About This Podcast
Join Ilona Ciunaite for honest conversations and guided explorations into the nature of self, consciousness, and awakening.
This podcast is for those who are looking not just to understand awakening, but to see it — directly, in their own experience.
Each episode invites you to slow down, inquire, and notice awareness itself.
Through guided Deep Looking sessions and dialogues with teachers, authors, and fellow explorers, Ilona opens the door to what many call spiritual awakening — seeing through the illusion of self, and discovering peace that doesn’t come and go.
You’ll explore:
– Self-inquiry and direct experience
– Deep Looking and seeing beyond the mind
– The process of awakening and integration
– Presence, awareness, and the end of seeking
Ilona Ciunaite is a guide, author, and co-creator of the Liberation Unleashed community. For over 14 years, she has been helping seekers all over the world discover freedom through direct experience.
If you are ready to look within, this podcast offers clear guidance and grounded conversation — simple, sincere, and free of spiritual jargon
