Digging in to the truth of who we are allows us to fully embody our being. Notice we are animated from within by the breath of life.

I imagine the search could seem complicated, and allowing yourself
to settle within the concept:

I am the one I've been waiting for kind of idea, you know, we are
the ones we've been waiting for. is very supportive idea for me,
it's scary in a way to say "who me? Oh, no!"  kind of, kind of
thing.

And it has really turned out to be true in a lot of ways, for me
over many different aspects of my life.

So the, the search continues for, as I hear you saying, and the
invitation to allow the search to come from within with your own
superpowers and your own gifts to the world.

And certainly keep listening to the great masters and the the
people who have recognized the truth of who we are in the, in this
lifetime.

What's coming up, for me is the the concept of being grounded
within the search itself and within the work of moving forward in
the processes.

A lot of things can come up, and if, if we stay grounded, then
whatever comes up is simply something that we notice on the on
the, like, outside of us, so to speak, or within the hologram of
the game that we're playing.

We can remain grounded in the self for the duration of however
long that lasts within within the vision of our life there.

So just to get started, May I invite you to feel this physical
body and feel it sitting relaxed in your chair or in in your seat.
Just fully embodying your body.

Noticing it has been breathing this entire time. That breathing is
there to serve you as you share your gifts with the world.

Allowing the entire space around you to support your being

noticing your breathing.

noticing the thoughts that may come up, just allow them to go by

allow this present moment to expand.

As Alan Watts has said many times the moment on our clock is
measured with a hair line, second hand and we We tend to think of
this present moment as a miniscule, tiny fraction. My invitation
to you is to allow this moment of Now to begin to open.

So it's actually beyond time, this moment of now,

Allow your sense of this moment, the sense of your being to gently
expand.

expanding in space,

expanding in time,

recognizing it's all the same stuff, this space time.

So the projection that we see around us, appears to be external to
our bodies and our experience.

Actually, we include it.

Notice what it's like to literally include time and space within
your being.

From this perspective, all of timespace becomes very small as we
see from a grander perspective.

Imagine coming back, focusing more on your physical body.

Whereas you include all of time space, your physical body is
included within space time.

Allow yourself to bring your focus back to your physical body gently.

Slowly coming in to your physical body, noticing the difference in
perspective of the physical body being inside space time versus
our true nature including space time itself.

As you re embody your physical body in this moment,

notice some of the thoughts and ideas that you've had planned for
yourself been wanting to do, whether they're well fleshed out, or
still exploring and moving forward.

Take a moment to write down some of those that come to mind. Some
ideas you've wanted to do.

You may have one big one that's very clear, or few options like a
to do list. Anything is okay.

(pause for writing)

Allow your allow your list to come to completion and find one
topic to focus on for a little discussion.

The idea of digging into this one topic. What are some things that
you may have to let go of in your life in order to fully embrace
this topic? To fully bring it into your life?

(fifteen minute discussion of above question)

And simply the the practice of meditating, whether it's 15 minutes
per day, or one minute, 15 times per day,

This concept of meditation is simply being with myself for this
moment.

And it doesn't have to take us a long or a whole elaborate
arrangement. But even in any moment, just be with yourself, and
then forget about it.

"Ah, that's right."

And just be with this help at any time. It's like a continuous
meditation. Anytime you forget, just bring your focus back. And
notice. And it's a continuous process.

(discussion time)

Having the idea of your your list or the item on your list there,

noticing the parts of you who are already connected with this item.

parts of you that are already connected or optimized.

breathing into those parts of your optimal self.

These are your superpowers we've talked about before.

We have many superpowers. We breathe into the ones that are
aligned with this particular topic. Those parts of us that are
already well established. Simple for us to do.

Breathe into those and allow their strength to expand within your
being bringing online other parts of yourself that may not have
had as much practice

Allow your well developed parts to offer energy to the parts that
may desire more energy

as the infinite power of the universe animates.

Allow this animation to expand to all parts of your being.

Blessing all parts of yourself

activating all parts of yourself

really digging in to the truth of who you are.

An infinite being having this experience within a physical body.

