesday ❤🙏
Yay for our call and yay for this landing. Be great to have you in if it feels good after we chat.
I love your book, so glad you are on CZcams
Thanks John! Have you already completed it?
This is fantastic, Helen. Such clarity.
Thank you Andrew! 🤩
This Rumi quote is so aligned with my work. Amazing!
It’s the best quote isn’t it!! ❤️
thank you. this is stated so incredibly well. This is real. Thank you
I’m so glad you feel that! Thank you 🙏
Helen, the way I see it, is because of your "awakening". This is what new age does to you. It is a self centered faith, where you turn yourself into the center of the universe. Have you tried praying.
Thank you. Many emotions are deep-seated and feel "automatic." Acceptance and self-compassion are the learnings here.
Oh yes Jan I totally agree the emotions are automatic, and so is our fear response to them. And then so too is the resistance to the fear! So yes acceptance and self compassion is huge in this journey. Reminding your system that those qualities of acceptance and compassion are your nature. Which supports the disentangling and the de-coupling of the emotions from ideas of who you think you are. Stunning. Thanks so much for sharing Jan 🙏
Thanks Helen. None of it was obvious to me and all three hit the spot. Great stuff.
Oh amazing!! Thank you for sharing 🙏
❤
Thank you Nat 🙏❤️
Hi! Helen , what a pleasure to see and ear u! I feel joyfull to recognize what it is with you. You are the enlightment u does , it 's such a good vibration only to listen to u, and the way u give the expérience is so kind, soft ..my english is limited but it's sure you have found the unlimited. Thanks so much. I'm gonna see you again it's cool 👍😊❤🤓✨🌹🤍🌟💐🤩🙏
Thank you so much 🙏❤️ I really appreciate you writing.
So perfectly clear and true
Thank you! I love how you’re resonating with what I’m sharing 🙏❤️
Wow Its like you made this video for me lol. Love that quote as well! ❤🙏
Oh wow!! Thank you! This makes me very happy ❤️
What is misalignment?
It’s what happens when we’re afraid of our experience (thoughts, feelings, emotions, physical experiences) which then manifests as problems with the world. And we feel ‘off’ in some way. Rather than being with, and being OK with all of it, as it is. There’s more in this vid… czcams.com/video/lpF9p4dbGOs/video.htmlsi=FuL5HAPG5lzUvLwv
Amazing, direct, profound. This speaks to me so much. Thank you.
Thank you Jan! I’m so glad! ❤️
I just heard you on the non-duality podcast too, and then because of that I read your book last week. It was really beautiful and clear, thank you :)
Thank you Peter! 🙏 That’s speedy reading! It’s sounding like the subject matter is familiar to you.
@@helenamery Yeah, pretty familiar. I have read a lot of non-duality books and gone through what I would classify as an awakening experience a couple of years ago, which was a big rug-pull moment, and which brought up lots of other stuff, fears and places where there was/is still holding on/contraction. I have been working in a couple of different ways with people to try and integrate that and soften things, and also trying to hand it over and let it takes its own course. Because thought still wants to come in and comment on the process, and sometimes roll it all up in a bag and tangle it all back up into thinking. But anyway, there was something in your book - I don't know what exactly - some calm friendly assurance about this process or the laying out of everything in such simple language - and it has just softened the awareness a little bit. It feels more aligned - like when you go to chiropractics and they adjust your joints. Or maybe, to use a river analogy, the flow of awareness is a bit calmer, not so choppy! That's how it feels right now, anyway, after reading, so thank you!
Wonderful @peterbunzlauthor! I’m so glad the book’s had that effect. And that our intention to be friendly, simple and clear has come over to you. I also love that you’re doing things to integrate and soften, so valuable. I also notice the word ‘trying’ and think of our dear friend Yoda. What would it be like absent of that?
@@helenamery 😂 Yoda is my favourite non-duality guy. Yes, trying is a subtle story-word, you’re right. The mind/ thought / something here does love a good story!
@peterbunzlauthor oh how awesome! He is a very wise dude. And stories are amazing! We are infinitely creative. Which is such a delight when we know who we are and what the story is 🤩
Just heard you on The Nonduality Podcast ...you came across really good ❤
Thank you very much ❤️ And thank you for listening 🙏 Where are you on your journey?
@@helenamery Welcome :) Im not really sure. When alone I'm in that deep peace but when I'm around people that changes and im suffering. Just started doing emotion work this week and that is definitely helping, I can tell even after a week of starting to just recognise emotions and just let them be instead of resisting them. Found Eckarts book when covid began and I've just been seeking ever since , that's all I do lol, nothing else seems to have importance ( of course I look after my family etc) Look forward to catching up on some of your videos soon :)
That resonates so much. It’s very normal that once we’ve recognised our nature, the contrast with times of suffering gets greater. And it’s perfect because look how it’s led you into a different exploration with your emotions. To enlighten. That’s a lot of the work I do with people now. I also resonate with the stage when it’s an all-consuming ‘hobby’! That’s a great sign to me that you’ve woken up to who you are and now you really want to live in the reliable, sustainable abidance of that. Wonderful!! ❤️
@@helenamery These words are really encouraging...thank you so much for taking the time to reply 🙏
@Jamieyesssssssmann7 you’re so welcome!
