As I prepare for the journey to Japan on February 14th I have been reflecting on the Workshops that Khakira and I will teach. What is most important to me is that what is taught in the Workshops can be received by those who are attending in a way that serves them in the highest way possible and that they then can offer what they have experienced to others if they choose. I would like each person to have an extraordinary experience and then be able to share this with others.
Sometimes extraordinary experiences are very powerful and you feel like you are in a whirlwind of movement, shift and change. You know something very big and profound is happening. Very often they are subtle, like a fine and exquisite meal or a piece of music or work of art that is hauntingly beautiful and stays with you the rest of your life, adding something indescribable yet profound to your life experience. After this experience you are more than you once were and maybe even more of who you really are. You may only discover this through time and looking back on changes, shifts and movements in your life.
Some teachers are very gifted at providing written and verbal descriptions and frameworks for their teachings. This type of teaching often appeals to technically and scholastically oriented people. These words, descriptions’ and frameworks serve to give our “mental body” a handle that it understands and can feel safe and secure with so that meaning; sense and value can be given to the teachings. This can be valuable. Unfortunately it is often substituted for the “real thing,” which is the “fruit” and the essence of the teaching. Sometimes clever students can find their way from this to the real “thing”.
What I have found is that the description of a “thing” is not the actual thing itself. You can have a description of an apple, a picture of an apple, a history of how an apple grows from a seed to a tree, sprouting leaves, then flowers and the fruit growing and ripening on the tree and the fruit finally harvested and ready to eat. You can have a complete description of everything necessary to nurture and grow an apple tree including soil, fertilizers, watering, proper sunlight and warmth, everything necessary to bring the apple to your hand.
All the words, all the descriptions’ so precious to our mental body, can never convey all that is experienced when you hold the apple in your hand and take your first bite of this fruit you have never tasted before. At this point you really “know” the taste and feel of the apple. It is no longer an idea, but an actual “felt sense,” a knowing from experience that is forever yours.
Our Workshops are more experiential and hands-on learning rather than intellectual explorations and mapping expeditions.
I strongly believe you learn by doing and experiencing rather than hearing, being told or reading about something. Our gift is the ability to transmit the codes, the keys, and the pathways of accessing the ability to actually do what is taught in the Workshop. Without this all the explanations in the world will only give you a mental understanding and no real ability to access the power to really taste, feel and transmit to another the real life, the aliveness, the richness and fullness the workshop is all about.
What you will get in our Workshops is the real thing! You will get the ability to do what the Workshop is about with a minimal of mental body gymnastics and need for mental understanding. This works especially well when we are teaching to people whose native language is not English. You can come to one of our workshops and expect to learn by doing and receiving the keys to open the pathways within yourself that allow you to proficiently and with minimal practicing, offer some extremely powerful and potentially life changing energy work. I invite you to come and taste the fruit and share it with others.
In Light Love & Service
