Nothing to Achieve, Nothing to Become
Effortlessly Aware exists to
help people recognize the awareness that has always been here - without
techniques, striving, or effort.
What if mindfulness wasn’t about controlling thoughts or trying to feel a certain way? What if presence was already here, with nothing to do?
Effortlessly Aware is not about effort, discipline, or striving to reach a meditative state. It’s about recognizing what is always present - already complete, untouched by thoughts or emotions.
Instead of techniques, we explore simple pointers that reveal what’s already here.
Here is my brief story:
"I couldn't be present all the time."
At least, that’s what I believed.
But then it hit me: who is the one trying to be mindful? The answer: “just another thought.”
All this time, I was simply identifying with a thought - a
story of a separate me, an object of great importance that my thoughts
constantly referred to as "I, me, myself."
But here’s the interesting part: My mind still does this.
Nothing has changed.
My mind still has thoughts of self
It still tells stories
It still tries to “be present”
So what has changed?
The recognition that there is no solid and
foundational "me."
Just awareness
Awareness Is Already
Here
Awareness:
Has no qualities → Is not definable.
Exists before thought → It cannot be described by the mind.
Is unknowable → It cannot be had.
Is like vast space → Perfect and always present.
Is infinitely compassionate → It doesn’t reject any experience.
The practice of Effortless Awareness is simply:
Checking in to what’s already here - until it happens on its own.
There’s nothing special about awareness.
In fact, the more you discuss or analyze it, the further you wander from it.
So the practice is simple:
Direct pointings to what is aware.
And if you’re looking for an answer that will satisfy you?
You won’t find one.