Interesting point Aitch ! I've so far lived a life of interminable frustrations with adopted roles and compromised compliance to work or indeed relationships that I believed then was what one did in order to fit in survive & to be accepted. Classic conditioning adopted in all innocence as we all do. Trust that the conference is going well! Thanks Gently 🙏
“As we all do” - absolutely! Always doing our best based on what looks real and true. And then doing better when we know better. Or perhaps doing better when we release into better. And thank you for remembering about the conference. It’s been going really well thanks. People are loving all the speakers and how it’s all been curated into a journey through the themes.
You're flying at present long may it continue 🙏
Thank you Tony 🙏 Certainly in the past I’d have got scared and pulled back by now - but it wouldn’t have felt like fear. It simply looked like justifiable behaviour with very logical reasons. Or pulling back subconsciously happened and I didn’t even contemplate any other option. It was just the norm. So let’s see..!
Good morning Helen! I’m reading your book atm! I’ve recognised awareness with your help! So pleased about that! But what do I need to understand to remain in awareness! I sometimes sink into thoughts again! Do I need to keep bringing myself back to awareness of my experiences or is the initial realisation of my consciousness enough.. I tend to disolve into my subconscious and become tense if I’m not aware so potentially answering my own question here??? Thanks
Ahh this is so great to hear!! ❤️ And yes, you have answered your own question, and, keep going with the book. It is totally normal to oscillate - until you don’t. By that point the recognition is a beautiful background knowing. Have you got to Part Two? That, and the continuation into Part Three, helps cement and deepen the recognition.
@@helenamery thanks!! I’m on page 180, chapter 7 - are you an object? So still have half the book left..
@theflowmaestro awesome! This part will really help with clarity of who you are.
@@helenamery thanks for your comments! I’m on the right path it seems hehe
@theflowmaestro you’re welcome! And absolutely!!
1. Write a love letter from “your person's” point of view, to you... 2. Focus only on the good memories you’ve had, or on what you want to do together. 3. Be very detailed and thorough. 4. Fall in love with yourself in the letter. Profess love to yourself. To the degree in which you can profess love to yourself through the letter is to the degree in which they will love you. Feel and believe the love that you want them to give you. 5. Fully believe that this person gave you this letter. 6. Remove all doubt from your mind and old stories about your past/future together. 100% conviction of what is contained in the letter is your new reality. 7. Fold this letter towards you and seal. That is now what is going to happen. 8. Put it under your pillow and sleep with it. Remember the feeling of what it felt like to receive this letter. 9. When in doubt re-read the letter.
Hi Helen, I recently saw you on the non duality podcast and HAD to search you.. I noticed the south West Country twang in your accent also.. I’m from Bristol you see! Your book is ace so far btw.. just sat here reading it now.. I was wondering if you do any work one 2 one with people or workshops? Thanks Helen.. keep up this wonderful work….
Hi! Thanks so much for finding me here. And really glad you’re enjoying the book. We actually have a group starting this Wednesday. We’ll be meeting weekly to walk through the book journey together - courses.thoughtfulraven.co.uk/courses/realising-awakening-jan-2024 And yes there is one-to-one aswell, which would be likely for a February start - wildfigsolutions.co.uk/2023/09/18/awakening-conversations/ Let me know if you have any questions about either or both.
@@helenamery great! Thanks for your response.. I’ll continue reading your book & potentially enrol on one of the workshops sometime in the future.. I imagined group face to face satsangs for some reason!! Haha.. what a great book.. my okness was not ok before I read the chapter on ‘what is suffering?’ Wow can’t wait to finish this book now.. I’m very lucky to have found it…
You’re welcome @theflowmaestro, perfect timing as I’d just sat down with my phone. We aren’t really satsang kinda gals. But we do have fortnightly calls in the Thoughtful Raven Community where people bring whatever is on their mind, or questions from the book, that they want to explore.
@@helenamery You had me by the satsangs at one point haha great.. I believe the timing was spot on to… yes!! Synchronisations galore - thanks..
I do love a good diagram. Could do without quite so many commercials with people shouting about passive income streams and pepper spray. Seems quite unnecessary. But this preference, however sensible it might seem, doesn’t prevent them from appearing. So then these reminders of a hyper-depressing world of stressful unnecessary nonsense that target the mind for torture can, perhaps, be pointers back to an original serenity or ultimate freedom.
