The Realm of Magical and Miraculous Possibilities

We all live the miraculous every single day, though it’s easy to think that there is an other-worldliness missing from our lives when our attention is focused upon predictable routine. Then it’s easy to believe that we live mundane lives. Yet the reality is that all life is miraculous and it’s up to us to experience that as consciously as possible.

But what is the miraculous? Let’s play a little here and say that it’s the ability to realise our deepest desires beyond any perception of what we think is possible. To live the miraculous is to consciously connect to the energy of possibilities that logically don’t seem to have a place in our world.

An invitation to play
On a 2 day course in Melbourne, a group of us explored the miraculous realm: we allowed ourselves to experience a level of play that dropped the facade of ‘normal living’ and opened up the spaces around us. As someone remarked, it became easy to let go of playing certain roles with people, because suddenly you were face to face with who they really are, not with what you have imagined, but with what clearly presents itself to you in an amazingly powerful way.

We created some fun games that we could play together. One was to be in the Room of Requirement, at Hogwarts School of Wizardry, and ask for anything that you desired.

I said “When we put our physicality into the Room of Requirement – where anything is possible – we are going to see what is actually occurring in that space, to find what’s really true in that space, rather than what we believe is true. The room starts to move with us and allows us to feel frequency changes more easily, so that we become more aware of what’s so in this moment.”

As each person put themselves in the Room, we could speak about them as if they were newly creating themselves in that moment.

Jo said about herself, “I could tell that a whole new level of certainty came in and there was a reorganisation at my base, the circuitry readjusting, moving life into a different rhythm. Not just lining something up in the physical and then doing the upgrade of the programming into the new, but a conscious creating of what’s needed in the new, without need of story. Only what we want it to be“.

We called it the ‘Genesis of New Play’ …
the space of total new creation where everything originates in the new.

Another game that we played was to use a magic carpet, to transport ourselves to wherever we wanted to go to next. It was really an invitation for people to step to a new level of themselves. As Nancy said, “It was holding a clear space and then watching whatever stands there, watching them create themselves anew, and just being in the awe of that”.

The gift of being in the space of new creation means that you don’t have to fit into any pattern. You create yourself in your own unique and inspiring way, making new connections and creating new relationships that are perfect in every moment. This is Powerful Play – playing with the brilliance of creating, just because of the fun that’s generated.

Generating frequencies and seeing new creation as it is being formed
The concept of waves kept popping up. Sound waves, light waves, water waves. It suggested that we were changing our frequencies very fluidly and could relate easily to the power of every action of the group. Our group literally seemed to be full of light. As we explored seeing into the core of one another, it really did feel that magic was made tangible – that our seeing of energy had a profound physical impact upon each person.

This seeing wasn’t along the lines of ‘I see your potential’ – it was about getting inspirational insight into something authentic that was being shown to you, and that you know was being landed in physicality.

summoning a patronus at Hogwarts

Stunningly magical landscapes would emerge around people; such as watching Karina sing her power song against a backdrop of rolling waves, her hair streaming in the wind. The interesting thing was that if one of us could see this imagery then so could others in the group. It was a collective witnessing of how creative we are with our seeing.

We also used tones to shift frequencies. Of Andriana’s singing I said, “you use the tones to make a beautiful structure, and I can see the glint of light as each tone seems to hit something [in the non-physical].”

It was fascinating to see this normally invisible realm taking shape and show us something more of itself with every frequency shift. It underlined a knowing that we can sing Creation into being.

Power Songs
Each of us had the opportunity to sing our power song. The song might describe everything about that person and their reason for being in this world; it might be eternal or it might be for this moment only. The understanding is that we hold songs, consciousness, visions, and possibilities until such time as something new is ready to emerge.

MaryJo, beautifully Irish, knew that she had a song for Ireland inside her. I said, “You’ve been holding something which has been precious to you, because it’s been for people – whether it’s the consciousness of the people or the song of the people or a vision of the people. You’ve been vigilant in holding that song and keeping it true.” So when that song had been sung, and the information in its frequencies had landed, it was clear that she had a new song in her. A song that could be for the world, for the Cosmos, and/or for herself.

In the singing of these songs, it was like releasing a vision of what can be and calling upon the collective to live more into itself in physicality.

Collective play
At the end of our two days, Nancy had an amazing experience that we were all privileged to be part of. It was to do with the collective, landing in the space of New Creation, in the place of magical and miraculous possibilities.This is it in her words -

“There was a shell and we were breaking through, and I saw the dragon coming through, and it had to free its wings and learn to fly. And we were flying to freedom. And with my feet I grabbed the Earth … and together we all had the Earth, and we all went to this new place. And the emotions around it – that this is the time that we could free ourselves. There’s been lots of stages of it but finally it’s like now we have a place to go to – in this new space.”

She added, “When we do a piece of work … what I’m doing is changing the collective of everything … I’m not separate from that anymore. Each thread [of what we've done] was just absolutely necessary for this unfolding, and then the invitation that it invokes is for everyone to come play.”

So there it is. This was truly an exceptional course that allowed us to experience our collective brilliance in physicality. It was an opportunity to feel our connection to each other and let that show us how we can co-create together. It’s the willingness to engage with people, to go deep into them and be bold with them, seeing what is ready to emerge.

The space is set for the unimaginable to emerge. For everyone to create themselves newly. And when you see that everything is a clean slate, without the need for old stories of the old relationships, you ask yourself – what do I want to create new?

