Pilgrimage to Paradise

Hello sunshine lovers, energy enthusiasts and helpers of mankind,

My title refers to an old trance tune on Sourmash records, which was helpful in bringing me towards spirit in my teenage years. In a deeper way, I am referring to what I am about to do in June: I am very excited – and honoured – to have been given a staff position on Amma’s US tour! I will be volunteering in the clothing boutique. It’s funny because I was thinking of ways I might get into the feminine and embody that more, and then I got given this position 🙂 Feel free to ask me any questions you may have about what I will be doing or what the tour involves.

Are any of you going to be there, or thinking of going to a couple of stops? Here are the stops in full:-

I will be away from the 3rd June to the 16th July without internet or phone access, so please do get all your sessions in before then.

I have been re-doing the Art of Meditation with Adyashanti this week and wanted to share some of the wisdom with you. Adya discusses the fact that awakening is not just an initial moment in which the I falls away, but it is also an ongoing unfolding. And for that part, meditation is crucial. In this sense, he disagrees with non-dual teachings – and I think rightly so – which tend to discourage practice (albeit covertly). Even if it is not said outright, the implication in many non-dual teachings is that practice is not all that important. Yet I simply haven’t met anyone who is deeply embodied as their true nature who has not engaged deeply in ongoing practices. So from my point of view, I wholeheartedly agree with Adyashanti on this important and often perplexing point. Please do offer your experiences with this, as I would be interested in them.

Bye for now, and do call or contact me before the 3rd June,

Love,

Amma Documentary and other news

Hello 🙂

I hope you are out enjoying the sunshine 🙂 I want to share this documentary about Amma by Shekar Kapur. It’s not often that you get to hear Amma talking for long, so a real treat. It may give you goosebumps!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gRxtKANEfwc&feature=youtu.be

Please do make the most of sessions now, as I will be on tour with her from the 3rd June for 6 weeks, as I mentioned. I will update you with more exact details when they are published. I will not be able to give healing during this time because I will be on staff and without internet connection.

I have felt so inspired by sessions with you recently…I feel I have the best job in the world 🙂 I have come to see that creativity is often channelled, as a result of a session with one of you (an author). Actually Amma talks about this in a deeper way in the documentary! In the session, I saw that this person was channelling her books from the astral realm, where beings there assist her. This is similar to what Ric Weinman has said about J.K. Rowling: that she dreams the Harry Potter stories (influenced by a ‘real’ place in a different realm – see Quinstel below) and then writes them out in her waking state. It was amazing the detail I was able to see with this client in terms of sensing, and I believe that was in part due to her creative openness connecting with mine, because of what creativity gives us all access to. I wanted to take her to Quinstel directly (a kind of Divine university we access via Vortex class transmissions) and it seemed to be going well, but then we got to a door that was locked. I realised it was because she needed the transmission from a Vortex class to gain the key to the lock. Fascinating work 🙂 There have been many other wonderful sessions, but I won’t go on 😉

Here is the link for Mukti’s events (Adyashanti’s wife), in England in August, which it’s best to book in advance:-

You can still get on the waiting list for the silent retreat in England with Adyashanti here:-

I received the grace to be invited to satsang with Pamela Wilson on Friday, last minute. I found it very powerful. At the end, I couldn’t resist suddenly hugging her and she said a very sweet thing to me: “I enjoyed your presence. Silent and full”. So there you go: when you’re deliberating about sitting in the front row at these things – do it! Here is her site. She is back in London in August:-

See you soon,

Group Vortex Healing

Hello,

How are you this rather cold day? On Sunday I was given the opportunity to facilitate a group healing on Leila Sadeghee’s Yoga Immersion here in London. It went very well indeed and I was thrilled about it! Leila commented that it felt to her like receiving an individual session, which is encouraging considering that there were around 20 people receiving the work. A lot of information came through also for people individually afterwards when they approached me with questions and comments about their experiences. All in all, it was wonderful and something I would like to continue with in the future. It was the first time since Dad died 5 years ago that I have facilitated a group and it feels good to be back in the groove of that. I would like to know if you would be interested in receiving group healing, either at a distance or in person at the venue in London EC1?

I want to share a personal healing miracle which happened last week. As some of you know, my mother and I have a challenging relationship and have had for as long as I can remember. This culminated in an argument one night recently, revolving around her disapproval of my life and my awakening path, including her speaking against Amma, which was the biggest trigger for me. The next day, I attended an Amma satsang and dedicated the sadhanas there to healing this fraught relationship. I did this again during an additional satsang that week. I also wrote a loving email to Mum, apologising for what I had said in the argument. Although Mum did not apologise or engage, something in her email response made my sensing ears prick up. She said she had had a ‘car prang’ that week, nothing serious but she was a little shaken by it. In November last year, I had a clear premonition that she would die in a head on collision with another car. I had had glimpses of this a couple of times before, but had put it down to fear in my own system. However, the premonition in November was so clear that I decided to do healing on it and I also told Mum. She did not react well, she was angry, but I felt it was the right thing to do to warn her so that her awareness might be present should the situation arise. On hearing of the recent car prang, I had the feeling that perhaps it was the dissolution of her karma by the Divine, which I have heard that Amma is capable of doing. I asked my healer this and, as we discussed it, it became clear to both of us that that was indeed the case. Of course we could both be wrong, only time will tell, but if this is true then it is a healing miracle… If this is true, then it puts a whole new light on the deeper reason for the falling out Mum and I had, and on the sheer power of the satsangs, and of Divine intervention. I personally feel blown away by this experience…

Something else which came to me this week and I wanted to share with you is that, if you want awakening in this lifetime you have to really want it, naturally, and you need to truly engage with your life and your path (dharma). None of this hiding out in non-dual getaways will do it – it doesn’t work. I tried it for years, and I see a lot of people trying to do it that way, but what happens is you get stuck and believe you are ‘there’, even if that means ‘nowhere’ (which, if you look at the ego, is actually still trying to get somewhere). Many of the so-called teachers of non-duality etc. in London and around the world are not where they think they are in terms of awakening and embodiment (I am not talking about Tony Parsons here). It is not very difficult to see this if you sense directly into their consciousness. Another way is to look at how they avoid life or their conditioning, or at how they treat others and behave. Often such ‘teachers’ are not really embodying the Truth that they have glimpsed or awoken to. That means that as a student / participant they can’t really help you. Looking at someone like Adyashanti for example, it is clear and evident that the embodiment there is very real and very deep. That is rare, in reality.

Just to remind you that, as I explained in my last newsletter, I have received guidance from the Divine on my price per session, which is now £90 for 1 & 1/2 hours.

Wishing you well,

Love,

Daisy

Trust YourSelf, Trust the Deeper Intuition

Hello,

How are you? I hope this email finds you well.

Is anyone doing The Art of Meditation with Adyashanti at the moment? It is going beautifully I must say.

It has taken me a while to write this time due to a deep pull into Embodiment. Part of this draw (which looks human and messy by the way, not a ‘nice’ spiritualised ideal) has revealed the realisation that I will not be continuing with psychotherapy. Although I love the way in which my rigorous training moves now in my healing work with you, and although I will be continuing with Equine Assisted Therapy which is pure joy, working as a therapist is not for me.

I went through a natural process to get to this life changing conclusion, which I want to share with you, so that you can be empowered by it in your own choice making processes. As you know, there are conditionings in us which are so powerful that they can take years to work through and which dictate much of our lives as they are now. So, how do we become clear in the midst of all that sticky, forceful and destructive stuff when making an important decision? This is where intuition goes from being a ‘nice-to-have’ add-on that makes life more interesting, to being the place from which you live your life, simply because it is the expressive aspect of Truth itself.

To share some of my process with this: I had become convinced that I had to do an MA in psychotherapy and believed that this movement was coming from Truth itself. So I set about visiting universities and making applications etc. Before sleeping one night, I did the 300 Names (an Amma practice) in bed, as I sometimes do. At 5 30am I woke up bolt upright, with the sudden sense “What am I doing? I am not doing an MA!” At the time I decided to shelve this, thinking I couldn’t be clear in the space I was in at that moment. In the morning, I went to the forest (Highgate Woods) and sat for many hours in deep contemplation and meditation about the MA. I repeated this in my bedroom a couple more times in the proceeding days. Each time, I received the same clear answers. The key was that I had to wait…..

Here is my suggested way:-

First, contact Truth within very deeply and stay there (I suggest meditation for this). Then ask a very specific question towards whatever you sense as that Divine (Truth) within, whether that be Amma, true Self, a deity etc. And then, wait……. Don’t go for that reflex which wants to grab your attention and is pulling at you. The Truth never needs to pull, and doesn’t actually move at all. Listen, sense and be open for what doesn’t move. Let the true answer reveal itself in that place, in it’s own time and by it’s own terms. Adyashanti has called this “the knowing which arises from not knowing”. Patience, humility and courage are important here. In this way, you touch what is you and simultaneously beyond you. It is the impersonal becoming the personal, and is also free from both of these definitive boxes.

