Deepening in Divinity

Hello 🙂

The next Free Online Group Healing is this Friday 16th May @ 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 🙏

I would like to share something from the Q&A discussion during the last Group Healing. I loved this so much when one of you said it, that I requested it in written form afterwards. “The quote (as I remember from a few years back) was spoken by Yong Oh, a teacher at the Durango Dharma Center: “I’ve learned to love all of my karma, the good and the bad.” The phrasing may be simple, but living from that truth is hard!”

As many of you know, I attended the recent in-person Deepening in Divinity class in Wakefield, MA. I am honestly still speechless about it… The only comment I can make, is that it has transformed my system and my life on every level I am aware of (and probably also those I am not aware of). The gratitude I feel for the Grace we all received from Merlin remains raw, tender, precious… Whenever I sit down and contemplate it, tears come to my eyes.

During the class, we were also gifted one night with the presence of a talented kirtan artist who used to play with Krishna Das, called Shubal. He recounted a Darshan he had once had with Amma. During it, he asked Her, “What can I do about my addictions?” Amma responded by explaining that his addictions were like a comb for a bald head. She went on to say, “The medicine for your illness lies in the space between your thoughts.”

I will leave you with this today. Divinity is not a perspective. It’s way beyond that. It is so much deeper and fuller… It’s that which is holding all perspectives, all positions, all experiences – everything. It’s That.

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,

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,

xDaisy

Free Online Group Healing : Tomorrow

Hello 🙂

Often when I am preparing for the Group, I will read something which spontaneously makes me burst into tears. Perhaps the Divine arranges it this way so I don’t cry the whole way through the Group – lol! Because they are certainly worthy of that: the courage and the tenderness and love which run like threads through all these Groups are stunning. Plus, being as an emotional a being as I am (yet also so very guarded at the same time) often gives me the sensation that I could burst like this at any moment. Or perhaps it is the purity of life which does this to me. The purity and the joy and the pain and the suffering – all of it. Don’t you feel that being alive is the most amazing adventure? We never know what is coming next or how anything will be or look. It’s like life is continuously arising to greet itself, without any preconceived notions or pattern. I find that happy chaos very nourishing. Sometimes it is expressed well in free jazz.

Anyway, one such thing which brought on those tears was reading this observation by Rupert Spira :-

“The greatest discovery in life is to discover that our essential nature does not share the limits nor the destiny of the body and mind”

If you would like to attend the next Free Online Group Healing, it is happening tomorrow Wed 18th May @ 1pm GMT. NB: please attend only if you can remain on Zoom for the duration (1hr). Here is the link you need for booking :-

As a closing note today, I would like to share this short video of Adyashanti in conversation with Loch Kelly :-
