Essay Edition
This essay is a near-verbatim adaptation of the live spoken teaching, edited only for continuity and readability.
I would like to talk about something very central to spirituality and practice—an ancient principle that echoes through many disciplines and expressions of spirituality, across cultures and ages, and is egregiously lacking in the modern era. That principle is impeccability.
To be impeccable is more than decoration, more than obligation. It is an energetic practice that lifts our consciousness into higher echelons and toward enlightenment when it is done properly. Impeccability expresses itself in many ways in our lives. We can be impeccable in the way we walk, the way we talk, the way we eat, the way we make the bed, the way we organize our finances, the way we stand, and the way we interact with others.
When we bring a degree of refinement to all of these things and make them absolutely impeccable, we are engaging in a number of spiritual practices. Just consider all the ways we can be impeccable. Imagine dressing impeccably. It may seem extraneous. In some ways, you might even think, "Well, that does not sound spiritual; it sounds egoic." If it is egoic, it is certainly not the impeccability I am referring to.
These actions become devotional. They are consecrations to life. They are not egoic, but rather an abnegation of the self. We cease to do things for the results of the actions, and instead do them for the actions themselves—for the precision, for the mindfulness, for the intentionality. We are not acting on behalf of the ego and its wants or its desire for results. We are surrendering to destiny in perfection.
When we are impeccable, we also practice an inner impeccability. The inner and the outer are reflections of each other. It is the spirit of the warrior. It is the intentionality of an artist. It is the understanding of a mathematician, a computer programmer, an engineer, or a scientist. It is a practice in energy.
For example, when I do something with impeccability—let us say I am going to fold my blanket—I could just throw it on the couch. But this creates a messy, sloppy life energetically. So, it is an energetic practice. I almost want to persuade you, because it is interesting—in the modern age, people often think, "No, it is not worth it to me. Impeccability? I am too busy to be impeccable." Something in us has to recognize why it matters. Ultimately, it comes down to happiness.
But I think it is not always easy to connect why doing all these things—this extra work that does not seem to yield any immediate benefit—would matter. Why am I going to sit here and fold my blanket perfectly? How is that going to bring me happiness? Well, it does, so we are going to try to make that connection here.
If you practice impeccability this coming week, you can either do it on a leap of faith—"Adam says it is important, so I will try it"—and that is a worthy approach. Or you can do it because you see that it is potent. That is even more powerful, when you see it for yourself: "Okay, it is potent, I want to do it now."
I invite any of you to disagree or ask a probing question, so we can discuss this and really come to clarity on impeccability, because you almost never see someone being truly impeccable. I actually know a few impeccable people. For example, my mother is very impeccable—she likes to organize things. That is a very impeccable thing to do, the way you organize things and make them feel just right. It is like the Zen master taking one rock and placing it in the right spot so the garden is perfect. Without it, the garden was not quite right.
There is a lot of nuance to this. It is worth really discussing for 20 or 30 minutes to get clear on what it is. If I were to fold the blanket with intentionality, I am practicing not only getting the blanket just right, but also the principles of gentleness, kindness, and the inner state. When I do it, I am invoking a state of mind that is more desirable, more aligned with spirituality, more aligned with happiness.
Then, I get to be in an environment that is orderly, and this brings a certain peace. If you are in a big, messy place, with everything scattered, your computer is a mess—it is a very different feeling compared to having an impeccable environment, an impeccable computer. On January 1st, you can just download the spreadsheet and pay your taxes; it takes two seconds because it has been organized. Now, that is not to say that impeccability is always easy or that I am impeccable in every single way. Sometimes I reach higher levels and lower levels in different areas, but I am always striving for that.
So, there is no reason to feel judgmental or critical, but rather to keep trying to reach that impeccable space. When we practice impeccability, we are also learning to become very present. It is the art of intentionality. We are very intentional in everything we do.
There are ancient practices, such as the Japanese tea ceremony, where everything is done very slowly—it can take many hours just to have a cup of tea. The whole point is not simply to drink the tea; it is to enter into presence. When you are impeccable, everything becomes presence. Every footstep becomes an act of devotion. Truly—every footstep, walk with the power of a philosopher king. Boom. Boom. Clarity, grace, right? Gliding through life, because you are present with every micro-action.
Impeccability means that we revere the mundane. It is not about being impeccable only when you arrive at the golden temple. You are impeccable when you are brushing your teeth. You are impeccable in everything you do, because it is difficult to separate these things. If you spend your life one way, you cannot easily shift into a different mode. The preparation—you have to do it all the time. This connects to the concept of karma. Karma means action; every action we take affects and informs our state of mind.
Impeccability is a formal practice within karma, but it goes further into refinement. We want every detail—dust your windowsill, organize your spreadsheets. There is an impeccability there that goes beyond just karma.
Another benefit is that by having everything in such order, you empower your life. Instead of making efforts in all sorts of directions and scattering your energy, you take the light of your energy and focus it so it becomes like a laser. In this way, we do not waste any of it. Every effort is powerfully directed.
When we have an orderly life, we can do that. It allows us to be in enough power so that we can meditate more deeply, so that we can live with that effortless grace of someone who has entered into the sagacious lifestyle, right? The lifestyle of a spiritualist.
Impeccability also requires us to be autotelic. We need to constantly be on the edge of our ability. We keep pushing that boundary so that we do not fall into habitual mindlessness, and instead remain in expanding mindfulness. We want to keep revising and refining things. That challenge is what makes it a continued practice and attention. And it is also a joy. You can do things with joy, folding that blanket. It is a joy—you are loving the blanket, you caress the blanket, you make it nice, with proportions that are pleasing to you. So you take a kind of pleasing joy in the mundane, whereas someone else might just throw the blanket in a pile.
You probably folded the blanket three times today, because every time you used it, you refolded it, right? One of the enjoyable aspects of impeccability is that it can become a part of your style—the style in the way you speak, the style in the way you walk, the style in the way you eat, the style in the way you dress, the style in the way you keep your space.
Drive your car—without intentionality, you just flow into the unrefined gray space of bland, unfocused energy. But when you are impeccable, everything can become precisely what it should be for you. So that is what I mean by style, right?
When someone shows up at my place wearing remarkable shoes I have never seen before, it is because they have applied a level of impeccability and intentionality to some aspect of their life. It is a really great opportunity to ask, how do you want to be? And then, refine that.
Impeccability also extends to energy as well. It has a lot to do with the subtle intents within. It is important to know what your intent is when you take an action. We can be impeccable on the outside, but there is also an invisible impeccability. Did my actions consider the other? Were my actions exploitive or righteous? Loving? Inconsiderate?