Another observation, which may be of use to those of you who experienced trauma of any kind in your infancy and early years, is that what is called dissociation in psychotherapy is on the other levels of us a deep energetic twist in the heart. It is where the child has twisted to get away from something unbearable (abandonment, violence, sexual invasion or any other kind of abuse trauma). This twist then ripples into the pericardium muscle fascia and pulls on the nerves in the neck, sometimes causing burning and pain, and also often interferes with the ears and hearing. So problems can be present in any or all of these areas, though the root is emotional-karmic-genetic. Once I had deepened into the emotional pain behind the dissociative patterning in me one day (triggered by the upcoming ending after 3 years with my therapist), and cried a lot, I could actually hear far more clearly the next day and my neck was totally relaxed and opened. Auspiciously, I happened to have a cranial sacral session booked with a friend that day, which further helped 🙂

Last but not least, do you or anyone you know want to go on a transformational yoga retreat? If so, I can highly recommend one here: http://www.thepracticesoffreedomandwellbeing.com

Bye for now,

Love,

The Vortex Healing Way of Sensing / Psychic Perception

Hello 🙂

This weekend and last week I was lucky enough to have the opportunity to re-take the Vortex Healing classes Sensing and Advanced Sensing, with Anthony Gorman. I want to share with you some of what I discovered, in order to illustrate what you may be able to experience through taking classes in this amazing healing art, and also to share some of my journey since I am the person in service to your unfoldment when you have sessions with me.

Here is what I wrote in my notes on day 1 of Advanced Sensing:-

It’s only ever a question of awareness…….. There is no need to leave Truth, ever, full stop. In that sense, it is a choice. Do I want to be what I am, do I want to be as reality is – what reality is? Or do I want to be in illusion, trying to make things better (or worse), trying to get better, become something else, something different, something new? Is there something different, something new, other than this awake alive free fall that remains, despite all our attempts to distort and prevent it (because of our conditioning)?

It gives credence to Anthony’s reminder to us that this new and updated class is really assisting a very deep embodiment of whatever level of awakening has happened in each student. Also, and importantly, the Vortex Healing way of sensing is to sense from and as Awareness itself. This makes it different from most other kinds of healing modalities and sensing methods etc., which are often in reality accessing collected memory, on many different levels. In one way, that common technique is fine because one sees the story of a situation. But in another way, it could be seen as feeding the ego because it is not sensing the Truth of the situation, which would actually create more growth for the receiver.

Put in another way, Vortex Healing sensing is not about improving our ability to have experiences and see more ‘things’ – angels etc. It’s about awakeness waking up to itself in this moment, and from that the truth of the situation has space to arise.

Our looking for Sensing/Divinity/Love etc. makes us blind, because we’re coming from a perspective that is distorted by lack etc. – by deep conditioning. This new way is really about sensing without looking for anything. Sensing is on a need-to-know basis. We don’t sense what we don’t need to know. That’s why we often can’t see/get things we ‘want’, because that want point of view is coming from lack, or some other conditioning. We sense what we need to sense in that moment. As frustrating and sometimes terrifying as that is for the ego, that’s how it is.

To assist your own sensing ability, take what happened to me during lunch on the one-day Sensing class. This is an example of how simple all this really is and how helpful it can be:-

I was sitting in a busy restaurant with friends, trying to decide what to eat from the menu. My mind was telling me to have one dish and my body another. Usually, my story was that I should go with my body. But this time something else happened. When the waiter came, I ordered a different dish entirely, having no idea where this came from. In fact, I thought it was a dish I wouldn’t like, yet something – which wasn’t me – wanted to have it. So I went with that. The dish turned out to be so nourishing for my body and much better than anything the apparent me could have chosen. I also enjoyed it way more than I could have imagined. It was a laksa soup by the way, with chicken and coconut 😉

In this way, when you go with the Truth in any moment, because you have got to a point where you can feel that, the results are so much more deeply satisfying than anything your imagination could conjure up to tempt you with.

Are you aware that there is an Adyashanti online course starting very soon? It is called ‘The Art of Meditation’ and I am taking it, as are some of you I hear. I highly recommend these courses, even if (and perhaps especially if) you have never met Adya in person. Here is the link:-

Longing for the Divine

Hello,

How are you? I hope this correspondence finds you well. I want to share with you a poem I wrote some time ago about longing for the Divine. Listening to Adyashanti on the bus just now reminded me of it.

Oh what of this mystery?

I turn in the night,

Towards Love, towards You.

Here without motion,

Bathed in such Light.

You, who I can never have

And who never leaves.

Trails of longing remain,

Like vines

Cut off at the root.

Can I speak to You

Without opposition,

Without two?

Your gentle ears listen

Without existing.

A secret Life

Comes in the night.

I have begun attending satsang every week at Villa Devi in Brockley, South London, on Thursday nights. This is bringing oneness more deeply into my living life and I wanted to invite any of you who would be interested in coming. We sing bhajans, chant the Guru Stotra (like the 1000 Names) and perform other kinds of prayers to Amma. Contact me if you would like the details.

If you have not yet done so but would like to, you can sign up to have Mother Meera’s darshan here in London in February:-

http://mothermeera.org.uk/

Also, if you have not yet signed up but would like to, there is a waiting list for Adyashanti’s retreat this August. I recommend getting onto it asap if you want the chance of a lifetime to be on retreat in silence and with a truly gifted awakened guide:-

https://www.adyashanti.org/index.php?file=retreatsdetails&eventid=1221

Last but not least I would like to share something Amma once said:-

“I haven’t come to teach anyone anything. I have come to remind you of a song you once knew, but have since forgotten” – Amma

She utters such nectar with every breath…I thank the day I met this person. The only person I can call teacher and mean it.

I hope you are enjoying your week,

Love,

Daisy

Amazing U-AP…

Hello,

First of all I want to honour all the sessions I have done so far with those of you who have booked since I have come back from the Vortex Healing training. It is simply amazing what can be done now with these new tools – beyond anything I could have hoped for.

One session in particular – the one I just did, has left a streak in me that feels very blissful 🙂 There was a period during it where it was as if I could see into the doorway of the Divine: I experienced this person’s system being turned inside out by the Divine in a spectacular show of firework-like beauty. The light which I witnessed has had a profound effect on me, on a level I could not have even imagined. Thank you to that person for this opportunity!

So, please do come and have something worked on if there is something which feels out of alignment for you, or in your life.

Just to remind you that Amma will be here on the 10th & 11th Nov only, in London. The Devi Bhava will be on the night of the 11th. Please ask any questions you may have if you have not yet met Amma. Entrance and darshan and may other things there at Alexandra Palace are free. Here is the link:-

http://www.amma.org.uk/ammas-tour.htm

Also, you have until the 31st Oct this month to pre-register for Adyashanti’s retreats next year. Here is the link:-

http://www.adyashanti.org/index.php?file=retreatsschedule

And finally, in answer to some of your questions: my prices are remaining the same for the U-AP work. Some of my friends and colleagues have raised prices and, while I support them in that, Divine guidance has shown me to keep mine the same: £80 for a 1 & 1/2 hr session.

Looking forward to being with you in this immense grace 🙂

Love,

Daisy

Distance Healing

Hello 🙂

I am off on my journeys tomorrow, beginning with the silent meditation retreat with Adyashanti.

After that, I am available for distance healing from the ashram with Amma and then from Virginia Beach for the Vortex Healing training, ‘Original Veil’. In all cases this will be by (limited) email arrangement and communication, due to circumstance rather than choice.

The time difference in Amma’s ashram is that I will be 4 & 1/2 hrs ahead of London. That is from the 28th Aug – 14th Sept (allowing for adjustment days). In Virginia Beach, I will be 5 hrs behind London. That is from 20th Sept – 3rd Oct. In the ashram my time is more flexible, in Virginia Beach I will be available after 6pm (or early mornings) local time.

Please do book as soon as possible, because email is limited while I am away. But if you can’t, then email me whenever you can. I am in service to you.

May the force be with you 🙂

Love,

Daisy

Awakening

Hello 🙂

How are you? I hope you are enjoying the opening that the summer can bring. I want to write about something I don’t find easy to write about, but that I often get asked about. I hope you find it useful.

People often ask me about my experience of awakening. Firstly, I want to say that this is a wide term used for a variety of quite different things. From my point of view, I am talking about the ‘I’ in the heart completely dissolving and never coming back, and the subsequent living of life without separation. I am not talking about the full embodiment of that, nor am I describing ascension, the end of suffering or a spiritual vision, experience or insight, or about theories or philosophies of any kind. Many of those are lovely and I am as partial to them as the next person. Awakening, though, is sudden and unlike anything else. It comes in through the back door, as it were…when we are totally unprepared.

