Welcome to Simply Aware — a spiritual channel for self inquiry, self realisation, non duality, mindfulness, meditation practice and awakening. For over 35 years, I have explored philosophy, Advaita Vedanta, the direct path and the timeless recognition of awareness. My journey has included retreats, teaching philosophy, Buddhism and meditation, travelling East and West, receiving wisdom from many faiths and traditions, and meeting realised spiritual guides, teachers and masters. I also lived as a Buddhist monk for over 20 years before creating Simply Aware to share the truth I came to recognise: we are awareness itself — the “I am”, already complete, peaceful and free. Each video offers compassionate guidance beyond thought, emotion, mind and identity. Through meditation, self inquiry and present moment practice, you are invited to recognise your true self, awaken to liberation and enlightenment, and discover the peace and freedom always here as awareness itself.
Warm wishes, Ben

If your mind loops, replays, or won’t switch off… this is a gentle 10-second reset you can use in real life — in bed at night, mid-anxiety, or in the middle of a stressful day — and you can test it with me right now.
In this short guided practice, I’ll point you to the one place thoughts can’t follow: the awareness that notices them. No forcing. No fighting. Just a simple shift that creates space. Enjoy: https://youtu.be/Yq81JN4_G6M

Have you ever wondered why, despite your sincere efforts, you don't seem to be making much progress on your spiritual journey?
Sometimes, the difficulty isn't a lack of dedication. It's that our attention becomes scattered across too many different practices.
I would say: Real transformation often comes through depth, not variety.
In this video, we explore why spiritual progress can sometimes feel so slow, and how returning wholeheartedly to one simple practice may make all the difference.
❤️ I warmly invite you to watch and share your own experience.

If you missed Friday's new video, we looked at how we spend so much of our lives listening to the mind's endless commentary that we forget what it feels like to simply be present. But what happens when we recognise those thoughts without becoming caught up in them?
Join me for a gentle reflection on awareness, inner spaciousness and the quiet beauty of simply being alive.

What if life is like a dream — and awakening is simply remembering who you truly are? Enjoy this meditative reflection, a journey into awareness, surrender, peace, and the recognition of your divine nature as pure consciousness.
✨ Remember, awakening isn’t something you achieve — it’s what happens when you stop dreaming. ✨

What if happiness was never something you had to find — but something you already are?
In this gentle reflection, Why Happiness Feels Elusive — And The Cure, we explore the true nature of happiness — not as a passing feeling, achievement, or future destination, but as the quiet, luminous presence already within us.
Take a 5 minutes to breathe, listen, and return to what has always been here.

In this gentle reflection, we explore the depth and duration of Self-Inquiry, the timeless teaching of Sri Ramana Maharshi. You’ll discover why inquiry is not a task to finish, but a sacred returning — moment after moment — to the still source of all thought. As each thought dissolves back into silence, the seeker begins to fade… And what remains is peace itself. Watch here:https://youtu.be/-QwAgOxdn40

Every being longs for happiness — but what we seek is already within us. This quiet reflection on Self-enquiry asks the question: “Who am I?”
When all thoughts, desires, and identities fall away, what remains is peace — the simple awareness that never changes.
