Free Online Group Healing : tomorrow 19th Sept 

🕉 Om Amriteswaryai Namah 🕉  “The Guru is beyond the body; he is beyond being human. He is the embodiment of pure consciousness. In reality, he is formless and nameless. There is no person there. Only nothingness. How can the formless, nameless Guru snatch anything from you? How can he control you? He simply is, and you benefit from his presence. If you really want to use the Guru, then surrender to your own Self. Your Self is the same as the Guru’s Self” ~ Amma

The next Free Online Group Healing is tomorrow 19th Sept @ 1pm London time. If you feel drawn to do so, please let your friends / fam / etc. know by sharing this link with them (NB: these Groups are fortnightly). Please book your place if you can remain on Zoom for the duration (1hr) in a quiet space free from distractions. Thank you 🙏 

I have had the great fortune to be in several group fields recently and to embody and also learn a huge amount. This was from Adyashanti giving his finale event, the EarthWorks V in-person class with Anthony Gorman and an Embodiment class taught by Ric Weinman. Right now there is an extraordinary sense of Grace, Love and gratitude, in addition to a clear feeling of embodiment. Yet integrating all of this leaves me rather speechless to explain it – lol! Perhaps that’s the point 😉 

This appeared in the sky above us over Hyde Park, during a pivotal moment in conversation with friends on the evening the EarthWorks V class finished :-  

There are a few things from that very recent Embodiment class, however, which I would like to share. There were 157 of us present. It was beautiful to hear Ric reading from Adyashanti’s book ‘Falling Into Grace’, part of which contained fascinating notes on the end of suffering. The gist of this bit I feel is crucial to groc. It is essentially that, waking up to the true nature of our being but also waking up to a whole roomful of illusions we carry, is probably going to be the only way to end the suffering we feel. Awakening can be quite disturbing really, because “who wants to find out that everything they felt was real was nothing but a pocketful of dreams..? Who wants to find out that everything they hold onto and cling to is the very reason they suffer..?” 

Adyashanti went on to explain our addiction to approval, power and control, none of which brings an end to suffering – and, in fact, is the actual cause of it. So the truth is that most of us don’t actually want to wake up at all; we don’t want to end our suffering – rather, we want to manage it. We would like to have a little bit less of it, so that we can just go on with our lives as they are – unchanged, the way we want to live them. Hearing Adya’s words reminded me a bit of something Jesus is supposed to have said, written in the Gospel of Thomas : “Seek, and you shall find. But when you find, you will be disturbed. And when you are disturbed, you will marvel. And then you will reign. And after you have reigned, you will rest.” Taken in the correct manner and not by the ego, this statement can be very freeing. The deepest addiction we have is to suffering itself – and this is something we really don’t want to see. “The very thing we want to be without is the thing we’re addicted to.” If we look at this sincerely, it can be revealed that we have no idea how to live without suffering. We don’t know how to interact, what to do with our time and energy or how to be, if we aren’t suffering.

I have returned from India early, so I am available for individual sessions. There were three main reasons I went to Amritapuri this time and, once they were all complete, it was as if Amma ‘let me go’ : I can only describe it like this. 

Please note that there is now a new schedule : individual sessions are available Mon to Fri, 10am – 6 30pm UK time.

I would like to tell a little story about my time at the ashram in India with Amma. When my friends and I were reunited in Amritapuri, we received Grace upon Grace continuously for about a week and a half. It was like being in heaven… This is how it can be with Amma sometimes; just beyond…….. During this ecstatic period, each of us could be found at different times literally crying with tears of joy and gratitude, because of the things that kept happening to us. One such time, we were asked by another friend to participate in the seva of passing the Prasad plates during Amma’s Tuesday lunch offering. In order to receive this free food, Indians have been known to travel – by foot – for miles on end to reach the ashram. Obviously this action can be caused by hunger and poverty, but also – and this is one of the things I most love about India – by the cherishing of Divinity. The atmosphere in the entire country is permeated with that; no sooner than you step off the plane, you can begin to sense it. 