In Vortex Healing terminology, we call this the falling away of the Core Veil. In me, that happened in 2005 during a Vortex Healing class called ‘Heart, Freedom, Presence’. I have written about this on my website in the bio page. The interesting thing is that I am observing more and more that people are coming to me with a deep longing for awakening and I seem to be able to (as other practitioners of my level in Vortex are able to) work on that with them using the Grid tool, which you may have experienced me using with you in healing sessions. Last week, this happened in a session with a client who has recently completed the Omega level training in Vortex. The healing began and I was guided to work on her Core Veil using the Grid. Within seconds, I saw a piece of it move, completely falling away. This has happened before in sessions, but it never ceases to thrill and amaze me… I felt so privileged to be there and to be able, via Grace, to help facilitate this. Needless to say, the client felt the shift.

To relate all this to my own felt reality now, I can say that the oneness realised that day in 2005 is always here, but there are times at which it feels ‘brighter’ (for want of a better word) or ‘duller’ than at other times. When suffering has been great, I have lost all sense of oneness and yet it remains and that is realised in a profoundly deep way. As an example of the ‘brightening’, last Saturday, upon returning from facilitating equine assisted therapy in Surrey, I met a woman on the train who turned out to be a Catholic nun (she was in normal clothing). We shared our passion for Divinity in our diverse ways and how it shines at the heart of both of our lives. When this lady got off the train, she held my hand saying, “Daisy you have strengthened me”. For some reason, when I sat down again, I closed my eyes. I was taken into an extraordinarily deep sense of oneness…it was very beautiful indeed. I recognised the absolute permanence of this – that it is always here, but I do not always notice fully. I sat like this for the whole journey and could have done so for a lot longer, but had to get off the train. Some of the side effects were a deep and profound sense of peace and an in-loveness with everything, including the pavement and particularly the hand rail in the tube station! I felt compelled to stop and stroke the rail for some time. It was so full, of life and beauty and ecstasy… The brightening continued and then faded eventually. I realised that this was simply by believing thoughts. That’s really all it takes – just to believe one thought, and the whole conscious experience of awakeness / oneness can disappear, just as suddenly as it appeared before. It was Adyashanti who I first heard describe this part.

I have not heard anything about Adyashanti coming to London during his England trip this August, but his wife Mukti will give satsang. Here is the link:-

http://www.adyashanti.org/index.php?file=mukti_events&eventid=1222

Also, here is Ric’s (Vortex founder) book, which is like a beginners guide to Vortex Healing, but as a Vortex person of 14 years I am absolutely loving it! Really, really worthwhile:-

http://www.amazon.co.uk/VortexHealing%C2%AE-Divine-Energy-Healing-Awakening/dp/1504330234/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1438259089&sr=1-1&keywords=vortex+healing

Finally, I am still here in London and available for healings.

During my time away, I will be available for distance healing. Again, the dates I will be away are: 16th Aug – 6th Oct.

Love and care,

Daisy

Dreams and Practicalities

Hello 🙂

How are you? I was wondering if you have been having particularly intense dreams of late? I have, as have my friends. I was staying with a friend in a tent and she dreamt that she was going through some hell realms and terrible places where there were experiments being done on humans, even while they were still alive! Then Amma came into the dream and showed her that, yes, she would find Her [ie, God realisation] through even that place, but that it would be so much easier if she would surrender to Her.

Now for the practicalities.

There are still places on the waiting list for Adyashanti’s retreat in August in Surrey. I HIGHLY recommend this. In addition, almost everyone I know who has been on the waiting list in previous years has got onto the retreat. Here is the link:  http://www.adyashanti.org/index.php?file=retreatsschedule

I have found a beautiful space to do healing from, but it won’t be available until October. I am currently offering to come to your home to do sessions, if you live in London (and not on the outskirts). So, for now, I will be able to offer you in-person healings in this manner. Skype sessions remain as normal if you live outside London, or if you prefer them, as some of you do.

I have decided to take 7 weeks off over the summer to answer the deepest calling within me. I will be away from the 16th Aug – 6th Oct. I will first be with Adyashanti (see above), then Amma in India and then Vortex Healing in America, for the class ‘Original Veil’. It is after this class that the sessions I do will take a huge leap in power and depth, because of what we will receive via transmission in class. The best news is, I will be offering distance healing during most of my time away. Sessions will be conducted via email (using the Global Healing Grid), as Skype will not be available due to very limited and public internet access.

Please do call me if any of this is unclear, or if you have any questions, or even simply want to share 🙂

Best wishes and warm heartfulness,

Daisy

Time and Attention

Hello 🙂

You now have my increased time and attention, you will be pleased to hear. I have spent the past 3 years taken over by the BA(Hons) in Counselling, but now…it is over! I got a 2:1! Very pleased 🙂

My other work remains – the Equine Assisted Therapy, the voluntary clinical placement in Hackney and the voluntary clinical placement in Tower Hamlets – but the end of the degree means I have something like 20 hours per week now available, that was previously consumed (on every level) by it.

So please do contact me if you would like healing work. I will also be looking for a suitable venue in the Camden area, so that I can do face-to-face sessions once more.

Looking forward, there are rumours that Adyashanti will do an evening in London come August 🙂 This is in addition to the silent retreat he is facilitating in Surrey from the 16th – 20th.

Also, on the 20th of this month there is a Vortex Healing class here in London, for anyone able to take – or repeat – the Omega level.

I hope you are all enjoying, or have enjoyed, some of this beautiful sunshine 🙂

Best wishes to you,

Daisy

Day off this Bank Holiday Monday

Hello,

How are you? I wanted to say I have been thinking of you although I haven’t written for a long time. I am wondering how you are – how you are with the stillness and what is happening inside you?

I have just done several hours of meditation following a long sleep, both of which I have not made time for recently due to stress. It feels so good to return…

Perhaps I will say a little about what I feel meditation is, as sometimes it seems to be a rather misunderstood term. My experience of meditation is that I come home as what I really truly am in a given moment, or in many apparent moments which seem to be strung together. When I sit to meditate, I often use a guided meditation from Adyashanti (for example, from ‘The Way of Liberating Insight’ online course I am doing), or I may chant the Names to Amma, or I may just sit down, close my eyes and be still. Whatever the practice, to me meditation is what I am – simply that. Meditation is what I am. In a sense, I could say it is the act of being what I am (although that isn’t quite it). And what can happen within meditation is the slicing through, the piercing, of a deep conditioned pattern in a way that completely and radically dissolves that pattern. It may return, wounded, and yet it never can completely return once that kind of insight has taken place. Please do ask me to elaborate on this if you are interested.

What is your experience of meditation? I would love to hear your experiences.

This Monday I am taking the day off. I will not therefore be able to offer the usual Half Price Deal. I suppose I don’t feel it would be ethical to work when I am in the business of facilitating healing and I can feel that my bodymind needs to heal. I am thinking of you and wishing you Love and Truth in whatever you are involved in,

Take care,

Love,

Daisy

This Friday – May I Advise Your Spiritual Calendar? :-)

Hello,

How are you? Personally, I am enjoying the sunshine spree we are having in London 🙂 I’m still very excited by the online Adyashanti course I am doing and by the Vortex Healing I am facilitating. One of you said post-session,

“I never felt so much freedom from a Vortex session….….I almost forgot what it felt like to be free”.

I would like to draw your attention to an event you may be interested in this weekend. This is a teacher who comes highly recommended to me by two close friends. I cannot vouch for her myself, so I will be there this Friday evening to see how she is. She will also be doing Sat morn and Sat eve I believe. Here is the link:-

http://www.saraswathima.org/userGetDesctiption.action?selectedScheduleId=34. Also, it’s a ‘free / donation’ event, so lucky us!

Mother Meera will be with us soon also. I have written about her before, but please ask if you do not know. This is a darshan not to be missed! http://www.saraswathima.org/userGetDesctiption.action?selectedScheduleId=34. I will be there on 26th May at 10am.

If you are having skin or intestinal problems, I would like to recommend my friend’s new enterprise, offering consultations on these issues. He comes from a nutritional/scientific perspective and aims to isolate the root and address the problem from there: http://www.perfectskinhealth.co.uk/.

A colleague recently made a very important point (on FB) regarding the phenomenal shifts which have happened in Vortex over the past few weeks. The advances mean that after the Original Veil course this September (which I will be on), we will be able to transform an entire issue in only a few sessions, or less. Not only does this save you a lot of money (because you will need less sessions), but also, here is what Ric (head of Vortex) says about this new work:-

“I can create the results of a full Merlin’s Grace Protocol on myself, including integration, in 10-15 minutes! And with just 2 steps. When done, there is nothing I can do with Merlin’s Grace to add to it, and the release is actually deeper than what would have happened with the Protocol…….Another plus for those who just like to work intuitively, is that you can just follow what you see and channel this as you go.”

Not bad, ey? This is not an April fools 😉 I really don’t know any other healing system that is transforming and growing the way Vortex is. It’s simply amazing… Thinking of you and hoping things are unfolding beautifully in stillness and dynamic stillness,

Simply let everything be as it is…and there Freedom is

Hello 🙂

How are you?

