September 2021 — Shamanic Meditation Studies – Knowing Our Filters!

Please note that we are scheduled to meet from 3pm – 5pm (Arizona time) on September 18.

We derive our identities largely from buying into conditioned movements of thought about life and our self-identity. That is why it is critical that we get to know who we are beyond the story of me; our made up "me" character that we still tend to feed. Let's make space for our eternal essence – impersonally attentive Conscious Presence. At the core, there is just awareness; aware of itself – without a story of self.

Vast aware presence is our unfiltered essence, right in plain sight, in the space between thoughts; that we have been conditioned to fill with commentary about self and life. Let's commit to discovering what is beyond the limits of that "story of me." And, to start trusting direct perceptions of life rather than filtered commentary about life. Let's explore how we mire ourselves in self-deprecating and time-bound cloud illusions.

More to come…

    I find that when I give my attention completely to whatever is passing through consciousness, I know that those mental distractions are really here to facilitate an awakening to my permanent nature. All roads lead home.

    Energy sessions have been a bit bumpy as I work through a tipping point. Last night I was standing in front of my alter ,and felt myself loving the agitation/fear. To my minds dismay, the agitation was instantly subsumed into peace. I would say that’s an indicator that tension really is the illusion. I am amazed at the capacity to sit in suffering versus letting go into freedom permanently. Eternal Vacation or hell hmmm

    Thanks, Lori. When I chase after peace it is elusive. But often something as simple as focusing on a breath can open me up to peace. What a lovely surprise.

    In the present moment, my form is sitting, breath comes in and goes out and the room’s wall seem to push back as the “space in between” expands. The worries and beliefs have fallen away replaced by a feeling of peace, of safety, of calm. Feels like a giant “pause” button will hit and all has stopped. Then a car goes by and thought comes in. Inhale…exhale…focus on the space between..walls push back – space expands…peace never left…(I was going to write about beliefs. Before I started to write, I took a deep breath and all fell away. Sitting with breathe, I shared my experience instead)