If every action becomes deeply considerate, deeply oriented so that one sees the whole as their very self, then you are reinforcing the paradigm that you are not separate. This is required in spirituality. We are trying to evolve our inner state, right? Enlightenment is not something that happens outside of you, as if suddenly some altar manifests because you are enlightened. It is an inner state that you have curated and cultivated, and it requires powerful attention.
It takes many lifetimes of revising and refining the topology, the manifold of your field, the way your attention works, the way you think of others, the way you do everything. Impeccability is also concerned with intention. What are my intentions? Are they honorable intentions in the sense that they consider others, or are they selfish intentions, which are ultimately hurting oneself?
Perhaps one of the most esoteric forms of impeccability is maintaining your chakras and your energy state, and cultivating it all the time. Are you feeling your third eye right now? And your heart? And your navel? Your root chakra, your second chakra, your crown chakra? Is your heart expanding in exactly the way you want it to?
There are many things that can be attended to on the energetic planes to make your energy impeccable. It is obviously very much related to the outer expressions as well. But to walk around and feel your heart constantly requires a great deal of attention.
In time, these things become more natural, and you live on that autotelic edge. So, after ten years of feeling your heart with impeccability, your heart's baseline is going to be very, very beautiful. You grow, you accumulate the riches of impeccability, until you are in a rich state of mind that is beautiful and golden and shining.
When we are not impeccable, we enter into a fogginess, we dissipate our energy, we fall into old habitual patterns, we do not live in freedom, we can fall into fearful thinking, we can make a mess of our lives so that we are not able to direct ourselves, and we fall behind on things. There are so many reasons why not being impeccable is costly. Our love cannot be as radiant and powerful. It takes more effort to do things.
Impeccability ultimately helps us to be happy, and it is a worthwhile practice.
Impeccability is directly proportional to awareness. It is a two-way equation. More awareness leads to more impeccability, but also, more impeccability leads to more awareness. For example, if you feel you want to increase your awareness—if you do not feel very aware, you can simply look around and start making things impeccable. That can actually make meditation easier. So it works both ways.
Meditation increases awareness, and that awareness is almost like a prerequisite for impeccability. I do not think you can have impeccability unless you first have the awareness to enable it, so meditation can help. You will meditate, have a good meditation, and then notice—oh my god, for six months, this has been like this? How did I not see it? And then the reverse is true as well: if you clean your space, it also clears your mental space, and you can have a better meditation.
Simplicity is another part of that equation. Greater simplicity—impeccability is almost like attention plus simplicity. If the simplicity gets too minimal, or maybe it is a subtraction, right? The greater the simplicity, the more you can be impeccable. Because you have fewer things to focus on, and you can do those things more precisely.
I also think language is a wonderful way to be impeccable. One thing you can practice is in your text messaging: say exactly what you mean, use proper grammar and punctuation, and express it in a way that pleases you. You could just text and get it done, or you can be very intentional. There are so many dimensions—it can be the art of the language, how you enjoy saying it, and also how you feel it will be received. And then that does not create a mess, because if you send a text carelessly and it upsets someone, you might spend a month repairing the relationship because you did not take two seconds—or five minutes—to make that text perfect.
It is good to slow down, increase the attention, so that your texts are beautiful. In fact, every action we take is an expression of the state of mind we are in. Sometimes it is good to practice A-karma, which means to not take action. Otherwise, we perpetuate that state of mind in our lives. So if you are feeling frazzled and need to text something important to someone important in your life, perhaps do not do it yet. Go and meditate, or go for a walk. Then you can act from love and kindness, and that becomes the manifest expression of your state of mind. It strengthens that state of mind in your life.
Impeccability means living without unnecessary mistakes. It is being honest with yourself, speaking truthfully, thinking clearly, and acting responsibly. It is about doing what is right, even when no one is watching. Impeccability has so much to do with what you do when nobody is watching. It is definitely not about people seeing how impeccable you are. You could take this in the wrong direction. So that is an important nuance—the real test of how impeccable you are being is the impeccability you maintain when nobody notices except for you, because, of course, you are always watching.
If you would like to, you can start with one small thing, or you can make it bigger, but perhaps at least one change. One thing that is impeccable, right? It might be something in your schedule. It might be, for example, that pile of papers right there—you decide, "I am just going to take care of that this week." There is just one pile, right? Or perhaps you will do half the pile, if it is a large one. The idea is to choose something you can do to open up the possibility—just to get a taste of impeccability and see how it feels. That might create an avalanche of impeccability.
Sit down and write out all the ways you would love to be impeccable, and what that would look like. You could say, "Okay, this and this..." It does take some energy to make a change, but having a clear vision can be very inspiring. You might say, "I am going to do this, I am going to do that, I am going to..." Or, "I would..." Actually, do not say "I am going to," but rather, "I would... I would do this," as a way of envisioning it. In business, that is the vision statement. It provides the inspiration for daily activities.
If you can see something that truly sounds beautiful, and feel into it—what would your life feel like if all those papers were in perfect order? You go to Staples, buy a nice container with sections, put the sections in, have everything nicely printed out and organized. How would your life feel if you had that, after maybe years of accumulation?
Punctuality is closely related to impeccability as well. Showing up on time is definitely important. Ending on time, too. Sometimes I have scheduled a call with someone, and at 1:59, I am watching the clock, and as soon as it turns to 2 o'clock, I press the button. That is just a fun little way to be ultra-impeccable.
When things are organized or in place, or whatever it is, there is a feeling of calm, peace—it is almost a sense of freedom. You can always do better, but it feels good when—when whatever your standard is, is met. It just gives you a feeling of peace of mind. The way you organize things, and bring in new things, and keep things fresh—you will spend a whole afternoon organizing, and that is not unusual for you. A lot of people do not do that.
I could go through my bookshelf. The books have shifted around over the years. If I took all the books off and put them back exactly as I want them—maybe removing some for good and putting them in storage—that would be curating my bookshelf in such a way that it holds a certain energy.
When we store energy in physical things, there is a kind of storing of spiritual power when you do something. When you create something, especially if you do it with the right energy and intent, that power helps you rise spiritually. It takes a lot of power to realize ultimate truth. You have to be like a sports car that has refined its energy perfectly—every gear is locked in, and you are using the best fuel, or perhaps it is electric. You are not wasting or dissipating energy, so the ambient power of the universe can flow through you. Storing energy is part of that as well.
