The Magical Apprentice

August 23, 2010

One of my projects this year is the Magical Apprentice programme. It’s an individually tailored experience, although two close friends or partners can do it together. My friend Tanya suggested the name and the concept of it – to show people how to create a magical life for themselves and always be in the magical reality of it.

Originally, I conceived the Magical Apprentice to be a 3 day programme, in which I would share my specialist skills/knowledge, but now I am also envisioning an advanced 3 day experience.

I set out a series of topics that I knew would be useful as a starting point -

Opening to Power
Energetic Mastery
Transformative Touch
Evocative Voice
Visionary Awareness
Sourcing the Magical & the Miraculous
Physical Authorship
Knowing the Game

but when my first apprentice came along, all the step-by-step planning went out the window. As soon as we put down on paper all the points that were the most important to cover, then it became obvious that the programme was really -

to uncover the nature and essence of the apprentice
to discover the natural skills of the apprentice and the best ways of employing those skills
to assisting the apprentice in applying magical creation to their ongoing real-life situations
to encourage the apprentice to develop their own body of work

Here is how one apprentice has described the experience -

“It feels like being on the Control Deck of the Starship Enterprise.”

Everything is examined and explained, so that the apprentice is fully aware of who they are and what they are here to do. We cover everyday situations – but done from a vast expansive level. As one apprentice said, “It’s Cosmic and energetic but extremely practical. It’s out there but it’s also here, and not separate from. You get to see things on all levels.”

When an apprentice sets out their intentions, I ask them to be mindful that they are not being taught anything but rather they are being shown how to develop their own body of work. We look at a variety of situations that help the apprentice to gain perspective and the insight/confidence to source magic in their life. The emphasis on all things magical is important, because it helps -

to introduce lightness in all that we do
to keep things fresh and exciting
to see the most amazing and unexpected possibilities develop
to have creative purpose that magically uplifts and enhances the lives of others

Unsurprisingly, a Magical Apprentice is self-selecting and committed to energetic mastery and magical living. Here is what Dorothee said, after completing the first day of her 3 day Magical Apprentice programme.

“On the way home I thought if I were to say just one thing about working with you, it would be that one can take you by every sentence, every word, every letter, every ‘promise about magics’ that you make. And it will happen! For me this has even been far, far bigger, for I knew that others can know, believe in what you say, and thereby make it happen. I wasn’t sure for myself whether I can enter this space. But it happened for me!“

So are you ready for an amazing experience?

Are you the next Magical Apprentice?

Melbourne Revisited

November 17, 2009

Last November I led two brilliant courses in Melbourne, Australia, on energy awareness and sustainability. I returned in October this year to increase my level of participation with the local community and to create a new body of work. This article details some of what was accomplished and, more importantly, gives a sense of what people are now ready to live. My thanks in particular to Nancy and Andriana for their support and involvement in these events.

Oct 22nd-25th 2009
A 4 day course that had the following objectives.

To reveal who we really are in our most magnificent
To develop an awareness of what we can achieve without constant referral to the past
To allow a deepening interaction with each other
To envision a new purpose for our lives
To be ready to enter a new phase of collective beingness

Key points from the course -

that we realise we no longer need to base our lives on past patterns
that we carefully assess any situation and know exactly the right action to take rather than rushing to ‘do’
that we are more conscious of what we are generating (in every sense)
that we are more aware that our physicality represents what we are generating
that we can experience a sense of completeness all the time by lining everything up for successful outcomes
that sound recalibrates our experience of emotion and we can incorporate the musicality naturally occurring around us
that we are creating a unified field of ecstatic infinite possibility
that each of us claims the freedom to create what really works

We focused on -

LIBERATING THE PAST - when we are fully present the past doesn’t exist, it has no pull, so we created a space where the wisdom from all timelines can be accessed by us in any moment. The past is no longer a place to refer back to and engage with because the place of engagement is directly accessible in a now context.
ENERGY ENCODEMENT - in each of us (and all around us) there is so much information that can be used, so we explored how to access and decode that information by being conscious of the most appropriate understanding in any situation.
DECLARING CELEBRATION - this is when we realise that our stories of who we have been and how we have lived are subject to interpretation, and can be reinterpreted through the spirit of celebration. Everything can be celebration.
LANDING BEINGNESS – setting aside any belief that there is anything more of ourselves to reach for and integrate, we looked at how our relationship with life is enhanced when we see that we have everything at our fingertips – for we are now truly complete.
CREATING A NEW UNFOLDMENT OF REALITY – what happens when creation and consciousness comes together? well they create a unified field, a perpetuating energy force that is our natural state of being.

