24.01.2022 Helpful guidelines for helping yourself and others with forming better relationships.

24.01.2022 Message from White Eagle, Hopi indigenous on 03/16/2020: This moment humanity is going through can now be seen as a portal and as a hole. The decision to fal...l into the hole or go through the portal is up to you. If they repent of the problem and consume the news 24 hours a day, with little energy, nervous all the time, with pessimism, they will fall into the hole. But if you take this opportunity to look at yourself, rethink life and death, take care of yourself and others, you will cross the portal. Take care of your home, take care of your body. Connect with the middle body of your spiritual House. Connect to the egregor of your spiritual home. Body, house, medium body, spiritual house, all this is synonymous, that is to say the same. When you are taking care of one, you are taking care of everything else. Do not lose the spiritual dimension of this crisis, have the aspect of the eagle, which from above, sees the whole, sees more widely. There is a social demand in this crisis, but there is also a spiritual demand. The two go hand in hand. Without the social dimension, we fall into fanaticism. But without the spiritual dimension, we fall into pessimism and lack of meaning. You were prepared to go through this crisis. Take your toolbox and use all the tools at your disposal. Learn about resistance with indigenous and African peoples: we have always been and continue to be exterminated. But we still haven't stopped singing, dancing, lighting a fire and having fun. Don't feel guilty about being happy during this difficult time. You don't help at all by being sad and without energy. It helps if good things emanate from the Universe now. It is through joy that one resists. Also, when the storm passes, you will be very important in the reconstruction of this new world. You need to be well and strong. And, for that, there is no other way than to maintain a beautiful, happy and bright vibration. This has nothing to do with alienation. This is a resistance strategy. In shamanism, there is a rite of passage called the quest for vision. You spend a few days alone in the forest, without water, without food, without protection. When you go through this portal, you get a new vision of the world, because you have faced your fears, your difficulties ... This is what is asked of you. Let them take advantage of this time to perform their vision seeking rituals. What world do you want to build for yourself? For now, this is what you can do: serenity in the storm. Calm down and pray. Everyday. Establish a routine to meet the sacred every day. Good things emanate, what you emanate now is the most important thing. And sing, dance, resist through art, joy, faith and love. "Resiste -Renace See more

19.01.2022 From the heart of one of the many Peruvian indigenous families who hold and protect much more than we can know.

18.01.2022 It's no longer survival of the fittest but survival of the most collaborative.

17.01.2022 When was the last time you saw some sort of bird of prey?

17.01.2022 "Research conducted by social psychologist Paul Piff and his colleagues suggests that people who regularly feel awe are more likely to be generous, helpful, alt...ruistic, ethical and relaxed. In one case, people who spent time staring up at the towering eucalypts were more inclined to help someone who had not. In other words, when dwarfed by an experience, we are more likely to look to one another and care for one another and feel more connected." Julia Baird (2020), from "Phosphoresence: On awe, wonder & things that sustain you when the world goes dark."

15.01.2022 "How ya gonna get free this time? Falling into a blue sky mind Came to me in that song my friend I just wanna go back again...

14.01.2022 From one of my favourite teachers. A sweet resource in uncertainty.

14.01.2022 Gathering together we came to learn how to take care of Country and each other and re-member the threads of our shared humanity. Through harvesting wild plants from the land, and stripping away the bark of our busy lives we wove a new way of being together over this 4 days. With a heartfelt intention to reconnect the the strands of our cultures we danced, sung, and crafted this Rope of Reconciliation. Acknowledging Roslyn Malngumba Guyula Liya-dhalinmirr senior Law Keeper f...or the Guyula clan, North-East Arnhem Land and her family Julieanne Gitjpulu, Mark Wuyuyungu and Thomas Wukun Guyula and Simon Rrombu Ganambarr. Please share to support the threads of our cultures to bind together as one Earth Way in service to this Country. gf.me/u/qcpa3d Bukumakku Gurrutu’mirri mala!

12.01.2022 Clear that brain fog with some easy and gentle intro to fasting!? This method of gradual individualised fasting seemed grounded in science and easy to follow. A great intro for many people. Start with only eating within the 8am-6pm window and then work your way up as your body needs. For the past month I'm on a daily 14-16 hour fast (eating before 6 and then breaking my fast with lunch each day) and its been clearing my chronic sinus and giving me heaps of energy. ... *If you have been diagnosed with an eating disorder or have OCD I would seek support from your doctor and therapist first as its not for everyone.