All your physics—so, cultivating quite an impeccable mind. That requires a very refined mind, right? Year after year, teaching, studying, doing experiments. There is an impeccability in that practice, and mathematics is very much an impeccable discipline. In coding as well—very impeccable. You get real-time feedback when you code. If you are not impeccable, it will not work. One missing semicolon, and it will not work. I remember when I was fifteen and first coding, I was amazed—there was this giant page of code, and if one keystroke was off, the whole thing would not work. I was astonished by that, because in my life, I had never been required to meet an activity with such impeccability. Logic does not lie. It works or it does not work. Physics is similar.
Chakra Meditation and Impeccability
Let us do an all-out chakra meditation today. The chakra meditation—we go through all the chakras, which we almost never do. But we want to pay attention to what chakra meditation is: we are raising the baseline of our chakra radiance. It is a slow and steady heating of the pot—each chakra is like a small pot of water, and we are going to heat it up. As you meditate on your chakras and keep them getting warmer and warmer, you transform your field. You build a lot of power, and you will be able to be more impeccable that way. In fact, especially the navel center helps with impeccability.
So, let us go through each of the chakras. We will spend about three minutes on each, starting from the root all the way up to the crown. Let your powers of attention open each chakra, but it does not have to be forced. You are simply sitting in the reverberation frequency of that chakra, in that place in space and time. Most of all, you are training your field of attention not to ignore it.
When was the last time you felt your perineum? The perineum is right under your body, right where you are sitting—especially if you are in a half-lotus. There is an energy center there. It actually sits a little outside of the body. But it connects with the body. That is the root chakra, and that is where your energy rises from. Bringing your attention there, and just beginning to feel it, is like—perhaps you are feeling your left foot now that I mentioned it. But where are you, really? Having your attention very aware of certain parts of your biological mechanism—the energetic aspect of your biological mechanism.
The second chakra is right where the genitals are. It is not just a sexual spot; it is also a place of creativity, family, and connection. It is a little bit underneath the body, so inside the body, you can feel it there.
The navel center, Manipura, is one inch below the belly button, or perhaps a half inch below. You may even feel it. Kundalini rises from the second chakra, right up to that point. This is the seat of willpower. That is the related capability. Feel the spot. Allow your attention to generate—be in charge. You may feel yourself very powerful, very steady. Dignified. There may be some tension.
Then we rise from the navel center below the belly button. We skip the solar plexus, which is not one of the primary seven, and go up to the heart chakra. Right in the center of the chest, the center of the sternum both vertically and horizontally—where you would point to your center with your finger. Anahata. When we meditate here, when we awaken this, we awaken the faculties of feeling, ineffable knowing, empathy, intuition, and true knowledge. Most of all, these are wonderful.
Then we move to the throat chakra. The chakra is at the base of the throat. This is the center of expression and beauty. Not on the collarbone, but in a soft place.
Now the third eye. The third eye is the faculty of seeing. Meditating here actually helps you to see the light better, if you meditate on the photon. So, just a little bit above the spot between the eyebrows. Feel the charge. Magnetism. Or simply feel this spot until it accumulates—something miraculous.
The seventh chakra is right on top of the head. It is a little bit above the head, but you can feel it in the scalp as well. The crown chakra. This chakra has to do with self-transcendence. Divinity. Finding peace. Focus on that spot. Anything you can do to connect. It is quite a pleasant feeling, the crown chakra.
It is always good to end on the heart. So let us bring our attention to the heart. All of these chakras are a foundation for the fullest, most pure, most radiant love emanating from our center. Three chakras above, three chakras below. The heart is in the center. Let us take a moment and notice… The root chakra activated. Awakened. Second chakra. Charged. Navel center. Powerful. Heart center. Alive. Throat chakra. Activated. Third eye. Powerful. Crown chakra. Transcendent.
When you are ready, come out of the meditation. Now, your consciousness engine… Have all seven chakra cylinders activated? Seven-cylinder engine. They do not make seven-cylinder engines, just so you know. Apparently God makes them.
Reflections on the Practice
Sometimes, in meditation, my sense of impeccability naturally increases. In the middle of meditation, I might become aware—oh my gosh, there is a speck of dust or a dust ball right there in my home that I had not noticed before. Or, oh my gosh, there is a small bit of dirt underneath my fingernail, or something like that, and I feel I must address it before I can continue with the meditation. The meditation is increasing awareness, and that awareness is almost like a prerequisite for impeccability. I do not think you can have impeccability unless you first have the awareness to enable it, so meditation can help.
Impeccability is directly proportional to awareness, and it is a two-way equation. More awareness leads to more impeccability, but also, more impeccability leads to more awareness. For example, if you feel you want to increase your awareness—if you do not feel very aware, you can simply look around and start making things impeccable. That can actually make meditation easier. So it works both ways. If you clean your space, it also clears your mental space, and you can have a better meditation.
Simplicity goes together with impeccability. It is easier to be impeccable if your things—your house, your wardrobe, your life—are simple, because it is easier to achieve impeccability. It is a way to be devoted to living a beautiful life and to living with intentionality. When you wake up and you are feeling happy, you really want to seize the day. You notice these little things—you want to dress nicely, you take a shower, you go out, and everything is nicer. So it makes a lot of sense to live beautifully and intentionally. Sometimes, if you do not feel like showering, just showering can make your day feel more like one of those better, more refined days.
Language is a wonderful way to be impeccable. In text messaging, say exactly what you mean, use proper grammar and punctuation, and express it in a way that pleases you. You could just text and get it done, or you can be very intentional. There are so many dimensions—it can be the art of the language, how you enjoy saying it, and also how you feel it will be received. If you send a text carelessly and it upsets someone, you might spend a month repairing the relationship because you did not take two seconds—or five minutes—to make that text perfect. It is good to slow down, increase the attention, so that your texts are beautiful. Every action we take is an expression of the state of mind we are in.

So if you are feeling frazzled and need to text something important to someone important in your life, perhaps do not do it yet. Go and meditate, or go for a walk. Then you can act from love and kindness, and that becomes the manifest expression of your state of mind. It strengthens that state of mind in your life.
Impeccability means living without unnecessary mistakes. It is being honest with yourself, speaking truthfully, thinking clearly, and acting responsibly. It is about doing what is right, even when no one is watching. The real test of how impeccable you are being is the impeccability you maintain when nobody notices except for you, because, of course, you are always watching.
When things are organized or in place, there is a feeling of calm, peace—it is almost a sense of freedom. You can always do better, but it feels good when your standard is met.

You are not wasting or dissipating energy, so the ambient power of the universe can flow through you. Storing energy is part of that as well.
Mathematics and coding are disciplines of impeccability. You get real-time feedback when you code. If you are not impeccable, it will not work. One missing semicolon, and it will not work. Logic does not lie. It works or it does not work. Physics is similar.