Thank you Christian! I’m so glad you love it. And what a fabulous way of seeing the value of those adverts. Everything is happening for us ❤️
@@helenamery a river is such a good analogy also because it begins with all sorts of mysterious little tributaries and eventually flows back into the great deep mysterious ocean… and so too this moment of awareness with its innumerable silent and invisible contributors the mind will never be aware of…
Written very poetically! The phrase ‘this moment of awareness’ caught my attention. I got the feeling from that of awareness appearing for a moment, and then being gone. Is that how the experience of awareness looks to you?
I don’t have enough confidence in my mind to say.
No worries! Would you like that confidence?
This is great Helen ❤❤❤
Thank you Paul! 🙏❤️
Whats up. saw your CZcams channel and understand you are a CZcamsr. Very nice video on your channel, I really enjoyed it. Total subscribers 321 and a Total of 262 Uploaded videos of your channel. I noticed one thing according to your channel your channel videos are not viewed and subscribed. You need to optimize your channel and do video SEO to reach your target audience. Otherwise, if you upload videos to your channel throughout the year, none of your videos will get viral views. If your channel is optimized a little and if the videos are SEO then your channel will rank very fast and your channel will grow. And monetization of your channel will be on. As a professional digital marketer, I want to help you with this. let's discuss your channel I am looking forward to your response
Thanks for your interest and offer to help, but I’m good with things as they are.

Yes thanks. I appreciate it.
@@helenamery hi
What was Ken Wilber said? Wake up, clear up, grow up? Recently, I stumbled upon a women who never meditated a day in her life, yet awakened. She read Eckhart Tolle's The Power of Now, did Byron Katies' "The Work" on a slough of stuff that was triggering her, and finally had a conversation with an awakened teacher, and that's all it took. Maybe some old patterns remain to be cleared, but that remains to be seen. Personally, I found Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) highly effective for remaining triggers. Today, I continue to work Jnana yoga.
Hey Ken, yes it made a lot of sense when I came across Ken Wilber’s work. And a wholehearted yes from me for the unique-ness of each person’s path. Tell me more about Jnana Yoga.
Why do we seek? Is there any reason to seek a better future if we're fully comfortable and content with the way our body feels now? When thoughts slow down, you may notice that there is discomfort in the body, which may show up in a myriad of ways: pain, anxiety, anger, or any other sensation or emotion... This is part of the reason that we get addicted to thought- because it’s an immediately available way to avoid or try to fix the way our bodies feel. We won't be able to rest in presence for very long if we keep ignoring or avoiding discomfort. Rather, we'll continue to follow thoughts about past and future. We'll keep trying to escape. So, how do we bring direct attention to the energies of our body? The first step is to acknowledge that you are feeling something. We tend to acknowledge emotions and sensations first through the mind... We might think, "I’m angry," or "I’m afraid of what might happen," or we may simply notice that something is bothering us... But we can't feel emotions or sensations through thinking. These thoughts are narratives or labels for how we feel. They are not the actual energies themselves. For example, if you have the thought "I have a stomachache," that thought is a label for something that is actually happening in your body. In order to actually feel or experience the stomachache directly, you would have to bring attention down into the stomach area and feel it without thoughts on it. The same is true for all emotions and sensations. Once you acknowledge that you feel something or have been triggered by someone or some event, bring attention very gently to the body where you feel the actual emotion or sensation. With your attention there, feel into the sensation or emotion, and see if you can notice the peripheral space around it at the same time. Let the emotion or sensation just hang there in that open space, without trying to change, neutralize, or get rid of it. It is common to want to change, neutralize, or get rid of bodily energies. Just notice any tendency to want to do these things. This is resistance at work, and trying to stop that resistance from happening is simply adding more resistance. Bear in mind that we give power to words, pictures, and bodily energies by turning awareness away from them. And we diminish their power by turning toward them and remaining aware of them until they fade naturally. That one simple understanding, if turned into a daily practice, is highly transformative.
Thanks for this great comment: I couldn’t agree more as it’s been a transformative part of my journey, and is included in my book as one of the explorations for awakening. Thank you for sharing 🙏
“Nice” is overrrated and obligation based. And we’re all narcissistic.
Hi Helen, hope you are well. I am Rifat Hossen, and I am a CZcams SEO Expert and Thumbnail Designer. Your channel is fine, but your video description, title, tags, and thumbnails are not fine. Can I join your team to optimize video metadata, titles, tags, descriptions and create eye-catching thumbnails, and develop our channel?
