ATTENTION

12/16/2014

We are alive. The animals are also alive and close to us in many ways. What is the difference between human life and animal life, and how can we use that difference to enhance our lives as individuals and as a species?

There are many things competing for attention. Your attention is precious. It is this knowledge of the magic of attention, that separates us from the animals.

We have the choice to gather and focus our attention, to place it where we will.

Now there is shift. We leave behind the absurdity of what we have learned is real. Now we shift from the illusory to the real. Now we enter into wonder. Now we enter into in appreciation. Now we enter into the sacred.

Where is your attention? Is it possible to reshape your existence by shifting your attention?

Soon is the time when it is traditional to make New Year's resolutions. These are mostly too big for us. They have become a standing joke.

Make a resolution this moment to be as you truly are and inherit this gift that lies behind the agendas of our lives. One breath at a time. Here we really exist.

COLOMBIA TOUR - A DREAM REALISED

12/15/2014

Open Wing has had a highly enjoyable month in Colombia for our workshop tour. Both the workshop on The Fundamentals of Energy and Rallying the Abstract were well supported as were our individual sessions of massage and shamanic healing. The high point for me was delivering the guided dreaming with live musical accompaniment from Malu and Rodrigo and their band and the feedback from those that had an OBE.
From the start collaboration with the musicians was fun and high energy and they quickly got everything I wanted to do. I also recorded several of the guided dreaming with the musicians and these should be available on our website soon!

Whether guiding OBE's, exploration of dreaming gates, chakras and organs or revisiting healing lucid dreams of my own, they are a powerful tool for well-being.

With a small group at Chia we navigated into inner silence together with shamanic movement and Pramayana. It was our first taste of the countryside since we'd arrived, it was a beautiful traditional house and Yoga Sala and a splendid evening.

A good crowd came with us to Sesquilé. We stayed in a comfortable farm house and it's annexe. I always enjoy residential workshops, especially when the food is prepared as well as eaten by attendees.

After an invigorating morning session we hiked into the hills to see the Muisca, indigenous people that have been reclaiming their culture that had all but been taken away from them by Colonisation. It was great to see them celebrate their culture and share it with us. Although it had rained most of the morning before we said goodbye the weather changed and we were able to walk down in the sun.

After a RAW lunch Ena and I shared a presentation on Nutrition and Energy, and a guided exploration of the digestive tract, followed by another session of RAW food preparation. The RAW pasta was delicious!

Another seven people joined us and were richly rewarded by a practice and a dinner that included home made RAW brownies.

On our third day, after breakfast and the morning session we drove, then hiked to the sacred Laguna Guatavita. It was well worth the trek. The lake is both an amazing geographical wonder and a place of power.

On the hike we found a clearing in the forest and entered into an impromptu inner silence session. We were all deeply touched by our experience together.

After a RAW lunch we went into the closing session. It was really touching as everyone recapitulated our activities in Colombia and shared their experience with the group.

The ancient teachings and practices of shamans and yogis that Open Wing presents in our modern world enable us to potentiate and enjoy richer lives, they were appreciated by all who joined us, as was obvious by their warm and heartfelt responses.

Open Wing is very grateful for the response to their tour and treatments. We intend sharing more of our work when we return next year.

INNATE KNOWLEDGE

12/7/2014

0 Comments

Many have walked this path of self-discovery, people from all over the world. This knowledge though arising and husbanded in many cultures is cross-cultural and innate to us all. Lineages have arisen that have seen the value of this knowledge and developed techniques to bring it out. Many of them have opened up to membership to all who truly aspire to know at this time.
True knowledge is simple. It is the experience of being. It is self-fulfilled in the moment. It desires nothing. It is at rest. Yet from this rest comes a readiness, a particular alertness and willingness an acquiescence, to walk our path.

From this place of silence comes new thought, creative thought, new strategies. The mind is aligned with its source and expresses that source in its own particular way.
Knowledge is a journey that leads nowhere. It's goal is here now, not in a future, where a particular set of circumstances are realised. It is in the simple immersion in the moment. It takes courage and deep trust to give ourselves to that silence, to this moment in acquiescence. It is in itself a death. I truly believe that only by a constant resetting of ourself in the moment can we fulfil ourselves and that on every level. Come into yourself. Feel your breath, this delivery of existence and bask in it.
We cannot silence the questioner, our mind, by answering its specific enquirers. It's questions are endless. No, there is another way. Allow the cessation of thought and here you will find your answers even to questions that you previously couldn't formulate. Here is your transformation, the recognition of the magical being you are and have always been.
Act as you will in the moment not just from your learnings and projections, but directly from your alignment with what is. This alignment will use and focus every attribute and fulfil your endeavour.
You are unique, you are beautiful, revel in your existence, court it, love it and enjoy it.
