Susanna Bair leads a meditation on the Divine Feminine using the Four Element Breaths in ascending order. In the Earth Element we experience Healing Energy, Creativity with the Water Element, Courage with Fire, and Clarity through the Air Breath. Susanna helps us to connect with our unique feminine purpose and power through this 30 minute practice.
As the ancient teachers see it, the heart is the fruit or the flower of the plant of which the soul is the seed. The heart is the whole object of creation. The beauty of the flower or the fruit is the proof of the beauty that was only a potential in the seed.
Though you are a unique person, you’re also an example of your archetype. There are twelve archetypes from an energy point-of-view, and each has its own purpose in life AND the inner resources needed to fulfill that purpose.
How does the Universe move between One Source to one individual?
Does an archetype differ from a personality type?
What is a soul family?
So here’s the thing. Your mind is not your brain. In fact, your brain is not your brain, or at least it’s only part of it. Tucked under the cortex we think we think with, are all the old brains, the hind-brains, the core structures of living and emoting and paying attention — and breathing.
What are the four fundamental types of energies? How do these four energy types evolve into human behavior? Is the dark energy of physicists related to the subtle energy of the mystics?
We think losing weight is really hard. Everyone knows how to do it — you either eat less or exercise more — so it’s not a lack of technique.
There is something that keeps us at our weight. We have to understand that reason before we can hope to change it.
As we see it, the soul is the seed of individuality.
Each soul is a unique individuality, an unduplicated combination of the resources and qualities of the universe. The soul defines an individual, so it holds that essential formula that describes how one person is fundamentally different from all others.
Optimism is an emotion about the future, quite different from thankfulness, which bows to the past and acknowledges the present. That optimism is a feeling-for-no-reason gives us a clue that this emotion, like courage and love, is to be found in that mysterious region we call the heart.
The first benefit you will receive from Heart Rhythm Meditation is a wonderful relaxation.
This relaxation is different from sleep or any other “restful” activity. It comes with a heightened sense of awareness, so you will not be sluggish or drowsy afterward.
After the completion of iamU, our two-year training in Heart Rhythm Meditation, we offer further courses of study in Mentoring, Heart-Energy Healing, and now the latest program, Spiritual Leadership.
So what is a spiritual leader in this day and age?
In meditation we have a wonderful opportunity to honor and connect with our mothers, the Mother Archetype, Mother Earth— whatever mother figure you choose. Sometimes this kind of honoring is only possible through meditation if your relationship with your living mother is complicated, or if she is no longer living. Perhaps meditating on the Ideal Mother is healing for you, or maybe you are learning to be a mother yourself.
Our dear Khabira Ondreah Johnson passed away December 9, 2018 from metastatic breast cancer. As her mentor, I was a spiritual companion for her ride on what she called “the C train”, her code words for dealing with breast cancer through two rounds of medical treatment and beyond
Your body has evolved the ability to respond quickly and efficiently to perceived threats. In our modern lifestyle, actual physical threats are rare, but mental and emotional challenges assault us at every turn, resulting in stress. When we can handle the stress, it acts as a growth stimulant, prompting us to change, to develop new strengths and coping mechanisms
As energetic beings, we are, each one of us, both infinite and finite. The Infinite has focused itself into the finite to become an individual. Each individual retains some consciousness of the Infinite which is its source.
When you sit down to meditate, what you experience depends partly on your intention. The same action done with a different intention will produce different results. What kind of intention might you have for a meditation session?
After having formed an intention, which is a challenge in itself, your challenge switches to accomplishment. Choosing an intention had certain rules, and accomplishment has different rules.
The mind-blowing, transformative, sometimes scary, surprises that I used to have in meditation have become standard, reliable features of the inner landscape. That is, the ceilings of the past have become the floors of the present.
In the tradition we represent, which is not fixed on any one religion but has a long and rich lineage, the best time to meditate is 3:00 to 4:00 AM, SOLAR TIME. We don’t go by the wall clock, which is influenced by artificial time zones, we go by the sun.
I was once asked, “Does meditation skill decay without practice?” There is no decay; progress is permanent
Your meditation will follow the way you breathe. Breath is the spirit behind life. Do you want more life or less life? Breathing is an art and a science. By controlling your breath, you can control your metabolic rate, hormone levels, intelligence, circulation, heart rhythm, and more.
The benefits of meditation come at three levels, which require increasing levels of skill.
Enlightenment is like graduation from the method of the spiritual school, so what enlightenment means experientially depends on what the school is teaching.
Enlightenment can be a very emotional experience. Enlightenment comes in waves, first mind-blowing and perhaps scary. Then it happens again; it’s not scary now, it’s welcomed with deep gratefulness. This time is emotional — it’s really happening!
Steps of Enlightenment In our tradition, we define enlightenment as the experience of infinity, eternity and perfection, as self. Eternity in every moment, infinity in every spot, perfection in every heart. When this breaks through into our conscious awareness, it is overwhelming. Anyone who says there is no specific event that indicates enlightenment has occurred, has
