Free Online Group Healing – last one for a while!  

Hello 🙂 

The next Free Online Group Healing is this Friday 3rd Oct @ 1pm London time. If you feel drawn to do so, please let your friends / fam / etc. know by sharing this link with them. Please book your place if you can remain on Zoom for the duration (1hr) in a quiet space free from distractions. Thank you🙏 NB: the following one will be end of November, due to seva on Tour with Amma. 

Please also note : I am offering all other sessions as usual on the weekdays I am at home during the period of Europe Tour. 

Upon request from the last Group Healing, here is the passage I read out at the beginning from Adyashanti’s book, ‘Sacred Inquiry’, pg. 1 :- 

“Transforming Emotions, Feelings of Unworthiness and Physical Challenges 

There is a thread of presence that runs through all, through sickness and health, through happiness and sorrow, through success and defeat. That thread is what you hold to and weave all through your human self, for it is a pure light of conscious being, ever shining and weaving its way through the forest of all your days. 

Transmuting Emotions 

Transmuting Suffering 

Q : Why does the mind return, time and time again, to negative experiences from the past? It seems there is energy there that is in need of being transmuted by allowing awareness to come in and illuminate the negative impressions left from negative experiences. Yet sometimes I get caught up in just trying to solve a past negative experience and it turns into a battle of “what ifs”. Is the transmutation that can occur with past negative impressions a matter of awareness becoming conscious of the impression?

A : The mind returns again and again to unresolved emotional issues for two basic reasons :

First, the ego-mind is magnetically drawn to negativity because that is what sustains its point of view. Negativity by its very nature is magnetic; it pulls everything in toward itself much like physical mass creates gravity. 

Second, negativity is looking for resolution and release. All forms of suffering seek to be free from the grip of sorrow. Sometimes the ways suffering seeks release only creates more sorrow, as when one succumbs to blame, shame, victimhood, control, guilt, etc. But when suffering seeks its release through compassion, love and wisdom, the doors to resolution and freedom begin to open. 

The first and most important step is to remain fully conscious and present in the face of suffering. Because we experience our suffering deeply, we may think we are being fully conscious of it. But to be fully conscious means more than to simply experience suffering; it means to be fully accepting of it in the intimacy of the heart. It means to allow one’s sorrow (not only your own, but the sorrow of all beings) to crack open the heart. It means to stop defending yourself against your own pain and allow your point of view – your negative story about your suffering – to open up to new and unexpected perspectives. Holding your suffering in the felicity of love instead of the self-justifying or self-loathing narrative of ego protectionism is the key that unlocks the door to greater freedom and completeness.” 

For online private sessions, book here (NB : ‘Schedule’ button must be pressed after payment, or the booking is not accepted and money returned):-

Please do not contact me regarding scheduling, rearranging or cancelling. Instead, please utilise the email you receive from Calendly for this. It can end up in your junk mail, so please check. (NB: lateness, no-showing, cancelling or rescheduling less than 24 hrs in advance of the session time will result in you being charged in full.) 

I hope to see you somewhere on Europe Tour and would love to say Hi in person 🙂 

One of my favourite directives from Amma is that, we cannot sit in meditation expecting the third eye to open when we have closed the other two to the suffering of this world. 

Love,

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:-

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
