Being shown by a teacher who already embodies stillness is life changing. Unlike any other teacher I have worked with. A teacher who can show you the truth of who you are 🙏

Stillness cannot be manufactured. It is not reached through effort, repetition, or chasing the mind’s idea of peace. It must be revealed.

Every student carries unseen thresholds, subtle structures that hold them just outside the depth they long for. On their own, they may circle near the edge, unable to step through.

This is why entrusted practices exist. They are not concepts or theories, but living ways that open what cannot yet be opened alone. In a true teaching space, stillness is not only spoken of - it is directly shown.

A teacher who only speaks of awakening or presence leaves the student at the threshold. A teacher must do more than point, they must be able to open the doorway, allowing the student to step into what words can never capture and what they cannot reach themselves.

And what is revealed is not something new. It is the stillness that has always been here... uncovered more fully, so the student can recognise it and return to it again and again.

New video on the Anandi channel. Link in the comments.

Have you ever felt more "advanced" than other spiritual seekers? Like you've outgrown beginner questions and need to be around more awakened people? This might be the mind's most sophisticated trap.
In this contemplative exploration, Anandi examines spiritual superiority - how it develops, why it feels so natural, and how recognising it can actually deepen your practice.

Anandi isn’t like other teachers. She can show you the depth of life and from there life opens up.

To speak of gentleness and stillness is easy. To feel it in truth is rare. Most of what is called gentle still carries effort, intention, a subtle trace of control. Real gentleness does not arise from the hand, body or the mind. It emerges only from stillness.

When there is even the slightest holding, in the body, in the nervous system, in thought, in the deeper energetic system, what unfolds is shaped by that holding. And what arises within us is not pure stillness, but the echo of what we still carry.

This is why understanding and experiencing true gentleness matters. Because gentleness is not softness alone; it is the absence of force, the absence of holding. From this depth, the structure of holding begins to dissolve, and the unfolding of stillness becomes possible.

Gentleness and stillness cannot be spoken of alone. They must be shown.

Here, Anandi was showing Suzanne what true gentleness is. Not through words or concepts, but because her state is stillness. From that, Suzanne encountered directly what gentleness and stillness truly means within herself.

New YouTube video from Anandi 🥰. Link in the comments.

There are teachers through whom a current of grace flows without interruption. In this contemplation, Anandi Sano explores what it means to approach such a teacher, the cost on the vessel, and the sacred preparation required to receive fully.

The way we interact with everyday life when we have stillness within is so different 🥰. What Anandi offers is life changing.