I have been working with Adyashanti’s book ‘The Way of Liberation’, looking more deeply into what it is that I really value in life. I decided to do one of his guided meditations to help, and in the wake of it a text exchange unfolded between my first girlfriend (who I met in secondary school) and I. She happens to be coming into awakening organically, not through spirituality. Perhaps it has been through suffering, or through her training in psychotherapy. Ultimately, there is no way of knowing. At any rate, she began speaking with me about her experiences about 2 years ago and I identified them immediately as the ‘I’ falling away in some way. I want to share some excerpts from our texts today with you and receive feedback about your own experiences, if you feel like sharing them.

Me: It was really good to see you on Friday…….I just want to reiterate something: I believe there is a way out of this for you. But I don’t think it is through psychotherapy. I’m being blunt because I want you to be helped. If you want Marlies and Claudia’s details, let me know, as that may be a good place to start……

R: …..I just feel very unsettled and desperately want some peace. It’s like I can’t live without deeply thinking about things at the moment and you get to the point where nothing means anything……

Me: Ultimately that no-thing is very true. You are touching upon the ultimate nature of yourself and of life I think. But it may be that your mind is suddenly interpreting that as something which is not true. Does that make sense?

R: Sure it does but then my head goes to whats the point of even getting out of bed then, meeting people, working… To know that but to keep going is what I’m struggling with. I would like to live mindlessly for a bit!

Me: It’s natural to feel like that. Me and all my friends who are interested in this have been through it. Essentially the will you were used to living from is gone, or at least a significant part is gone. Before you settle into your true origin point (which happens organically in its own time) and live from that, there is usually a period where the old ‘place’ is gone and you don’t know what is now motivating you. But there IS something living you. You just can’t taste it so strongly yet. Let everything go that wants to go. Holding on doesn’t work, I can certainly report that. So, may as well surrender 🙂 Just because nothing else functions now but that. Soon you will be lived by what you are, rather than trying to live for what you’re not. True freedom 🙂 xx

Also, I took part in a web satsang from Marlies Cocheret on Sat, which I highly recommend. And don’t worry – it is by donation 🙂 You can sign up at any time through this link for her newsletter: http://marliescocheret.us2.list-manage.com/subscribe?u=ac1ec34ebc0ed84c9abdb0045&id=48523f145f

And Mother Meera will be here in May 🙂 Details: http://mothermeera.org.uk/. Do let me know if you are unsure as to what she is/does.

I hope you are well,

Best wishes 🙂 🙂 🙂

“Healing is about receiving Grace”

Hello,

Yesterday I attended a very deepening day with Anthony (Vortex Healing teacher) in an embodiment class. The title of this email is the way he described the purpose of healing, which resonated for me. The class was phenomenal……..really, it never ceases to amaze me what Vortex Healing is doing and the depth to which it can take a class full of students in only 1 day. I reconnected with a very deep sense of stillness, of what I am. In a way, I could end this email with those words! But, for entertainment, I ask you to indulge me a little further.

I suppose what I want to say about the class is that it helped me to see my real interest in life more clearly and to understand that everything I am currently doing work-wise is an expression of that, even though on one level counselling and Vortex Healing sometimes appear to contradict one another. I realised that it is only a lack of confidence that makes me see separation where deep down I don’t experience any, and gets me thinking I should be doing things the way other people do. In a new way I recognised the particular thread that runs through my life and how this is being nurtured. I am talking about my capacity to feel Truth and the fire burning in my heart for the Divine.

I want to talk briefly about why I have been unavailable of late and to acknowledge that that may have been difficult for some of you and that you may also have been concerned about me. Between Boxing Day and Valentine’s Day, I didn’t have a single day off and before that I was also under pressure. I was dealing with a lot of difficult life dramas and I don’t say that lightly. They included needing to separate completely from my Mum, moving home twice, being stalked by a mentally ill client (Police involvement), a bad chest infection and writing the most challenging 3 essays of my life at the last minute. However, it has been a time of deep embodiment, embodying the stillness I found myself as after my ‘summer of love’ (Adya, Amma and Vortex), which then moved into dynamic stillness through these challenges. I am also now involved in some exciting work in Kent giving group therapy to footballers from the FA who are in recovery from substance misuse, using horses. Giving sessions to you has been a major highlight too, plus I got onto the Adyashanti retreat in August and am currently doing his online course ‘The Way of Liberating Insight’.

Now I am taking more time to rest and to do my practices. Therefore I am more available for sessions than I was (NB these are currently via Skype or I can come to you). Finally, I wanted to remind you about the upcoming Basic Vortex course on the 6th March – it is not too late to get on or repeat and I would highly recommend either. You can click here for more details: http://vortexhealing.org/Schedule2015-SortedByDate.pdf

Let me know how you are if you get the time,

Best wishes,

Daisy

The Mystery of Our Patterns

Hello,

I want to write to you today about something I discovered in my own process last night. I was on a real comedown from all the amazing pursuits of the summer and all my stuff was coming up. So I decided to be with it and surrender, as best I could.

Eventually, I began to look into what was happening inside. I realised I had made an assumption about what the pattern was which was coming up and was concerned because I had done so much work on that already. When I felt into everything and talked to Amma and Merlin, I found it wasn’t the pattern I had presumed it was. I think that one had been greatly cleared by all the protocol work I had done on it with Merlin’s Grace and probably by all the time I spent in silence, with Adya, Amma and the Breaking with the Past class (by the way, if you are unfamiliar with these terms – please do ask). It was something else – in fact, there were two patterns and they had been uncovered by the original one moving.

So…if you are wondering, “Why do I still feel crappy when I have had ‘x’ number of sessions of Vortex Healing or done ‘x’ number of classes?”, the answer may be that a pattern which was ‘hiding’ has been brought to the surface by all that work you have done, and it can now be moved.

If this rings any bells, please give me one 🙂

Best wishes,

Daisy

Into Great Silence

Hello,

I once watched a film with the same title as this email. Have you seen it? It is about a monastery and is silent all the way through, with only environmental noises etc. happening here and there – a wonderful achievement in the film world I think. I love the name and it perhaps describes what I am about to enter into at Adyashanti’s first silent retreat in England. I know some of you will also be there 🙂 🙂 🙂

I can feel waves of silence almost like rushes through my system and there was a deep profundity during my meditation this morning. I feel so incredibly privileged to have this opportunity and be willing and able to take it.

So, it is goodbye from me for now. As you know, I will be going to be with Amma in India afterwards, where I will have some email access. I return on the 20th September. I will miss you,

With Love,

Daisy

Real Healing

Hello,

After getting in this evening, I watched this beautiful video of Marlies Cocheret and wanted to share it with you. I am not keen on the other woman, but I love what unfolds and what Marlies talks about. See if you like it:-

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ntlKhLVb_9Y

I also wanted to clarify (because I realised it since writing the last email to you) that it is the awakening of the issue in addition to the re-networking which seems to be so effective in the new Vortex Healing treatments.

I have been touched this past week by the desire of some of you to awaken – in a real sense – to your true nature. The whole flow of the session is affected by this, amongst other things, and it makes my work an absolute pleasure. It becomes an effortless unfolding into Truth, very vulnerable because there is no map and no preparation for that, and yet so soft and open at the same time.

Something I don’t often remember to say is that I invite you to bring anything to me that may come up for you between us. I have learned this from my therapy training and find it incredibly useful in laying the foundations for honesty and intimacy within our therapeutic alliance. This may look something like, “There was this thing you said the other week and I felt like this about it”. Or it may look completely different of course, I don’t know 🙂 But I feel this is an important way of opening everything up and remaining in touch with one another.

I hope you are having a relaxing night: good night for now,

Best wishes,

Daisy

Re-Networking with Vortex Healing

Hello,

What a stunning sunset tonight… Through it I can see Alexandra Palace from my kitchen and it reminds me of Amma. It has prompted me to remind you of the dates for her visit to London this year, which are 27th – 29th October (the last night will be all night for Devi Bhava).

I have been experiencing fantastic results from the new Re-Networking Vortex Healing technique. This is used when other Vortex work has been done on an issue and then the Divine is able to come in and dissolve the remainder of the ‘network’ of what is left for that issue. For myself, working on a fear patterning in my left side has been so liberating. One effect from it is that I can now see when thoughts I am having are simply fear and I can let them go effortlessly. I also feel so much more relaxed and in my body and many other issues (‘higher up’ in my system as it were) have begun to let go spontaneously as a result. Again, I am able to experience them for what they are, as opposed to getting stuck in them. It really is remarkable stuff, so do come for a session if any of this appeals to you.

I will be going away this summer, first on silent retreat with Adyashanti in Surrey and afterwards to be with Amma in Amritapuri. It is not for a while and I am definitely available for healings now, but I wanted to let you know in advance: I will be away from the 17th August to the 20th September.

Some of you have friend-requested me on Facebook. I am flattered. In no way do I wish to reject you, but I have to decline this. You may remember what happened a few months ago and the precautions I informed you that I am taking as a result. However, there is the option to add me on LinkedIn and Twitter, because I only use them for healing. I hope this does not cause offence to anyone, because that is absolutely not my intention.