So there we were in the Big Hall in Amritapuri, watching hundreds of devotees eagerly lining up to receive a plate of food blessed by Amma. People queue two or three abreast and walk up a ramp to where Amma is seated, handing out plate by plate as they nervously take it from Her. If a devotee is very elderly or disabled, after Amma touches the plate it gets passed down to a line of sevites, who ensure its safe passage into the hands of that devotee, who by then is being helped to walk. Upon entering this seva, I broke down in tears. I felt overwhelmed by the sense of unconditional Love in the air, in my life and by the Grace flowing everywhere. And I just felt so grateful to be there, experiencing this, and towards Amma…I couldn’t hold back my tears. Eventually, I was given the position in the line of sevites whereby I could see the whole of Amma directly. As everything was happening, it was as if She opened a window into Reality for me. As I was passing the plates along, I felt everything slow down, to the point of timelessness : time seemed to evaporate and actions seemed to be as if in slow-motion. Then I felt a kind of motion like the fabric of Reality got consumed / sucked in / absorbed into Mystery. Amma began to reveal to me that She was in control of everyone in the scene. I perceived Her as Divinity moving every single person and manifesting every other movement taking place as well, right from the way people walked, to if the food plate dropped on the floor, to if it didn’t – every tiny detail was included in that Totality. Everything appeared as both moving and still at once. It seemed comical to me when I gazed at people, that they were acting as though they were individuals. Because I could see with clarity that this was not the case. It was like Amma was the centre, so-to-speak, directing Creation; with absolutely no separation between these apparent two. All was being directed by Her Will.

Divinity Dancing 

Hello 🙂

I thought you might be interested in watching this informative video about Vortex Healing, from teachers Lorraine Goldbloom, Anthony Gorman and Daniel Wald. It is also a resource you could send to people who are looking for support on their awakening or healing journey :-

I find myself still in a very deep integration process after the recent Deepening in Divinity class I took in Boston. I cannot seem to come up with words to describe either the class, the impacts of it or where I am now in my embodiment. When something this profound hits you, there is almost a sense of disbelief, even while it is happening. All I wish to express at this point is, don’t ever lose faith or trust and don’t ever stop surrendering. When one begins to see the way things really are, automatically there is a recognition of just how Divine the whole of life actually is. And, perhaps also, how foolish one has been not to have seen that during some parts of the journey of life. 

Thank you to Egle Vilutyte and also to Ric Weinman for inspiring the title of this newsletter in your individual ways 🙂

Radiating in all directions 

Hello 🙂 

‘I Am That’ pg. 296 – “Q : You make all these extraordinary statements about yourself. What makes you say those things? What do you mean by saying that you are beyond space and time?

M : You ask and the answer comes. I watch myself – I watch the answer and see no contradiction. It is clear to me that I am telling you the truth. It is all very simple. Only you must trust me that I mean what I say, that I am quite serious. As I told you already, my Guru showed me my true nature – and the true nature of the world. Having realised that I am one with, and yet beyond the world, I became free from all desire and fear. I did not reason out that I should be free – I found myself free – unexpectedly, without the least effort. This freedom from desire and fear has remained with me since then. Another thing I noticed was that I do not need to make an effort; the deed follows the thought, without delay and friction. I have also found that thoughts become self-fulfilling; things would fall in place smoothly and rightly. The main change was in the mind; it became motionless and silent, responding quickly, but not perpetuating the response. Spontaneity became real. And above all, infinite affection, love, dark and quiet, radiating in all directions, embracing all, making all interesting and beautiful, significant and auspicious.

Q : We are told that various Yogic powers arise spontaneously in a man who has realised his own true being. What is your experience in these matters?

M : Man’s fivefold body (physical etc.) has potential powers beyond our wildest dreams. Not only is the entire universe reflected in man, but also the power to control the universe is waiting to be used by him. The wise man is not anxious to use such powers, except when the situation calls for them. He finds the abilities and skills of the human personality quite adequate for the business of daily living. Some of the powers can be developed by specialised training, but the man who flaunts such powers is still in bondage. The wise man counts nothing as his own. When at some time and place some miracle is attributed to some person, he will not establish any causal link between events and people, nor will he allow any conclusions to be drawn. All happened as it happened because it had to happen; everything happens as it does, because the universe is as it is.” (for interested parties, that was the passage I read out at the beginning of the last Group Healing) 

The next Free Online Group Healing is this Fri 28th Feb @ 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 🙏

Amma will be holding a program in London this year 🙂 🙂 🙂  It will be some time from April onwards, but as yet no one knows the dates. 

A friend who had been living with Amma for 3 months recently, shared something important with me. Amma said that the last two weeks of March this year will be very bad indeed for travel. Apparently there will be some kind of affliction in general in humanity at that time, which will impact travelling. 

