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:-

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,

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,

Mother Meera and Awakening to 0-Self

Hello,

How are you? It feels like a long time since I have written to you as I have been taking the Vortex Healing® class ‘Awakening to 0-Self’ and seeing Mother Meera in London.

Did any of you make it? I saw one or two of you there and would love to hear about your experience.

Mine was the experience of coming into alignment with what I am really here for and then resting in the knowing of that. My first darshan involved my offering a prayer to Mother Meera in my heart and then feeling the answer come straight away when she gazed into my eyes (as is the way of her darshan). The second darshan was more like resting in this knowingness within, seeing the reflection of that in her eyes. We are INCREDIBLY lucky to live in times when we can visit these mahatmas (great souls), who are in the deepest enlightenment and to meet with them in that as far as we are able to go. In the past there was Jesus and Neem Karoli Baba etc., now we have Amma, Mother Meera and Karunamayi. I just feel so amazed that this is possible – that we can simply visit them!

The ‘Awakening to 0-Self’ class was both an experience of deepening into embodiment of Truth and also awakening to a new sense of Truth which I was unaware of. Very profound and moving at times and also feeling that I came home into my body and out of denial of things that were not in alignment with my deepest and truest desire. In awakening we both are freedom itself and ALSO we are free enough to see the aspects of ourselves that are not free.

So, how does this benefit you?, you may be thinking. Ric discussed this in class, which I was very interested to hear. He said that as each of us moves deeper into awakening, so the power which we can bring to healing is greater. What amuses me about this is that once again I am reminded that thereis huge benefit to awakening, but not for me – not for the ego 🙂

I am currently reading a book that is so good, I would say it is the only book I have ever needed to read about enlightenment. I was given it as an e-book, so please let me know if you would like to receive a copy and I will email it to you. It is Adyashanti’s new book – “The Way of Liberation”.

And finally…after a session this week I was told something by one of you that I simply must share since it was so moving and deeply appreciated by me. I was told that I “went beyond the call of duty”. Well, there is certainly enough ego left here to enjoy that one. Thank you 🙂

Love,

Waking Up Out Of Prison

Hello,

This week I have been considering that healing and awakening are not about getting rid of anything. This may sound obvious, but there is often a hidden agenda in human beings that wants to get rid of what we don’t like, whatever that may be, particularly our feelings and thoughts.

But how can we be what we really are, if we cannot be all of it? Next time something comes up for you that you don’t like and your reflex is to ignore it, avoid it, transcend it or even be with it (but with the secret intention of getting rid of it), try simply allowing it to be here. I would be delighted to hear what happens.

Ric (founder of Vortex Healing) has written to us with an interesting tip on healing IBS and a host of other conditions. Here is his idea:-

“I just read that a study showed that 87% of IBS patients had anti-bodies in their blood that were attacking neurons in the gut (the gut brain). The idea is that these neurons of the gut brain regulate the gut, so if they are being stressed by the immune system, symptoms will develop. Most often, though, when the immune system is attacking the body, it is because there is a virus there.” 

I can release this virus with the level of Vortex Healing I am working with (this is also true for conditions other than IBS), so let me know if I can help you in this way. You may remember me writing to you a couple of weeks ago about gut brain and brain identities. Ric has discovered several others, the most interesting of which is an incarnational identity for each of our core issues. In other words, a deeply held identity in the very ‘vehicle’ in which we travel from lifetime to lifetime. After releasing an incarnational ID for one of you via Skype this week, this is what the receiver had to say:

“I wanted to cry with joy at the space…it was like waking up from a prison I didn’t even know I was in. It’s like I was in prison and didn’t even know it and then someone opens the door and it’s like, “Fuck!”. To know that I’m free of that place just feels like liberation and joy and it’s very emotional….it’s great. Massive freedom…and I’m feeling a very physical release of tension. It’s a palpable drop of tension.”

I hope you have a wonderful weekend, Love, xDaisy

Gut Feeling

Hello,

How are you? I am well and feeling a yummy kind of happiness from having taken care of a new-born baby and her Mum in UCH today. My friend had a c-section last night. So, that’s my world today.

To continue from last week, as well as the brain identities for major issues, there are also gut-brain identities. The gut brain (ENS – enteric nervous system) is now recognised by doctors as being its own brain, which will even function when the central nerve between it and the normal brain is cut. Exciting stuff 🙂 We carry a lot of suppressed material there, so I am now releasing this too. Here is what one of you reported after a session involving the release of a normal brain identity:-

“I haven’t done any catch up yet, because I keep blissing out all the time. I don’t know what you’ve done to me, but I’m very very grateful :-).”

He also reported having NO THOUGHTS that evening when he got home.

