Merry Christmas :-) 

Hello 🙂

I would like to wish you a very Merry Christmas and a Happy Winter Solstice for tomorrow 🙂 I hope you are enjoying the festive season as much as I am 🙂 If you live in London, I cannot recommend highly enough the current Marina Abramovic exhibition at The Royal Academy of Arts. If you do nothing else this season, it is a must-see. I am left feeling that she may be the most brave, significant and gifted modern artist of all time. There are no words for the exquisite nature of what she has created over so many years……. I can only tell you that I have been deeply impacted by it. Please go with someone who you feel will enjoy this with you, rather than alone, as you might need to silently connect with them or talk about what you see. I also feel to add a gentle warning: please don’t go if you are depressed or worse than depressed. It is on until the 31st Dec 2023.

The upcoming Free Online Group Healing is on Friday 29th December @ 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 :-

Yes, I am offering in-person private sessions here 🙂 If you live within London tube Zones 1 or 2, I will come to your home. The price is £100 and you can pay via bank transfer, PayPal or cash before the start time of your session. Please contact me via WhatsApp or Telegram to book. I am in London until the 15th Jan 2024, at which time I will fly to Amma in India. 

Please be aware that once I arrive in Amritapuri, I will be taking time to focus solely on Amma and God-realisation. This will be for at least 3 weeks, possibly more, so please plan your sessions and Groups accordingly for before that time. You can book online private sessions via the usual link :-

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.

One of you has created an amazing podcast which I am delighted to share with the rest of you 🙂 It is from Abla El-Sharnouby and is titled, ‘Altered Fates’. It is about turning points and how we choose to navigate them: moments in our lives where events conspired to propel us forward. It’s available in the usual places such as Spotify and Apple Podcasts :-

Finally, I leave you with these moving words from a close friend and long-time Amma devotee: “It’s hard to let Her love in, but sometimes we get a glimpse and it makes our lives safe forever.”

Love,

Free Online Group Healings are back on :-)  

Hello 🙂

How are you? 

Yes, the Free Online Group Healings are back on each fortnight 🙂 🙂 🙂 Let’s come together again to water the seeds of faith, optimism and surrender, so that the heart can breathe again. Although each Group Healing will have a specific focus, they are also an opportunity to rest and to soak up the nectar of  the Divine practices you have been engaging in. Here, Divinity creates a space of softness and tenderness to heal, allowing many levels of intimate sharing to unfold – without pressure. 

The first of these is on the 6th October at the usual time of 1pm (Lisbon time is the same as London time). Here is the link to book your place :-

Please note that nothing changes with online private sessions here in Portugal. You can book via the usual link :-

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 would like to end with a reminder that Truth lives in our bodies. It feels like an opening and it lands in our systems like a remembering. 

Love,

In Wild Heaven 

Hello 🙂

How are you? 

I am great 🙂 Being here with a direct physical incarnation of Divinity, living in harmony with nature,  people and animals and having an awakening focus to everything each day, feels like wild heaven… In fact, I heard a wonderful song of similar name on the plane jukebox flying here: R.E.M’s ‘Near Wild Heaven’. 

It occurs to me that the more we willingly relinquish in favour of Truth, Reality, unconditioned Love – the happier we are. Or at least, the happier we end up: it can involve a process, sometimes a rather long one – lol! I believe this is also why Amma recommends seva (selfless service) as the primary awakening practice for all her devotees. In the deepest place within, it quite simply makes a human being happiest to serve without personal gain. 

My friends and I have been sharing that it is actually difficult to do paid work here at the ashram, because one feels as if going against a great tide…as if, in the very air and atmosphere of Amritapuri, this dharma is flowing.  

As such, I have settled on a new schedule for Private Sessions while I am here with Amma. I have not yet settled on the same for the Groups, I am still feeling into that and patiently awaiting intuition. Therefore, for now I have cancelled all existing Group Healings, so please note this. 

I will be available for one Private Session per day on Zoom in the usual way, but for 7 days per week. Sessions will be at 2 30pm IST (9am GMT) each day. This begins on the 17th February. As a  reminder, I am returning to London on the 12th April and will adjust my availability accordingly at that time. Apologies if any of this is an inconvenience you. 

Here is the link to book Private Sessions (NB any which have been previously booked will not be affected and will go ahead) :-

I would like to share a couple of short points, from things I have learned by listening to the satsangs and my experiences here. 

One aspect of compassion is viewing all experiences which come to us – the good, the bad and the ugly – as gifts from God. When this attitude becomes true and real, the mind immediately becomes tranquil. 

Something crucial I find about Darshan with Amma, in particular when asking a question, is that – whatever I bring – Amma consistently responds with such a relaxed feeling and way about Her. It makes me feel that, if Amma is so relaxed about this, perhaps I can relax about it too. That is one of the greatest gifts Amma has given me over the course of my lifetime (and possibly many lifetimes – who knows?). 

One devotee shared a very beautiful thing which Amma once said : “At the end of our days on this earth, after all our successes and failures, the measure of our life will be how much we have loved” ~ Amma

Free Online Group Healing : this Wed 30th Nov

Hello 🙂

If you would like to attend the next Free Online Group Healing, it is this Wed 30th Nov @ 1pm GMT. NB: please attend only if you can remain on Zoom for the duration (1hr). Here is the link you need for booking :-

Please note that you need to pre-book. You can also book as many Groups as you like in advance. 

For Private Sessions here is the link. You will receive an email (or text if you request this when booking) with which you can rearrange or cancel up to 24hrs before the start time :- 

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 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,

xDaisy
