How Maurice found inquiry and presence
Inquiry is the central practice of the Diamond Approach, and is an intentional investigation into one's experience in the moment. We utilize both cognitive understanding and a felt awareness in an immediate engagement of our experience to reveal its deeper truth. Solely relying on the intellect tends to generate more mental content, whereas fully embracing our bodily sensations and being attuned to the unfolding experience enriches the present moment, fostering immediacy and depth.

Basic Trust
The Diamond Approach helps us open to recognition of basic trust in Reality, which is the direct awareness that Reality is inherently good, holding and supportive. When our soul knows this we can relax.
testimonial
“I had been away from Boulder for 4 years, and was reconnecting with old friends. Went to lunch with a friend, and I noticed he was really different, changed. I couldn’t put my finger on what was different other than "more grown up". I asked him what happened? He said he’d been “hanging out with this guy, Hameed” and they were starting a group (Diamond Heart Training - first group). He told me about The Elixir of Enlightenment, which totally caught me. That was 35 years ago and the rest is history”
