Actual Awareness

A Comprehensive Mahasati Practice and Learning Library

Mahasati is a form of vipassana or insight meditation which is suitable for novice meditators and also advanced practitioners. It is done with open eyes in seated, walking, lying down and standing postures. It involves making gentle, rhythmic movements with one's body (hands or feet) for developing continuous mindfulness.

This is a course with 60+ hours of Mahasati practice followed by discussions, along with a comprehensive resource library. The practice is designed to bring mindfulness into our daily life. The aim is to be mindful of the activity of the body and mind throughout the day and even at night during sleep. The practice is simple to learn but takes commitment, dedication and persistence to master.

There are over 95 practice sessions in this course (more sessions and resources keep getting added) designed to introduce you and support the continuing learning of this inspiring practice. Nithya Shanti, a former Buddhist monk, introduces the practice and guides practitioners through a deep journey of awareness and awakening.

This course includes all the videos and resources shared in the "Moving With Awareness" course on Mahasati and additionally has fifty more practice sessions, a comprehensive and ever growing Mahasati eBook and resources library. This course is open ended and ever evolving since any future Mahasati live sessions and other relevant resources will also be available here.

If you are interested in starting your Mahasati journey and then also continuing it further, this is the right course for you.