The ego has ideas about what needs to be fixed, what needs to be
corrected.

Recognize everything is perfect.

Everything is correct.

Simply allowing yourself to consciously feel the being.

This being is your groundedness is your ultimate anchor.

Let your consciousness shine like a light within your being

and your light shining out for other people to see.

As you settle fully into your being

allowing your being to effortlessly express itself within the world.

Allowing your work to energize you

feeling excited as you in body more and more of your being

continuing to take moments to notice your being allow this to
become a regular practice. Oh yeah, here I am.

In a moment, we will come back into a speaking mode. Just feel
this experience now in this moment as your awareness is failing
more of your being

As you are aware of more of your being.

Allow yourself to take a mental note or a mental snapshot of this
feeling. So you can refer to it at any point

teller becomes second nature to simply be in full embodiment.

allowing a few more breaths at your own pace.

Simply notice your body breathing itself.

As you notice your Being being itself

Reinforce this mental snapshot of this experience. Keep it in your
proverbial back pocket. So you can call it up at any time

begin to re embody the physical bodies

I welcome you back into this shared space.

Join us for Weekly Alignments online Thursday nights 7pm JST.

Last week, looking from a spiritual perspective, we saw our enough-ness is a given.

"Of course you are enough.  I made you."
- God

This week, we had a chance to converse with a body part in pain, and expand the vision of our heart’s gifts to the world.

As always, I started us with a grounding, starting from 0'0" in the recording:

So, I'll just lead us in a grounding for for a moment while people are joining.

So allow your body to sit firmly in your seat. And with each breath,
let your muscles relax.

Allowing your sit bones to be comfortably stable.

Whether you're sitting down or standing, still allowing that grounded
feeling to reach all the way up through your hips and your sit bones.

Continuing to breathe. Allow the grounding to come up even further in your body.

Allowing any concerns from the day to simply drop off of your
shoulders. Let your shoulders sink down into this groundedness.

Let them share the support coming up from the ground and coming up
from the chair.

As you find your center of balance, your spine settles beautifully
into place: each vertebra relaxing on the one below it.

Your head, fully supported by all the musculature of your body,
balanced and in place.

Just rest in this moment of being in your body.

Fully supported by your seat which is fully supported by the floor,
fully supported by the building which itself is fully supported by the
earth.

Earth fully supported in gravity within the solar system.

The Solar System beautifully in its place in the galaxy.

Allowing yourself to be fully supported by the universe.

In this moment, bringing your consciousness back into your physical
body knowing you are in the perfect place. This time moment of now.

I invite you to rest in this awareness of knowing and trusting
yourself to know when it's time to move.

Begin to settle into the idea of opening your eyes into this space we
are co-creating, allowing your body to breathe itself,

and expressing gratitude to your body for continuing to support you as
you begin to open your eyes into our shared space.

Welcome.

The first meditation offered a chance to recognize a part of our body feeling pain or in some need of attention, starting from 7'13" in the recording:

Allow yourself to get settled in your body. If you need to stretch
or move, you can feel free to do that. Before getting settled down
and just again, come to an awareness of your body and awareness of
your breathing.

Allowing your body to breathe itself, and allowing your
consciousness to move down from the mind, allow your consciousness
to settle within your body, noticing how your body is feeling.

There may be some aches or pains. Simply noticing those in this moment.

Take a moment to guide your breath to that part of your body,
really giving it oxygen giving it some attention.

Breathing deeply into your lungs, send that energy to the parts of
your body that may have an ache or pain.

Take a moment to check in with that part of your body.

What is that part of the body telling you?

What need is not being met?

What message does this part of your body have for you?

What types of things can you do to support the ease and proper
functioning of your body, including this part?

Feel free to capture any insights you hear from your body part,
from your body, as it lets you know what it needs.

Take a moment to thank this part of your body.

Thank it for its support. Thank (it) for the insight.

and thanks for letting it know how to give it proper support. So
you can have a mutually supportive relationship with this part of
your body.

After having a healing conversation with our body, this meditation expanded our vision of providing our inner qualities to the world around us, starting from 13'40" in the recording:

Returning your consciousness to your breath, notice your body
continuing to breathe itself.

