Awakening Now
Self-Inquiry.
Ilona invites to answer questions from your own experience. She points to what is actually here right now.
Awakening.
Something that is always here comes into focus. The illusion of a separate self is seen through and falls away. Everything starts making sense.
Inner Peace.
It is here, only it appears veiled by thoughts, stories, expectations, images of how life should be. It takes dedication and practice to meet what arises so that it can self-release. Peace is found by noticing it. And here you can rest in being.
