Leaping Into The Unknown

I tend to believe that human beings in their general nature are lazy, as such we tend to stay in our comfort zone. A comfort zone can be physical, emotional, mental and even spiritual.  it takes something extra to push ourselves beyond the safe and known. I believe that extra something is an impulse from our soul.

When we do manage to extend ourselves that bit further, in whatever way, there is usually some benefit or reward. This can be as simple as we feel good about ourselves and hey that’s no small thing. when that pay off has greater attraction  than our resistant to doing  whatever it is, we tend to keep doing it.

 I began performing on stage when I was around 17 or 18, possibly it saved my life and certainly I fell in love with it. I can still remember walking off stage after my very first public performance feeling like I was walking on air. The stage gave me the opportunity to be somebody other than the angry young man that I was. It was a kind of freedom.

It wasn’t long before I became strangely attracted to dance. I’d never really seen any  but something in me  started pushing in that direction. I really came up against my laziness when I started  to dance. Dancers train really hard to make it look really easy when they perform, hours and hours and hours of training. obviously to be a dancer,  passion and love for it is greater  than the efforts of all that hard work.

Pretty much from the beginning I was interested in exploring the body itself as the site of human experience. Then when I was 25  the healing ability showed up and added another dimension to my exploration.

When I’m actually going with all of this is June 29th 1996. At 6 AM on that Saturday morning I began a 36 hour performance entitled “36 Hours In-Quest-ion". I’d been

Karma And Relationships

In relationship, more accurately with intimate/committed relationship there is karmic compatibility. This means that both people have the same unresolved/unhealed/incomplete energy (not in every way of course - but in significant areas).It’s that pesky Law of Attraction again.

This ‘karmic’ energy usually manifest as a polarity, one person holds one end of the spectrum and the other person the opposite. In  manifest behaviour/characteristics, it then looks very different - opposite in fact. The relationship then dances around the ‘appearance’ of this duality as the two people seek resolution within themselves.

When one steps out of this dance and chooses to find healing within themselves and without the drama of the

8 Major Meditation Misunderstandings

Misunderstanding #1 Meditation is stopping thinking and having a blank mind.

This is probably the number one misunderstanding about meditation - that meditation is to “stop thinking.” Certainly, a benefit of long term meditation is a reduction in the the amount of thinking that goes on, and that is great. The inane, repetitive and usually negative chatter of thoughts that jump one to another in their minds is one of the first things people new to meditation are confronted by.

But what would a blank mind mean? The confusion arises because we are most of the time identify with our mental thoughts (our inner monologue) and we believe it is reporting the truth of our experience. So a blank mind is assumed to be the absence of thought. But the vastness of mind encompasses so much more that thought.

In meditation we aim to develop mindfulness, that’s the

Time Of Great Spiritual Change

There is at this time a massive effort going on to raise the collective vibration of human consciousness and more help available than we imagine. It is important that we ask for help, in many cases it is only when we do that it can be forthcoming in all the ways possible. It is also advantageous if we are really clear on exactly what we want help with. For example if we have an area in our psyche where we experience contraction, fear or any kind of limitation, that is a good thing to ask for help with. As I have written about all over this site we evolve by unwinding and transmuting these energies of limiting past.

There are very real and disastrous potentials if we don’t. So all spiritual endeavor at this time is for the good of all. The ‘reward’ for reaching a certain degree of spiritual

The Magic Of DOING What You Are Doing! (2)

 By Kate Mathers   www.magicofallowing.com

Some more ‘spot meditations’, this time oriented to those that may be as relevant for men as for women. ‘Spot’ or ‘Mini-Mindfulness’ Meditations work to defuse tension on the spot by bringing you right into the present. Note that they all involve tuning in to the world of the senses and allowing yourself to really notice what you are doing while you are doing it!

Tuning in to the present moment this way can rejuvenate soul, mind and body in seconds. The power of the present moment cannot be overestimated.

 TRY: doing a mini-mindfulness or spot meditation when you clean your teeth each morning: mindfully note how your arm and hand reaches for your toothbrush, how the brush feels in your hand, the texture and shape and colour of it; and do the same with the toothpaste tube and its contents; observe the colours and design on the tube, the way it yields its contents as you squeeze the paste out of the tube, and the minty aroma; notice the sensation of the brush and the paste once in your mouth; is there a zinging sensation? Enjoy it. Check to make sure you are not already holding unnecessary tension in
