Embodying Our Power

July 7, 2010

You cannot do anything unless you have the energy for it.

That’s such an obvious statement. You feel that you know what it means and yet you also realise that it says very little. There’s such a big wide-open space waiting, calling for your skill and understanding to land the latest spark of genius in it. That spark is mighty tricky. It hovers at the edge of recognition and then winks out again, compelling you to retrace your steps to find other words, other concepts that better fit your inspiration of what you want to say.

And there is so much to say about energy and the experience of embodying our power. Our power though is not based solely around a sensitivity to energy. To feel energy, to experience vitality, is only one way to talk about embodiment. Embodiment is about decision making, intelligence, physical relatedness, collective consciousness, and our understanding of what it is to be here. We need to take charge of and be responsible for everything that we are about. Decide what we are here for and then embody that in a powerful way.

Conscious embodiment allows us to let go of personal roles and a conformity to what doesn’t apply to us: it allows us to create ourselves newly. Questions such as  “Who am I?” become completely irrelevant. “Who am I?“  is often echoed when people transition through an energy shift or are not clear on how to remake their lives. Here is what I offered to my beautiful friend Lisbeth, when she asked for advice on how she could understand herself better.

An even better question, I said to her, is “What level of work should I focus on next?“.  For it’s really a matter of choosing something that’s important to you and then getting on with it.

So my advice is  -

1. Know that you are incredibly gifted in sensing and relating to energy, in ways that can benefit others.
2. Feel that energy inside you all the time, able to be utilised at a moment’s notice.
3. Find a focus for that energy on a daily basis.
4. See that you are a front-runner of energetic mastery for a whole new generation of people, coming awake to themselves and their place in the world.
5. Weave the power of that knowing into everything that you do.
6. Each day wake up to yourself as a new expression of all that you stand for.
7. Love who you are being in every possible way; align the whole of your life with your power; and glorify everyone that you meet – simply by being you.

As you read this, you will of course have your own ideas of what it is to embody power. You might pick over the words but you’ll have some general direction of where to take all of this.

It’s important to me that we lead our lives in an energetically masterful way, doing whatever is appropriate in alignment with the feelings that are evoked in us. But I’ve come to see that the knowing of what we stand for and the declaration of what we embody, is always there, whether we feel the energy of it or not. So I have to revise my opening statement to take account of that.

Once you have the energy for / of something then you literally know all there is to know about it, either because you are sourcing the intelligence of it or because you have an intimate relationship with energy. But also, once you make a declaration of what you wish to embody then you are the living embodiment of that, even when you can no longer feel the initial surges of what you thought would stay in place forever. What does stay is the commitment for being brilliant and the ability to know that whatever happens – however things look – you are the power of it in action, and therefore you get the say in how it all turns out.

Summer of Fun

July 2, 2010

The weather in the South of England is gloriously hot and seems ready to stay that way for the rest of the summer. So shades on, cover up well if you’re sun sensitive, and set up the garden gazebo – for it’s time to get out and play.

I’ve noticed over the past few months a growing desire for dancing, my body suggesting that it likes to explore rhythm and movement. So Soleira and I signed up for Salsa lessons, and I practice away early in the morning and  just before bed.

Fun is sure on my mind. Let’s have fun. At the end of a recent teleclass, I was impelled to tell someone to get out onto the streets and have a party. You know, along the lines of the T-Mobile ads, where a big group of people spontaneously (orchestrated) burst into action. [see below]

A summer of fun is definitely brewing and now … here is my contribution to edge it along. So sing along in your best disco party voice, and see if you have the energy to jiggle for several rounds of it.

“Take To The Streets”

Dance, dance, don’t wait for a chance – to show us all your moves!

Dance, dance, without a glance to see if we’re in the groove.

For when you’re on fire and a sparkling

And your hips are a jiggling and shaking

Then there’s nothing can stop you from having

The most fabulous time of your life.


