The 2 ‘A’s: Adyashanti and Assemblage Points

Hello 🙂

I’m sorry this review is late – I have had a lot on my plate in the last week, including having to resign from one of my counselling placements.

I wanted to report a little on how it has been for me since Adyashanti’s retreat: it is as if there is a softness that is so subtle, yet it creates a lot of availability and transformation. As if the quieter the voice, the more impact it has. It is like continuous dynamic stillness.

Please let me know if this doesn’t make sense – I’m aware that it may well not!

Here is some more about the Assemblage Point from Ric, in case you are interested, or want me to work on yours with Merlin’s Grace energy:-

The Assemblage Point: This is brand new work and a new term for Vortex. It is now the deepest stuff we can do on a healing level. Over the last few weeks I have been emailing info to Merlin’s Grace wizards about this, since they are the only ones that can use it, but I want to make the general community aware of this new work.  The ‘assemblage point’ (AP) is a term that I first heard through the Carlos Castaneda books. According to his teacher, Don Juan, the AP is a point on our energy field that “assembles” our reality.  To Don Juan, that energy field looks like a “luminous egg”, and  the AP sits on it somewhere between the spine and right shoulder blade, about an arm’s length back. According to this view, we are all able to have a similar view of physical reality because our assemblage points are all in the same place, and so assemble the same kind of reality. I realised that the assemblage point was not a metaphor but a real, functional part of our energetic reality–and a very deep and key aspect of it. As something fundamental for assembling our personal reality, it contains a lot of the core blueprinting that determines our personal reality.

How the AP works:  It seems that at conception, as the new lifeform begins to grow, a new AP grows as well. As it does, zillions of what I have called “9th D possibility threads” (and now will call “possibility fields”) are brought together for that person, for that life. The possibility fields are then expressed in creation as streams of personal, local reality. I call these expressions of reality created by the AP “reality streams”. I began to play with releasing the possibility fields that were creating specific reality streams for issues, and the effects were amazing. And I was able to upgrade Merlin’s Grace to do this work. 

       Note that the AP gets at the causes of our experiences but does not directly impact our physical reality. For instance, releasing the possibility field that manifested the reality stream of an accident that broke a leg will not repair the leg. The physical universe is constructed from a deeper level; our AP’s construct our perceptions of that universe, our personal reality, which includes all the issues we project onto reality. (It is like the mind-body duality on a universe level, with the AP’s constructing the mind level.) On the other hand, although releasing the possibility field that manifested as the reality stream of cancer will not in itself clear the cancer, it will go a long way to releasing the emotional and consciousness basis of the cancer, which will help it to turn around.

 

And finally, here is an exerpt from an email I received from one of you:-

“I wanted to thank you for the last session we had and update you with what has been going on for me. I think there might have been a sort of satellite delay in my processing but as I lay down to bed on the night after our session, it started to dawn on me what actually happened. Maybe it was a taste, but I think there were moments of non-duality or recognition while I was with you. I expect you see all this a lot more clearly than I do, but I hope this makes sense and I am not talking crazy. It seems quite profound to me at the moment and I am still trying to grasp the implications of all of this. I don’t know if it will last but things seem fundamentally a bit different since then in my day to day life.”

See you soon I hope,

Love,

Retreat Report and more…

Happy Solstice to all 🙂

My friends Chetana and Mikko, along with Anthony Gorman and others, are doing some exciting earth healing dragon magic in Avebury today, which has been building up all week. Emails from Ric or Anthony will follow and I will pass on any news.

The retreat with Adyashanti was even more wonderful than I could have imagined. One of you was there with me, along with Sarah and quite a few Vortex students from Finland, the Netherlands (where the retreat was held) and England. This quote sums it up rather well:-

When I look within and see that I am nothing, that is wisdom.

When I look without and see that I am everything, that is love.

And between these two, my life turns.

Nisargadatta Maharaj

The experience for me was of embodying awakening in such a way that it was almost invisible. It was like grounding as beingness, which didn’t have an ‘end point’. It wasn’t flashy, there were no ‘bangs’ or ‘pops’, and that is the beauty of this style of teaching. Here is an excerpt from my diary:-

Walking in the forest tonight, in the dark, into great silence. The trees seemed to invite me in, draw me into their midnight darkness and depth. Into Truth and nothingness. But what a full nothing…

 

I was amazed at how real everyone was with their questions to Adya during satsang, particularly since there were 350 people listening! The rest of the retreat was held completely in silence. We were told that the two most important things to do were to maintain that silence and to show up on time for each of the 6 or so silent sittings per day. And I found that this container was most useful in deepening into silence and embodying (though I must admit I did do quite a bit of laughing and whispering to Sarah!). The overriding sense I got from the retreat was that resting as silence and stabilising in that primarily, is it.

