Poet, Teacher, Healer.
Kavi is co-director and associate teacher for the Amoda Maa Teachings.
His focus is integrating spiritual awakening and emotions, relationships and the body.
Answering important questions for the spiritual seeker:
Are there techniques that can bring me nearer to inner freedom?
Do I need a teacher?
What happens to emotions after awakening?
How can I live my realization or glimpse of awakening?
Why do I keep being hooked back into the story, why do I become reactive again?
I realize that I’m nothing other than consciousness, but I haven’t had a radical, life-altering shift like the ones I read about. Does this matter?
I keep forgetting and being sucked back into the old patterns and stories. What can I do?
The Courage to Live Open Hearted: And What It Costs | Kavi Jezzie Hockaday
In this video I talk about the challenge of opening the heart in a world that often hardens us. The mind naturally seeks answers, but true transformation doesn’t come through intellectual understanding-it comes through the heart. Many people unconsciously protect their hearts with strategies of control, fear, and cynicism, but this only deepens suffering.
Opening the heart is not a transaction-it’s a total surrender, a gamble with vulnerability that can feel like a death of the self. Yet, the alternative-living with a walled-in heart-is a prison. True openness brings power, discernment, and sensitivity, which is not weakness but a deep, life-affirming strength. The heart must lead, not the...

In this video Kavi explores the relationship between our essential, unconditional nature and the conditional layers of identity we adopt in life.

This conditioning teaches us to seek love, worthin...
Why You Can’t Force Healing or Awakening | Kavi Jezzie Hockaday
Просмотров 51412 часов назад
This reflection emphasizes that healing and awakening cannot be forced. True release from past grievances requires honesty, willingness, and persistence, rather than mental or emotional force. The "hooks" of past grievances-whether from family, relationships, or life events-create a prison within us, dictating how we live. The process of letting go involves deep self-inquiry, devotion, and a na...

What is True Healing?: The Path of Allowing, Intimacy and Love | Kavi Jezzie Hockaday

This video explores healing as a deeply intimate process that transcends the mind’s judgments and narratives. True healing arises in the heart and the subtle energy body, which often remain protected or "offline" due to life's wounds. Healing is as an act of allowing, a union of what feels separated within us, facilitated through love and presence. It is not about resolving the rights and wrong...

This video emphasizes the importance of living as union and love in the present moment, rather than waiting for some imagined future when circumstances feel perfect.

Thank you, Kavi, I’m very grateful ❤
I'm so thankful for youtube and people like yourself that have helped me tremendously. Thank you and for the technology.
Sincere mannerisms, voice, cadence, & Freddie Roach/Vision look. 30 seconds in, & I could listen to this dude for hours.
I had to look up Freddie Roach 😁

Society isn't accepting of most people's "real healing". There is no safe space for it.

Hi Kavi, I recently heard that you had been sick for a long time and are better now. On this journey to remembering who I really am, I am dealing with debilitating long covid and sometimes I can beat myself up because there has been so much surrender, yet no relief. Although, if it weren’t for this condition, I would still be believing that I was the avatar. Loads have fallen away and there has been a huge surrender to who I believed myself to be. I’m not asking to get comfort for the physical but confused as to why so many stories have dropped off and yet sometimes there is a mental struggle. I am home bound and all my time is devoted to God in the manner of meditation, prayer, listening to Truth teachings, attending satsang regularly. Old friends have fallen away and new energies with a higher vibration have come in to this life. There are no answers and no guidance because this is a new disease, there are no guidelines to follow. I stopped any type of treatments and research and have accepted what will be will be. Is it ok to be frustrated in general, after 5 years of basic torment? It feels as if the body wants to stop but there’s this niggling feeling I should try other alternatives but in all honesty, I’m ready to just collapse. Thanks
Going through that door ...isn't it also "dying before we die" in a very real sense ? Scary, feels very profound.... no wonder we / I retreat to comforting habits of constant thinking and the "work" we are doing on ourselves... so my ego says : sometime in the future I'll be ready to fully commit to going through that door-not just now ! Somehow, my small self is fully aware that through that door is the end, in some manner, to its existence.
Yes to all that. It's funny because the ego self makes such a big deal of it as though it almost revels in the high drama. What actually happens is not so dramatic in many ways. Profound yes, but high drama no. There is much to unpack in what you say. Good one.
@@kaviji This is so true! Oh how I fight with these waves of experience as though I am going to die, for sure this time, only to have them end in a feeling of bliss. Every time...I have to calm my ego with "it's ok, just let go".
Beautiful ❤️
❤
You can 100% force awakening. Sit alone with zero distractions. Basic food and water nothing else. If you do this long enough you will break your mind that’s dependent on sense pleasures which is the source of suffering.
That's just a glimpse through the veil, and through deprivation. Useful but not abiding.
@ you can’t awaken while engaging in the very thing that keeps you deluded. Sense pleasures keep you deluded.
@ Yes but you still have to return to the world with your awakening, and that abiding cannot be forced.
@ says who? Who is forcing you from your hermitage?
@@Same-l3d Cool..Good luck with that!
A true gem, my dear Kavi, that will stay treasured in my heart. Thank you so much.
wonderful Jorge, thank you. x
What you talk about over and over is what I need to hear OVER AND OVER. Thank you. So helpful.🙏
Thanks to you. Blessings. 💫
You are so welcome
Thank you so much.