So take to the streets, and show us the beat,

That sets our bodies a moving,

And show us your power

On the beat every hour

Cos’ we’re here for the whole of the night …

Cos’ we’re here for the rest of our life.

YEAH!!!!! YEAH!!!!!! YEAH!!!!! YEAH!!!!!

Being Here

June 6, 2010

The June 4th NASA Science News article starts with “The sun is waking up from a deep slumber … higher levels of solar activity are predicted”. No kidding. Coincidentally on that date, my head seemed to be burning with the fire of the sun for at least 24 hours.

Yes, it’s been an interesting week of some amazing highs and some intense energy hits. And weaved around the experiences in there have been some incredible conversations about the nature of being. It’s easy to know that we are amazing powerful beings but (from a human perspective) that has to be backed up by our experiences of living that: not wishes, dreams or desires, but the living actuality that we are who we claim we are, right here and right now. Having ‘control’ of our life.

Sometimes that can be tricky trying to substantiate, especially when the fantastic energy high of one day seemingly peters out during the night. So you have to figure out exactly what is changing, align with the change, and realise that your orientation makes the difference to your experience of being here. In any energy exchange, transformation takes place, so we can choose the story of what the transformation is all about.

So here’s my story about my June 4th experience. I had been reading Robert J. Sawyer’s fascinating book “Watch”, which deals with a blind girl who is given sight in her left eye through a retinal implant, and who is also then able to experience the digital data streams of the World Wide Web as an evolving intelligence.

As I interacted with the storyline, it occurred to me that I could consciously track multiple streams of information simultaneously. That is something that I know I do non-physically but it’s not been my conscious physical experience to date. So having had the thought of the possibility I went into the experience of the actuality. Ouch!! Overload!

Well it’s just my interpretation of an energy experience but it gave me insight into an exciting exploration of ‘what if’ possibilities. I know that we know how to be vastly expansive: that our singular experience of ourselves effectively rejoins with collective consciousness at some point in our knowing. We know that we live here on a planet in our human bodies but we also know that we live in the vastness of everything. So being here is not a statement of place but a confirmation of what is.

Anyway, just to reassure my friends who read this blog and think that they are sometimes losing it, here are some guidelines to help us enjoy “being here”  …

1. The most important thing is to enjoy the experience -
2. and remember that you/we create the experience -
3. so love what you create and choose only that which really calls to you.

‘Being Here’ is more than an earthly paradise that we’ve dreamed about inhabiting. ‘Being Here’ is an awareness of the Cosmos and our myriad relationships with it; an awareness of this planet and our myriad relationships created here, that births the consciousness of new possibilities; an awareness of our physicality and our myriad relationships with life.

‘Being Here’ requires us to pull upon more of our vastness, and implement strategies that bring greater vitality into being. When we feel that the vastness of ourselves is not present then we must know what that means; must understand what to do next; and must know that there is no separation – for separation is not who we are or what’s so.

We are required to create with power, dignity, and delicious care so that every being is welcomed by us in the time that we spend together here. ‘Being Here’ requires focus – but being here is everything. You can’t be an amazing being in this amazing place without giving it all that you’ve got – and knowing that there’s more to come!

Even Better Than

May 24, 2010

I realise that I’m back in that wonderful space of when I was a kid.

Experiencing again a carefree delight in everything, feeling the ginormous length of the summer blossom out ahead of me, loving the excursions into the countryside, and exulting in the glorious beauty of youth with the promises of lush experiences still to come.

Actually my days now are even better than the first flush of youth. In this second spell of youth I have many friends, spread across the world, that I celebrate a strong connection with. Not just casual contacts but people that I love and deeply care about.

Over the intervening years I’ve grown an ever-deepening love for life.

I feel cherished, loved and supported – seen, respected and understood – in ways that I never experienced as a child. I’ve come to appreciate that being open to others produces remarkable and wonderful changes in them and in me. And the delight I experience, in witnessing the graceful transformation of those that I love, somehow releases me to live at my own pace with no count of the days ahead.