Experiences in Chakra Meditation
During meditation, it is remarkable how connected you can become to your vision with your astral body. Sometimes, I have never seen blue before, and then, during a throat chakra meditation, I see a royal blue—not navy blue, not sky blue, but a royal blue. The third eye—every time I touch it, I might see two colors. Sometimes the colors are in the middle, sometimes on the outside. The purple is associated with the third eye. The heart chakra is green. Everything below the heart is not just a mushy purple-pink. Your chakras can become more focused than the upper chakras. It is good to have them all active, actually. It supports the heart and everything else. It does not happen on command; it just happens in its own way. But you can cultivate it.
Sometimes, by the end of meditation, I feel like I can see and feel all the chakras at the same time. I have never felt that before, and I thought—from the talk—that if we live impeccably and intentionally, we could go through life with all our chakras aligned and perceivable at all times, guided by the heart. That is one of the apexes of impeccability—when all your chakras are activated and purified all the time. To feel them all at once means you have done a lot of practice, in one way or another, because it is a more advanced technique to hold them all at the same time.
Sometimes, the conversation materializes in such a way that I am very much able to activate many of the chakras, but definitely the Sahasrara, the crown chakra, so powerfully, in a way equal to the other techniques that I am used to. When that seems to activate, I almost get stuck there, in a good way. It is almost challenging if someone says, "Okay, now come back down from there," because it just sustains itself. Some people are very much crown chakra—that is really their energy field, more than most people. That is their defining characteristic, energetically. Crown and heart. Maybe throat, too.
In yoga, we focus on the chakras, but it is also connected to the breath. This was different—not having to focus on the breath, and being able to spend more time in each chakra. It was a wonderful experience. It felt good not to have to focus on the breath. I could focus on the chakra itself. Impeccability requires doing one thing at a time. Your intention has to be focused, right? That felt more impeccable.
Closing
Namaste, everyone. Thank you for being here. Impeccability is a path of presence, intentionality, and devotion. It is a foundation for spiritual power and happiness. May your practice this week be impeccable in whatever way you choose.

Opening Logistics and Audio Setup
Adam Wes And Bobby Bates, for people to join.
Enjoy it.
I do not think…
You are going to keep… Nice. Get ready for an epic meditation.
In theory.
Colleen Adrima, I cannot hear you very well.
Adam Wes Oh, really?
Let us try again.
How is that?
Colleen Better. Thank you.
Adam Wes Thanks for letting me know. But as I said, this is a serious space—get ready.
Epic. Meditate.
I am trained.
Jenna Wes Hi there!
Everybody being.
Namaste! Welcome, everybody. Thank you for being here. Are we missing a couple of people? I am sure they will arrive in a few minutes.
So, we will do a 20 to 30 minute sermon and discussion, followed by 20 to 30 minutes of meditation. After that, we will have some time for sharing, so we should be finished by 7:15, giving us a little more space as part of the structure. It tends to work out that way each time anyway.
Impeccability as a Spiritual Discipline I would like to talk about something very central to spirituality and practice—an ancient principle that echoes through many disciplines and expressions of spirituality, across cultures and ages, and is egregiously lacking in the modern era. That principle is impeccability.
To be impeccable is more than decoration, more than obligation. It is an energetic practice that lifts our consciousness into higher echelons and toward enlightenment when it is done properly.
Impeccability expresses itself in many ways in our lives. We can be impeccable in the way we walk, the way we talk, the way we eat, the way we make the bed, the way we organize our finances, the way we stand, and the way we interact with others.
When we bring a degree of refinement to all of these things and make them absolutely impeccable, we are engaging in a number of spiritual practices.
So, just consider all the ways we can be impeccable. Imagine dressing impeccably. It may seem extraneous. In some ways, you might even think, "Well, that does not sound spiritual; it sounds egoic." If it is egoic, it is certainly not the impeccability I am referring to.
These actions become devotional. They are consecrations to life. They are not egoic, but rather an abnegation of the self.
We cease to do things for the results of the actions, and instead do them for the actions themselves—for the precision, for the mindfulness, for the intentionality.
We are not acting on behalf of the ego and its wants or its desire for results. We are surrendering to destiny in perfection.
When we are impeccable, we also practice an inner impeccability. The inner and the outer are reflections of each other.
It is the spirit of the warrior. It is the intentionality of an artist. It is the understanding of a mathematician, a computer programmer, an engineer, or a scientist. It is a practice in energy.
For example, when I do something with impeccability—let us say I am going to fold my blanket—I could just throw it on the couch. But this creates a messy, sloppy life energetically. So, it is an energetic practice.
I almost want to persuade you, because it is interesting—in the modern age, people often think, "No, it is not worth it to me. Impeccability? I am too busy to be impeccable." Something in us has to recognize why it matters. Ultimately, it comes down to happiness.
But I think it is not always easy to connect why doing all these things—this extra work that does not seem to yield any immediate benefit—would matter. Why am I going to sit here and fold my blanket perfectly? How is that going to bring me happiness? Well, it does, so we are going to try to make that connection here.
If you practice impeccability this coming week, you can either do it on a leap of faith—"Adam says it is important, so I will try it"—and that is a worthy approach. Or you can do it because you see that it is potent. That is even more powerful, when you see it for yourself: "Okay, it is potent, I want to do it now."
So let us talk about it. I invite any of you to disagree or ask a probing question, so we can discuss this and really come to clarity on impeccability, because you almost never see someone being truly impeccable.
I actually know a few impeccable people. For example, my mother is very impeccable—she likes to organize things. That is a very impeccable thing to do, the way you organize things and make them feel just right. It is like the Zen master taking one rock and placing it in the right spot so the garden is perfect. Without it, the garden was not quite right.
Right, so there is the Zen garden. There is a lot of nuance to this. It is worth really discussing for 20 or 30 minutes to get clear on what it is.
If I were to fold the blanket with intentionality, I am practicing not only getting the blanket just right, but also the principles of gentleness, kindness, and the inner state. When I do it, I am invoking a state of mind that is more desirable, more aligned with spirituality, more aligned with happiness.
Then, I get to be in an environment that is orderly, and this brings a certain peace. If you are in a big, messy place, with everything scattered, your computer is a mess—it is a very different feeling compared to having an impeccable environment, an impeccable computer.
On January 1st, you can just download the spreadsheet and pay your taxes; it takes two seconds because it has been organized. Now, that is not to say that impeccability is always easy or that I am impeccable in every single way. Sometimes I reach higher levels and lower levels in different areas, but I am always striving for that.
