Openhand Virtual La Palma Retreat 2019 - Through the Ether!

Hi Marije,

Well it definitely sounds like you're tapping into a deep layer of karma - which is a good sign, because that means you're accessing the source pain. So the potential for a productive shift is there. My encouragement is to keep digging and unwinding. It's sure to bear fruit.

Hi Marije,

I think you articulate well what many people experience - particularly those with strong intellect capabilities. The mind creates various cycles and loops of activity, which kind of work in society, but when you start to break free, as you are, they all tend to surface. And sometimes they tend to compete with each other. There's the questioner for example, or the rebel, or else that which needs to be engaged in the control loops. The key is to identify what the 'tightness' is and in the Openhand way, express into it.

It's not always immediately obvious to see what the tightness is. In this case you might feel it in the mind, but my sense is the underlying tightness exists elsewhere for which the mind loops are a cover. I sense that really the tightness is deeper down in the body, through other chakras.

If you were to imagine completely losing control, how would that feel? What fears would come up?

I would suggest exploring into this and seeing where that takes you - where do you feel the fear of loss of control? My sense is that this would point to the source tightness.

I can already feel it - 2020 will be an auspicious year in the shift - the year of The Divine Being. I was so thrilled by the energy of our venue this year on La Palma, and of the previous years, that I felt to go ahead and book Januray 2020 right now.

So the dates will be 25th January - 1st February, for those who can already sense future-landing-now

And I can also feel a Virtual Retreat of its own taking shape for the beginning of January 2020.

In this great unfolding shift, let's stay connected!

Hey Everyone - just arrived back in the UK now. Managed to catch this video diary on the last day. Do check it out, it seemed to capture well the essence of coming from the divine core. Oh, and there's a great feature part by "Mr Tibbs", an affectionate cat, who wanted very much to get in on the act!...

Hi Scott - sounds like the ray 5 is for you right now!

But also check out the ray 3 - the interpreter. Feels like to me that more more might represent the orederlyness.

Best wishes

Here's an old Openhand Favourite that moved hearts deeply on our La Palma retreat. I felt to dedicate it to you all. "Starchild" by Bliss...

Hi Scott - I missed one of your earlier posts - which ray is clean and orderly?

I would say the orderlyness is related to the scientist - the ray 5. And there could be an element of the diplomat in there - the ray 4 - wanting the field to come to an orderly resolution.

Although I've separated out the rays to give clarity to each, then do also work in harmonies.

Open

Hey Anatoly - sounds like you're having an awesome unfolding - happy for you

Hi Megha - your sharing is powerful, and a wonderful practical example of what I'm speaking about...

either capitulated ( passivity ) or gone the opposite route and straight up rebelled when there has been a significant difference of opinion. This time ,with some effort I have let things just be in a mess between us rather than be in a rush to resolve by using either of the strategies.

That's the point - rather than coming from the simple repetitive reaction, soften in and you start to touch the underlying source pain of the convolution - where the soul is stuck...

The Fear seems like a mass around my neck throttling me. Funnily enough ,I felt hands strangling me a while ago in meditation as well.( What was that ? )

I see past life karma - literally being throttled in some previous relationship engagement. So that's likely the cause of the relationship challenges - bouncing from one extreme to the other. Assuming so, regress right into the sense of that when you get the opportunity. Do you feel disempowered? If so, allow it, and fully express it. Do you feel rage? Do the same. The work to soften right through the feelings. Know this...

A more powerful controlling person could control your physicality and limit you that way. However, it is only ever our choose as to whether we feel powerless at a soul level - whether we retract from the situation.

I trust you'll empower yourself to come to Belgium - I think you'll get masses from it

Open

Phew - what a great week that was all round. I'll definitely be repeating the Virtual Retreat concept again in the future - although next time I feel to develop it as a standalone and more formalised with live video input. I'll be sitting with that and letting it manifest in the time ahead.

For this one, I thought it would be useful to wrap up by asking you to contemplate a few things...

1) Do you have any final qusestions?
2) Any observations you'd like to share?
3) Sit for a while and then contemplate, what are the key things you'll take from the week?

I look forwards to your sharings
PS - if you share things out in the open this way, it gives energy to your new realisations and helps them grow.