In truth, I think that the world has undergone a release. The serious and significant phase of humanity, tight-lipped and enduring, has gradually been fading throughout my life. A new freshness has risen in those of us who have dared to hold out for something better, brighter, and more lasting than what we thought was the fragrant beauty of life.

We have added colour, originality, and the masterful strokes of our own creative outpourings, to say and declare that this now is the life worth living. And the powerful force that erupts within us takes us beyond any childhood memories to establish a new beginning, a new centrepoint for childhood, where beauty is continually revered and revealed, where the sharing of wisdom is our delight.

To have such depth of feeling was not available in my first youth. I didn’t know then what I was saying “yes” to. But now I do – boldly, enthusiastically, and with no holding back – I’m saying “yes” to something coming that’s even better than anything I ever dreamt could possibly be.

Wildly Creative Play

April 12, 2010

It was April 10th, a few days ago. The sun shone. We set up a big table on the patio and tumbled outside with our paints, crayons, oils, paper and an assortment of creative art materials.
Our Wildly Creative party day had arrived.

My wife had sent emails to friends in Canada, Austria, the US, the UK, Australia, New Zealand, Singapore … suggesting they host their own creative party. The vision was that we share our creativity and fun, by sending a consciousness wave of ecstatic delight around the world.

I managed to video some of our event – the video clip below gives a taste of what it was like.  Yet I can’t fully describe the irresistable pull that drew me to the arts table. I’ve never sensed anything like it. Something in me wanted to be deeply involved: playing with paints, making an avatar, trying my skill at collage. I could feel the creativity – not just from the people but from an intense feeling in me to want to sit down with them and create. They created an energy field of active creative participation.

After my stint with the videocam I sat at the table and was given some tips on how to paint.

Painting is an undeveloped skill in me, so I wanted to see what I could do. I used basic principles -

• that you instinctively select the right colours
• that you allow the creative energy that dances in you to direct your movements
• that you allow patterns to emerge naturally and experiment with them in a light-hearted way
• that you learn by noting what is being created and let it stand on its own merits.

Here is my paper plate dragon: my first foray with paints since forever.

I acknowledge the magical spell of creativity that assisted with this. So be warned – if you’ve ever wondered where the creative urge, the desire to start something new comes from, then now you know – it comes from all of us!  And that’s the power that we’re sending all around the world every day.

When you get into the spirit of play then you see all kinds of references to it. Here is one that I’ve just come across: using kid’s toys to solve grown-up problems.

“The laboratory is basically a glorified playroom,” says Jeremy Levy, physics professor at the University of Pittsburgh. “When we do experiments, it is a highly advanced form of play…we’re exploring new things.”

Decisions

January 31, 2010

My good friend, Erika Harris, posted an insightful entry on her blog recently entitled “Got a decision to make? This might help.” She had a dream in which she was presented with 3 paths or choices and she discovered that, as she walked along any of the paths, her walking would light up that path.

She concluded that there are no wrong turns or bad decisions.

Her article set me thinking along several lines of thought.

1. That in the true nature of our being there is no need for regret of presumed wrong turns.
2. That in the true nature of our being we never make mistakes or wrong decisions.
3. That we already chose outcomes for ourselves regardless of any decision we appear to make.
4. That in order to live fully here, we need to commit to living the true nature of our being.

What then, you might ask, is the true nature of our being?

I knew you’d ask that question. It’s what I’d ask too. So, what the heck – here goes!

The true nature of our being is that undeniable force of consciousness that says “What you really want is already here – so accept it. Who you want to be is already here – so be it. What you seek to create is already being created – so enjoy it.” Or something along those lines. It’s what we know to be true as we surrender everything that we believe we are and all that we are about.

So if there are no wrong turns or bad judgments then do we need to make decisions at all?