At Erasmus Primary School, Hawthorn, Melbourne on December 4th-5th.

Thanks guys for the joy of playing together!

My second Melbourne course this year was “Exploring Collective Core Energetics” ~ how to be in energetic integrity with yourself and others. I wanted people to experience energy sustainability by living from their core.

This is the writeup for this one day course  -

We know that somehow we are intricately connected to each other and to the entire cosmos. We recognise that we are part of something that is ordered and vastly intelligent. When we are ‘in the zone’, we are plugged into this intelligence and are able to revel with awe and wonder at how everything just ‘sings’.

In those moments, time and space seem to stand still, and an incredible knowing of how to live in complete energetic integrity becomes apparent. This knowing allows us to become aware of possibilities of living that otherwise we might never consider. As we surrender into this experience, we realise that it’s possible to be in complete energetic integrity with life, and engage others in powerful creative play, so that they are brought into total alignment within themselves.

We looked at the reasons why people feel drained of energy and saw that giving people our personal energy is based upon a fallacy. It doesn’t give people what they are really wanting – to be met on a level that honours their sovereignty. Giving others our energy doesn’t really assist them: it speaks of not seeing them as empowered beings, able to shape their lives and make their own decisions.

So each person was asked to stand in their power and experience what that is. As we witnessed each other, it helped to liberate peoples views of themselves. There was an excitement at being shown something priceless and special – of reveling in each other, and seeing with wonderment who people really are.

It was like meeting one another in a magical realm, where we know how to interact brilliantly and with insightfulness. To live in this magical realm (where we are aware that our energies meet as one energy) requires us to be present with ourselves and attuned to and aligned with each other. We proved that when you are totally present – and can admit the power of living that – then you automatically align others to their own core.

How we relate to ourselves is crucial in evoking brilliance in everyone. We can drop the old identities of disempowered human beings, and live our lives in a transpersonal way, engaging the very best in others – from core to core.

For if we are aligned with whatever speaks to us of greatness
then greatness is our collective reality.

Core Energetics Group

Venue: Beaumaris Lifesaving Club, Ricketts Point, Melbourne on Wednesday December 1st.

On the plane journey to Melbourne this November I had the good chance to watch the movie “Inception” -  a fascinating story that moves between levels of consciousness and prompts us to consider the nature of reality.

One review of the film says that “It’s a film built on possibilities and the boldness of pursuing those possibilities … [where] everything that we know is impossible appears completely natural”.

That was exactly the spirit in which I approached my courses in Melbourne this year. I sensed that this is a time for being completely bold; for bursting the illusions around what we think is doable, in order to better understand how we can live together with great presence and awareness, in our fullest empowerment.

Everything is creation – everything is amazing potential and an extraordinary invitation to explore the most amazing possibilities.

Dispelling Illusion
Our old stories about our creative powers and about what creation is, were challenged. By challenging those thoughts that everyone assumes to be true, we allowed a seemingly impossible thought to become real – that we can experience perpetual energy flow as a livable reality. We did some energy work around this and, as a result, people commented on being able to see differently. It was as if the illusion of needing to be sustained had dropped away, for as a group we experienced a feeling of regeneration in our physicality.

Living in awe and wonder
The reality of experiencing perpetual energy flow had a profound effect on our thinking. Firstly, it became easy to stop wanting others to change, because it was apparent that our energy doesn’t require us to rely on anything outside of ourselves. All we need to do is to change our ways of thinking – and that allows everyone the freedom to be in perpetual energy flow. If you allow that everyone can be in perpetual energy flow then you don’t have to energetically support them, or feel obliged to look after their health and well-being, or be responsible for their living in any form at all. You return the power and authority for Life back to every single being.

We talked about how we could perceive everything in terms of energy movement, rather than recall old stories that have no energy or validity but which are used to justify who we think we are and what we are here to do.

We applied the miraculous to the Carpal Tunnel Syndrome that troubled Trish. Could it be possible to banish the reality of such a condition? Apparently it could, and it was done through changing the frequency at which she was operating. It seemed clear that if we could dispel the thoughts and beliefs that limit movement and take effective action about that, then new creative possibilities would follow.

Enhanced seeing
The ability to see differently took many forms. There was the work done with Karina, where she talked about feeling that there were two parts of her, and I had the visual clue that part of her came from a place where you created a bubble to move between worlds. By (literally) pricking that bubble now she was able to feel integrated and comfortable in her skin.

There were pointers that had you stop for a moment and re-view what you were really seeing. As if our visualising could be more attuned to what is going on in the core of people, and that we can speak with understanding and authority about what we see there.

Truly, the real world is whatever we make of the information that we can sense. And the more information that we can access then the greater the sense of aliveness in all of us.

By enhancing our senses and being willing to engage people fully, you will make many wonderful discoveries. Here is one of mine -

When you treat people with consideration
and are willing to see into the core of who they really are,
then you enable them to become the beings that they seek to be.

The Vortex Group

Thanks to all the gang in The Vortex Group for their enthusiasm, their willingness to share themselves unconditionally, and their dedication to venturing into the unknown!

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?

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.

1. To reveal who we really are in our most magnificent
2. To develop an awareness of what we can achieve without constant referral to the past
3. To allow a deepening interaction with each other
4. To envision a new purpose for our lives
5. 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.

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.
