AN INVITATION
/Early in my adult life, I had a clear sense that we are all on a Spiritual journey. Curiosity lead me to be an explorer, an experimenter and more recently a treasurer of the wondrous deepening of my inner relationship. Growing my ability to make sense of and engage with, what some refer to as the still small voice within. What really excites me about this, is while there is a vast amount on what to do and how to do it when it comes to personal growth and transformation… it’s when you are in the throws of fear or confusion, this is the opportunity to meet and really make a lasting difference in your inner world. When we can engage in the moment AND stay connected with our Soulful depth, it’s the relationship with our depth and our pain in the same moment that allows our awareness to be grown out of the darkness of pain and confusion and into the light of peace and understanding.
What strikes me about the authenticity of this process, is there are so many layers of life that we weave together, wrapped and hidden over time to ‘keep us safe’. Each thread a part of our consciousness arising to be woven out of the past and into our present, if we can just allow it safe passage to the light of our conscious mind.
It is from witnessing my clients and students discover for themselves, their deepest inner stories from a place of connection, and then experience the melting away of layers of self judgment in an instant, that has inspired me to develop a Spirituality 101 course. This course is being designed to help people EMBODY their own Spiritual Practise. So that no matter what is arising, in any moment we are able to feel alive and connected. To go beyond technique as a way to manage our pain and distress and to discover that your own inner connection is indeed the most potent guide of your inner terrain, more than a mountain of self help books and courses can ever be.
Allow me to shed some more light on the subject…
If you have that inner knowing that life is inherently Spiritual, then learning how to integrate this knowing in your life can be like travelling along a path ... when we are connected and paying attention the way is smooth, the signposts are obvious and we feel like we are on track... however when our focus is diverted in trying to get our fix via the outer world, we can often feel the stress of the search - the path then seems to be paved with the fears of limit, lack, scarcity, comparison and many of the other usual day to day presumptions of ‘the way life is for us’. I know for myself, that even though I was earnest and invested in my Spiritual journey, some years ago now, I discovered that I had lead myself into a cul de sac of avoidance and resignation. And now I meet so many beautiful people with awareness - they have a feel for their own spirituality. But who confess they are stuck or lost... ‘knowing’ about the pieces of life but not being able to make sense of the life living within them. This disconnect tends to show up in our beautiful loyal bodies, our work life satisfaction and growth, relationships and intimacy and in the background hum of feelings and thoughts that play and colour our view of ourselves and our life.
A Spiritual Practise is a way of showing up and connecting with the Sacred in our lives, in ANY moment. It is the establishment of a relationship, one that with experience, naturally replaces the beliefs and presumptions held by our childhood self. This growing understanding of life gives rise to our own unfolding Inner Wisdom and Inner Nature!
Most of us have gathered our own touchstones of Spiritual Practise... engaging with our breath, self healing, yoga, wise foods choices, listening to insights that arise, and most importantly all those moments when we stop DOING and surrender into BEING, to be recharged and replenished from within.
The potential of an ENGAGING Spiritual Practise, is that your life becomes the place where you show up and invite the Sacred in.
I can only speak for myself, of a life aligned to my Spiritual Practise and the deeping that this has gifted…
The freedom and peace to enjoy simply being
A relationship with my body of care and respect
Feeling alive and on purpose each day
Following the outer ripples of my growth with understanding and integration
Feeling inspired in any and all aspects of my life, knowing I can say yes to those inner prompts, as I will be guided each step of the way
AND most importantly; to live any moment I choose in the depth of my Sacred relationship, which grows me more and more each day.
So dear ones, what is a Spiritual Practise? This is what I am going to teach; the touchstones to enliven how we live in our world with our bodies and all that we inherit and create. Teaching the foundations of awareness so that Spirituality becomes your Spiritual Relationship...
EMBODIED
