Grace

Hello 🙂

How are you doing? 🙂 

It’s difficult to describe the beauty of this country of Portugal, of my friends and of this retreat centre. Yet I found myself again sitting at breakfast and writing, in the pin-drop Silence, deep in the natural world, with a realisation dawning as if it had been sent on the wind.

“It’s Grace that’s brought me here, brought me to this moment. And everything – but only everything – which came before this, led me here. What people call the good, the bad and the ugly – all of it. 

Perhaps, then, every single experience is karma, and if so, what sense is there in resisting any part of the process of life? Do we simply receive back what we have previously given? If so, is this not the harmony – already fully existing – which we so voraciously seek outside of ourselves, outside of this moment, always outside..? 

What if harmony, what if peace, what if cessation, are all an inside job? Who am I to argue with this life..? Who am I?”

There is a Foundational class in Vortex Healing® with Anthony from 18th to 22nd September. If you would like to take this magical class for the first time, or repeat it, please book here :-

I have been sitting with re-starting the Groups. I don’t feel a clear Yes – for now anyway. My sense is that it isn’t the right time. It could change at any point though and I will let you know.

Please note that I am offering private sessions via Zoom – as usual – while here in Portugal. Also, the time zone here is the same as London. Here is the link to book :-

Please do not contact me regarding scheduling, rearranging or cancelling : instead, utilise the email you receive from Calendly for this purpose. It could end up in your spam, so please check.

NB: lateness, no-showing or cancelling / rearranging less than 24 hrs in advance of the session time, will result in you being charged in full.

I will conclude today with an experience which occurred during the build-up to the first Darshan of my long stay in Amritapuri. There is a kind of poetry to the fact it happened on the very last day of 2022 and that it was my first Darshan in three years. Here is what I wrote about it :-

“I received Darshan just as this day had broken. As the man in front of me was receiving his, Amma showed me Her eyes….… It was in a way I had never seen them before. She showed me Eternity……… 

It felt like a steadying force for me, especially for my mind. What I saw was so deep…in those eyes…like pools going on forever……. Eternity….…yet more…….. I felt Amma displaying clearly what I need to dive into.”

Stay free,

Love,

I will be reunited – finally – with my Guru in person after 3 long years 🙂 I am going to India from the 29th Dec – 9th Feb. Please note, I will not be giving sessions or Groups during that period. Most of all though, I want to welcome you to meet / re-encounter Amma if you would like to. I would be happy to see you in Amritapuri 🙂 🙂 🙂 

I would like to draw your attention to a podcast series from a member of this community, Max Buchmann. Check out ‘Heart of a King’ on Apple podcasts (and etc.). In particular, I recommend episode 15 although all of them are excellent. I feel the need for men’s inner work as a strong calling from our world today and I love Max’s approach and the light he brings. I was messaging with him recently because I was thinking about the true masculine and true feminine. Max came up with a succinct description which really encapsulated it :-

True masculine = I am loving, grounded presence

True feminine = life (without the feminine there would be no life and she makes everything truly come alive), openness, expression, connection, flow

By the way, it dawned on me recently to explain something important. I used to think that we weren’t allowed to be friends with our clients – as in the world of psychotherapy, for example. But I wrote to Ric at some point and he said this is not the case. I apologise if I gave anyone the aforementioned impression; it was because I didn’t know. I was once told by a gifted psychic and healer (Chetana Thornton) that it is part of my dharma to create community. So I have been pondering ways to expand upon the Group Healings. Perhaps creating get-togethers in person for anyone who would like that. At the moment, my housing situation won’t support it, but when I get back from India it will be more plausible. It is so enriching to come together as sangha and be in the company of like-hearted souls 🙂 🙂 🙂 

I hope this email finds you well and enjoying your weekend 🙂

Love,

Amma’s Covid Relief Aid in India

Hello 🙂

How are you?

If you are looking for a reliable way to donate to the current Covid crisis in India, here are details of how to do so via Amma’s charity:-

The donation link for the “MA Centre U.K. Covid-19 India Relief” fund is now live. All money raised will go directly to India and will be pivotal to the medical and related relief efforts already provided by the Mata Amritanandamayi Math. NB: it is essential for you to choose “COVID-19 India Crisis” from the optional drop down list; if you fail to select this option, volunteers will be unable to categorise your donation into the covid-19 fund. I hope you share this link far and wide with friends, family and colleagues who are looking for a trusted source to donate to.

To obtain the link, please write to the email address provided on the ‘Contact’ page (as I was unsure if it would be appropriate to share this publicly). Apologies for the inconvenience.

The next Free Online Group Healing will be this coming Wednesday (19th May). Details to follow beforehand.

Love,

until Monday, all treatments are £50!
 
This excludes Indian Head Massage,

After Monday, prices will go

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