Adyashanti will be holding a retreat in England in August 2014! He will also visit Copenhagen and possibly the Netherlands again just beforehand. You can register for these events in September by visiting his website.

I had a lovely session with one of you recently who said afterwards, “The heart was just…so open and the body was melting. I felt like I was waking up…”. There is no telling exactly why this happened – I leave that in the Mystery from which it arose – but this person is particularly sensitive to the ‘Surrender-Grace’ aspect of Merlin’s Grace energy. Please request this if you would like to try it and haven’t yet.

I have recently tried receiving healing from a practitioner of Scenar. Let me know if you would like his details. This is a healing machine (hand held) which works by stimulating the electrical energy in the body for healing. While I was receiving it for my neck, I literally felt a muscle PHYSICALLY move back into it’s correct position! Here is a video of Scenar being used on a breakfast television program:-

Ric is very excited about a new technique in Vortex which works with Assemblage Points. Please contact me if you would like me ‘to release or clear the possibility thread for ‘X issue’ from your assemblage point. And it can be done at a distance 🙂 More on that to follow.

That’s the news for this week. I look forward to seeing you soon,

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,

The Power of Sangha

Hello,

This week I have been reminded of the power of sangha: the natural focus in Truth which takes place when you are in the company of friends who are also functioning from beingness.

It’s not that beingness needs this as such, or that it gets created by any particular situation, more that it is simply a joy to remind one another of what it means to live the awakened life by being together.

I also wanted to say that I know I haven’t been ringing as much as I usually do. This is because my degree is at a busy phase. I have started placements and therefore have been travelling a lot and doing mad things like learning about needle exchange as a part of substance misuse training. So I don’t have as much time as I used to at the moment. But I do care and welcome any incoming calls!

Don’t forget your Bank Holiday session those of you who have signed up. I am really looking forward to Monday and hope you are too 🙂

Enjoy your long weekend,

Love,

Alchemy

Hello,

This week I want to present an overview of how and what we carry as history (or herstory 🙂 within, in order to answer some common queries.

From a Vortex Healing perspective, half our conditioning is from our incarnational path and half is ancestral (carried through our family genetics). One issue invariably has elements of both. So…it really is nothing personal!

If I ask you about your parents, it is not a clumsy counselling tactic 🙂 It was a recommendation from Ric about how to deepen our understanding about what your core issues are, which is shown in how you have carried through your parents’ issues. As a Vortex healer, I can help dissolve the bulk of this, but the truly significant changes will happen as and when you are willing to meet this stuff in life, and to what extent. It is in that space that alchemy happens.

I received a touching email this week from one of you, with whom I had done some deep healing work for releasing shock in the abdominal organs. He said, “Hi Daisy, yesterday’s session was really a break-through for me! And I had so many dreams of the shocks of the past 8 months, of the rest of my life & former lives also.”

And that’s all for this week. Enjoy your weekend,

Love,

Healing as Stillness

Hello,

A huge thank you to all those who made themselves part of the Bank Holiday deal last Monday 🙂

A rare thing happened this week: a healing happened as Stillness itself. Now, you may say “Isn’t that always the case?” Yes, in a way it is in that there is nothing BUT Stillness. But to BE that, consciously, throughout the entire process of a session was quite something. The channelling part of the session involved me placing my hands on the receiver, yet there was absolutely no sense of separation and no channelling of one energy into another person, no two of anything at all. At the end, we simply gazed into each others eyes in silence. There was a feeling of completeness and therefore no sense that I had just done a session for a person, partly because there were no two people, no giver nor receiver, and partly because everything was so totally effortless. You may recall me writing about similar healings around the time of my ear surgery some time ago. All of this happened spontaneously and had no ’cause’ per se.

I had a conversation with a dear friend this week in which we were discussing how Truth is an orientation, or rather we were discussing Truth AS an orientation: a rudder steering, gently guiding each of us into Itself. Like a backwards motion, in a sense, Truth can only return to Itself.

To put this back on the ground level… It is not enough to simply follow a tradition, teaching or leader of spirituality. It is what is ALREADY within each of us, perhaps expressing itself as a movement towards that teaching or group of teachings, which really has significance. It is only that which can actually bring about what is known as awakening. Often, the unconscious awareness of it is experienced as longing.

I would love to hear your feelings on this.

I hope you are enjoying the weekend,

Love,

xDaisy

“The World Will be Saved by the Western Woman”

Hello,

I hope you are enjoying the sunshine in London today, or the weather wherever you are.

First of all, I want to let you know that there is still 1 space left for tomorrow’s bank holiday deal (at 6 30pm).

One session this week saw one of you, who smokes 20 a day, spontaneously stop smoking for 2 days afterwards. We weren’t actually focussing on the smoking issue at all and this person hadn’t been for a session for about 4 years, so this is all the more remarkable.