I want to share with you part of my diary from Amma’s ashram, to give you a feel of my own transformation and the shifts that tend to take place around this living avatar:-

“I did the 108 names, slept and did healing on my chest [I had a chest infection], and then did the 300 names. My intention was to release and let go of the tendency towards negative thinking. Afterwards I meditated spontaneously. I found myself feeling a sense of death and ending – something which I have felt numerous times.

This time, instead of moving away (and also while letting go of the panic at this), I went towards the feeling. I told myself to follow this river of truth within, wherever it may want to take me; to flow downstream with the river and let it take me. I felt the sense of this death/ending more deeply for quite some time. But then I went through it, like a dropping that was beyond my control, and eventually came out the other side. Then I felt a sensation like a sun rising. It started to shine from deep within and rise into the place where that death had been. It was like the experience I had in Sensing class recently, and the process was similar too, only this time it feels like it has gone even deeper.”

Thank you for indulging me! I hope you are well and wrapping up warmly in the snow,

Lots of love,

xDaisy

Thank You…and Au Revoir

Hello 🙂
Last night I went to see a
teacher called Pamela
Wilson at a gathering
about awakening. It has
left me with such a tender
sense of silence…I am so grateful.
Here is her website
if anyone is interested:-
Although I am excited to be
spending time with Amma
in India, being and doing
what I love most, I must say that in
writing this email I feel
sad and I will miss you all!
Thank you for coming to
me and sharing your heart.
I consider it an honour and a privilege
to be a person whom you permit
to receive you as you are.
I hope you have a wonderful
Christmas and New Year.
See you after the 9th Jan,
Great Love,
xDaisy
ps Sorry it’s late again!

A Belief is the Magic Dust We Add to A Position

Hello 🙂
Beliefs are generally
thought of as a mental thing,
but they are so much more than that
– infiltrating the whole system, the
heart, even the physical tissue.
You literally live and breathe
what you believe.
This week, I was able to witness
the power of releasing such a
belief during a session with
one of you.
The belief was “I’m not safe”
and I have found this tends to
get created in reaction to
abuse of any kind. As I began
to intend for this belief to clear,
my client began to breathe
very quickly and shallowly.
Then she started to shake right through
to her core. She cried and
allowed herself to really let go.
This was not a dramatised
process, rather a healthy giving
up of a deeply held position.
You could say, she was ready.
Do let me know your thoughts on this
and any questions you may have
about releasing beliefs or anything else.
I am here until next Monday
and then after the 9th Jan,
Love,
xDaisy
ps Sorry it’s late!

Integration for the Nation :-)

Hello 🙂
How are you?
I am well – very well in
fact, after attending Anthony
Gorman’s Sensing class
(Vortex Healing)
on Wednesday. More about
that later.
I have an offer on at the moment:-
Only £40 for a session of
Energising and Integration.
This is because many of you
are not getting enough of
either of these and I would
like to make sure you do.
I want to talk about some of
the wonderful experiences
I have shared with some of you
this week.
One person came in with
some deep emotional
conditioning which I attended
to. Interestingly, the effect of doing
that is not what may have been expected.
Here is her feedback:-
“Thanks for a great session. As usual
 the day after my creativity peaks.
Got in 3200 words this morning! Feel great”
So, it goes to show that it
really is worth unblocking those
deep places of emotionality –
you never know what might
spring up in their place.
Another person I have not had
the chance to work on recently,
but did so some time ago,
contacted me. She asked me
to work on her family and when
I thanked her for the recommendation
she had this to say:-
“I have felt what you do and I have
a lot of faith in your abilities so it
was really a no brainer 🙂
You were the only one who ever
came into my life and helped to
the degree that you have and for
that I will always be grateful.
So I will continue to recommend you
to everyone I meet who needs help.
Thank you!”
********
The Sensing class was amazing…
I have taken this class about
4 times, and it has always been
taught in a unique way and
also had a unique effect.
You can take this class after the
2nd level of Vortex Healing –
Magical Structures.
This time it went very deep for me.
I was ready to stop moving away from
a central fixated drama which
had been going on for over 2 years
and had also spawned many
mini-dramas. I’m not sure I’m ready to
publicly declare what they were,
but feel free to ask me privately.
As I sat, I realised I had always
moved away from what I was feeling,
either by analysing, dramatising,
or by hiding in awakeness.
When I faced it, not aggressively,
but just because I actually
wanted to know the truth about it,
the truth revealed itself to me.
And it went on revealing.
Everything I wanted to know
at that point in time, I knew.
It was like a deep falling
or you could say, dissolving.
What dissolved was what I
had thought before was truth,
and what remained was
was something completely
different to that. I could never
have imagined what real truth
is……….a love that
permeates all that is, a peace that
can never be touched.
Of course, I had touched that
before – you have touched that
before, I have no doubt about that.
But when I was willing to stop
moving away from what was
painful, then and only then
could it really open itself up and shine.
A reminder that I am going to
India to be with Amma on the
17th Dec to the 9th Jan,
so please do book if you
would like to come in, or to
arrange distant sessions
while I am away.
Lots of love to you,
xDaisy

A Little Help From Your Friends

Hello 🙂
 
This week I want to talk about
the importance of reaching
out when you need support,
to a friend who really understands
what you are going through.
 