Allow your focus to center on your heart, your heart chakra.

With each breath, allowing the heart chakra to deepen, and
allowing the heart chakra to expand, wherever it needs to move or
grow.

However it needs to settle and feel grounded.

Give your heart chakra permission to move as it needs to energize
as it needs and as supports you.

The Heart Chakra is described as rotating energy going through
your body on both directions. Something like a lotus flower
emanating from your body.

Imagine the energy pure, bright, clear, functioning and
functioning optimally. 100% beautifully.

Recognizing the truth of who you are as a spiritual being, as a
spirit in this physical body,

You have innate qualities, innate skills and abilities we call
superpowers. These are your superpowers.

Breathing into the energies that you love to perform for the world.

Breathing into the way you feel joy in your life.

All the different ways you feel joy.

Breathing into the excitement of new possibilities in life.

Notice how simply you can invoke your superpowers.

Positively sharing your gold with the world.

These are your gifts for the world.

Those activities that heal you and bring you joy.

Notice ways you can do these more often.

Imagine taking more time, more of your precious time in the day
for enjoyment for sharing your gifts.

Imagine how expanding the time spent on your enjoyment in the
world has a ripple effect, both in the gifts that you share and in
the modeling of sharing gifts with those around you.

These gifts come from the infinite spring of the universe;
everlasting unlimited joy is available for you and for you to
share.

Imagine expanding your reach by sharing with more people. What
does that look like?

What might that look like as you share your gifts with more and
more people?

What might you learn about yourself or confirm hunches you already
know about yourself?

Breathe into your gifts and imagine bringing them into the world,
expanding your vision, expanding your reach.

Touching more and more people with the beauty you offer in the
world.

Allow this infinite wealth and spring of energy from the universe
to nourish you as well. Bring your body energy through the love
and excitement of sharing your gifts.

And recognizing the need to take care of your physical body as a
vehicle, this lifetime for sharing these gifts.

You're fully in touch with your body, knowing what it needs,
allowing yourself to take care of yourself as you share your gifts
with more and more people.

Taking a moment now to draw that vision. Write the insights you've
had come to you how you can share your gifts.

(Write) what it looks like to expand your reach expands your
connection with more and more like minded people who love you and
love your gifts.

What does it feel like, sharing your gifts with more and more
people?


How do people react around you when you share your gifts?

Take a moment to create this vision for yourself in a way you can
keep in front of you, so you remember your gifts that you offer.

And allow yourself to take the opportunities presented, where you
can share your gifts.

After you've finished writing I'm curious what you've noticed what
ways you can continue to expand your vision.

Have a couple minutes of silence for writing if you need.

(The above transcript was extracted from our live interactive Weekly Alignment on Thursday night.)

Join us for Weekly Alignments online Thursday nights 7pm JST.

Tonight we celebrated our experiences from 2020 and released old energies that no longer serve us.

Breathe for a moment.

Taking nice deep breaths fully into your body.

Yeah. Breathing fully in, and just let it out.

Once more fully in, and out.

Allowing the shoulders to relax; [allow] any concerns for the day
to just drop away.

This is our last weekly alignment of 2020, and an opportunity to
reflect on the year and prepare ourselves mentally and
psychologically for the new year, 2021.

And in part of that process, I want to allow time to release any
ideas that no longer serve us; release any responsibilities that
no longer serve us.

So taking a moment to look in your mind, noticing your body,
noticing your daily life.

What are some things that no longer serve you, that you can
release as we finish this year?

You can take a moment to write them down or say them out loud,
just off the top of your head. What do you notice?

So, yeah, it was beautiful. And thanks for going deep on that.

Recognizing there may be more things to release, think about the
agreements that you've made with other people.

Are there any agreements that you have made, which no longer serve you?

And just allow this idea to come lightly in your mind, recognizing
there may be some old agreements that you made and they may no
longer serve you.

Yeah. Thank you. Thank you for exploring that as well.

And now taking a moment to notice any ideas that you project onto
other people that they may be expecting of you.