My feeling is that decision-making is not a thought based action – it’s more like allowing ourselves to have fun, to do whatever we feel called to, dancing in the power of what wants to happen. Perhaps, as Erika observed, it’s more about following the fun and being light with the steps that we take. Wherever we go is into unimaginable territory where we must allow ourselves to feel the rightness of every step we take. Wherever we go is into the realm of the infinitely expansive – and every step is completely liberating.

My friend Kerim has this to say about making choices “it is all coming straight this way, and all I have to do is loosen a little bit, honour where I am, and let it come in the time that it will.”

To which I add ~ let’s just enjoy and explore what we do as we co-create amazing things in our time together.

Shaping the being

January 11, 2010

Yep, that’s me, just getting the base ready for my snowman. I had to wait until the snow had enough consistency so that I could roll it and shape it. Just like building a sandcastle – you need the right mix of water for the structure to hold and take shape.

Soleira couldn’t be tempted out of the house. Too cold, she said. Wrap up well, said I. I’m fine here, she replied, snapping photos through my office window.

I did have a wild thought that we might have a snow-fight, but then, I’m the adventurous lets-build-a-snowman one and she is the I’ll stay-by-the-fire one.

Still, I had a lot of fun out there. It was just too tempting. I hadn’t messed around in snow since my army days in Norway over 30 years ago. But that’s another story.

My snowman building had a purpose to it. I was drawn outside for a good reason – and that was to physically shape something with my hands.

I’ve been working on my physicality for a long time. I’ve focused on reshaping my physical experience of life. I’ve allowed my once muscular build to be replaced by a more graceful athleticism and suppleness. Yes, I’ve watched the transformation with interest, not concern, simply allowing desired changes to occur, and now I’m working upon heightening my feelings for life.

I know it’s possible for me to be in a state of joy and for my friends to feel the resonance of that, even on the other side of the world. I’m at work on creating the physical delight of life as an energy-conscious experience, rather than another day of slugging it out.

It’s not about interpretation – it’s about physically aligning our beingness to the quality of living that we wish to embody.

Can you literally create life with the essence of joy in every cell fully active?

I leave the question for others to ponder, for I have my answer.

But back to that snowman. When he was finished, I found that my hands automatically started to smooth off the excess snow. I wanted him to have a crafted finish. Nothing more than that.

I’m fascinated by how much I’ve changed my awareness of how I work. At one time, I would have breathed life into my creations, thinking that they were created as inanimate. But now I see that life exists in every moment, in every action. And that the quality of that life is being shaped by every wisp of consciousness.

So here’s to the building of more snowmen and to the conscious shaping of our lives!!!

A Stunning Reality (3)

December 30, 2009

“We are not the legacy of separate races that span time and space – we are magical beings, exquisite creations, that collectively are one being. And in the space where we radiate we see the design of magical reality.” – Santari

The recent movie “Avatar” creates a spectacular realism of an other-worldly culture, courtesy of digital animation. The story revolves around the ability to genetically create a life form and then transfer consciousness to it. In a sense that’s what happens in virtual reality games, where a gamer can be so engrossed in the game that he/she is the avatar that they control.

Besides the awe-inspiring capacity to involve people in the scenic beauty of the film, the power of “Avatar” is in the grace and courage of the native people, known as the Na’vi. Through them we are shown how to access information from other species and learn how to commune with their planet. Perhaps not new ideas but the way in which this is done draws us into their reality – and to us it is a magical reality filled with magical beings.

The question that many people ask after experiencing magical reality is how can they live it full-on, thinking that there is some point at which ‘normal’ reality takes over, believing that they are not magical beings themselves and therefore not capable of generating that reality.