Open

Hi Anastasia - thanks for the warm words of reflection - it's a real pleasure and a privilege to be able to support people's journeys in this way - I look forwards to many more

Hi Dagmar - yes do enjoy the Breakthrough Breathing - when practiced consistently on a daily basis, it's sure to support lovely expansions - and see you in Belgium!

Open

Hi Everyone - it feels like it's been a tremendous success, both running the retreat here in La Palma and have you join in with some of the explorations across the web. I feel there have been some great inquiries going on, lots of inner confrontations and some wonderful breakthroughs - it's been deeply inspiring.

I felt to close today by returning right back to one of the opening questions our retreat began with.... "What is Your Orientation in Life?" Of course the question is quite open to your own interpretation, and it felt important for it to be that way, so as to encourage an exploration of what actually motivates you on a day to day basis. And most importantly, "where do you come from?"

What do I mean by this?

What I mean about "where do you come from", is where does your expression of self come from in any given situation? Most people are in a very reactionary pre-programmed state - they get up in the morning, repeat patterns they did yesterday and the day before, then slip into routines of expectation. In this kind of state, people are coming much more from the identity, which is owned within the system, and they don't really get that living sense of deepened divine freedom.

The Orientation I'm inviting, is instead to be continually softening and deepening into your deepest core of being. To get to know what this hallowed space feels like, how do you perceive it? Usually it comes with a great sense of well-being, expansion, timelessness, deep peace, and at times bliss. Although it can strengthen and wane throughout the day as activity merges from and upon it (like waves on an ocean), the key is to always work to be coming from this place, for it to be the background state, the canvass upon which the daily picture of life is painted.

How do you get there?

The kinds of meditations we've been conducting here during the retreat, and regularly on the site, are designed to both take you into this state, and to come from it more in life. So the regular practice of Breakthrough Breathing, which is essentially a modern day version of ancient pranic breathing, is designed to help you access this divine core of being and orientate yourself so you can keep coming from this. The Openhand Bow will also support the opening, especially if you've already been experiencing density or feel stuck in it. But of course it doesn't end there.

When you're touching the deep state of core beingness to some degree, then the soul will naturally flow from there - you're unique expression of your core being which dances and flows with a spectrum of characteristics depending on the landscape it's flowing into - basically the siutations in your daily life. It's of course completely magical as you set the soul free in this way. And you can facilitate more of this free flow of soul through chakra opening and attunement meditations. Bascially a chakra is a consciousness exchange point that allows your soul to flow through a particular density of being - say the physical or emotional or lower mind for example. So that's why I encourage the regular (ideally daily) practice of Chakra opening and Attunement.

As you do this though, be mindful that there will be plenty of places where the soul gets fragmented or 'stuck' within certain exchanges. Where you might touch on a sense of guilt or worthlessness for example. You've set the soul free, and now it's going to explore upto and into the boundaries of its own limitations - that's what the light of the soul does. But instead of ignoring, placating or burying this pain, we need to turn right into it and work with it just as soon as practicable. Ideally in the moment. But if not, then a short while later (at the latest the end of the day). For this you can use the Breakthrough Approach, which is to honour the truth of what to place, to express the tightness, but then to soften right into and through it with acceptance. You explore deeply into what was the attached need or what expression were you resisting? You work to touch once more the deep state of core beingness in it - that which doesn't need an outcome, or doens't even need the problem to go away. At the point you're so accepting of it, you'll already starting to open out back into the deep state of core being once more.

That's not the end of the story though. Because at this point, it becomes possible to integrate fragments of soul that were stuck in the drama. This part is essential for two main reasons: (1) it stops you having to keep repeating the same circumstances and recreating them! (2) you unleash new aspects of beingness which not only feel amazing, but unleash new creative expression into your life which then shapes life in unimaginable and profound ways. This final aspect then, is to be looking for, and feeling, a new sense of expression wanting to come through - as I outlined in the 7 rays above. These become the keys to new doorways of possibility.