Whether or not it was a formal agreement, there may be an idea
that people are expecting things of you.

So of these, are there any that you want to release?

So that was the list of what you believe others expect of you.

And there may be some overlap, but take a moment breathing for a
moment. What are some things that you expect of yourself that no
longer serve you?

Writing down the expectations you have of yourself that may no
longer serve you.

For these, there may be a renegotiation or some type of adjustment
to the agreement with yourself or the expectation of yourself.

As you are looking at the list of the ones that you have given to
yourself, remember what was the original reason that you created
this expectation of yourself?

And maybe that will help inform a way that it can be adjusted to
serve you better.

And you don't have to have a final decision right now, but this is
just noticing the things that have kind of collected in life.

This is a chance to look at the things, to get them out. And
during the next two week period is to churn them over and simply
listing them out now is not the final answer.

But if there are some that are clearly no longer serving you, this
would be a time to say "Okay. That one's done."

So, yeah, please do take that time during the next two weeks until
we meet again.

Inventory processes can take some time, so an invitation to give
yourself that time.

Take a moment to breathe again, getting present with your list,
present with your body. And we'll do a little litmus test, a
little emotional check for these items.

Starting with one that attracts your attention, imagine continuing
this topic or this agreement, this behavior in your life.

How does it feel as you imagine continuing? How does your body
feel as you imagine continuing this process?

And just recognize it lightly. We're not sinking too deep
now. Lightly noticing how it feels then releasing that feeling for
a moment.

Imagine letting go of this belief or this agreement.

How does it feel as you imagine letting go?

And again, very lightly: these are not hard and fast decisions
that we're making. Simply noticing how the body feels with the
idea.

And as you have time during the holiday era, as we're
transitioning to a new year, just looking at each of these things
with your feeling body.

Allow yourself to go through the list, engaging your feeling body.

Feeling the idea of continuing and feeling the idea of releasing.

Feeling the idea of adjusting these expectations, giving yourself
time to process each one.

Thank you for taking time to process with me, too.

Tonight we had a chance to notice we still exist even without a past or future. How does a timeless being use its skills while living in time?

Sit back, relax, and discover your truth for yourself. :-)

Noticing your physical body, allow yourself to simply be in the
body, being with your breath.

Your physical body has a past in the physical dimension.  Your
body has had experiences and changes over time.

The body uses oxygen and burns food to give it energy. These are
all natural processes.  The body knows how to take care of itself.

So the body exists in time. And for this exercise, we will allow
ourselves to let go of the body, knowing it will be here when we
are finished, as the body has a future.

So, just thank your body for a moment and allow it to take care of
itself. We will be right back with the body.

Noticing what remains, you might notice mental thoughts and
ideas. These often have a time component based in memories and
repetition.

So let's also allow these mental constructs to drop away, noticing
what remains as you release everything about your history,
everything about your future, just let it drop away.

Noticing something remains.  There is an awareness.

Mind may come back trying to get your attention. Just allow it to slip away.

Noticing what remains as we drop everything away: all the concepts
of identity, all the words. Just allow them to slip away.

Noticing what remains, releasing all concept of identity or memory.

Noticing in this moment: noticing what is here.  What is it that perceives?

Recognizing even as we release everything; allow everything to
drop away. Something remains.

Who or what is releasing?

Recognizing the part of you which remains, even as we drop away
everything.

Allow that part of you to re-inhabit the physical body. Maybe
connect with the notebook, just noticing what's here, capturing
this truth of who you are.

[allow time to write]

Again, allowing everything to drop away. Again, release your
physical body, thanking it for taking care of itself.

Again release any words. Releasing any identity.

Simply be here now.

Recognizing something cannot be released.

Recognizing no name, no form, no desire, no color.

It simply is.

Recognizing this IS-ness has no location, no time; it is always
here. Always now.

And so, as we begin to notice the body breathing, allow the
IS-ness to settle gently within the body, finding everything to be
working optimally, as you settle back into your body.

Beginning to remember this the history you have shared with the
body the experiences it's brought with you

Noticing this IS-ness is always here; always available for your
pure experience.