So, there is no reason to feel judgmental or critical, but rather to keep trying to reach that impeccable space. When we practice impeccability, we are also learning to become very present. It is the art of intentionality. We are very intentional in everything we do.
There are ancient practices, such as the Japanese tea ceremony, where everything is done very slowly—it can take many hours just to have a cup of tea. The whole point is not simply to drink the tea; it is to enter into presence.
When you are impeccable, everything becomes presence. Every footstep becomes an act of devotion. Truly—every footstep, walk with the power of a philosopher king. Boom. Boom. Clarity, grace, right? Gliding through life, because you are present with every micro-action.
Impeccability means that we revere the mundane. It is not about being impeccable only when you arrive at the golden temple. You are impeccable when you are brushing your teeth. You are impeccable in everything you do, because it is difficult to separate these things. If you spend your life one way, you cannot easily shift into a different mode.
The preparation—you have to do it all the time. This connects to the concept of karma. Karma means action; every action we take affects and informs our state of mind.
Impeccability is a formal practice within karma, but it goes further into refinement. We want every detail—dust your windowsill, organize your spreadsheets. There is an impeccability there that goes beyond just karma.
Another benefit is that by having everything in such order, you empower your life. Instead of making efforts in all sorts of directions and scattering your energy, you take the light of your energy and focus it so it becomes like a laser. In this way, we do not waste any of it. Every effort is powerfully directed.
When we have an orderly life, we can do that. It allows us to be in enough power so that we can meditate more deeply, so that we can live with that effortless grace of someone who has entered into the sagacious lifestyle, right? The lifestyle of a spiritualist.
Impeccability also requires us to be autotelic. We need to constantly be on the edge of our ability. We keep pushing that boundary so that we do not fall into habitual mindlessness, and instead remain in expanding mindfulness.
We want to keep revising and refining things. That challenge is what makes it a continued practice and attention. And it is also a joy. You can do things with joy, folding that blanket. It is a joy—you are loving the blanket, you caress the blanket, you make it nice, with proportions that are pleasing to you. So you take a kind of pleasing joy in the mundane, whereas someone else might just throw the blanket in a pile.
You probably folded the blanket three times today, because every time you used it, you refolded it, right? One of the enjoyable aspects of impeccability is that it can become a part of your style—the style in the way you speak, the style in the way you walk, the style in the way you eat, the style in the way you dress, the style in the way you keep your space.
Drive your car—without intentionality, you just flow into the unrefined gray space of bland, unfocused energy. But when you are impeccable, everything can become precisely what it should be for you.
So that is what I mean by style, right?
So, when Kira shows up at my place and she is wearing these remarkable shoes I have never seen before, it is because she has applied a level of impeccability and intentionality to some aspect of her life.
It is a really great opportunity to ask, how do you want to be? And then, refine that.
Impeccability also extends to energy as well. It has a lot to do with the subtle intents within. It is important to know what your intent is when you take an action.
We can be impeccable on the outside, but there is also an invisible impeccability. Did my actions consider the other? Were my actions exploitive or righteous? Loving? Inconsiderate?
If every action becomes deeply considerate, deeply oriented so that one sees the whole as their very self, then you are reinforcing the paradigm that you are not separate.
This is required in spirituality. We are trying to evolve our inner state, right? Enlightenment is not something that happens outside of you, as if suddenly some altar manifests because you are enlightened. It is an inner state that you have curated and cultivated, and it requires powerful attention.
It takes many lifetimes of revising and refining the topology, the manifold of your field, the way your attention works, the way you think of others, the way you do everything.
Impeccability is also concerned with intention. What are my intentions? Are they honorable intentions in the sense that they consider others, or are they selfish intentions, which are ultimately hurting oneself?
Perhaps one of the most esoteric forms of impeccability is maintaining your chakras and your energy state, and cultivating it all the time.
Are you feeling your third eye right now? And your heart? And your navel? Your root chakra, your second chakra, your crown chakra? Is your heart expanding in exactly the way you want it to?
There are many things that can be attended to on the energetic planes to make your energy impeccable. It is obviously very much related to the outer expressions as well. But to walk around and feel your heart constantly requires a great deal of attention.
In time, these things become more natural, and you live on that autotelic edge. So, after ten years of feeling your heart with impeccability, your heart's baseline is going to be very, very beautiful.
You grow, you accumulate the riches of impeccability, until you are in a rich state of mind that is beautiful and golden and shining.
When we are not impeccable, we enter into a fogginess, we dissipate our energy, we fall into old habitual patterns, we do not live in freedom, we can fall into fearful thinking, we can make a mess of our lives so that we are not able to direct ourselves, and we fall behind on things.
There are so many reasons why not being impeccable is costly. Our love cannot be as radiant and powerful. It takes more effort to do things.
Impeccability ultimately helps us to be happy, and it is a worthwhile practice.
So… What do you think? Any questions? Comments? Questions?
Group Reflections and Practical
Applications Kira Comments, yes. I have noticed that when I am meditating, my sense of impeccability naturally increases. Sometimes, in the middle of meditation, I become aware—oh my gosh, there is a speck of dust or a dust ball right there in my home that I had not noticed before. Or, oh my gosh, there is a small bit of dirt underneath my fingernail, or something like that, and I feel I must address it before I can continue with the meditation.
The meditation is increasing awareness, and that awareness is almost like a prerequisite for impeccability. I do not think you can have impeccability unless you first have the awareness to enable it, so meditation can help.
Adam Wes I love that. Maybe a little mathematical equation is that impeccability is directly proportional to awareness, right?
And it is a two-way equation. More awareness leads to more impeccability, but also, more impeccability leads to more awareness. For example, if you feel you want to increase your awareness—this is the opposite version of what you are saying—if you do not feel very aware, you can simply look around and start making things impeccable. That can actually make meditation easier.
So it works both ways. But it is interesting how you will meditate, have a good meditation, and then notice, oh my god—
Kira Clean something up.
Adam Wes For six months, this has been like this? How did—
Kira Exactly, exactly! And then the reverse is true as well: if you clean your space, it also clears your mental space, and you can have a better meditation.
Adam Wes Absolutely, yes. Wonderful, thank you, Kira. That was a nice sharing.
How about you, Andrea? It is so nice to see you!
Andrea P Hi! Sorry, I have not been coming. I love this idea of impeccability. I think, or I—
I think it goes together, at least for me, with simplicity. It is easier to be impeccable if your things—your house, your wardrobe, your life—are simple, because it is easier to achieve impeccability.
And…
Adam Wes Yes. Also…
Andrea P Errh… I love what you said about… It is a way to be devoted to living a beautiful life and to living with intentionality.