Wishing you a gorgeous sunset and a light beginning to your week,

Best wishes,

Daisy

Following Intuition

Hello,

I have been contemplating what it is to follow intuition this week. What makes it difficult for many of us, from an awakening perspective, is that there are so many attachments and aversions which get in the way. You sense something – like a “Go this way” – and then ignore it in favour of what you wanted to do, or what you thought you should do. Then that turns out to collapse in some way, because it was out of alignment with you as you really are. Does this sound familiar?

So, what can be done about this seeming catch 22? Really only one thing. And you probably already know what that is, from the very place I am pointing to. It is a question of coming back to reality, of listening to yourself, to that deep and silent voice which only ever has one thing to say. Very simple and, at the same time, not necessarily easy. Meditation, chanting, being with Amma, Adyashanti, self inquiry, walking in nature etc. are all helpful in reconnecting with what life is actually saying inside you. But even before that, often you know what your intuition is saying, even if you don’t want to know.

It is currently Mercury Retrograde until the 1st of July. This may explain a lot, as it did to me when I was kindly informed of it by one of you earlier today. In case you don’t know, this astrological movement affects communication and transport.

I hope you are getting time to enjoy the glorious sunshine we are having periodically at the moment,

Best wishes,

Daisy

Marlies Cocheret in London Tomorrow

Hello,

It has been a while since I last wrote to you, during which time I have been in a personal process and diving deep into silence and meditation. I have been thinking of you, many of you have popped into my meditations and I hope you are well.

I mentioned this a while ago, but realised I hadn’t reminded you – Marlies is coming to London tomorrow and Saturday. I spent last weekend on retreat with her in Brighton and found her work once again to be profoundly embodying and transformational. What I found most helpful was the invitation to rest as silence, with no technique and no conditions.

If you are free tomorrow evening and/or during the day on Saturday, I highly recommend this opportunity to be with an awake teacher who is from Adyashanti. I will be there tomorrow. Here are the details:-

Truth V Conditioning

Hello,

How are you? I know that some of you have just finished Inner Veil in London and also Core Veil, at the same venue (different room obviously). I am so excited for you and the bridging as oneness that this may have created. Please do write and tell me all about it – I am all ears! It is such a huge surrender and such a huge grace to be involved in taking Vortex Healing classes, so (without wanting to sound patronising) – well done.

I was talking with one of you last week and I was reminded of something I hadn’t thought about for a long time. When my ex-partner took her Vortex Basic class, she asked an interesting question to Anthony (the teacher): “How do I know when I am coming from conditioning and when I am coming from Truth? What’s the difference?”. Anthony replied simply that conditioning always has a story.

I hope this is a help to some of you, or maybe even all of you. I have found it very helpful myself. Not so much as a technique or something to ‘meditate on’ (when people say that, they are often doing anything but meditating), but as something much more direct and subtle than that. You know when you are trying to make a decision and your mind keeps coming up with lots of ‘reasons’ why you have to take a certain path? That’s conditioning. The more reasons and stories and elaborations there are, you can be sure that you are probably acting from mind, from fear, from conditioning. The truthful way (which comes from you as you are) is often the one which is quiet and totally non-demanding. Yet you can’t shake it off.

I received a lovely voicemail from one of you as feedback for a session we had done a couple of days before. Interestingly, although we were working on the physical body, he reported that, “the session was very transformative on a mental level” and that he had felt a lot of surrender and a sense of God during it. Another of you had a very deep response to a session we did to release grief. This person has also taken the Core Veil class (a little while ago). At the end of the session, in which she had had many tears, she said, “I can feel my clarity again now – I can feel the awake space”. She also texted a few days later to say, “thanks for helping me become more aware of the issues I have been holding, for some peace and clarity and deep healing and knowing that is here”.

The texts have really been flowing recently! The last one I want to mention for now is the following, which I received the day after a healing I gave this week: “Hi Daisy, I just wanted to thank you for the Vortex on Tues. It really helped me connect with my knowing that Vortex is a very valuable path for me and I need not use what goes on in my exterior world as a barometer for ‘progress’. I can sense what it feels like now not to be carrying all that isolation in my system”. Isn’t that beautiful? It is at moments like this when I think, “I have the best job in the world”. I want to say a huge thank you to all of you for choosing to work with me.

Remember that I will be going to Brighton today, for the class ‘Awakening the BodyMind and the Core Beliefs’. I will return next Friday 21st March.

Love to you all and sunshine too,

The Bigger Picture

Hello,

How are you? I talked with some of you yesterday evening and had many interesting conversations. It feels good to catch up with how you are and how your journey is unfolding.

I want to let you know about time off I will be having to take the next Vortex Healing class, in Brighton, called ‘Awakening the BodyMind and the Core Beliefs’. When I know more about this exciting class I will share. As far as I know, it is an embodiment class bridging awake consciousness deeper through the physical body and breaking down the ‘Core Beliefs’, such as “I exist”, “I need ‘x'”, “I must survive” etc. (and all that that entails :-). It runs from the 14th – 21st March.

I had a very interesting talk with a friend about the purpose of giving Vortex Healing sessions, outside of the obvious. We concluded that in the bigger picture, having sessions aims to get you to the edge of genuine surrender to what is (not only as a flash of insight, but as an ongoing reality). This will take a varying amount of time depending on where you are in terms of that surrender. But receiving Vortex Healing is not about having sessions forever and the sessions being the be all and end all. The point is freedom. Please do ask me if you have any questions about this.

Some of you have wondered to me whether I receive Vortex Healing myself. Of course I do, though I admit not enough. The healings I have been exchanging with a practitioner-friend have been so powerful recently… After one I gave to her, she remarked, “That was the most physically intense session of my life”. The session was at a distance, incidentally, and this person has been doing Vortex since 1997. When the moment is right, the Divine can strike 🙂 This really has nothing to do with me, it is simply a question of timing, which ties in with what I have been talking about.

I often remark on the importance of catch-up work, i.e. bridging the release work done in the session through your whole system in an integrating fashion. There is a new discovery for this, which Ric writes about: “this is an important area that needs catching up: if you intend to catch up your LifeField pathways to all the other work you have done (with M.Grace), it should all be caught up within 10 minutes. And it will give you a good sense of the LifeField pathways since all the movement will be within them.” If you would like to have this done, please ask me.

And finally, also from Ric, something I thought would interest you: “This is to alert the general Vortex community that two new kinds of healing work have come in at the Merlin’s Grace level, in case you feel this can help you. As Merlin’s Grace has gone deeper, it is now effective at releasing the fascia pathways as well as what I call the biochemical pathways. The result is the ability to clear trauma at a much deeper level, to be able to get much deeper into the way both trauma and issues are held at a brain level”.

See you soon,

Love,

xDaisy

True Talking 2

Hello,

First of all I would like to apologise to those of you who received the last review several times – it was a Yahoo fault. I think it may have been influenced by the Mercury Retrograde we are experiencing (5th – 28th of this month). For those of you who don’t know what that is, in a nutshell it is a planetary movement affecting communication, technology and transport, often with chaotic results! Does this ring any bells? 🙂

On the subject of movements, there was a mini lineage shift within Vortex Healing on the afternoon of Thurs 6th Feb. For me, this was huge and really flushed out a lot of core conditioning, though I had no idea why at the time (as Ric Weinman only informed us of the shift afterwards). If you have taken Vortex Healing classes (in particular Merlin’s Grace) you may well have felt the effects. I’m not sure the word ‘mini’ quite captures it! In terms of what this means now, Ric writes: “The nature of the shift will mainly impact the Merlin’s Grace wizards, as it will facilitate deeper levels of bridging that only you have. In particular when doing distance work.”

Last week I spoke about a very inspiring conversation regarding awakening, which I had with one of you. That theme seemed to continue into the next week, this time with the thread running right through the human-ness, like a kind of embodiment. I had a conversation with one of you which was the most difficult and the most important of my career. The person raised a personal issue with me, regarding how I had been during the last session. I suppose this was my worst-nightmare-scenario of what could happen with a client, and it happened. The way I engaged with it was to be much more honest than I thought possible, returning to the felt sense of Truth as my anchor. And from what I witnessed, this person attempted to do the same. Through that willingness to rely solely on what is real and authentic, tears began to flow for both of us and in an absolute meeting, the situation began to unfold and resolve itself. What an amazing experience…and one that really is hard to put into words.

During a session with somebody else last week, again it was in the talking part that so much healing work happened. I must stress that this is a question of the willingness to be authentic, on the part of both parties. At the end of this ‘true talking’, the person said to me, “It is really important to be able to have this kind of sharing of what is going on with me. Truth is coming through you it feels like, when we talk.” This is similar to what I mentioned someone having said to me the previous week. I am reminded of what Adyashanti calls ‘prajna’, a Zen term meaning ‘heart wisdom’, when the willingness to rest as the unknown allows the known to be spoken. I am not talking about any kind of mental “I know”, or about ideas or theories; I mean something far deeper than that. Does this resonate?