As you're ready, allow your fingers to begin to move. Remembering
this body has fingers has arms, legs.  Reconnecting with this
physical body. Recognizing the IS-ness remains unchanging, even as
the body changes and moves.

(Recall your super power from last time.)

Recognizing the part of you that remains, even after we release
the physical body [and] release the identity.

Notice this superpower as an innate quality, innate skill that has
come with this life you're experiencing.

Breathing into your ability and your skill which is one of many
skills but just thinking about the one for now for simplicity.

What are some ways that a timeless being can use this skill in an
environment of time?

Recognizing yourself at your essence, to be beyond time, how do
you use this skill within time? .. as you experience time?

This is a superpower offered as part of your package arriving into
this life experience.

This life experience is an opportunity for you to experience using
this power, almost as if it's one chance to use this power.

And yet as you exist beyond time you understand there are infinity
chances.

How do you use *this* chance *this* superpower while moving
through time *this* life?

Feel free to note down any inspirations that come.

Feel free to simply sit with your superpower outside of time,
knowing in your experience, you have unlimited time.

How do you serve yourself and others as you're experiencing time
together?

Starting with our Deepest Desire from last week, we explored our innate abilities (our super powers) and how they can be used to help heal ourselves:

This audio is taken from the live interactive recording:

Take a moment and get present in your space.  We'll do just a few
grounding piece, to reconnect with your purpose and inner
strength.

Settling into your seat. Just notice your breathing. Just take
some nice, deep breaths. Fully inflating your lungs and body just
let it out.

Breathing in again, fully inflating your lungs and your whole
body. Just let it out.

One more time. Imagine breathing all the way in to all parts of
your body.  Hold it, and...  just let it all back out.

Let your breathing come back to its own natural pace, dropping all
of the tension. All the thoughts and ideas from today.

Just allow them to shrug off your shoulders and drop down to the
ground, to be grounded by Mother Earth.


Recognizing within yourself, this desire to have protection. This
desire to have purpose. This desire to live fulfilled life -
is coming from within you.

A deep part of you is calling to remind you of your true self.

Recognizing that self is here, perhaps buried under fears and
ideas and thoughts about what must happen first. Just allow those
to drop away. Imagine settling in to your true self.

Settling into your inner strength, settling into your inner purpose.

Just notice what it's like having this energy, knowing it's
here...  not having to know when or how we'll use it.  Just
breathing into the truth of yourself, here.

Your full potential is present, allowing you to move into action if
and when necessary.

This is your innate superpower.

And like any superhero, you don't have to wield your power all the
time. It's simply there.


Simply there for your confident weilding as needed, whenever needed.

Take a moment, just jot down what that looks like.

What's it like to confidently wield your superpower when it's
needed?

Allow that vision to come to life on the paper. How does it feel
having this power at your disposal?

As you come to completion writing, thank your power for always
being here, just acknowledging it, reacquainting yourself with
this power.

Like a fish swimming, it's not something they think about so much.
It just happens naturally.

Who would like to share what came up?

[snip]

Beautiful. I like the present tense version of all those as
well. It was great. Simple ways of living, that are empowered by
your superpower there.  Nice, thank you.

[snip]

Having those actions are natural processes, part of your
superpower of being on purpose in your life. Thank you.

So, the next little bit is take a moment to anchor in your body
which means to make a mental note to yourself, what it feels like
having this power.

You've taken a moment to notice the power. Now just taking a
moment to remember the feeling, the sensation, maybe the voice or
posture of this power.  As it's always here, we may not always
notice what it's like, so just take a moment and notice what it's
like to have this power.  How does it feel in your body?

Once you've got it fully burned into your memory, we'll move on to
the next segment here, which is notice seen the things that
disrupt and occlude your awareness of your power. It's not
occluding your power, which is always there. But just your
awareness might get blocked or distracted from the fact that you
have this power.

More of a mental thing, maybe just as discussion, what are some of
the things that block you from recognizing your power? For me, for
example is worrying about what people will think about me.

[snip]

We'll go down that road for a bit. Tonight, what are some of the
things that block your awareness of your power, and your
connection to purpose?