That makes a lot of sense, because once you are...
I do not know, I think when you wake up and you are feeling happy, you really want to seize the day. You notice these little things—you want to dress nicely, you take a shower, you go out, and everything is nicer. So it makes a lot of sense to live beautifully and intentionally.
Adam Wes I love that. Yes, it is like honoring life.
Andrea P Yes.
Adam Wes And sometimes, if you do not feel like showering, just showering can make your day feel more like one of those better, more refined days. I like what you said—it does relate to simplicity as well. When everything is in place...
You can only do so much—it is a kind of distillation, right? Can you all hear me? Yes? So, simplicity is another part of that equation. Greater simplicity—impeccability is almost like attention plus simplicity. If the simplicity gets too minimal, or maybe it is a subtraction, right? The greater the simplicity, the more you can be impeccable.
Because you have fewer things to focus on, and you can do those things more precisely.
I also think language is a wonderful way to be impeccable. One thing you can practice is in your text messaging: say exactly what you mean, use proper grammar and punctuation, and express it in a way that pleases you.
You could just text and get it done, or you can be very intentional.
Jenna is very impeccable with her texting, actually. I am often impressed—Jenna, you put a lot of effort into making your messages precisely right, and she considers how people will receive her text. There are so many dimensions—it can be the art of the language, how you enjoy saying it, and also how you feel it will be received.
And then that does not create a mess, because if you send a text carelessly and it upsets someone, you might spend a month repairing the relationship because you did not take two seconds—or five minutes—to make that text perfect.
It is good to slow down, increase the attention, as Kira said, so that your texts are beautiful. In fact, every action we take is an expression of the state of mind we are in.
Sometimes it is good to practice A-karma, which means to not take action. Otherwise, we perpetuate that state of mind in our lives. So if you are feeling frazzled and need to text something important to someone important in your life, perhaps do not do it yet. Go and meditate, or go for a walk.
Then you can act from love and kindness, and that becomes the manifest expression of your state of mind. It strengthens that state of mind in your life.
Benamahdi, it is nice to see you here. Namaste.
Vanamadi Namaste, good.
Adam Wes Nice to see you. And you are in India, correct?
Vanamadi Yes, yes, Buddhism.
Adam Wes What do you think of this talk?
Vanamadi Yes, Guruji, impeccability means living without unnecessary mistakes. It is being honest with yourself, speaking truthfully, thinking clearly, and acting responsibly. It is about doing what is right, even when no one is watching.
Adam Wes Hmm, beautiful. That sounds like someone who has studied all of this very deeply. Wonderful. Yes, yes.
I like that last point. Impeccability has so much to do with what you do when nobody is watching. It is definitely not about people seeing how impeccable you are. You could take this in the wrong direction. So that is an important nuance—the real test of how impeccable you are being is the impeccability you maintain when nobody notices except for you, because, of course, you are always watching.
That is beautiful. Thank you for that. How about you, Ariella?
Ariella Wow, this has really made me think. I have piles of papers in different places in my house—it is certainly not impeccable. And that is something I would really like to pay attention to.
Adam Wes Well, this is wonderful—you are perhaps opening the workshop aspect of this discussion. So let us come up with something we can do this week. Maybe everyone, if you would like to—this is not a requirement—but if you want to, you can start with one small thing, or you can make it bigger, but perhaps at least one change. One thing that is impeccable, right?
It might be something in your schedule. It might be, for example, that pile of papers right there—you decide, "I am just going to take care of that this week." There is just one pile, right? Or perhaps you will do half the pile, if it is a large one. The idea is to choose something you can do to open up the possibility—just to get a taste of impeccability and see how it feels.
That might create an avalanche of impeccability. Really, you can sit down—and here is another useful practice—sit down and write out all the ways you would love to be impeccable, and what that would look like. You could say, "Okay, this and this..." It does take some energy to make a change, but having a clear vision can be very inspiring.
Right, so you might say, "I am going to do this, I am going to do that, I am going to..." Or, "I would..." Actually, do not say "I am going to," but rather, "I would... I would do this," as a way of envisioning it. In business, that is the vision statement. It provides the inspiration for daily activities.
If you can see something that truly sounds beautiful, and feel into it—what would your life feel like if all those papers were in perfect order? You go to Staples, buy a nice container with sections, put the sections in, have everything nicely printed out and organized. How would your life feel if you had that, after maybe years of accumulation?
Punctuality is closely related to impeccability as well. Showing up on time is definitely important. Ending on time, too. We are going to end exactly at 7:15. Let us be impeccable today—that will be enjoyable. Exactly.
Sometimes I have scheduled a call with someone, and at 1:59, I am watching the clock, and as soon as it turns to 2 o'clock, I press the button. That is just a fun little way to be ultra-impeccable.
Colleen Thank you for saying I am impeccable. I do not think I am, but I do know that when things are organized or in place, or whatever it is, there is a feeling of calm, peace—it is almost a sense of freedom.
Adam Wes Yes, exactly. You are probably one of my original teachers in impeccability.
Colleen You can always do better, but it feels good when—when whatever your standard is, is met. It just gives you a feeling of peace of mind.
Adam Wes Yes. The way you organize things, and bring in new things, and keep things fresh—you will spend a whole afternoon organizing, and that is not unusual for you. A lot of people do not do that.
And, you know, I could go through my bookshelf. The books have shifted around over the years. If I took all the books off and put them back exactly as I want them—maybe removing some for good and putting them in storage—that would be curating my bookshelf in such a way that it holds a certain energy.
Oh, I should make one more note. When we store energy in physical things, there is a kind of storing of spiritual power when you do something. When you create something, especially if you do it with the right energy and intent, that power helps you rise spiritually. It takes a lot of power to realize ultimate truth.
You have to be like a sports car that has refined its energy perfectly—every gear is locked in, and you are using the best fuel, or perhaps it is electric. You are not wasting or dissipating energy, so the ambient power of the universe can flow through you. Storing energy is part of that as well.
Alright. Hi, Jacob. All your physi... yes, Jacob?
Jacob Hannah Hey, Adam, how are you?
Adam Wes Good, nice to see you here. All your physics—so Jacob has cultivated quite an impeccable mind.
Jacob Hannah He is a master's...
Adam Wes Student in a physics program. That requires a very refined mind, right? And he just—year after year, he keeps going, teaching, studying, doing experiments. There is an impeccability in that practice, and mathematics is very much an impeccable discipline. In coding as well—very impeccable.