A happy story from one of you, who has had big problems with digestion and leaky gut, plus candida. He has experienced a big improvement in these areas, having tried everything under the sun first. He feels that the sessions with me, combined with taking Vortex Healing classes, have been the deciding factor in this physical transformation. I would add that it is his dedication to healing himself which has been the fuel for all of that. It is also interesting to note that I was not only working on the physical level – in fact, the main focus of our sessions was to clear the core emotional position he entered this life with. This gives further credence to the notion underpinning Vortex Healing, which is that it is the core sense of separation and the karmic, genetic and emotional expressions of that (the ‘conditioning’) which is the root cause of physical problems in the body.

And finally: I got a beautiful text from one of you which really brought a smile to my heart: “I’ve been great after our sessions. Fear has definitely been removed from so many different situations. It is sometimes so completely gone that I forget that just a few months ago the same situation would have been terrifying for me to deal with. Thank you so much”.

Please do call if you want a session, or simply want to share your experiences,

Love,

xDaisy

Appreciating You

Hello,

How are you today? I just had a phone call with a person who really made me appreciate all of you so much and I wanted to share that. This person wanted my help in healing, but it became obvious to us both that the synergy of us was not going to work. It is rare that I have this experience and also rare that I meet a strong spiritualised ego. It reconnected me with your (and my own) true dedication to truth at all and any cost. So thank you, for being you.

I also wanted to let you know about some great new work with Merlin’s Grace, which helps to strengthen your energy system and increase health and wellbeing in your body. It is also great for clearing headaches, for example. It involves ‘optimising the energy pathways’ throughout your whole system (or in a specific area). Please note that you can do this yourself if you have trained in Vortex Healing to a reasonable level. This can also be done for the biochemical pathways and fascia pathways. It’s a real feel-good treatment to blow the winter cobwebs away.

I have joined a group Zen Meditation at the recommendation of my friend Neil and cannot recommend it highly enough. It feels like the deepest rest in the world… The technique is simple and it requires only a bit of co-operation with rules (posture, bowing etc. – not complicated). And of course, your passionate desire for truth! But I don’t have to tell you that. Here is the link:-

I am off to Glastonbury now and will return on Sunday night. Enjoy your weekend and see you soon.

Love,

2014

Hello,

How are you? I wonder how January is going for you and whether you are making plans for the rest of the year? I am looking forward to doing a Vortex awakening class in March and then going on a silent retreat with Adyashanti in August. You can still get on the waiting list for that I believe. But more importantly – are you touching into, in a deep way, what it is that you are in this life for?

On this subject, I have a video to share with you, which I watched with friends on NYE. It’s an old favourite, so forgive me if I am repeating myself:-

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j2wcqjFC13M

A number of you went through the very powerful experience of taking the Core Veil Vortex class last year. Ric (the founder of Vortex healing) describes this as ‘basic awakening’ and I agree with him, from my own experience. However, that is not to say that everything is suddenly ok after that because one is awake. It is the beginning, or can be, of a love affair with the Truth, with reality itself. Here is what one of you had to say about life after this class: “It was like I was living in a masked ball but didn’t know it, until I woke up from it”.

The work with the Assemblage Point is going very well indeed. Here is what I wrote after one session recently:-

At the beginning, after a long talk connecting us and working through some trauma, I closed my eyes and there was only oneness. Then I got moved into her heart and the tightness in there . Then gradually down into her root and the fear element – the pain first, then the fear was revealed. But all of this was happening spontaneously. There was no doer – I wasn’t doing anything. It happened and we both followed. Then after a while of being in her root, I did the AP protocol work.

This client said after this healing (plus another healing with a friend of mine): “So what I noticed is changes in my reactivity: I am more patient. I have more compassion and understanding beyond thinking. It feels good :-)”.

Another of you reported that after I had finished the AP protocol work on the core emotional position he entered this life with, a huge parasite came out of him. So, anything can happen with this work! And I got this lovely email the other day too: “So much has transpired since then. Lots of new positive insights. It’s amazing how these 4 healings have created such a subtle yet profound shift in me.”

Have a good Monday and I’ll see you soon,

Love,

xDaisy

Happy New Year

Hello,

Happy New Year to all of you. I hope you had some wonderful celebrations on NYE and have recovered fresh for 2014. However, if that seems like a faraway dream, you know where I am. This can sometimes be a difficult time of year for some people. Even if it is just for a short chat, I am here.

Thank you to those who participated in the recent new year sale. I am feeling very inspired by you all at the moment. Seeing how you are opening into the willingness to die into the unknown and wake up from the dream of separation is a joy to behold. Really, it is an honour to be part of that. Sometimes I feel like I have the best job in the world.

More and more I am seeing how the talking part of the session is much more than just talking. There is so much going on in that beginning part of a session, and in another way so little – because there is only awareness. I think you know what I mean 😉 The channelling part of the healing sometimes feels like the follow-through, rather than the be-all-and-end-all I used to think of it as.

There is something new which can be done for places (like an organ) where emotional energy has become compressed and toxic, causing physical problems. In fact, if you have a physical issue, this is often what is happening. I use Merlin’s Grace to ‘clear the energetic body interface to the [insert organ etc.]’. It takes about 1 & 1/2 hours and can be done in person, but not at a distance (sorry internationalites!). This is a really good release for the kidneys, which carry so much fear/survival energy and also control the energy of the body overall and it’s temperature (according to Chinese medicine and other modalities). Let me know if this appeals to you.

All that’s left to say is that I feel a lot of love for you all and for this journey into Self which we are all making. As you know, I have had my challenges this year, not least the break-up with Sarah 2 & 1/2 months ago. So I am feeling a lot and experiencing the roller coaster of life at the moment. Yet in spite of this, I still feel awake and aware. Well, most of the time anyway! Ric pointed out to me that it is really a matter of what one pays attention. I hope that is a help to you also. Take care and see you soon,

Love,

xDaisy

What You Can Receive from Vortex Healing Now

Hello,

I realised I haven’t written for a while about all the new ways in which Vortex Healing can help you at Merlin’s Grace level. Here are some of the techniques that I am now able to employ in our sessions together:-

Simply by channelling Merlin’s Grace energy alone on an issue you have will clear the issue from all the energetic bodies, through to the 8th Dimension; clear the issue from the Localised Consciousness of the Form (the ‘expression’ of awareness which is your human form) – through to the 8th Dimension; clear your chakras automatically; clear the geography of consciousness (imprints of your issues in the larger field of consciousness); clear the heart identity consciousness (literally the heart of the matter); clear issue beliefs & belief packages (that are ready to go); and catch up your inner ‘story’ – that is, the story you keep telling yourself about who you are.

Pretty good? As always though, I want to stress that I can help you meet your issue in a session and channel to clear a big bulk of it, but it is whether or not you are willing to meet that issue within your life which truly determines the end of that issue.

There is the work with the AP (Assemblage Point) & Reality Streams: this is our deepest way of utilizing Merlin’s Grace for issues. When used on someone with no Core Veil, it automatically breaks down all the identities that were associated with that issue, leaving very little in the rest of the system to catch up. And with someone with a Core Veil, it still releases the issue to the deepest possible extent currently possible.

Reality Rifting: Rifting enables you to access your other possible selves and their corresponding realities, and to some extent, bring one that is more desired into manifestation, replacing the one that is presently manifested. It is an incredibly powerful healing technique that works on both emotional and physical levels, accessed through Merlin’s Grace.

Merlin’s Grace can also strengthen a weak energy system and channel in a Special Grounding Frequency to bring you back down to earth (lol – I know, perhaps the Vortex Healing lingo could do with some of that too!). 

It can be used to clear Mum or Dad’s conditioning from your system, incorporating the release of the Parental World View Identity (as it sounds).

Since the recent Vortex Healing Earthshift, lineage shift, working with the Assemblage Point and  spending quality time with Amma, I have noticed that the sessions I facilitate have gone much deeper than before. Here is what some of you have experienced recently:-

Client 1: The session was to clear rejection. The client had such a deep release during the last part of the reality stream releasing from the Assemblage Point, that his body was shaking and he was crying within, his body even convulsed. This is a major thing for him and has only happened twice in about 5 years! I felt such deep stillness as both of us, that I was unable to channel at all for a few minutes and simply rested as oneness.

Client 2: “…I’m feeling much lighter today and my sinuses have stopped hurting since the healing! Thank you so much :-)…” (NB, I did not even work specifically on her sinus problem – the session was to release core guilt)

Client 3: by the end of the session, this client spoke about his experience of the healing (releasing deep anxiety in the body) and of Amma. He began to cry and shake uncontrollably. This continued for 20 minutes. I sat with him and remained as still as possible, whilst being totally intimate. It was an indescribable honour to be present with this movement of freedom arising as this person and breaking down conditioning on its way through.

Client 4 : During the session, I could smell Amma (her rose perfume) strongly and at many points throughout it. Very interesting, as there was none in the room.

Client 5 : At the end of the session, this client stared into my eyes and his mask was gone. He cried and kept on staring and everything which came up for him I could see dissolving into oneness. Very deep stuff had moved completely out of his system and he was able to finally rest. He said, “I can just be myself. I don’t have to try to be somebody”.

