What is our highest agenda, as humans? What is your highest agenda, personally? If we are wound-oriented, our highest agenda can and will only be survival. When we are Divine, True-Self-oriented, our highest agenda is the greatest good of all. When we are caught in the pull of our wound orientation, we naturally focus on the survival of 'me'. This has led, over time, Continue Reading
Re-Awakening Our Ability to Vision
It was after my participation in the United Nations Earth Summit that I realized that we have lost (temporarily) our ability to 'Vision'. Somewhere along the path of humanity's development, we lost our spiritual ability to see alternate realities. We lost our ability to perceive possible futures. Without our ability to Vision, we have lost our map. We are continuing along a flowing river wherever it takes us Continue Reading
Re-Sensitizing Our World
Our collective malaise is simply this: We are out of touch. Because we have numbed ourselves to our own inner wounds - in a valiant attempt to keep functioning, to 'survive' - we have simultaneously numbed ourselves to the world around us. When we are not alive in the 'Now', we are not noticing the ecological and human issues that impact us all: famine, disease, war, corruption, draught, pollution, global warming Continue Reading
A Higher Spiral of Consciousness
Perhaps the reason it can be somewhat of a conundrum to define what consciousness is, is that … we are trying to articulate something that the mind must grow into in order for it to be able to perceive it! Definitions are by their very nature an expression of what the mind perceives. And so if we are discussing something which the mind does not yet perceive, how can we define it? How can we express it? Continue Reading
The First Wound
There never needed to be a first wound. If we had the skills, and the consciousness tools, and the support to stay present with our experience, in the moments that it was occurring, there would never have been a first wound. The reality to this day has been that children have been born into a world of adults who have not healed their wounds – adults who are not conscious of healing, the path of healing, the benefits Continue Reading
What Is Consciousness?
Awakening our consciousness is the whole point of healing. It is only when we are 'asleep' that we can suffer. Awakening our consciousness is rising to a higher level of vantage in our own mind. It is spiraling upward, like an eagle into the Sun. It is waking up to our full potential. It is awakening into a recognition of and a sensitivity to the whole. When we are wounded, we are Continue Reading
Cracking Open the Shell – Part 2
Is ‘fighting against’ the only way to access your true strength? Is it the most efficient one, the most powerful one, the most ultimately successful one? Or are there options? (There are. Look around. Not everyone fights against.) I’ll give you an example. In 1988, at the so-called ‘height’ of my dancing career (I was touring internationally with highly respected dance companies, and beginning to have high profile solos Continue Reading
‘What Tension Am I Holding That I Don’t Need?’ – Part 2
I’ve been asked numerous times over the thirty-five years I’ve been practicing daily Yoga if I would ‘teach’. (It’s a ‘cosmic joke’ that I’m apparently chronologically forty-nine. I feel perpetually like I’m twenty-eight, and sometimes like I’m fourteen!) For years I adamantly, though graciously, replied ‘No’. Yoga was my private, cherished companion. As a performing artist who was transparently visible onstage, it was my Continue Reading
‘What Tension Am I Holding That I Don’t Need?’ – Part 1
Here is another response to the request I’ve received from so many people to write a sequel to “Savasana – The Deepest Rest Around”. See also the recent post “Wander Time, Empty Time”. Enjoy! I began practicing Yoga daily when I was fourteen. I was introduced to it by an aunt who, at that time, would visit us a couple of times a year. As an observant, insightful teenager, I noticed that she would become very tense, agitated, Continue Reading
Cracking Open the Shell – Part 1
What will it take for humanity to rise above reason – the current crowning achievement of the mind? To be even more precise, what will it take for humanity to pierce the veil of thinking … and open itself into the vastness of its pure potential – its access to omni-consciousness via intuition, telepathy, insight, and beyond? What I’m speaking of here is the ultimate exiting of the Wheel of Time. Continue Reading