Free Wheeling

So finally today, and for as much time in the days ahead you can commit to it, I would encourage you to spend time both deepening through breathing into your deep state core being, and also then taking off free-wheeling from this place. Simply set some time aside to be by yourself and speak out to the Universe, "Show Me!" Watch where the flow then wants to move you. It will either come as the flash landing of a higher knowing - a vision for example, or a pull through the heart to take off in a particular way. Then simply witness what you come to explore. What is your attention drawn to? Most importantly, explore how what you see makes you feel.

To give you an example, last night after I'd dropped the group off, I was feeling how best to relax and integrate after the work. A flash of inspiration came to go down to the beach. I found myself stretched out on the sand, watching the breaking rollers come in, clouds dancing across the sky and the orange red sun going down, all to my favourite music. I could feel the deep sense of peace at the core of everything, but with life dancing across the canvass. I was there for ages, it was simply divine.

What will you see?

Open

Greetings to All. The retreat here has ended now in La Palma - we dropped the group off at the airport around lunch time. It's been a powerful week. As I felt would be the case, because the group size was smaller, we went even deeper. There have been some marvellous breakthroughs. And it's clearly being reflected by what's going on in the virtual community - what a tremendous connection. So heart warming. And so inspirational to see you all confronting the density and working right in there. Just keep going, keep pushing, keep inquiring, keep unwinding. You'll find the light deeper still and it'll integrate through you.

These are special times indeed. It can be tough, yes. But simply magical too. I felt to send some vibes of encouragement through the ether with this Openhand old favourite..... "Lights will guide you home, and ignite your bones"...

In loving support always

Open

Hi Dagmar - wonderful to see you here again after Koln

Indeed a good deal of souls here who are star souls feel the loss of soul family which is often expressed as losing the sense of home, belonging or of not fitting in. That connection can be difficult here in this density. The key is to work to open up to the higher vibrations through meditation, like the ones we experienced in the work, and you'll start to pick up and integrate the feelings as an inner vibration until home starts to reside in you.

I would say as you do this more, then the physical home will manifest.

I here you're coming to the 5GATEWAYS "Living the Shift" gathering in Belgium - wonderful, that's just what the course is all about - how to embody higher dimensional expansion to manifest more from 5D here and now. We'll have a wonderful time for sure.

Wishing you well

Open

Hi Everyone - great having you tuned in. We're nearing completion here in La Palma. The crew had a wonderfully expansive day yesterday, walking through the Volcano and boat tripping with Pilot Whales. Yet plenty is still shifting and integrating in the background - so much energy moving. In the Volcano we created another portal and felt the presence of different star soul groups coming through. At one point I saw tall shimmering golden beings weaving in and out of the circle - it was simply amazing to feel them.

Anatoly - nice to see you, I loved your story, Especially this...

It is interesting that on the day of this trip i have seen interesting signs of the birds. One seemed to have flown itself against a kitchen window while my hair was being cut.  Another one (smaller and sings beautifully) somehow gotten inside my office/meditation studio. This is the first time it happened, must have gotten there through the chimney pipe. Very unusual. It pooped everywhere, especially on my laptop.  The amazing part is the bird must have knocked down the scrolls from Openhand 5 Gateways retreat 2 years ago and the first word i saw was 'Accepting'.  My Higher Self is trying to get through to me!

When birds poop on something, I've always found that good luck! (perhaps you're meant to come along to an event on the upcoming 5GATEWAYS tour )

Scott, what a lovely breakthrough - so glad the releasing meditation worked for you. It's so important we unravel those old relationship entanglements that limit the path forwards

Megha - what a simply lovely sharing of relationship entagelment unwinding - wonderful

Suggested Work for Day 6

Okay, so you've been doing all the tough work - digging deep and breaking through difficult karmic layers. It's far from easy. My heart goes out to you all There comes a point when you've been through the layers that you reach an appropriate time to pause - to stop digging and begin integrating the new beingness. What we're looking for now, are those nuggets of soul gold that got buried in the sediment of the stream. We've stirred up the cursty layers, broken them down and dispatched the density (if you've still more to do on that, think about some of the cleansing breathing exercises like the Openhand Bow or else deep consciousness bodywork). So now it's important to connect with those nuggets of soul that you've dug up. These will be new aspects of beingness that want to come through and express. Maybe more surrendered and accepting, maybe more willful, maybe more creative and magical, maybe more diplomatic and solution resolving.

