Expanding possibilities

1. Have deeper experiences so know what seeking

Many of us know that being in our hearts leads to a more satisfying experience of life and individually and collectively, we sorely need the feminine, but most of us have only superficial experiences and few, if any, role models of either. The result is that, rather than embodying something radically different and virtually unknown in our culture, we are somewhat less in our heads and somewhat less masculine. If we are to bring these true and distinct alternatives back to this planet, we need first to experience what we are seeking and returning to. The best way to do this is in the company of the few people who embody the divine feminine, such as Amma. (more…)

It is not necessary to experience an altered state to get positive benefits from Matrix Energetics or other transformation processes, but it can be useful and desired. (more…)

Trying begets grasping

When we think we need to try, we sometimes try too hard, in an attempt to grasp something, understand it intellectually or ‘get it right’, all of which can obstruct the flow or process.

Connecting with others is very important to me and yet, I often feel shy. Here are some thoughts that have helped me.

Everyone feels shy at time

When we feel grief we are allowing a part of us to honour something we have lost. When we feel shy, we allow sensitive and intimate parts of ourselves to be honoured. This is natural and beautiful, part of the richness of life experience. Those people who never feel shy may have other ways to do this or they may have no awareness of those parts of themselves.

Over recent generations, we have tended to set ourselves apart from the groups we are born into (tribe, community, extended family, nuclear family) and aimed to be more distinct as individuals. This has expanded possibilities for many of us but not without costs, such as isolation and stress. From an historical perspective, we may not live in hard times, but we do tend to be hardened, which, for some of us, is unsatisfying. It may also have effects on our world that make it unsustainable.

The question ‘How far down the rabbit hole do you want to go?’ from the film What the Bleep is often repeated, but how do we go deeper? (more…)

In general, I find paying less attention to anything that separates me from the present moment, especially thoughts, which tend to be about the past and future, helpful.

"Physician, heal thyself"

I’m my own best client. Most of the positive changes in me and my life are due, in so far as anyone can tell, to the work I have facilitated for myself and I don’t ask clients to do anything I haven’t done. (more…)