Client 6: An issue came out underlying the neediness / victim issue in this client: such deep pain and sorrow. It was heart-breaking. So we did the session based on the felt sense of this. And she smelled Amma – literally as if Amma was right beside her, throughout the session.

Client 7 : We hadn’t had a session together for some time, so I called this client. During the conversation, she said to me, “I can’t tell you what just speaking to you for a minute does”. Sometimes oneness will use my body-mind to meet a person where they are and I feel that that is the ‘you’ she was talking about.

Client 8 : By text from a client – “Hello darling, u can take this with a pinch of salt, and I was doing a process with Durga yesterday 🙂 u came up and she told me you are here to awaken other high level light workers, and in these instances the divine gives you extra oomph haha!!”.  I do take this with a large handful of salt 🙂 and I also believe it is the Divine and not me to whom this text refers, but I included it because of the thoughtfulness and care of this individual and the way that that warmed my heart.

There are so many more, and each session is its own sweetness and beauty. I hope no-one feels left out. Do contact me if you would like a healing,

Love,

Amma in Berlin

Hello,

I have now done 3 stops on the Europe tour (incl. London), because I can’t go to Amritapuri this year. The stop before Milan for me was Berlin. I must say, what a fabulous city! I never thought I would hear myself say this, but London is no longer the place with the best music in the world – Berlin has overtaken us. Everywhere we went we heard such excellent house music, really tech-y stuff, and also fantastic dub step etc. Impressive.

Anyway, most of the time I spent blissfully with Amma. The German people were lovely and everything had been done so nicely – almost to the point of perfection. There was no cheering and clapping after each bhajan etc. (like in Italy) but people were quiet and respectful and that was appreciated in the chaos that is an Amma tour 🙂

One evening, Amma was soon to finish darshan (due to the curfew in the hall) and as usual I was sitting on the stage watching her and going in and out of meditation. Suddenly she looked at us all and began talking in Malayalam. Br. Shubamrita translated: “Amma says she is sorry that the darshans have to go so fast. It was not like this years ago. Amma says that in the olden days nobody had a watch but everybody had time; these days everybody has a watch but nobody has time”. Many people started to cry upon hearing this. That Amma would apologise for not giving even more than she already does was moving. And what a lesson in such a simple way from a true master: it seems that everything Amma ever says has a tapestry of meanings woven into it.

On the Devi Bhava I somehow managed to get to the front of the queue with a timecard from the previous day. It was my Birthday, so I felt very privileged. Then I was seated RIGHT IN FRONT of Amma’s chair! I honestly couldn’t believe it. When she walked in, the power was so huge that I stepped backwards and nearly fell over my chair. It was like being “hemmed in” by Truth, as Adyashanti says. But I noted how strange it is that I say I want Truth, but when it comes I step backwards away from it.

I was also one of the first people to receive Amma’s darshan. I didn’t say it was my Birthday (which apparently you can do and you get a lovely Birthday darshan) because I was praying intensely in the darshan line. The helpers asked me my language and I said “English”. My prayer was, “Amma help me step towards you. I don’t want to step away from Truth anymore. There is so much fear within me but I really want the Truth. Please bring me closer to you”. When I was in front of Amma, Geeta (Amma’s darshan assistant) said to me, “You don’t speak any other languages?”. I was surprised because she knows me; I replied, “No” and she said, “Only Polish”. Before I had time to correct her, Amma had taken me! Amma hugged me and then looked at me and hugged me again. In my ear she chanted in German “Meine Liebe”. Then she motioned to the left of her chair and said “Come around”. I was so overcome I had to ask her, “Come around?” and she motioned again. I felt so blessed… What a Birthday darshan! I couldn’t walk properly when I stood up. When I could, I sat there with her absorbing the darshan for an hour or so.

But I didn’t know what the German words meant which she had said to me. So I asked my German friend. She said, it means “My Love”. I was floored… For 12 years, Amma has said to me, “My daughter”. For a moment, my blood ran cold. I knew that amongst other meanings, this had a deeper significance regarding my relationship with Sarah. I will explain all in the next review.

I want to acknowledge those who recently took the Core Veil Vortex Healing class. Whooppeee! I hope you had some deep experiences – do let me know what yours were. And I wanted to remind you that I will be here over the Christmas holidays, which is often an important time for healing,

Love,

The Power of Good Habits

Hello,

I want to express today how important it can be to do regular spiritual practice. Apart from anything, it is very easy to go into deep connected oneness or bliss while doing so! Without practical application, spirituality really means very little at all.

As many of you know, my personal favourite is the 1000 Names (also known as Archana), which is a chanting practice from Amma. I also love Adyashanti’s ‘True Meditation’, which you can read about in his book ‘The Way of Liberation’ (I have free e-books upon request). But whatever you are truly drawn to is what is best for you. I find that by engaging in a practice every day, there is an ongoing and deepening sense of stabilisation in my true Self. Practices both help us to access and to abide as oneness itself. Don’t underestimate the power of good habits! As Amma points out, “even 1 moment spent in meditation is not a waste of time”. You really don’t need bags of free time to do this.

I watched a very inspiring documentary last week, called ‘Jason Becker: Not Dead Yet‘. You can find it on Netflix and presumably other sites too. My friend recommended it, not knowing that I in fact knew this man. I was AMAZED when he came up on screen! I met him while with Amma in San Ramon in 2002 and used to enjoy sitting near him and watching his incredible darshans with Amma. But I had no idea at the time who he is. His is a story filled with inspiration and surrender, as well as fierce humanity.

A quick reminder of Amma’s dates in London, so that you can book time off work if you wish to see her: 21st – 23rd Oct (all night on the 23rd) in Ally Pally. And finally, I hope you will enjoy this quote on the nature of negative thinking, from writer Mark Twain, as much as I did:-

“I’ve gone through many terrible things in my life, most of which never happened”

Love,

Amma’s 60th Birthday Today!

Hello,

Yes it is Amma’s 60th Birthday today 🙂 I have been told that the 60th is a big deal in India (though usually for men) and that there are HALF A MILLION people in the ashram at the moment to celebrate! The most I have seen is 10,000 – and that was a squeeze! – so I can only imagine… Prayers for world peace were conducted there from Tues to Fri this week at Amma’s request.

This Sunday, Brahmachari Shubamrita (one of Amma’s closest devotees) is coming to celebrate her Birthday at a FREE event in London. It is from 5pm – 9pm and includes bhajans and dinner: Hornsey Moravian Church, Priory Road, London N8 7HR.

I was very touched by the innocence of an email I received from a man I have never met in Germany, who had been with Mother Meera and then somehow found my posts about her and read them. He also sent me this link to an article about her:-

http://www.awaken.com/2012/11/a-special-encounter-darshan-with-mother-meera/

The following part from that article answered a question I had about devoting to Amma whilst in Mother Meera’s presence. I also think it shows so much about where Mother Meera is coming from:-

“It is not necessary to devote or believe in me. If you are sincere to your guru, master, God, Absolute or to the Divine, it is enough and I will strengthen your faith.

Finally, if you believe in God, that is enough for me.  I suggest you do your job and your duties wholeheartedly and joyfully and bring peace and happiness in your family and in your surroundings… If you need me or my help I will help you, whatever path you may follow.  For me there is no difference.  All paths lead to the same goal, that is, to realise the Divine.”

Mother Meera

I learned something interesting this week during my training on relapse prevention in drugs and alcohol, which I think pertains to all addictive / obsessive ways of being. If you are obsessing about anything (a substance, person, past hurt, job etc.) and you wait 20 mins…the neurons in your brain will cease firing on that 1 thing.

That’s all for now, have a lovely weekend,

Love,

Adyashanti Retreat, Br. Shubamrita visit and more…

Hello,

 How are you? I am well, looking forward to Amma’s visit in 6 weeks (21st – 23rd Oct) – YEY!! On that subject, a full-power Amma devotee, Br. Shubamrita, will be visiting for Amma’s Birthday (27th Sept, her 60th), on 29th Sept in Hornsey N8:-

 http://www.amma.org.uk/swami-tour.htm

 Apologies for the confusion about registering for Adyashanti next August in England. It is today that pre-registration opens:-

 https://www.adyashanti.org/index.php?file=retreatsdetails1&eventid=984

 I promise you it is worth it and it will fill up extremely quickly, as it is the only one happening in Europe. I have found that the long-lasting effects of a retreat with Adyashanti are impressive and in terms of awakening he is the clearest teacher I have met (after Amma), along with Marlies Cocheret.

 I had a wonderful time at Mother Meera in London a few weeks back. I know a couple of you went. Did anyone else go and what was your experience? More about that next time and I would love to include your stories anonymously if you want to share them.

 Please do remember to use the bottom bell when you come for sessions, since the top one is currently faulty. And if you would like a quick (or even reasonable!) response to any bookings, concerns or comments PLEASE text or call rather than emailing. I hope you are well,

 Love,

The Power of Love

Hello,

I have decided to write when I really feel inspired from now on (so no set day for the review). I hope this suits you.