Peace Oilgrim, who had apparently died to self and was in touch with information that normal people such as myself do not naturally have, said that in fact when we do leave our bodies we will reunite with loved ones... before going on to the "place" that we are evolved to. That might sound like Hocus pocus but, I'd like to believe that there are people who have risen beyond the ego and that have information about that sort of thing. In fact, she had met one person who was her brother in a past life as an American Indian. She did not like to speak about these things but once in a while someone would ask her to the question. She only wanted her message about inner peace to be what people took from her. She didn't like talking about this sort of thing because it was a distraction from what was the most important thing which was inner peace. Anyway, I'm looking forward to meeting with loved ones after the transition. :)
Thank you for sharing your wisdom ❤
So timely…relevant, honest…clarity…”let it be…let it go…” Who unhooks? Not the little “me”…” “It” unhooks…Force is anathema to Grace…Thank you, dear Kavi
🙏
Lord I've been carrying this around for 5 bloody years. Something clicked listening to this and I can truly look this full in the face now and begin to release it and live my life fully. Thank you so so much 💗
Excellent, glad it resonated. x
You can't face your darkness. white men refrain and face their enabler.
Thank you that was very helpful. I find myself going between two extremes of trusting the natural unfoldment but than moments later profound helplessness/despair. Bouncing between these two states is very exhausting.
Yes me to. I fly high feeling the oneness, then come crashing down big time. I think I've sat with my big demons, but something seems to keep wanting my attention. As Kavi says, time to get really honest.
Yes I call the hook, the juice. The juice can be any story that gives us some energetic charge that strengthens the self. The juiciest juices are being a victim or having guilt, shame, anger and unworthiness. Hard to let them go because they are intoxicating in their drama and dis ease. At the root of all of these juices is fear. Fear of letting the juice go exist because who would we be without that juicey story? Once this question is seen and answered, chunks of the illusion of separation begin to fall away. Thanks for a great video❤
Good words. 'Intoxicating in their drama.' I like that. x
Look into IFS
Thank you for sharing, Kavi. Have a beautiful day. ❤️
Thanks for sharing, Kavi. I agree; forcing is futile. I remind myself every morning and throughout the day, to meet everything that arises in an atmosphere of gently kindness. No forcing, no manipulating, but rather using discomfort as an opportunity -- yet again -- for active kindness. This way, even the "disagreeable" -- becomes a sacred teacher.
That's exactly it. Active kindness to experience.Thanks James x
Wow Kavi, This was very deeply felt especially the reading at the end. Put down the weapons. When you said that…. I imagined dropping all defenses, judgments and attacks and walking away from them. And it’s so nice. So freeing. I don’t want to pick them up ever again. So much gratitude for the gentle strength and penetration of the Truth coming from you 💖
Excellent. Thanks x

Dear Kavi, thank you.
Thanks Jorge x

Thank you so much. Can I ask you to please record a video with a meditation? You see ive been looking for a meditation where the person is just sitting there in nature looking at us or closed eyes just in silence, in stillness feeling the outside silence, but all I find are guided meditations and Im asking you this because Im sure it'd be of immense help to all of us, who are just learning stillness. Someone told me this feeling can be felt by people by the other side of the screen. I hope it would be possible, and if not, its ok also. Thank ypu very much for your everyday help. ❤
It's a possibility, but it will have to wait until Spring arrives as it's usually so cold here in the mountains of New Mexico. I will try when it gets warmer. x
@@kaviji So lovely, im happy to wait. Thank you so much for your kindness. God bless you. 💫

Do you or did you guys wake up around three to six am feeling strong fear?
If you are asking me then no. But fear is very common these days in the intensity.
Dear Kavi, thank you. ♥
I had a big step forward in growth when I finally let go of and sacrificed my deepest wish for the way I wanted my Life to be (which was never going to happen) and instead faced things as they were. It is very tiring and demoralising fighting with "what is" ! Thank you for your wisdom and insights, very appreciative of your videos - they are very helpful in helping guide and frame this journey we are on 🙏
Thanks, i'm glad they support, and yes, fighting what is, is very tiring for the system.
When i imagined accepting everything in this moment i feel strange, a knot in my stomach, some kind of fear and confusion, i realize that all this fighting is really me, my own self... without it what would it be? How would it be? Its so hard to ignored this mind, this way of living right now... im trying to observe all this. This resistance really sucks...
Imagining it tends to not work, it reinforces the mind that is built on resistance and strengthens the stories of fear and anxiety. It can only be known in the experience, by softening a little at a time through the gentleness of the breath and the softness of the being. 🙏
@kaviji thank you 🙏🌷
So deep...❤️
As Nelson Mandela said " The struggle is my life . I will continue fighting for freedom until the end of my days". Love and light from a broken lamp that is my heart.
Your vids are such a beautiful expression of love, needed so right now 💗
Off topic a fair bit but your voice is very soothing. This felt as if it was previously thought out or else a lot of conscious thinking. Well said.
Thanks. Not previously thought out but offered as it arises in the moment.
The path of love and intimacy through a crevasse is . Divine flame. Eternal dialog. Chow.
Yes healing is in the now because the wounding is still in the present. In that wound in the core is a love and a light. Daily yoga is like a prayer and opens up the tense body and connects to the breath. opening to both the pain and the light is so hard
The problem is the Walls become comforting and make you let your guard down. Easy to divide and conquer. Easy to ignore the fires and the weather and the signs and symbols and convince yourself delusion is the default state, when the opposite is true: delusion leads to more disillusionment. Proverbs 9:10 All will be revealed if you fear and ask. There is very little I do not see about this world now, and understanding the root of desire, that Earth is an anagram for Heart because our hearts are hidden from God and twisted so we can delight in consumption/sin/dreams. You no longer will believe, you will Know.
Oh, my dear Kavi, your post is so beautiful and profound...Your poems make the Light brighter. Thank you.
Thanks so much for your kind words Jorge x
I find that staying face to face with pain never ends, it just gets more & more overwhelming until I start drawing blood on my arms and wishing I’m dead, the hell escalates endlessly 🦋