The truth is that we can live many different realities, dexterously moving between them with complete ease. What is ‘magical’ to one person may be ‘normal’ to another.  Likewise, what is ‘miraculous’ may also be viewed as ‘normal’. It’s why travel has such tremendous appeal – a change of location, meeting new people, having new experiences – all creates an ambience of excitement and adventure, necessary for growth. The desire for change makes perfect sense in our daily lives. So why not, I say to myself, generate a reality of our conscious choosing, a reality perhaps in which we view everything and everyone as magically supranormal.

All we need to do is to change the standards by which we experience reality. We know the realm of the breath-taking and awe-inspiring. We’ve experienced it through dreams, viewed it in stunning movies like “Avatar”, and read of it through visionary writings such as “Lord of the Rings”.

Something in us is inspired from the connection: something is stirred.

This realm of the magical and enchanted contains essential characteristics that deeply move us.

Moved, you ask – what is moved? It’s in the resonance, I say. The language of the magical evokes openness and connection. Shakes the core in such a way that we must surrender to the intimate contact. It’s in the pulsebeat of total acceptance of ourselves that we get to know others. And what is also stirred is the freedom now to invent ourselves in any way we choose.

As we choose to accept the magicalness, we feel a total kinship with all beings and automatically generate magical reality design in the most profound ways possible, excited by what is to come.

It’s clear to me that the nature of reality is a dynamic exchange of energy that involves and affects everything. We decide how much we wish to expand and increase our awareness of the interactions that take place. We generate the field of resonance in which the beauty of life is exemplified. It is for us to choose what we delight in and how we master the Art of Living in physical form. The delight is in every decision that we make and in every action that we take.

Here’s to a stunning reality for all throughout 2010 … and beyond.

A Stunning Reality (2)

December 29, 2009

Revelations

Years ago I heard about the work of  Dr Masaru Emoto and and read his book, “The Hidden Messages in Water”. Perhaps, like many others, I was most struck by the correlation between an intention and the formation of water crystals that expressed that intention, in terms of discernible patterns.

My own thinking then was that water had consciousness. Whether we give water consciousness or not is not in question. But from my experience, it’s clear that we affect everything with our thoughts, emotions, and with all of our being. Our intentions imbue our world with patterns of our awareness. So the more conscious and aware we are then the more conscious and aware does everything else become. Our collective field fills with the power of what we express.

We may speak of morphic resonance, but it’s also true to say that this is a time when all is in bloom. Inner worlds meeting outer cosmoses, intertwining within the space and breadth of our own visions. And the holding of separate realities literally fades away, to allow for a unified reality that we consciously radiate and share.

It’s not that we need to remove anything from what already exists – it’s more about developing a right (aligned) relationship with it (with people, animals, plants, machines, water, planets, stars, etc.), encouraging the most empowering reality in which it all sings, in which everything flourishes.

We may look out to the vastness of the universes but we’re also connected to inner realms of exquisite magicalness. With a sense of limitlessness throughout it all -  a sense that we are eternal and immortal, that we breathe the power of inner and outer connections – allow a supercontinuity of the expression of life to develop – realising that everything naturally flows in perfect unity.

Vision of Possibilities

If we live for a vision of possibilities beyond our individual self then we realise that the idea of an individual self ceases to exist … a collective self predominates. This sense of a collective self is an expression of all our power. There is no personal power as such, but there is Power that is jubilation and celebration. The power of being connected to all things, in all ways, a superconnected fluency that spans physical and non-physical. The vision of this is only an expression of what we can be aware of and step into and become.

Though our human language is taken apart, our identities disassembled, our understandings of time and space remade – we know that we are living our future vision of what we desire, and we adjust accordingly. And vision is what spurs our growth.

Instant Here & Now

In the instant here and now, we simply be all that we are – and grow accordingly. Knowing that there is no need to hold back upon any aspect of who we are and wish to become.

In the instant here and now, our usage of time and space is vastly different from our human perspective. Now is allowing, not witholding or denying or suppressing. Here is facing the moment of change and surrendering all that we think we are (and have created), in order to take full responsibility for being here, and deciding that we are going to enjoy the experience to its fullest, by celebrating and enhancing the quality of life.