You get real-time feedback when you code. If you are not impeccable, it will not work. One missing semicolon, and it will not work. I remember when I was fifteen and first coding, I was amazed—there was this giant page of code, and if one keystroke was off, the whole thing would not work. I was astonished by that, because in my life, I had never been required to meet an activity with such impeccability.
So, logic does not lie. It works or it does not work. Physics is similar.
Alright, shall we meditate? That was about exactly thirty minutes. Let me take a moment to get clear on the next phase.
Guided Chakra Meditation Practice Let us do an all-out chakra meditation today. And, Kira, the chakra meditation—we go through all the chakras, which we almost never do. But we want to pay attention to what chakra meditation is: we are raising the baseline of our chakra radiance.
It is a slow and steady heating of the pot—each chakra is like a small pot of water, and we are going to heat it up. As Jacob knows, water has a high heat capacity; it will maintain that heat.
We are going to reach the point where, if every day you meditate on your chakras and keep them getting warmer and warmer, you transform your field. You build a lot of power, and you will be able to be more impeccable that way. In fact, especially the navel center helps with impeccability.
So, let us go through each of the chakras. We will spend about three minutes on each, starting from the root all the way up to the crown.
Let your powers of attention open each chakra, but it does not have to be forced. You are simply sitting in the reverberation frequency of that chakra, in that place in space and time.
In space. Most of all, you are training your field of attention not to ignore it.
Like, when was the last time you felt your perineum? It is a funny observation. The perineum is right under your body, right where you are sitting—especially if you are in a half-lotus. There is an energy center there. It actually sits a little outside of the body.
But it connects with the body. That is the root chakra, and that is where your energy rises from. Bringing your attention there, and just beginning to feel it, is like—
You know, perhaps—are you feeling your left foot? Now that I mentioned it, perhaps you are feeling your left foot. But where are you, really? Having your attention very aware of certain parts of your biological mechanism—the energetic aspect of your biological mechanism.
So we are going to go through each one. We will spend three minutes on each chakra. I have even set a timer. It is not really enough time, but it is a good start.
My teacher, when I first began working with him, told me that during his powerful awakening phase, every Saturday he would meditate on each chakra for an hour. That is seven hours of chakra meditation every Saturday. On the other days of the week, he did a shorter version of that, since he had to work. These are the kinds of lengths one can go to—
To Ramana Maharshi-ate, or Babaji… You know, Babaji, this mind. So…
We do not know—if you are not familiar with what I am talking about, that is alright. I know Kira knows. Amandi probably knows as well. I think Jenna probably knows. Maybe you all know. Alright, so let us begin.
Where shall we start with our music? We will do three minutes. So, the first chakra is—right? Between… Let us not be too graphic. It is right underneath your seat, at the very bottom.
And you can find it. Andrea is just laughing at me. You can find it—there is a sense that there is an energetic vortex there. This is pure power. So we are meditating on pure power and your attention.
As you maintain your attention, your attention is like the flame that heats the pot of water. Imagine it just sits there. Halfway through, stay with your attention—it can be surprising. Be patient.
It is enough simply to become aware of the spot; that alone creates a shift in the energy.
Alright, now the second chakra is right where the genitals are. It is not just a sexual spot; it is also a place of creativity, family, and connection. It is a little bit underneath the body, so inside the body, you can feel it there.
Let us focus on that for three minutes. If you lose your attention, just refocus. If you get two out of three minutes, that is great.
Prize to the… navel center, Manipura. One inch below the belly button, or perhaps a half inch below. You may even feel it.
Kundalini rises from the second chakra, right up to that point. This is the seat of willpower. That is the related capability. Feel the spot. Allow your attention to generate—be in charge.
You may feel yourself very powerful, very steady. Dignified. There may be some tension.
Let us meditate on this chakra. Eyes closed. And if you experience light while you meditate, that is wonderful. That is the simultaneous presence of light and volume.
Experience the chakra as I do.
Alright, let us rise from the navel center below the belly button. We are going to skip the solar plexus, which is not one of the primary seven. We will go up to the heart chakra.
Right in the center of the chest, the center of the sternum both vertically and horizontally—where you would point to your center with your finger. Anahata.
When we meditate here, when we awaken this, we awaken the faculties of feeling, ineffable knowing, empathy, intuition, and true knowledge. Most of all, these are wonderful.
Then we move to the throat chakra. The chakra is at the base of the throat. This is the center of expression and beauty. Not on the collarbone, but in a soft place. Three minutes.
Now the third eye. The third eye is the faculty of seeing. Meditating here actually helps you to see the light better, if you meditate on the photon.
So, just a little bit above the spot between the eyebrows. Feel the charge. Magnetism. Or simply feel this spot until it accumulates—something miraculous.
Alright, that is six chakras. We have one more.
Seventh chakra… The seventh chakra is right on top of the head.
It is a little bit above the head, but you can feel it in the scalp as well.
The crown chakra.
This chakra has to do with self-transcendence.
Divinity.
Finding peace.
Focus on that spot.
I do not talk about it much.
Anything you can do to connect.
It is kind of like… When would you like to bring it up?
Sometimes I use my finger to make a connection with you.
It is quite a pleasant feeling, the crown chakra.
Wonderful.
It is always good to end on the heart.
So let us bring our attention to the heart.
All of these chakras are a foundation for the fullest, most pure, most radiant love emanating from our center.
Three chakras above, three chakras below.
The heart is in the center.
Just a minute or so.
Let us take a moment and notice…
The root chakra activated.
Awakened. Second chakra.
Charged. Navel center.
Powerful. Heart center.
Alive.
Throat chakra.
Activated.
Third eye.
Powerful.
Crown chakra.
Transcendent.
When you are ready, come out of the meditation.
Good job, everybody. Thank you.
Now, your consciousness engine… Have all seven chakra cylinders activated?
Seven-cylinder engine.
Oh.
Tough crowd.
Okay.
I think it is funny.
They do not make seven-cylinder engines, just so you know.
Apparently God makes them. Okay, so… Hi, Mom. Namaste.
That was your meditation?
Post Meditation Sharing and Closing
Remarks Colleen I know you were not as nervous with all the lights, so…
I will tell you.
And what is interesting is I have never seen blue before, and… well, maybe I have.
Ow!
I cannot recall it exactly, but the throat chakra was blue—more specifically, I think you would call it a royal blue. Not navy blue, not sky blue, but a royal blue.
Adam Wes A lighter blue, right? Not…
Colleen No, not light.
Adam Wes Okay, I see.
Colleen Bold.
Adam Wes Bold.
Colleen Not “bold” as in confidence—B-O-L-D.
Adam Wes Yes, understood. That is wonderful. It is remarkable how connected you are to your vision with your astral body. That is quite unusual.
