3 minute audio sample from the 66 minute nature soundscape; "Dawnsong of Tuis", available for download from www.listeningearth.com/LE/product.php?id=123

The Tui (pronounce "too-ee"), a native honeyeater of New Zealand, has one of the most extraordinary voices of the bird world.

Their vocabularies consist of fluting and ringing bell-like tones, wheezy whistles, buzzes, clucks and ultrasonics almost too high for the human ear.

This recording will take you to the majestic old-growth forest of Whirinake, to hear a sublimely musical chorus of Tuis singing in the hour before dawn.

As I stood in the darkness that morning, under ancient tree ferns, hearing those first Tuis begin calling, I knew it would be a special recording. It was one of those moments that I hope to hear; when nature creates pure beauty. I feel this album is a meditation on the beauty of the natural world. 

'Dawnsong of Tuis' - Album Sample

In this Satsang excerpt, Moojibaba addresses the sense of ‘doing’ in spiritual practice — how can we balance the urge to meditate and strive for spiritual awakening with the recognition that there is nothing to do, and we are already that?

Mooji cuts right to the heart of the issue and directs us to the quintessential understanding:

“Nobody has ever found the balance. I take away that mischief from you. Only God is balance.”

Mooji points out that both the sense of doing and striving, and the one we take ourselves to be who is trying to attain something, are two sides of the same coin, and both are perceived on the screen of consciousness. Are we witnessing this play from the perspective of the person or from pure awareness?

SATSANG OF THE WEEK
https://mooji.tv/satsang-of-the-week

"How can I purge this stubborn fear of death?" 
This fear of losing loved ones is seemingly standing in the way of freedom. 

A very beautiful and rich excerpt in which a questioner comes to rest in the understanding of her ever-perfect nature. She expresses great gratitude for the guidance shared. Moojibaba shares many beautiful analogies and powerful pointings which invite us into experiential recognition.

"I don't see anything standing in the way of your freedom. By honouring yourself, you are the gift. Discover the gem of your own self, a hidden beauty. 

This is your uncreated self, and it is always stable, always peaceful, always true, always loving, it is always open and it is imperishable. Beautiful — beauty full."