One person was involved in a spiritual practice with a healer they were having doubts about and we worked on these, inspiring them to give it up and instead go and see Marlies Cocheret for a one-on-one session. So, all-in-all a fantastic week 🙂

On that note, Marlies was truly awakening……such beauty and the expression of all that is, including the ‘bad’ bits. It was wonderful to see some of you there and share that sangha space with you 🙂 For those of you who couldn’t make it, you may be interested in watching this video:-

The quote which titles this email is from the Dalai Lama and was shared with us by Marlies. Have a wonderful Bank Holiday,

Love,

If You Really Want The Fast Path, Slow Down…

Hello,

This week I have had the pleasure and the privilege of spending time with Marlies Cocheret. Marlies was asked to teach by Adyashanti in 2001 and is also a psychotherapist and sacred sexuality expert.:-

http://www.marliescocheret.com/

At the beginning of the retreat day, she read a poem which she had written about her first and foremost love – Silence. It was so moving, I cried the entire way through and for most of the rest of the day. The poem met me in my deepest desire for God (aka Silence etc.) and I felt absolute Oneness and total humanity at once. The longing for God was overwhelming…like when I meet Amma. It occurred to me that THAT is what bridges the human and awakeness together – longing. So if you feel that, it is not wrong: it is a vehicle which can help deliver you into what it is you are truly seeking.

The title of this email is something Marlies said in answer to a question as to the fastest path to awakening. Slow down… She is all about receiving and “being touched by life – the pleasure and the pain”, as she puts it.

Not that this implies ‘taking’ or grabbing at all; rather a bodily sense of openly receiving what life is bringing you in this moment, and in every moment. It was so amazing to feel the way she works with people and where she is coming from as a being. She has a unique ability to meet each person in their whole Self – human and Divine, as one. I feel so inspired by her that I am attending another workshop this Wednesday, entitled ‘Silence and the Female Body’.

On a different note, here is Ric speaking about awakening in preparation for his appearance with Deepak Chopra and Caroline Myss at a conference in Argentina in May. I found a lovely transmission in it which I thought you might enjoy:-

 http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=wYRD1ksFqcM

Thank you to those of you who have offered yourselves to the Divine through receiving healing this week – it has been beautiful and wonderful and moving, as it always is. Thank you,

Love,

xDaisy

Alignment

Hello,

My passion this week has as usual been truth, and more specifically, alignment with truth. I have been contemplating what it really takes to wake up to and embody our truest nature in this lifetime. I have come up with the ingredients which I believe are essential. Here they are:-

1. Alignment with an avatar/God-realised/fully liberated being. I cannot stress the importance of this enough. Unless one has a pure reflection of truth, it is difficult (perhaps even impossible) to get in touch with that within oneself, in a deep enough way that it really takes over.

2. Being quietness. Unless we come to experience what it is we are seeking, there is really no possibility of embodying it. Sounds obvious; but I have seen many people do anything possible to avoid quietness, whilst paying lip service to a desire for awakening.

3. Meeting your stuff. Facing your humanness is a vital aspect of the aspiration to wake up, and one which is extremely challenging for many people (probably all people). Meeting issues as they arise in life (instead of denying/avoiding them) provides an opportunity for the lived experience of oneness to flower and blossom fully.

4. Clearing your stuff. This is a much underrated facet of waking up to and embodying truth. Experience has shown me that there is a small minority of people born with little conditioning and who TRULY don’t need to dissolve any of it in order for awakeness to be realised. To really feel the sun on your skin, the clouds must clear away.

Well, I think that’s enough for one day! Please do give me feedback on these ingredients and your experience of them, as I would be fascinated to hear it. Enjoy your weekend,

Love,

xDaisy

Journeying into Self

Hello,

I would like to share this video with you, which is about spiritual autonomy. It was forwarded to me by one of you, with whom I had a fascinating conversation about self. I was sharing that it is challenging for me at university to talk about ‘self’, because for me there is no inherent separate self and has not been for many years now. Adyashanti addresses this by exploring the absolute self and the relative self and, crucially, discusses the significance of spiritual autonomy.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ywwZSmy5hoU

Next week I will be taking the ‘next level’ of Vortex Healing® which is called ‘Awakening to 0-Self’.

This is how I understand what this means: Consciousness arises from Awareness, but it experiences this Awareness as being ‘out there’, so Awareness is perceived and felt as an image and not as it truly is. This is the deepest creation of the sense of separate self which Ric has currently discovered. It is not localised to the body, but fills all of Consciousness becoming Universal Self. This Universal Self is so vast and transcendent, that is FEELS like True Self (and is what many people mean when they describe ‘their True Self’). But really it is our first self-identity – ‘I’. In this class, we awaken from this subtle primary sense of I. Ric comments, “That’s where freedom lies, free of all ego and sense of self.”

I will be attending the class from 14th – 20th March, so please book in advance if you would like a session. Enjoy your weekend,

Love,

xDaisy