12.01.2022 The Invitation It doesn’t interest me what you do for a living. I want to know... what you ache for and if you dare to dream of meeting your heart’s longing. It doesn’t interest me how old you are. I want to know if you will risk looking like a fool for love for your dream for the adventure of being alive. It doesn’t interest me what planets are squaring your moon... I want to know if you have touched the centre of your own sorrow if you have been opened by life’s betrayals or have become shrivelled and closed from fear of further pain. I want to know if you can sit with pain mine or your own without moving to hide it or fade it or fix it. I want to know if you can be with joy mine or your own if you can dance with wildness and let the ecstasy fill you to the tips of your fingers and toes without cautioning us to be careful to be realistic to remember the limitations of being human. It doesn’t interest me if the story you are telling me is true. I want to know if you can disappoint another to be true to yourself. If you can bear the accusation of betrayal and not betray your own soul. If you can be faithless and therefore trustworthy. I want to know if you can see Beauty even when it is not pretty every day. And if you can source your own life from its presence. I want to know if you can live with failure yours and mine and still stand at the edge of the lake and shout to the silver of the full moon, Yes. It doesn’t interest me to know where you live or how much money you have. I want to know if you can get up after the night of grief and despair weary and bruised to the bone and do what needs to be done to feed the children. It doesn’t interest me who you know or how you came to be here. I want to know if you will stand in the centre of the fire with me and not shrink back. It doesn’t interest me where or what or with whom you have studied. I want to know what sustains you from the inside when all else falls away. I want to know if you can be alone with yourself and if you truly like the company you keep in the empty moments.

12.01.2022 I cannot over-stress the importance of working with a competent, grounded and boundaried psychotherapist if you are wanting to work through deeply embedded issues and traumas. This is absolutely essential and should be put in place before you endeavor to put yourself in the hands of many, if not most, self-proclaimed ‘spiritual healers’. There are many people in the ‘spiritual’ community who are passing themselves off as masters and shamans and they do not have the roots, or... the solidity, or the egoic capacity to hold seekers safe. They are often individuals who have an economic, and/or egoic need to be seen in a particular light (in an effort to escape their own shadow), and they are not qualified to work with deep trauma. The very moment someone calls themselves a ‘master’, you immediately know that they are full of shit. Because if they are that certain of their ‘mastery’, they lack the humble capacity required to hold the space for another’s material, and they will not have the wisdom to know when they have to refer someone out. I am seeing a great many individuals teaching workshops in things they know very little about, and I am seeing many playing with fire (i.e. 'super-cool' ayahuasca practitioners) with no training in working with the trauma material that emerges in their sessions. When I began to explore holotrophic breathwork, I had been in therapy for years. I still had (and, have) more healing to do, but I had enough of a foundation to take good care of myself. If you don’t have that foundation yet, you may well be easily seduced by many of the dissociative practitioners who present themselves as healers. Be super careful, and remember that spiritual healing and yogic soulebrity are now industries, ripe with manipulation and projection. Many who practice in these areas have no regard for your well-being. Be vigilant and surround yourself with those who understand the delicate, and often deadly nature of trauma. Trauma work is no game. No transcendance bypassers, no flaky masters, no artificial forgiveness and pseudo-positivity proponents, no 'New Cage' pain-body 'story' bashers, no name-changing westerners dressed in guru garb. Only solid, integrated, emotionally mature practitioners... ~ JEFF BROWN

02.01.2022 Right now our world moves through a collective trauma response and an initiatory process. 10 things that stand out: 1) It's not "survival of the fittest" resea...rch shows it's actually "survival of the NURTURED" 2) Moving out of Freeze/ Fight/ Flight/ Fawn - to nurture. 3) This is an Initiation we individually face together. Uncertainty is required. 4) Go beyond the endless chatter, in order to have a substantial connection with others and your spirit. 5) Brave Moments and making decisions for yourself. 6) Our "Invincibility Complex" is crumbling, and it's humbling us. 7) Don't shut out your Existential Questions: Invite them in. They've been with you all along. (They hide as fear and panic). 8) Without touch, we are being trained to become sensitive to our relational field, and to the global field. 9) Why we need your natural gifts, your worth and value, regardless of wage/ income. 10) Where is Home? Tending home.
