The Headless Way: A Simple Trick to Realize You’re Not in the World
In this video, I explore a powerful and surprisingly effective non-dual practice known as The Headless Way, developed by Douglas Harding. Years ago, it didn’t resonate with me—but after hearing Swami Sarvapriyananda explain it, something clicked. And now… I get it.
Here’s what you’ll discover:
The Headless Way experiment and the story of Shiva, the man with no head
Why imagining you have no head can shift your sense of self to pure awareness
How this experience parallels lucid dreaming and modern neuroscience
Why the observer—you—exists nowhere in the world, and how that insight changes everything
How this practice reveals the radical acceptance and invulnerability of your true nature
This isn’t about mystical highs or forcing an experience. It’s a subtle but profound shift—an opening into the awareness that’s already here, right now.
🌀 If you’ve tried the Headless Way before and it didn’t land, this video might offer a fresh angle.
🧘 If you’re new to this, give it a try—it’s simple, playful, and potentially life-changing.
🙏 Let me know if it works for you—and if you'd like more videos on these kinds of direct experiments into awareness, self-inquiry, and non-duality.