I did just that this week
and feel so much gratitude and
relief. We all like to pretend that
our lives are better than they
are because we are afraid
of our own vulnerability.
But putting on a front is untrue;
besides which, it is has life span.
 
Your willingness to be vulnerable 
IS your strength.
As one of you remarked this
week, “Everything is the
opposite way round”.
 
So, if you have been thinking
of reaching out but holding back,
do it now.
 
Remember that seeking what you
need is a necessary part of
where you are sometimes;
even if you find out in the end
that what you need is nowhere
outside you – that wholeness
in the truest sense of the word,
that eternal harmony.
 
Another part of this is that
often you need to first of
all see that it is you, and only you,
who is creating your situation.
Usually that bit needs
to dawn by itself, but sometimes
it can be prompted by said friend,
or another kind of
supportive connection.
I hope this email finds you
and touches something that
wants to come alive within.
It has permission!
Love,
xDaisy

Bhakti schmakti – what’s the point in devotion?

Hello 🙂
You may have asked yourself,
what is the point in devotion,
what even is it and what do I
get from it?
I’ve noticed that some people
look down on devotion and seva
as if they are some kind of second
rate ‘path’ to awakening.
Allow me to try to answer the
devotion question
 through the following example.
I have been particularly inspired
today by a client who just came
to see me. He stood at my front
door in a completely transformed
posture and glowed with an energy
and love I had not yet seen in him.
Guess what he’d been up to?
 Yes, he had just been to see
Amma in Barcelona. That was
quite a surrender for him, but the
benefit he got is immeasurable.
He looks and feels energised
and loving towards himself
and towards life as a whole.
He has also lost a large part
/possibly all of his core veil.
This is somebody who had been
chronically tired and full of
conditioning for months.
What it is that Amma does so
marvellously I feel, is to release our
inner devotion. Once I felt
unconditional love from her during
my first darshan, that devotion
awoke and it was no longer
a case of THINKING about
awakening and helping people
– it was actually alive and kicking.
I would like to share with you
the particular chant my client has been
listening too and which has released
such profound devotion in him:-
And here is Amma way back in 1988
in America, during her second world
 tour. Check her eyes, in the last frame 🙂
On that note, I am going to be and
serve with Amma over Christmas,
from the 17th Dec to the 9th Jan.
So do come and see me before
then if you can, or feel free to book
distance treatments before I go.
Thank you for your wonderful
stories – keep them coming 🙂
Love,
xDaisy

Laughter at the Heart of It All

Hello 🙂
It feels so good to be
writing to you again. I hope
this review finds you in a
true space and adapting ok
to the suddenly cold weather.
As always, I have many Amma
stories from her recent visit to
London, but I will share only
one with you. Please do send
your own stories in if you feel to.
One morning, I got to sit very close
to Amma while she was giving
darshan. I could overhear the
questions which people were
asking and the translations from
Malayalam by the Swami.
The thing I noticed most was
Amma’s laughter…it is so
beautiful to hear her laugh
and to talk as if literally drunk
on bliss. It was as if she was
intoxicated by the state which
seems to simply be reality for
her, a way of being.
The questions which really seemed
to interest her were the ones
which were not only of benefit
to the person asking, but to
the whole – to everyone.
That in itself was quite a teaching.
She would spend time on them,
laughing and joking and
also listening deeply and fully.
Then one couple went up and told Amma
a joke, which I didn’t hear, but
she laughed quite a bit and said:-
Everybody wants a relationship
these days because they want
someone they can boss around.
In fact, relationships have
even been substituted for pets,
since they are even easier!
I thought it was hilarious!
(but maybe you had to be there…?)
What that said to me is that
Amma is not the goody-goody saint,
she’s about that divine laughter
that’s at the heart of existence
and about being real.
Here is another story which
one of you has sent me:-
A friend told me that she was so messed
up once that she couldn’t get her shit together
to see Amma. But even though she missed
seeing/hugging her, realising that
made a huge impact on her life…
She quit drinking, the loser boyfriend
and changed her life dramatically!!!
I love that 🙂
I would also like to share that
we made a staggering £13, 500
for Amma’s charities in the
massage area!
It has given me so much
joy to know that what we
do really does make a
difference to people’s lives.
I want to finish with a quote
from Adyashanti that a friend
gave me for my Birthday:-
“Actually, all paths lead away
from the truth…..how’s that?
All paths. There’s no such thing
as a path to the truth. The truth’s
already here – where are you going?”
Enjoy!
Love,
xDaisy

