https://us02web.zoom.us/j/85923851843 Looking forward to meeting again next Sunday for meditation and self-inquiry. I hope you can join us. This time we’ll have a slightly longer meeting to allow space for Q&A and a shared topic.

Hi everyone, I’ve just uploaded the latest lesson from our meeting last Sunday into the Living Essence Advanced course. This session dives deeper into the exploration of self-image — how it shapes our identity, how it holds us back, and how letting go opens more space and freedom. If you weren’t present, please remember to reach out to others in the group for the self-inquiry exercise. The practice is an important part of the work, and doing it together helps it land more deeply. You’ll find the recording and summary in the course section. Take your time with it, and let the inquiry continue in your own practice. As always, feel free to share reflections or questions in the comments — it’s beautiful to hear how the work is unfolding for each of you.

So nice to see you all in our last meeting. We explored the White Latifa and its connection to will and confidence. The White gives us the strength to be present with what is real, rather than being caught in daydreams, fantasies, or collective expectations. It helps us step away from what society or family tells us we should be, and instead recognize: What is true for me? What do I really want? This brings a different kind of confidence — not the ego’s rigid determination or the reliance on others’ approval, but a relaxed, essential confidence. It is the willingness to try, to follow what matters, and to change direction when needed. Essential confidence is flexible, natural, and resilient. It lets us live authentically, pursue our gifts, and express ourselves without pretenses. By contrast, ego confidence often shows up as pushiness, giving up too quickly, or seeking constant validation. The White Latifa invites us to a confidence that is spacious, alive, and rooted in presence. Hope to see you next time

I'm happy to share that, by popular request, we’ll gather again next Sunday for another round of meditation and self-inquiry. It’s always special to come together in presence and deepen our exploration with each other. 🗓 Date: Sunday, August 31, 2025🕕 Time: 18:00 Rome🔗 Zoom link: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/84490182198Meeting ID: 844 9018 2198 This time, we are exploring a new format: our meeting will be just 15 minutes longer, giving us more space for your questions and a brief introduction to the evening’s theme. Whether you’re new or have joined us before, you’re warmly invited to bring your curiosity and presence. Let’s continue this journey, share our insights, and support each other. Feel free to comment if you plan to join or have any questions. Looking forward to spending this nourishing time together! With warmth, Emilio

In our sunday gathering, we revisited the timeless teaching of the White Latifa — a profound reminder of the simplicity and depth at the heart of presence. Our minds are often busy creating stories, plans, and identities — constructs that pull us away from the only reality truly available: this moment, right here, right now. The White Latifa teaches us to harness our will not to reinforce these distractions but to gently guide ourselves back to presence with what is, without judgment or resistance. Meditation becomes our anchor, a tool to shift from overthinking to sensing — grounding us in our body’s wisdom and the here-and-now experience. This practice cultivates the strength to face whatever arises, even the uncomfortable and challenging, with openness and curiosity, setting the stage for real self-inquiry and transformation. Our journey isn’t about escaping difficulties but learning to be present with them, to open space inside ourselves for understanding and growth. This presence becomes the fertile ground where wisdom and compassion naturally emerge. Let’s keep this conversation alive, sharing our questions, experiences, and insights as we deepen our practice together.