Hi Aitch Happy New Year Hope all is well... when is this gig happening? Sounds like there will be some talent on board 😊
Hi Tony! Great to hear from you. Yes I’m really excited about it. It’s 17th to 19th Jan, with access to the recordings till the morning of 22nd. Be great to see you there. wildfigsolutions.co.uk/2023/12/15/enlightenment-summit/
I had no clue about spirituality. I was very sick and disabled. I was so stressed out. Then I read about meditation, and once I began, I quickly discovered that I had thoughts, but I'm not my thoughts! Who am I? Then a few weeks later I knew i was spirit, and all is well. I simply knew my health challenges were over, and they were. I was blessed not to have any spiritual knowledge.
How amazing! And you’re so right, spiritual knowledge can really slow the process down sometimes. I’m so delighted your journey was so easy from when you started meditation. Did you use a particular kind of meditation?
Or you’ve finally realized you were surrounded by narcissist’s and upon awakening you say enough is enough. It tends to feel like you’ve reversed roles just to stand your ground. Difference is you aren’t trying to manipulate others and pull them down to feel superior. It’s foreign to not people please … the narcissist will accuse you of being like you viewed them because they always accuse you of what they do. Love yourself stand for truth and justice (not revenge) and know you are not alone. Much love and hugs!!!
What a wonderful reply. So true. I’ll be sure to share with the person whose concern this was.
I want to awaken!
That’s great! What have you already explored or tried?
@@helenamery Meditation Swana Yoga Lucid Dreaming Ayahuasca Baptism in the name of Jesus Christ I'm open minded. I search everywhere.
@kinildsongessiopersegueiro so all of those can help with enlightenment (clearing conditioning from the system) and, when done for long enough, it will reveal your already-awake nature. The alternative route to awakening is the direct path which uses self inquiry to see how your experience already is. It looks directly at the truth of who you essentially are, and what you are not. Most people’s paths involve both. And certainly after awakening there’s usually plenty still available for enlightening. Are you interested in a direct path option?
@@helenamery I've heard about self inquiry, didn't check it properly. Do you charge?
@kinildsongessiopersegueiro I do. You could start with my book if you like - “The Complete Book of Awakening”. Then we have a bunch of courses and a community to support the reading of the book, as well as private sessions which are obvs the highest investment. All the courses and community (and free resources that go with the book) are here - courses.thoughtfulraven.co.uk
Unique concept
Thank you! You’ve helped me realise lots of people have been saying that ❤️ I feel happy to know this is something unique 😊
This is absolutely why my YESing game totally overrides this system!
Because it takes ‘am I worth it?’ out of the equation?

I believe this may be an incomplete thought. If anyone has a better way of saying what I am trying to say. I am interested in hearing it. I struggle with this a great deal & I have had this thought. I wonder if the cause is sometimes directly related to the fact. That I am not receiving it from the person I want it from the most. So I invalidate it. It is difficult not to accept because there is a sense of pleasure in receiving. Because someone is giving you attention in a positive way. But, this is followed by guilt, then shame. Which causes me to feel I need to reciprocate by giving up something I value. I do not have a healthy way of determining that value. An example: someone gives me $1.00. I then return, $3.00-$5.00, because, I feel that what I return must have a much greater value in order for it to be believed or taken seriously. I am trying to address this as it relates to breaking a cycle that cannot be fulfilled. It is connected to not being in the present moment & this continually sabotaging the ability to get beyond it. If, these instances are connected to the past & specific individuals. I am thinking somewhere along the lines connected to the idea that in these instances I am completely unable to see the actual person being kind to me & associating it with another person. A person who will not ever be present. It's possible that I am on the verge some sort of personal epiphany. That many already understand. Perhaps, I am close to making an actual point. Or, I am just shy of, bat💩 crazy. Feedback is welcome.
This totally hits home with me, wow
Oh wow! I’m so glad!! ❤️
You'e put this so well, thank you
Thank you! I’m so glad it landed for you.
This just came up for me in therapy last Wednesday. I saw the title and almost passed over it, suspicious of another example of CZcams quackery! This really landed for me. I look forward to more videos from you !
Ahh thanks Roger! I’m so delighted I’m not in the CZcams quackery category 🤩
Great video Helen, so well put! Your explanation revealed what happens so quickly we don’t even notice!
Thank you!! And thank you for noticing that, I hadn’t seen that clearly till you said it, but yes, you’re right. It’s like the process got slowed down so I could see it and reveal the confusion in the middle. ❤️
My thinking and my fears have become very good friends 😳
That sounds great…which has me confused by the emoji…because that one looks scared to me. Am I mis-reading something?
@@helenamery come to think of it the emoji does look scary. It’s supposed to look surprised
Ahh well that fits - it is a lovely surprise to realise we’re not afraid of fearful thoughts and feelings anymore ❤️
@@helenamery I agree. Yet there are times when I ride past them sending them of with love. And there are times where I’m lost and close myself of to this world wondering where I went wrong.
What have you already explored, inquired into and realised that’s led to you sending some off with love?