Colleen The third eye—every time I touched it, I would see two colors. And then I would move my hand away, and touch it again, and there would be, like, an egg shape. Sometimes the colors are in the middle, sometimes on the outside.
Adam Wes What were the colors?
Colleen Like… lime green and purple.
Adam Wes Okay. Well, the purple is associated with the third eye. I have seen that as well.
Colleen Not chocolate. Today was green.
Adam Wes You are literally seeing all the actual colors—that is really great. The heart chakra is green, yes.
Did you… did you notice anything else?
Colleen Everything below the heart is not just a mushy purple-pink. No, it definitely is not.
Adam Wes Okay, nice. Yes, your chakras seem a bit more focused than the upper chakras.
Colleen Yes.
Adam Wes It is good to have them all active, actually. It supports the heart and everything else.
Colleen It does not happen on command; it just happens in its own way.
Adam Wes Well, you can cultivate it.
Colleen I can try. Thank you.
Adam Wes This Saturday, we will spend an hour on each chakra, all right?
Namaste, ma'am, thank you. Andrea, how about you?
Andrea P I wanted to tell you that…
David—that is why I came here. He would have appreciated your engine joke.
Adam Wes Oh, yes, nice. So you know David.
Andrea P Yes.
Adam Wes Oh, wonderful! Okay, I was—
Andrea P He is the one who told me about you.
Adam Wes Oh, wonderful, I love that. Do you know where he is now?
Andrea P We have the same name.
Adam Wes Oh!
Andrea P Jeez. Are you—
Adam Wes Are you married, or are you related?
Andrea P No, no, no! We are from different countries, but we have the same exact—
Yes, we have the same name. It is unusual.
But what I wanted to tell you is—
Adam Wes You say you are from different countries, but are you both in— You are both in Mexico, right?
Andrea P Mexico.
Adam Wes Yes.
Andrea P So we are not related in any way.
Adam Wes Okay.
Andrea P But it is odd. We are both called Andre—well, he is Andres, and I am Andrea Parra, so we have the same name and last name.
Adam Wes Oh, wow! Okay.
Andrea P Yes, it is really unusual. But, well, when I went to—
Adam Wes How was your meditation?
Andrea P It was really great by the end. I felt like I could see and feel all the chakras at the same time.
Adam Wes Whew!
Andrea P I have never felt that before, and I thought—from the talk at the VCAP—that if we live impeccably and intentionally, we could go through life with all our chakras aligned and perceivable at all times, guided by the heart. So, I felt that. I—
Adam Wes I love it.
That is one of the apexes of impeccability—when all your chakras are activated and purified all the time. Wonderful. I love that you felt them all at once; that is good. That means you have done a lot of practice, in one way or another, because it is a more advanced technique to hold them all at the same time. So, beautiful.
Andrea P I had never felt it like that. Yes, thank you.
Adam Wes Namaste, good, good. Vanamahdi, I would love to hear how it was for you, if you would like to share. Nobody has to share, by the way. You can just ignore me if you do not want to share. Am I being ignored? Perhaps. Okay, good, now we know. How about you, Kira?
Oh, we have one minute to be impeccable. Okay, one minute might be slightly off impeccability. I would actually love to hear from Jenna. Jenna, are you available?
Jenna Wes Hi!
Adam Wes Yes?
Jenna Wes Sorry. Usually I have something to say, but I am just feeling inward, actually, so I suppose it was helpful, yes. Thank you. I like the topic of impeccability and the alignment of the chakras.
Adam Wes I appreciate you being here. Yes, thank you for being here. Jenna is my sister, everyone. She is a lovely person. Hi, Jen!
Jenna Wes Yes. Nice to see you.
Adam Wes Nice to see you, Jen.
Jenna Wes Thank you. Thank you.
Adam Wes Namaste. Ariella?
Well, Ariella will be the last to share, I suppose. Unless Kara wants to. Dropped out of Nirvana. Oh, there she is. It is the Nirvana screen.
Kira I had to step away; I am meeting someone right around now.
Adam Wes What happened?
Kira Oh, I said, sorry, I had to step away for a moment because I am getting ready to meet someone at about 7:15.
Adam Wes Would you like to share briefly before Ariella, then?
Kira I can, yes, I am happy to share. Yes, wow, okay. Our conversation kind of materialized—I do not know how else to say it. I was very much able to activate many of the chakras, but definitely the Sahasrara, the crown chakra, so powerfully, in a way equal to the other techniques that I am used to.
Adam Wes Wonderful!
Kira So, that was really lovely, thank you so much. And it is interesting—when that seems to activate, I almost get stuck there, in a good way. It is almost challenging if someone says, "Okay, now come back down from there," because I am just… what? It just sustains itself.
Adam Wes Yes, you are very much crown chakra—that is really your energy field, more than most people. That is your defining characteristic, energetically.
Kira Oh, really?
Adam Wes Crown and heart. Maybe throat, too.
Kira Well, thank you so much. Thank you, everyone.
Adam Wes You are welcome. Dave, thank you. Before anyone else leaves, I would be very grateful for any donations—even a $10 donation. The suggested range of $3 to $33 would be especially helpful for me at this time. If you are able to contribute, I appreciate it. If not, please know that this is freely available, so there is no need to worry. Thank you.
And, if you need to go, Kira, that is fine. I do want to hear from Ariella before we finish. Hi, Ariella!
Ariella This was really interesting for me, because I do yoga. We focus on the chakras, but it is also connected to the breath.
Adam Wes Hmm.
Ariella And this was different—not having to focus on the breath, and being able to spend more time in each chakra. It was a wonderful experience.
Adam Wes Nice, wonderful. And how did you feel without the breath focus? Did it feel—
I mean, you might have been doing your breath exercise at the same time, intuitively.
Ariella It just felt good that I did not have to focus on the breath. I could focus on—yes, exactly.
Adam Wes I prefer that as well. Just feeling the chakra, because the whole point is not to divide your attention.
Ariella Yes.
Adam Wes Impeccability requires doing one thing at a time. Your intention has to be focused, right? So you are like, okay...
I think that is true.
Ariella It felt more impeccable.
Adam Wes Nice, nice. Namaste, everyone. Thank you for being here. Andrea, Van Amati, Vin—nice to see you, Vin. Nice to see you, Sam. Let us see, we are three minutes over; I think that is reasonable. If anyone has a burning desire to share, you are welcome to, but if not, perhaps we should wrap up.
Okay, great. Namaste, everyone. Thank you. See you soon. Thanks for being—
Ariella Yes.
Adam Wes Hi, Andrea. By bend.