I have space where I am living in London to treat you in person. Also, if you live within tube Zones 1 or 2, I can come to you if you prefer that. Please contact me via regular text, WhatsApp, Telegram or email to arrange in-person sessions.

Please pay before the session via bank transfer, cash or PayPal – thank you. 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 want to highlight a very moving session which happened recently. A new person who has taken Jewel class in Vortex Healing came to see me. I must say, her present-life backstory was genuinely heartbreaking and horrifying… I will not convey details, but suffice to say it was the most extreme history I have ever heard (which includes my years working as a Therapist in deprived areas of London). Here’s the thing though, when I bridged into her system expecting the worst, what I felt was the opposite. There was all this Light which seemed to be emanating from her… I began to feel I was being bathed in Angelic Light. After the session, I wrote to Ric Weinman with a photo, saying I thought it possible that this person might be an Incarnated Angel. 

When I lay down that night, I couldn’t stop thinking about the whole thing. I decided to tune into some Incarnated Angels I know (I am only aware of 2 actually) and then back to this client. I felt that there was something the same, yet something different. I then had a premonition of Ric explaining to me that this person has a Guardian Angel in her field. When I opened my inbox the following day, that is exactly what he said. I have never experienced a Guardian Angel before (as far as I remember anyway), so this is beyond exciting! (NB : people do sometimes believe they have one – you may have already heard somebody say this. Plus, it’s a term in common verbiage. Yet a real Guardian Angel is very rare.) The most significant thing about this particular unfoldment – I suppose what moved me the most – is the sense of how deeply help was needed and that it came to this person. I am infinitely moved by this……….it really leaves me in awe of the Divine.

My Mum and I had fun visiting the AdWomen exhibition at the Museum of Brands in London last week 🙂 As many of you know, my mother Barbara Nokes is one of the most celebrated and awarded Advertising creatives globally, rising to fame during the Golden Age of Advertising in the 80s and 90s. Although by no means her only work, she wrote the concept and screenplay for (and also cast Nick Kamen in) the now legendary Levi’s ‘Launderette’ commercial, in 1985. I felt proud to see her splattered all over this exhibition and to see how much the other women who also shaped culture at that time were inspired by her 🙂 Here is a little souvenir, although the exhibition’s screening of ‘Madwomen’ was our favourite bit. That documentary is probably still available on Channel 4 in some capacity if you would like to watch, plus this exhibition is still on in Ladbroke Grove :-

Free Online Group Healings :-) 

Hello 🙂

How are you?

The next Free Online Group Healing is on April Fool’s Day (lol!) 1st April @ 1pm (London time) 🙂 Please book your place here if you can remain on Zoom for the duration (1hr), in a quiet space free from distractions. 

If you feel drawn, please let your friends / fam / etc. know about the Group by sharing this link with them. Thank you 🙏

There are two more sessions as well, which you can book via this link.

I will return to London on the 18th April, having completed the class ‘The Magical Jewel’ (the most advanced level of Vortex Healing) in Virginia Beach, USA. Again, I will be offering in-person, private online and online group sessions at that time. 

I was recently watching a rare live satsang by Adyashanti, who was talking directly from awakened intelligence. I would like to share my take on some of what he conveyed that day. The idea that we need to get rid of our egos is only an idea which arises from ego. The Truth has a totally different way, a completely other orientation, and then there is what could be described as a third way. This is when our egos find their proper relationship to our deeper nature, when they come into service to it. The potential of that is that the ego is simply a support to true nature. You see, there’s no war – no going into battle with your mind (which never worked anyway) – and no going against anything. Not even any choosing. It’s as if a type of marriage or coming together occurs : a marriage of what once appeared as opposites. This is the integration, embodiment and surrender which colours true human evolution. 

Here is the link to book online private sessions :-

During Maha Shivarartri in Amritapuri recently, Amma surprised us all by playing an interview she had been asked to give by UNESCO for International Women’s Day! Both days happened to fall on the same date this year, like a marriage of masculine and feminine I felt 🙂 Although the interview we were shown during the celebration was the full length one and this has been greatly reduced, I wanted to include it here. Enjoy 🙂

Om purnamadah purnamidam

Om sri gurubyo namah

Om, That is the whole, this is the whole,

from the whole the whole becomes manifest

taking away the whole from the whole,

the whole remains.