The next exercise is: allow allow our brain to spiral out of
control for a bit; we'll stay in control, but we're just going to
let, have some fun with this.

And writing, starting with the top layer. If I try to recall, like
"what will people think?" kind of idea.  You know,.. "what if they
don't respect what you're trying to do" or, you know, whichever
language fits for you best in that regard.

And "if there's not enough time" kind of as the top level, big
fear that I heard. And so these, take a moment to write that down:
the top level fear that's easy to recognize.

We're about to exaggerate it. Yes. Yeah, but for now just, like,
[use] "there's not enough time" [as the topmost fear], something
external to yourself, so "not enough time" and then the "people's
reaction" kind of thing.


And so, right above that line, "what might happen if..." And then
you've got that biggest fear, showing up. So you go one
level... if that happens, go one level deeper. If there's not
enough time what's going to happen? Write that down.  If people
don't respect you... what might happen?


I've never done this exercise in parallel. So if you get stuck
just speak up, but go down about five levels at least. Just let
your mind go crazy about what disaster might happen.

[snip]

Yeah. We're just. Yeah, yeah, Yeah, like make it worse make it
worse all the way down.

In a way, have fun with it but these are real fears that your mind
is bringing up to you each day.

Go at least five levels, and if you're on a roll just keep it
rolling.

[What if I get to something positive?]

That's actually fine is keep rolling through it, what might happen
if this positive thing happens?

Well yeah, the self talk also could be part of it, you know, "I
talk down to myself" and therefore, this might happen. Therefore,
this might happen...

Whatever it may be, this is really, we're allowing the brain to
just go crazy and get all this stuff out there, so we can see
clearly what's in here [points to head] as a background noise.

[snip]

Yeah. Beautiful. Yeah. Again, thank you for driving down into
that. Again, we're putting onto paper. This is what the background
noise may be as I'm going through the day. It was like "this is
what I'm up against? Oh no!" kind of thing.


So, dropping back down to visualization mode, reconnect with that
anchoring we did a while ago, where you know how it feels. You
feel your positive superpower. Ready for you at any moment.

Again, not every moment, just as it's needed. You use it
skillfully.  You use it wisely. Once you're fully connected again
with your superpower, that's always there and your awareness is
fully connected, take a look at that mind chatter that you wrote
down.

How does your superpower serve you clearing through this mind
chatter? What are some ways you can wield your superpower,
skillfully, wisely, artfully, in the face this background mind
chatter?

[snip]

Yes, Thor is like, Yeah, he's not bothered. He's like yeah, it
doesn't matter. Perfect. Yeah. Thor as a perfect archetype for her
inner strength. Absolutely. Breathe into that.

[snip]

Right. Yeah, exactly. There's the power you have
[to connect with others], what is business but connections with
people? And so that's a perfect power to build the connections
that the company has, and new ones that are needed in the
future. So yeah. Breathe into that, that is a natural skill that
you have, and it serves your role.

[snip]

And so, this is live interactive like so it's kind of a freestyle
as serves the group. So, thank you for deep dive.

Guidelines

1. No drugs or alcohol. If you are high or have been drinking, tell the group. Honor this sacred space.
2. If you judge another person, notice how these judgements are about yourself.
3. We do our best to use I Statements, not You/We statements. When we take responsibility for our language we can take responsibility for ourselves.
4. Ask another member before you give feedback. They may say no.
5. Feedback is a reflection on what you heard/saw/felt, and is focused on the one who is sharing. Opinions and Advice are only given if requested.
6. Let the group leader know if you cannot arrive on time.

It was really interesting. I was really able to pin point a moment
when I was hurt by my dad. It also explains why I have been
craving his validation for most of my life. My mind is kind of
blown right now.

I watched it with my new friend. We started to cry during your
guided meditation.  It was a beautiful moment for us. Because of
your session, we could easily allow each other to be
vulnerable. We ended up hugging, crying and sharing how we can
support each other to integrate another version of ourselves - who
have all the deepest desires met - into our current lives.  Thank
you for unlocking another way to liberate myself, also introducing
a way to deeply connect with /understand people I care for.
