Personal sessions

These last weeks I've had the feeling that I've only just switched on to this life. That's exactly how I want to put it, and it's not about events getting better or worse, not about relationships, not about my position in the world. My perception, I guess, has changed very strongly, colossally — it's as if I've begun to live differently. … This state switched on especially strongly at the 4th meditation. I've begun to live.

Sasha, I've already said that for many years I tried to get into meditation, but it didn't work out. Of course, I needed meditation to achieve results in the material world. You gave a different view. It came together. It works. You recommend the first meditation for 30 days. It really helps me tune in, especially if both the first and the second.

For all this “not being engaged”, my attitude toward myself and toward others has changed a lot, which amazes me, to be honest. I observe it and can't believe it's happening. There's more freedom in everything. It's as if I've crossed over to my own side, whereas before I was always against myself. … I also have huge gratitude for what happens here — to all the participants and to Alexander.

When anxiety creeps up — before, my thoughts just ran chaotically, but now I catch myself at it, start breathing and observing myself. It helps a lot to put my thoughts in order and get rid of fear and negative thoughts about the future. Another positive quality I've begun to notice is patience. … Now I've become more relaxed about time, about age, about the present: there's a time for everything.

I've definitely begun to notice more, to see, to pay attention, to perceive. Sasha, thank you. Thanks to our group for the questions, the reflection, the assignments. I feel strong support in this for myself.

In 2025 a new stage began, and our group began. I like building a new perception, rethinking life and everything around. But I'm still at the very beginning of this path, sometimes I go off course, but on the whole I know I'm going in the right direction. I need to trust life more, I thought just now.

During the meditation time seemed to speed up for me. The first five minutes it was hard to concentrate, then everything became very quiet, but I didn't want to close my eyes. … But what happened in the middle, when the time flew by unnoticed — I really felt total silence and calm. An interesting experience. Thank you.

The overall picture is of course taking shape; a kind of new attention is appearing to things I didn't pay attention to before. On the whole, a small transformation is happening in me; there's an interest in studying, in observing.

A year and a half ago — I had forgotten what spiritual development is. Now — I perceive more subtly and more consciously the things that a year ago seemed to be the ceiling of development and an axiom.

Only perception changes; the ability opens up to see deeper, to notice what used to stay hidden, and to perceive what is happening in a wider spiritual context. Today there is a feeling of gratitude for the chance to continue the path — a path in which outer knowledge gradually becomes inner experience, and the very process of knowing becomes alive and continuous.

Thank you very much! How wonderful it is to be at a meditation (I wouldn't have turned it on myself at this time). … About the meditations and the personal meetings, about what they do (they definitely help me live, try to seek the truth, find harmony, restore my state). The personal meetings are, for me, a huge support and help in general (like a crutch for someone who limps).

Alexander, participants of the group, thank you for the meeting! With today's meditation and meeting, it felt like a match happened for me. And it somehow became clearer “why we have gathered here”, what to pay attention to, where to hold focus. Thank you for the examples from life, very clear to me.

I came to understand that lately I had been sitting and stewing in a borscht of some energies; after the meeting there's a feeling that I've surfaced from there, and clarity has appeared. A breath of air. … Thank you for the meeting.

I'll add that after yesterday's meditation and meeting something like a second wind appeared — I wanted to study, to go deeper.

The meeting, as always, brought me back closer to myself from the flat world of “very important business”. … I regretted that I can't be in a state of deep attention at will. But I simply hadn't appreciated my good fortune that you can guide me there. Thank you.

Such an unusual state after the meditation — in one word, clear, but not like a realization, an understanding of something; rather as if the clouds had parted and the sky had become clear, as if an ordinary day had lit up with light. … The state during the meditation was very pleasant, so clear, so good — there are no other words. An ordinary state, as if a person should have it at their base, yet so rare for me. Thank you very much.

I enter every meditation with joy, with a desire to be present in it, and with an awareness of how important it is. And an awareness that is neither invented nor imposed — by me or from outside. Thank you!