I cannot stress enough the importance of talking to friends on a similar path. I have been having a wonderful time in the company of friends and finding that my issues are revealed in the light of Truth, in a way that is much more whole than anything I could have come up with in isolation. I would love to hear your experiences with this, if you feel like sharing them.

I have an extraordinary healing story to tell you this week. A client came in for the first session; we talked a great deal and it became evident that she had had a lot of serious challenges throughout her life, particularly physically and emotionally. I worked on grounding her in the healing, reconnecting her with her body and allowing her to stop. I also repaired broken energy lines in her womb. I commented that there was a lack of love in her and that there was a lot of trauma in the womb and vagina, which she confirmed. But I didn’t do ANY release work at all. The next day, she ended up in A&E with what they think was a burst ovarian cyst. I was shocked! I have no idea why she would react so strongly to a healing such as the one I did. My explanation is that she had a combination of a huge amount of ‘stuff’ AND deep sensitivity to energy (being a healer herself). In the second session, she was like a balloon when she came in (her abdomen) and couldn’t walk properly due to the pain. A lot of present life stuff came out in the session and this time I did a little release work. By the end, she was down to a normal size and was able to walk and to sit down (which she had also been unable to do before the session). The pain was reduced to a smallish area in the left side of her womb.

Adyashanti is doing a retreat in England next year! The first EVER! The process of doing his retreats I would put second to Amma in terms of awakening, and that is really saying something. The list opens on Sunday (1st Sept), as far as I know. Here is the link:-

http://www.adyashanti.org/index.php?file=retreatsschedule

And lastly, please use the bottom bell when coming for sessions as my bell is not working well at the moment. Enjoy your weekend,

Much Love,

50% Off This Monday 26th August!

Hello,

I want to tell you about my fantastic Bank Holiday Deal on all treatments 🙂

50% off this Monday 26th August!

Vortex Healing®, Reiki, Infinity Healing, Merlin Healing and Swedish Massage (at least 1 hour) = £40

Indian Head Massage (1/2 an hour) = £15

This applies also to pre-booked sessions this Monday. Please call if you want to take up this offer: 07931 536 700.

I had a wonderful time in Finland. Really spectacular… While I was there I got the chance to more fully immerse myself in spiritual practices, mostly the 1000 Names, stillness and reading Adyashanti’s book ‘The Way of Liberation’. Here is a passage which I felt you may appreciate (the context is ‘being a good steward of your life’):-

“Your life, all of your life, is your path to awakening. By resisting or not dealing with its challenges, you stay asleep to Reality. Pay attention to what life is trying to reveal to you. Say yes to its fierce, ruthless, and loving grace.”

I also learnt from a nutrition expert there, that the body can only process 1 glass (absolute maximum 1L) of water in one go. Then you need to wait at least 15 mins before having another. Otherwise the kidneys get overloaded and you begin to lose minerals through urinating. This has made a big difference to me in terms of staying hydrated. If you are dehydrated, the best thing to do is to sip a little bit of water continuously for the rest of the day.

I am back, so please do book a session when you can, especially if you like the sound of the Bank Holiday deal which tends to book up quickly,

Love,

Back on 19th August

Hello from Finland 🙂

It is beautiful here… We have been swimming in a huge natural lake after having a sauna, eating healthy food, playing charades and generally having a wonderful time in the purest nature I have ever seen. We are staying with friends from Amma and Vortex – Chetana and Mikko, which means we have people to go on about Amma with and to do the 1000 Names with – which feels like the biggest blessing of all. I will be back on the 19th August, if I can tear myself away 🙂 🙂 I miss you, and giving healing actually though 🙂

Something I have noticed over the past week, in working through my own issues, is that the one you think is your core issue often isn’t – that issue may well be concealing another one. It is easier for someone else looking into your system to see that, but when you are working on yourself with energy this is something bear in mind.

There is some more that can be cleared for the Assemblage Point, which Ric has written to us about. The Assemblage Point exists on something he is calling the ‘luminous egg’, which you can think of as your entire system and field of energy. This egg has bands around it which, in part, hold conditioning – more on the genetic and physical levels. These bands can be cleared, with apparently profound results: for example, the intention of ‘clearing the band (of the luminous egg) that holds allergy conditioning’, or ‘clearing the allergy band’, will make a big difference to allergies.

I would like to give a polite reminder about cancelling or re-scheduling an appointment: please give me at least 24hrs notice, otherwise the cancellation fee is £50.

I hope you are enjoying yourself and that I see you soon,

Love,

xDaisy

Receiving Everything

Hello,

I would like to share some of how the retreat and the one-day with Marlies Cocheret were. The content of each was similar, though the different women in the groups brought unique flavours out. What I have noticed about attending retreats with both Adyashanti and Marlies, is that the after-effect really lasts. The impact of the retreat goes on, having the permanent quality which all true awakening teachings share.

We engaged in several exercises with one another and on our own, including a dance into nothingness (or I could equally say, everythingness) call the Tandava, self-inquiry into the nature of our experience of femininity (done in pairs) and guided meditations. The threads that ran through it all were a rooting in stillness, a celebration of the body and the willingness to reveal our vulnerability, as much as we wanted to. Here is an excerpt from my diary at the retreat in London. It is in regard to the experience of thoughts / feelings arising during meditation:-

‘Amazing to begin, tentatively, to receive. I am receiving what comes up and in and around. Instead of pushing everything away during meditation, I am receiving everything. Far from preventing Silence, in this way everything is spontaneously penetrated by Silence.’

As I am writing this, I am aware that I can’t possibly put into words the profound experiences I shared with the circles of women in Sussex and in London. It just sounds flat in comparison to the reality. As Adyashanti has said, “My job is to fail well”. Perhaps I am failing badly though…oh well!

There was a level of emotionality that was touched by the presence of Marlies that I haven’t experienced in many other places. I don’t mean the gushy level, where emotions are put on a pedestal well above their true place. More like the plain which is revealed when stillness begins to seep into the cracks of who you thought you were the moment before, and it cracks the mask beyond repair. Far from being forceful in nature, this kind of movement is subtle and refreshing, like a breeze, even while pain or passion or sadness are expressing. It feels to me like the place where all worlds meet.

On a practical note, I will be on holiday visiting friends in Finland from the 13th to the 19th of August, so please book before or after this time. The work with the Assemblage Point is going wonderfully, so do ask me about this if you haven’t yet had a session of clearing at this profound level.

Love,

xDaisy

Mukti Tonight in London

Hello,

This evening, Adyshanti’s wife Mukti will be giving a talk on awakening at the Centre for Counselling and Psychotherapy Education, Beauchamp Lodge, 2 Warwick Crescent

London, W2 6NE. It’s £12. I will be there along with other familiar faces. I can’t wait! This is the first time she has given satsang in London, maybe even in Europe (she is from California). She’ll also be doing a retreat day, which is all day Saturday.

http://www.adyashanti.org/index.php?file=mukti_bio

I will be away 7th June – 15th June on a 7 night silent retreat with Adyashanti in the Netherlands.

Thank you to all of you who participated in the Bank Holiday deal. I noticed that the effect, power and clarity of the sessions on that day was very powerful. It seems this way on Bank Holidays in general; it’s like London finally breathes a sigh of relief and stops. And in that space we can really play with energy 🙂

I was in conversation with one of you yesterday and you said the most beautiful thing, which I want to share with the group. This person was describing his first meeting with the Dalai Lama and said it was like meeting his best friend. That really touched me…….that is exactly how I felt when I met Amma for the first time and I had never heard it expressed like that.

Have a great weekend,

Love,

xDaisy

Bank Holiday Sale! Don’t miss these offers……..

Hello 🙂
From tomorrow (Friday)
until Monday, all treatments are £50!
 
This excludes Indian Head Massage,
which is ONLY £20. If you
pay upfront for the 4 for 3 offer,
you only pay £160 TOTAL!
After Monday, prices will go
back to normal, so do take
advantage of this offer.
********
This week, I have been contemplating
neediness and how it acts as
a repellent.
If you feel like your friends are
evading you, “people aren’t
there for you”, you’re upset
at a public gathering and
wonder why no-one wants
to hear about it, you call
all your friends and no-one
calls you back, your “needs
aren’t being met” etc. etc….
Consider for a minute where
you are coming from. If
you’re coming from a
space of neediness (you
know, that sticky kind
of slighty victimy stuff) –

that is more often than not

why the world isn’t answering.

You are not
wrong or bad or to blame
and we have all felt like
this (why do you think I can
write about it..;-)
But nevertheless,
it is my observation that this
energy of need is like a
natural people-repellent.
The answer is to deal with
that place of need – often
co-dependency, or the
deeper isolation which
triggers that, or insecurity
/shyness – and to get
help in that when appropriate.
Loosely connected to that
is this from Adyshanti, entitled
“What do you REALLY want?”
If you would like to see the
whole video, email me and I
will put it on Dropbox, as with the
meditation before.
Don’t forget the deal,
Love,
xDaisy