Hello from Amma’s in Paris

Hello 🙂
Apologies for the lateness of this
newsletter. I am in Paris
with Amma at the moment.
We are just outside the city,
in a pretty and peaceful suburb
called Cergy.
I will return tomorrow
(Sunday) and look forward to
seeing many of you at Amma’s
program in London, where you can
find me in the massage area.
If you have never met Amma,
here is a little introduction from
the funny and engaging
Louis Theroux:-
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yf_vGArzIbE
I want to share a few experiences
I have had since being here.
For me, it is often during bhajans
(devotional singing) that the most
powerful in-body insights are
received.
At one point, Amma cried out so
intensely to God during one
such bhajan, that I felt a
ball of energy come hurtling
into my heart and I fell into bliss.
In that state, I realised that
giving and receiving are the
same thing – there is literally
no difference between them.
Later during Amma’s set,
 I began to feel grief and
sadness arising. I realised
that this was not actually
coming from me and as I looked
for the root I sensed it
coming in from Sarah and
into my heart.
If I sat as beingness, open,
the grief got transformed through
my heart and body. If I went
into mind/thinking, the process
stopped. Amma was showing
me very clearly how to work
with people in a
more effective way.
And simultaneously
this spelled out for me the deeper
significance of awakening.
That it really isn’t about me,
rather it is meant to serve the whole
of life and alleviate suffering.
These are all things that one can
‘know’ and they may sound
very basic, but it is quite
another thing to actually feel,
experience and realise them.
You may be pleased to hear
that apparently Amma is
beginning to discourage people
from wearing white. I think she
doesn’t want the organisation to
be seen as some kind of cult.
See you soon and
please send me your stories,
Love and Love and Love,
xDaisy

Mother Meera in London

Hello 🙂
Did you manage to make a date
with Mother Meera this week?
If not you may be interested in
hearing my thoughts about it.
What struck me most was just
how transformative it can be
to sit in complete silence
for 3 hours. The sense of
peace from it is still with me
several days later.
As my friend Neil once said
about a silent retreat with
Adyashanti, “You realise
that talking is kind of overrated”.
There was something about
being there with Mother
Meera this time, which made
being silence easy and
straightforward.
Imagine your best ever
meditation, but for 3 hours
accompanied by God staring

into your soul, and you’re

getting there 🙂

The form is to queue up on

your knees, moving toward
her (seated on chair) and
then bow down before her
and lightly lay your hands
on her feet. She then holds
your head lightly in her hands
and when she releases it,
you look up and she stares
into your eyes for a while.
While this was happening,
I clearly experienced and
heard (psychically) the words :-
“I am your own Self”.
It was so wonderful
and so ordinary at the
same time – as if “Oh yes,
of course” “Ah-ha”.
And I felt a huge sense
of gratitude.
I then watched her with other
people for some time before
returning to meditation
(although there was very little,
if any, difference between
meditation and living life
at this point).
I noticed
that with some people
she spent longer and with
others it was very quick.
With some she seemed to
be ‘hit’ by their conditioning and
then swallow it up, and with others
there was very little ‘coming

                                                                                                                                              out’ of them.

When the person
turned around, this made sense
as you could see etched on
their faces the degree to which
they had or hadn’t let go,
and what their life experiences
may have been like.
That’s all the news this week.
Enjoy yourself and see
you again soon,
Much Love,
xDaisy

The Greatest Love of All

Hello 🙂
How are you?
This week I have been
contemplating the high
value we as a society places
on being in relationship.
Don’t get me wrong –
I love relationships as much
as the next girl or guy.
But the fulfilment we are
secretly seeking there
can’t be found in them –
cannot be found in an-other.
When a deeper love is
embraced, which can
most easily be experienced
as silence, the inner guru,
oneness, whatever name
you choose – you
come directly into total
fulfilment right now.
No more waiting for ‘the one’!
The one is what you ARE –
not what you think you are,
not what you feel you are,
and not what you are
searching for.
What you actually ARE, underneath
all the noise and distraction.
THAT is the Love you seek.
I came across this most inspiring
interview on the subject,
which I am so happy to be
able to share with you:-
Just to remind you, I will
shortly be going away to
further my training in
Vortex Healing:
28th May – 8th June
Have a lovely weekend,
Love,
xDaisy
