Hello 🙂
How are you?
I am well here in Portugal 🙂 The next Free Online Group Healing is this Friday 27th September – also Amma’s Birthday! – @ 1pm Lisbon / 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 🙏
Online private sessions continue as usual from here in Portugal :-
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 want to say how much I enjoy acknowledging the creative achievements of my clients 🙂 I consider them immensely brave and risk-taking and I see how daunting it is to enter this world as an artist. I think that’s perhaps having grown up amidst the peaks and troughs of my parents’ careers in the golden age of advertising. To continue in the vein of my last newsletter, I wanted to send you this link to Laxmi Hariharan’s new book [NB: her pen name is different] :-

By request from the last Group Healing, I am sharing the awakening which happened this year during The Magical Jewel class :-
There was a meditation in which Ric Weinman asked the class to “use the world as the mantra”. All-of-a-sudden, for some unknown reason, I recognised immediately what was being pointed to. It was as if whatever Ric was instructing, I was able to sense both what he was talking about and where he was saying it from. So when the aforementioned words were spoken, I burst into tears and my breathing completely changed in seeing this : the world itself IS Divinity.
Everything began to ‘become’ this beauty…and I couldn’t contain it. My body could not contain the revelation of that because of the depth it reached. Simultaneously, there was a sense of ‘this is the missing piece of the puzzle. This is what I always longed to admit to myself and to surrender to.’ I began more and more to perceive this true beauty and it broke my heart completely… Then the crying and the breathing really exploded even more and my body was breaking apart and melting away into That. I could see that every single thing was as-if being birthed by Divinity as its own Self. There was no longer any subject / object though : it was as if the world was the Divine in a complete and total way. The gratitude to perceive it all and the inherent joy of the world was totally overwhelming……… The beauty was so exquisite that I couldn’t contain in my body what I was feeling and so everything broke, again and again… The insights which were coming in were impossible to record mentally, but it was like a flow throughout the being. When I would pray to Amma, it was like She was melted into the world.
I was shocked by two things : first of all, how could I have missed this? And secondly, how could I think that anything which had happened was bad or wrong? Then I started to feel this remorse about the things I had said about people or done or thought and I began to say sorry via inner prayer profusely. But when I said sorry, there was this benevolence and Love which met the apologies and were pouring over those “wrongdoings” like a kind of fluid of Love – yet beyond Love. Perhaps it was similar to what Adyashanti calls Redemptive Love. There was this profound sense of redemption of everything I had “done wrong” – and for everyone else too. I couldn’t believe I had ever thought someone had wronged me. That whole sense was completely gone……..and I saw that there was absolutely no truth in it. How foolish I had been not to see that no-one could ever do that and I could never do that. Everything was ‘forgiven’ so-to-speak, and then it was noticed that there was actually an inherent sense of forgiveness in the world itself. The world was forgiving everyone that was doing these things, including even me. And this was the overriding revelation : that the world itself is Divinity. There was no ‘Divine coming into creation’, there were no two different things happening, even though the Divine was birthing the world. At another time, this would have seemed like a paradox, yet there was no sense of paradox. All I could do, was to bow down in front of this beauty… Although there was no subject / object or anything like that, there was a bowing down in true reverence for what was being seen.
There was an in-loveness with life, yet with everything being the same thing there wasn’t any neediness, attachment or drama. There were also no exceptions being made to this Loving : it was a total and utter thing. It didn’t make exceptions for this person or that person. I was praying, “Let me not forget this. Let me live from this, instead of going back to the old way of acting out and getting into dramas.” I was almost begging, “Let me not forget what I’ve seen. Let me live this now.” Simultaneously, strangely enough, there was such a stillness and a resting and a Silence. It was a recognition of what life actually is and how much I love it. It took me out of this ‘trying to get something from life’ and ending up eventually in despair, which was replaced with, ‘of course I love life!’ There was a distinct returning. It was a return to this absolute love of the world, this total Love…for no reason and with no agenda. From That, naturally arose tender celebration.
Love,
xDaisy
