Everyday Enlightenment

Welcome!

Everyday Enlightenment is intended to provide an extremely simple yet comprehensive framework for learning about Enlightenment, coupled with an extensive online toolkit that can be used by anyone, anytime, and eventually every day, all day as an approach to experiencing life.

At its root, enlightenment itself is about achieving a dramatic reduction in suffering, and a dramatic increase in mental clarity. If this is something you are interested in pursuing, read through this page and see where you can get started.

Getting Started

Depending on your level of experience with topics such as mindfulness, nonduality, impermanence and meditative practices in general, you could approach this site very differently. Look over each of these types of Learners, and see which one matches where you are. Make sure you understand the purpose of this site, including how The Framework works, and then dive in and start browsing through some exercises to see where you might be able to find some traction in the journey to enlightenment.

For First Time or Beginning Learners

There are two types of Beginning Learners, those who have never really heard much about meditation and don't really know what it's about, and those who know something about mediative practices, but haven't really started incorporating those practices into their life. If either of these match where you are, make sure you have a decent foundation in the following topics before diving into the exercises. The internet is full of many amazing resources, and below are a few topics to get started, and once you feel that you understand the basics, take a look at some of the Learner exercises.

Why, Where, and When

Why would I want Enlightenment?

Our lives are clouded by delusions that bring unnecessary suffering and confusion. As we learn to rise above those clouds, we find a dramatic reduction in suffering, and a dramatic increase in mental clarity.

Where and when should I look for Enlightenment?

Enlightenment can be found every day, all day, in everything around you. It can be an integral part of your life, and the first step is to start noticing it and embracing it.

How

How do I become Enlightened?

There are thousands of schools of thought, and so many ways to approach Enlightenment. Visit the Resources page if you need help getting started. Everyday Enlightenment is just one resource and isn't intended to be all-inclusive, but it offers an approach that is rare to find.

The key concepts that differentiate the approach of Everyday Enlightenment are

• No emphasis on formal meditation.
• Learn to harness pieces of your daily routine as the tools of Enlightenment.
• Use these tools all day, every day.
• As you Awaken, the practices become part of you.

How: The Tools of Everyday Enlightenment

The entire intention of this site is to encourage you to incorporate these tools into your life, not once or twice, but all day, every day, for the rest of your life.