Alexander, thank you! My state changed a lot during the meditation. The beginning was very grounded, with a stream of thoughts, sleepiness and a little bustle. Around the middle there was a lift-off, like a reboot, and after that a light clarity.

Alexander, thank you very much for the answers. Even if I have a general question, the answer is useful to me. Thank you for explaining where the mistakes in understanding are. It's actually great when someone can point out the problem spots instead of walking past. There is care in that.

A very good state after the meeting. The heaviness that had been weighing on me this week went away. Lightness and a sense of freedom appeared. The new assignment filled me with warmth toward every participant in the group. Thank you.

And now (I can't boast that everything is OK with me — and it isn't supposed to be), but my attitude toward my life has changed radically! Thanks to this group! Thank you all very much.

Every day I'm aware that we live in a spiritual world. That the material world is created from the spiritual. Thanks in part to meditations 1, 2, 3. The meetings, this group, Alexander — this is something incredible that could have happened to me; I still can't understand what I did to deserve it.

The meditations have had quite a strong effect on me. … I've begun to catch in myself, let's say, a newly emerging perception of reality — every now and then it flashes through and I become aware of it. It's much wider, and there is more creativity in it.

Sasha, thank you very much for the meeting today! A state of strange unfocus — I can't fully disengage and switch on. But meetings like this give a lot of structure and help me not to drift off completely. It was very pleasant to be in the group today; all the participants seemed very clear, and the state was good.

I understand that I often don't write for 2 reasons. 1, the main one: I often get knocked out, switched off, and it's hard for me to switch on by myself without help, but as soon as I find myself in the space with Sasha, it's as if I'm being led by the hand. And I trust completely and go. Reason 2. When I'm switched on, inside there's a feeling that everything is understood. Everything is clear. And it's impossible to describe in words.

I saw, and now I constantly see, the love that comes from Alexander to everyone in the group. I saw that care and gentle attention — it's of a different level, an energy I probably never noticed from anyone, and didn't see from Sasha either, even though I've been coming to sessions since 2018. And only now do I see it, rewatching/remembering every session.

Thank you for the techniques, the meditations, the group. Today I broke through the fog. I did a task from the state, consciously, from knowledge, put everything in order and stayed free. … Nothing has changed. And everything has changed. We observe, we work.

I saw what Alexander meant when he said that you need something to lean on. That support was the spiritual world — that it is primary. Once I felt this, some of the circumstances and questions sort of fell away. It became calmer and easier at the base. … Thank you for the meeting and for the personal sessions.

I observe my irritability a lot. It's still there. At the same time I almost always catch this state. I've learned to understand the meaning of the word “observe”. It means patience, and not trying to solve the problem right now, as it always was. When you need to draw conclusions immediately and change the course of action.

Once again I touched the energy of “ordinary everyday work”. That touch frees the mind from a certain over-achieving, unnecessary planning and clearly superfluous notions. … This meeting gave me back, for a while, clarity and a view from the spiritual world. … Thank you for the meeting.

I thought that this kind of freedom might be like clarity and calm. Just clarity is already freedom. Not a new quality, but removing what's superfluous. A good state on the way out, thank you!

At that session I understood NOTHING. Zero — 0! … And then in the winter of this year, 2024, I decided to listen to that session again. … My whole life had unfolded over the 3 years since that session, and much was already CLEAR to me — not everything, but much of what Alexander had told me back then in advance, and what I couldn't take in at that moment.

It just feels like I lived in a closet plastered with posters (of all sorts). And now I've come out, and you see the huge house, and the garden, and the road, and the river, and you understand that there's still a lot you don't see, and maybe this is also a “closet”, but a more honest one.

And in general I seem to have begun to feel more gratitude. I often feel huge gratitude to Alexander and the group, because it has become much easier for me to take the student's position — it really helps a lot in learning when you don't spend your strength on resistance and “yes, I know this”. But you accept and give thanks.

It's as if, overall, I'm at a turning point, with new energies flowing in. For example, I've discovered in myself a great source of energy, thanks to which I cope with the workload at my job much more easily. A steady movement toward the goal has appeared in my small undertakings (pet projects), whereas before I'd quickly run out of steam.
