Being in the Now, a true surrender to what is, a certain type of creativity and the sweet spot between being anchored and truly open to what is.
In honest truth I have meditated intermittently for many years and it was only when several things occurred that I discovered the Power Of Now, as Eckhart Tolle’s wonderful first book explored.
Once in the company of a wise psychic reader who accessed the quantum field - she saw possible future timelines that went straight to my heart and understood my past without me uttering a word. I was in the presence of an oracle and the air changed. I felt fully aware, present and forever altered by the encounter.
Second on the dance floor during ecstatic dance, I could surrender to movement that arose from within and that led to a nowness I had never experienced on a meditation cushion.
Thirdly in a forest with the breathing awareness of pine, branches ethereally waving on the breeze, sensing me sense them.
And fourthly - and this leads me to why I write - as a massage therapist and intuitive healer, totally focused on another human being, somehow outside of my-self and yet fully present in my body, listening to the subtlest flows of energy.
And so the question I ask myself is why were these encounters leading to presence? Because I felt anchored on earth in my body and yet I was not ‘stuck’ there.
I was open.
There was a creative freedom to new possibilities and that led me to awareness.
This alchemy of being deeply present here on earth and simultaneously open to something new, something beyond time and space, is a place where magic can occur.
Something beyond us and yet it Us - Source, God, the Heavens, whatever this mystery is - has a power to heal us that I am only fractionally beginning to comprehend.
Events from the past can resurface in our consciousness and be transformed through safe presence as if the moment is freshly potential again.
There is a Field acknowledged by quantum physicists and when accessed a creative playground of potential awaits.
So what stops this anchoring and awareness? So many things! Traumas both current and old being a major factor. Entrenched - and I mean that from an energy perspective quite literally - beliefs.
These are the things I will explore with direct experiences from my intuitive nervous system informed healing work (with full consent or anonymity of course).
What stops this surrender? What slows or prevents conscious awakening on planet earth and what can we do about it.
Welcome to my world and thanks for reading.