A key moment of this course was when people decided that their past was no longer the sequence of events that they remembered. In a new interpretation, what had been experienced as pain and suffering could now be viewed as progressive movements towards evolving magnificence. One of the group decided that her past no longer dictated her present experiences: in the light of celebration there is no longer anything to fix, complain about or feel incomplete. She is totally complete.

We have come to a moment where the past no longer holds us back and where there is such a brilliant future. “We know in the fullness of our being that we are riding the crest of greatness, letting go of the need for quest and embracing the beauty of creation.” – Andriana

In a short video Andriana talks further about the significance of this time.

Oct 26th – Men’s Night
A great group of men assembled to openly talk about those things that are deeply important but are not easily shared. For some it was an astounding revelatory experience in which they could release their perceptions of what their life has been about. One man said, at the end of the night, “I was never disconnected” – meaning that he had been searching for his connection to others and that connection was now restored. The real point of this event was that men could share meaningful conversation about the richness of themselves and be comfortable with the depth of conversation.

Oct 27th – Youngster’s Night
Put a group of 16 youngsters together and allow them to find out who they really are. That was the basis for this event. These were youngsters in the 16-25 age range who attend the Reach Foundation in Melbourne. We asked each one to stand in the centre of the group and see what it energetically feels like to express their power. They had to be aware of what it was that they sought to express and to put that in words. We asked them to look at themselves with new eyes and to be there for the whole group. When everyone stood up and helped one other to be seen and acknowledged then we felt a powerful cohesive force in the room.

Oct 29th – The Art & Science of Being day
This was an incredible event. There were 13 of us, ready to discover what we are really here for in this world and ready to explore new ways of relating to one another. That people can come together and take part in something that is neither rehearsed nor previously talked about, and yet be present with such incredible awareness of individual and group contribution, really does highlight that we are closely attuned to what waits to be expressed by each of us.

The theme revolved around pearls and the weaving of golden threads. In symbolic terms, each one of us is a pearl, each weave of contribution creating a tapestry of incredible magnificence to watch and be part of.

People let go of being human beings, in order to allow a greater sense of purpose to arise. The whole day was built around the remaking of ourselves, the remaking of the world, and the remaking of reality. Each person realised that they had something to offer – that their beingness and their life held incredible value – and that to share this unfolding expression of consciousness allowed us to understand the power in each nuance and gesture.

I watched each person stand up and become greater than their human beingness. What people said came from a place of ownership – that each of us recognises the true value of what we say and do, of who we be and are, of what we work upon and work towards. And that we are able to give space for such an unfolding is pure brilliance.

It seems crazy to think about (let alone talk about) these things, and yet the Beingness that we all are just takes charge and knows what to do, without having to question the legitimacy or sanity of what we might be doing. We do the miraculous – why question that? Why stop to ponder the meaning of what is being done when you already know and feel what is so?

Oct 31st-Nov 1st – The Space of Creative Possibilities
Two one-day workshops that built upon the previous experiences. The theme here was to explore the Principles of Being. It centered around -

being in our authority about Life and taking control of the experience
energetically knowing how to be
understanding how to source the movement of our uniqueness
exploring the richness of contribution in others and understanding how that is done, and
exploring our capacity to envision

We witnessed the stirrings of things that might seem impossible to imagine – that we are able to look at our physicality with open eyes and see through all the layers of energy expression. That our vision is not confined to something that appears solid and unchanging. For our ability to vision is an ability to describe life in every detail in any way that we choose, from what deeply moves us.