Any signals that we generate/receive are the signals of this moment, to be dealt with in the context of this moment. And in any moment, we can uncreate what has been to allow new creations to take form, expressing what now wishes to be gifted. For Life is the joy of giving and receiving, forever and now.

A Stunning Reality

December 28, 2009




There is a correlation (I feel) between our thinking, our feelings, our physicality and our energy field. It’s a network of complex energy movement that we use to generate reality. Here is my brief overview of how it works, in preparation for a teleclass of the same name ( A Stunning Reality) in 2010.

The Spirit of Enquiry

About 20 years ago I wanted to know if it was possible to feel the flow of energy through a human body – so I registered for Shiatsu courses and learned about holistic massage. Then my enquiring nature wanted to know about crystals: how to communicate with them and understand other forms of life. Later I wanted proof that intelligent life existed in non-physical form: that I could feel the energy touch of the non-physical and could communicate telepathically with seemingly invisible beings.

Of course I was successful in all these endeavours. I got many insights into how to live differently – how I could create my life consciously. One of my most important decisions was to let go of being a human being living on a planet called Earth. I found that when I challenged that thought of who I was being, I was able to consciously orchestrate my life in a different way. I could create a new and more appropriate and powerful knowing of myself. I was freed from having to adjust to a construct – a reality – not of my making.

Power is in our ability to choose … the ability to define all.

The spirit of enquiry allows us to define, redefine or choose not to define anything at all. It gives us the scope to challenge, change, allow and move through any experience with grace and ease. It allows us to expand and grow in any direction; to know and unknow ourselves; to approach any situation with understanding and awareness; and to respect the sovereignity of others. It provides the basis for us to have everything and to let go of it all with gentle laughter. For we appreciate that we are at powerful play.

A Body of Work

Each of us has something to offer. We might describe that in terms of skills, qualities and abilities. Certainly, who we are being determines whether we are fulfilled, whether we are consciously using our energy to make significant contributions to the quality of life for all.

The key to fulfillment is to allow energy flow – not to control it but to allow its fullest expression. Energy (for me) is a description of movement, a measure of aliveness that we can embody.

Our physical body is quite literally our own creation. When we work on it consciously, it becomes a body of work that has our unique expression in it. To grow this body is as much an art as a science. For what goes into us is not just food – we take in experience – we feed upon the vibrations of ecstasy and joy. And what nourishes us too is our feeling for life.

The source of our body of work is an unknown power that originates in us. To use that power we must be willing to own it and be fully responsible for life, in all its forms. And that means we must be willing to live for something greater than ourselves.

We know what we need to grow. We grow the experiences that we desire. We grow the building blocks of our future from what delights us most. We grow from the celebration of life.

Self-Generated Energy Field

“It has long been known that activities of cells and tissues generate electrical fields that can be detected on the skin surface. But the laws of physics demand that any electrical current generates a corresponding magnetic field in the surrounding space.” – Science Measures the Human Energy Field

Our physical body is not the totality of who we are: who we are is nameless and undefinable – who we are is whatever we claim. It’s easy for our consciousness to be anywhere we choose. We select the space/time coordinates and we are instantly there. Of course, space and time are again just useful descriptions that provide a context for our experiences. They do not govern us or define us.

When we let go of the definition of being a human being then we can be whatever we choose. As we do that our energy expands out and the sense we get is that we fill all space. Perhaps we can say that the field of energy we generate is now no longer confined to our physical form. In fact, it seems to merge and combine with other fields of like resonance, so that a collective energy field is established.

The collective energy field is a unified force that we are part of and all of, depending on how we choose to orientate to it and what we perceive it to be. In this collective field we can know everything because we are connected to all – all knowing, all understanding, all possibilities of working together for brilliant outcomes. We may see the field as relative to this world or we may choose for it to encompass the Cosmos. It depends on the level at which we wish to operate.