Om peace, peace, peace

Om, reverence to the auspicious gurus

I thought you might like to read these inspiring words from Amma :- 

🕉 Om Amriteswaryai Namah 🕉 

“Life is like a garden. Quite naturally, leaves wither and flowers fade. Only if we clear the decay of the past then and there can we really enjoy the beauty of the new leaves and flowers. Likewise, we must clear the murkiness of the past bad experiences from our minds. Life is remembrance in forgetfulness. Forgive what ought to be forgiven; forget what ought to be forgotten. Let us embrace life with renewed vigour. We should be able to face every moment of life with renewed expectation, like a freshly blossomed flower.”

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 🙂

Amma Live Tomorrow

Hello 🙂

Thank you to all those who attended the Group to heal Shame this Wednesday. I was deeply moved… Thank you for having such courage and for those who shared, to share in the way you did.

Amma is transmitting her monthly live public program online tomorrow 🙂 🙂 🙂 It begins at 12 30pm BST. There is a beautiful – and extended – White Flowers Meditation translated by Shubamrita or Swamiji, followed by a speech about personal experiences with Amma from one of the brahmacharis / brahmacharinis / ashram residents. Some of these speeches (satsangs) have been incredibly touching and transformative to be part of. The fire of devotional connection with the Guru is actually what I feel most deeply (of anything in my life) and sometimes these speeches communicate the wordless vastness of that surprisingly well. Amma will sing bhajans (devotional songs to the Divine) with her band and there is Arati (the fire ceremony). The whole program is usually about 4 hours. As such, feel free to dip in and out, or even have it on in the background if there is no other choice. You can also watch it on your phone if you are in transit. Simply the energy and consciousness coming through your screen will create healing for you, your home atmosphere and the people around you, I can assure you. 

You need to register, but it is free, as is everything which Amma does because it is always offered as seva (selfless service) :-

Looking forward to seeing you again in a coupe of weeks time at the next Group,

Love,

Free Online Group Healing: Surrendering Separateness

Hello 🙂

How are you?

I am good 🙂 Currently, I am repeating the Vortex Healing class ‘Awakening to Divinity’ and it is Ric Weinman’s Birthday (the Vortex founder and teacher of this class). 

As requested, here is the quote from Neem Karoli Baba (translated by one of his closest devotees), which I read during the last group session. The timing feels so right, because this avatar happens to be Ric’s Guru :-

I am like the wind

No one can hold me

I belong to everyone

No one can own me

The whole world is my home

All are my family

I live in every heart

I will never leave you

The next fortnightly Free Online Group Healing is this Wednesday 7th October at 1pm BST. Here is the link with which to book:-

https://www.wuji-web.uk/daisy

We will gather together to explore surrendering separateness. To explain what I mean by this and to support a broader understanding of the awakening embodiment evolution, I will share something from the class I am currently taking. 

Ric took us through an exceptionally beautiful guided meditation yesterday, while the ‘transmission’ for ‘Awakening to Divinity’ was running through him. If you are wondering what the name of the class means, I hope that my sharing will also go some way to answering that. As I went deeper in meditation, I felt touched by Divinity in such a direct way…that I was brought to tears. Following this, there was suddenly a rushing energetic shift (akin to a shock) throughout my system. Next, panic and terror began to release from within (pertaining to my core conditioning) and that was accompanied by a spontaneous breathing release, and by shaking. As the panic and terror released, I saw that they were at the root of all my other emotions. This embodied perception set me free, completely, from the grip of these other emotions, and also from projection and blame in way that was spontaneous and organic. 

Then came some profound realisations, not as ideas, concepts or insights, but as something far far more real than that. I fell deeper in meditation, to the point where I sensed the remaining separateness inside with total clarity. In this clarity, I recognised that separateness is actually created – from within. I saw how this fictional separateness was animating the conditioning, literally giving it ‘realness’ which it didn’t actually have. 

Not only was the conditioning not real, but the separateness itself (which is much deeper – being the origin point – primary) wasn’t real either. What I was ‘left with’ so-to-speak, was Divinity. Previously, Divinity had still been experienced as somewhat ‘outside’ in a subtle way, for example in Amma. But now it revealed itself as what I am. The appearance of a subtle boundary between ‘inside’ and ‘outside’ dissolved. This was not an experience, it was beyond. There is a totality to Divinity which may be impossible to convey in words. 

Now, I must to bed. See you soon,

Love,

xDaisy