“We stand in our greatness, in our beingness. We are connected in a unified field, moving into a new era to dance in limitless possibilities and see the perfection in the totality of all, and creating wonder. We reach into consciousness and feel the vision of how life can be and is being fulfilled … and the exquisite joy of seeing and actioning into creation becomes our new venture.” – Andriana

The whole Melbourne experience is summed up in these words -

This Melbourne venture has been a merging point for all of us – as a race we are moving into a brilliant future, shaping it according to what wants to grow. We saw that our Beingness is far greater than a knowing of ourselves beyond personality. Our Beingness is the authority to manage physicality and create experiences that manifest the quality of what we desire for all. So let’s get into action with all of it and decide what comes next.

Santari in OZ

December 19, 2008

I travelled to Melbourne, Australia, in November 2008 to lead two courses on ‘The Creation of Health and Total Physical Awareness’. Both events were highly successful and exceeded my original intentions, which were to give people an understanding of how regeneration works and to have an energetic awareness of how reality is created.

Nov 24th-26th 2008
A 3 day course: the objective was to show people how to work with essence.

This course covered -

awareness of the subtle nature of Energy
awareness of the unique ways in which we source, attune to, and engage with Energy
awareness of the effectiveness of what we do, and see how to enhance that just by shifting focus
how to go deeply into the essence of others and relate to them with that perspective
seeing what changes when we view ourselves as eternal and immortal beings
understanding the energetic & consciousness shifts that take place when we meet with the Earth as an eternal and immortal being
reorientating to life as eternal and immortal beings in an eternal and immortal place
getting the sense of what it feels like to be totally unleashed – to know what it is to speak with power and authority

We focused on -

INTEGRITY - the need to be present and attentive to whatever is happening. You cannot be focused unless you are energetically present.
ATTUNEMENT - the ability to tune into energy frequency, to perceive the nuances of energy movement, and understand the relationship of everything in terms of energy.
AWARENESS – the ability to understand the potential of what can/needs to happen next in any situation. This determines the ordering of every movement, knowing that there is a timing to it all, so that we act when there is a cause for action and not because we wish it.

Everything done during the course showed us how to act with integrity. We saw that each person had a way of being that needed to be recognised and valued. One example was in watching Laila sway her body when she spoke her poetry. It was a lyrical dance movement, in which she emanated waves of energy that kept on moving out even when she finished speaking. Her intention was to shower people all around the world with love and happiness.

The course showed that, by being attentive to energy movement, we could go deeply into experiences with each other. Allowing us to engage what has been waiting to be recognised and appreciated, and realising that what we seek to hold back is really the essence of what allows us to go forward.

Here are key ideas from the course

That we see every emotion as a call for energy movement, so that we are not entrapped by our relationship to energy or overwhelmed by its power.
That by going deeply into energy we can understand where it comes from and what it is for, so that we do not create false realities about it.
That we are not focused on people but on energy movement (takes away the drama).
That, by attuning to energy, we give consciousness to it and can precipitate its movement, so that we always know how to produce the most profound outcomes.
That we have affinity to all creation, and can facilitate changes more easily and swiftly because of the depth of our caring and the integrity with which we act.

You can get a sense of the power of the event by reading ‘The Abundance (part 3)’ and viewing the following videos -

Nov 29th-30th 2008
This course showed us that we have many unique gifts waiting to be discovered. There was a lot of fun in seeing who people really are. Seeing Andriana pass on her newly discovered gift to Bouthaina was amazingly powerful: it affirmed for Andriana that energy is tangible and that her gifting of it is real and able to be passed on to others, who in turn are strengthened by the experience.

We also exploded the popular myths that are spoken as if they are true – for example, that we cannot change reality. Even when we tried to speak the myths we could feel that they are energetically restrictive and untrue.

We explored reality creation from a physical and energetic perspective. We saw that to have a shared experience requires us to go deeply into it with others, that we can reveal our totality rather than exchange a surface connection. To really get at what we are all here to share requires us to be totally unlimited, totally uncontained, and totally unleashed.

Some course experiences leave attendees thinking that they have not fully understood or taken on board all the teachings. This adventure showed people that they are already where they need to be and they only need to realise/own their mastery.

Our experience is summed up in these words -

You don’t believe it applies to you – but it does. When you get the feeling that you have arrived, that all of this applies to you, then you will get it and not lose it.
