If you’d like to experience or ultimately live in bliss, then you need to let go of the bliss blockers — ongoing states of need, fear, anger or ego dominance. By practicing humility, you can become free of the ego states that block you from enjoying bliss.
This is a series of two videos on humility. Spiritual experiences humble or dissolve the ego (the false sense of self) and transform one’s character. Astral experiences usually exalt the ego. While astral experiences may be vivid, they rarely lead to spiritual growth.
You can’t make harmony, bliss, love, joy or samadhi happen. But what you can do is move from living at a creature level to opening your life to a higher power. The secret to enjoying the great bliss and joy of yoga is contacting and receiving the higher prakriti, the higher expression of life force.
What’s your reaction when people and situations don’t align with your expectations? Your subjective life, the stew of thoughts and feelings constantly moving within you, prompt most of your actions. If you’re like most people, addictive demands — automatic emotional states that come when you don’t get what you want — can run your subjective life and block your happiness.

As we grow spiritually, our level of consciousness shifts in a way that allows us to become clear instruments in which Spirit blesses others through us.
If you sincerely express yourself to God in prayer, a connection develops. Even if you don’t feel the connection at first, if you keep opening your heart to God, you will likely start receiving Spirit. As you begin to experience Spirit, you may enter into higher dimensions of prayer known as spiritually conscious prayer.
