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 Wednesday :-) 

Hello 🙂

How are you?

Have you noticed there is a vast feeling of space everywhere, at all times and in all situations..? It is a grand Silence, relatable to the feeling of walking into a cathedral or huge art-deco ballroom. It is both ‘inside’ and ‘outside’. It’s as if Eternity is rising to greet the mind with a welcoming happy glance. Often the mind says, No [insert excuses], which is fine and the vast space remains totally undisturbed. There is something beautifully non-negotiable about it…we just cannot bargain with what is. What is, is never part of that game: the game of being “in business with life” as Tony Parsons has so wonderfully described it. That belongs to a completely different landscape, a level upon which the real doesn’t dance its dance. The real can easily disguise itself inside one of the dancers, but it does not itself devote to that kind of manipulation. All forcing, beguiling and making deals ends with the dawning of unconditional Love, which is perhaps the culmination of this vast space. 

It’s a funny thing that the unreal never is or was real, so why do we all pretend for so many painful years that it is? Eventually of course, death comes and immediately exposes the mythology upon which we have laid our fantasies; what we may even have termed “our lives”. Maybe all the while, Divinity is asking, hinting, “Why wait?” The freedom we crave is fully available right now. And only, ever and always now.

Somehow, I am reminded here of something Amma once said :-

“When there is true Love, anything is effortless”

Like almost everything Amma says, the sheer simplicity of it is sort-of finalising: it has a finality to it, daring the ego to stop…..dead………..check-mate.

If you would like to attend the next Free Online Group Healing, it is happening this Wednesday 1st June @ 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 with me, here is the link. You will receive an email (or text if you request this when booking) with which you can rearrange or cancel your session up to 24hrs before the start time, if you wish :- 

I request that you never contact me about rearranging, cancelling or scheduling : instead, simply utilise the email sent to you by Calendly for this very purpose. It may end up in your spam / junk box, so please check.

Please also note that lateness, no-showing, cancelling / rearranging less than 24 hrs in advance of the session time will result in you being charged in full for that session. Thank you 🙂 

Lastly today, you might enjoy this track from Massive Attack. It is one of those songs which everyone in my generation in England would have at least heard (if not, partially grown up on) during their teenage years. Aside from a multiverse of enthused comments I could make about it, I will say that there is something wonderfully wistful about it… And the timbre of the aural landscape gives the chance for expanse, opening, relaxation. Enjoy 🙂 

Love,