In the Openhand perspective, the soul is comprised of 7 rays of consciousness, each with different qualities and characteristics. When you can allow them to flow through you and radiate outwards, then they'll manifest in the most extraordinary of ways - you're unleashing light into your life, and it draws to you more harmonious, successful and fulfilling circumstances. It's all about letting the light through. To do this is to watch for the emergent light as it wants to come through and fully express it, in whatever way feels appropriate - like moving to your favourite music or connecting out in nature - going to a new place that feel adventurous. All the while embodying what new energy wants to come through.

Sometimes this energy will be subtle and start with just a gentle vibration. I can recall being so surrendered during an attack once that with each new projection, the surrender deepened into a complete state of bliss. But it only began in the subtlest of ways.

To give you a sense of what these charactaristics are about, I've summarised them here below (I go into them deeply during the 5GATEWAYS work)...

Ray 1: purposeful creative will  (The "Leader") Ray 1 is the driving sense of purpose to create. It is the manifestation of the divine masculine principle throughout the universe. From the place of separation, it is that undeniable inner will to find and create a higher level of harmony both within ourselves and between all sentient beings. It causes us to challenge and break apart the status quo which may be holding us in a lower level of realisation. The Ray 1 inspires life’s motivational leaders.

Ray 2: surrendering unconditional love (The "Servant") Ray 2 initiates the impulse of unconditional love for life. It is the manifestation of the divinely feminine principle of surrendered acceptance throughout the universe. It is the empathising compassion that willingly embraces, does not judge nor need to change the inherent imperfection in all sentient life and situations. Ray 2 strongly inspires the selfless servants of life.

Ray 3: interpreting authentic reality (The "Interpreter") Ray 3 harnesses and processes higher abstract wisdom delivering it in a form to provide a clear interpretation of our current, authentic reality. In other words, it’s how we know what’s really real. People with strong Ray 3 influence notice the natural patterning in life bringing the formless into form in such a way that can be understood and appreciated by many. Ray 3 inspires life’s translators, creative artists and mathematicians.

Ray 4: harmonising through right resolution (The "Diplomat") Ray 4 is the divine rationalising energy which helps us find right resolution with our environment and other sentient life. It is the ray impulse which blends passion with compassion. It provides the discernment to confront unjust situations in a non judgmental way. Its purpose is to break apart the lower harmony to find a more equitable higher one. People with highly active Ray 4 tend to be life’s diplomats, politicians and teachers.

Ray 5: realising abstract higher wisdom (The "Scientist") The Ray 5 enables us to hold the infinite complexities of the universe as pure knowing within our beingness. This ‘science’ is abstract, all encompassing and rather than realised, is more sensed, as an art form, like poetry in perpetual motion. Ray 5 enables us to attune to the universal flow and harness it for co-creative exploration, deeper understanding and further evolution. The Ray 5 animates life’s scientists and creative business leaders.

Ray 6: yearning self expression (The "Idealist") Ray 6 inspires us stay continually focussed on our life’s purpose: to realise, unfold and express who we really are. It generates commitment and devotion to our cause, radiating our soul in all its brilliant colour. The Ray 6 provides the unquenchable driving force to express our innate qualities and inspire others to shine their inner light too. Humanity’s philosophers, spiritual leaders and performing artists are all driven by the Ray 6 influence.

Ray 7: shaping synchronistic magic (The "Magician") Ray 7 provides the ingredient of pure magic on our life’s journey. If we are able to master our inner distortions and pause just long enough in the drama of life, then we can open up to spontaneous, synchronistic and co-creative magic. Thereby we catalyse and initiate the surrounding field for the maximum benefit and upliftment of all. In this way, Ray 7 inspires life’s ‘magicians’ and entrepreneurs.

So what we do at this stage of the work, is look for characteristics like these, but crucially expressed in your own unique way - that might begin as a subtle feeling that wants to build. The important thing is then to open the space for that new consciousness to come through into your daily life.

So I'll leave you all today with this inquiry and a song I felt to share...

Let your true colours shine through - they are beautiful, like a rainbow!

Hi Anastasia,

It's synchronistic that you bring up the subject of the Annunaki here - since they've been responsible for much of the programming that's gone on and people now need to unwind. What you describe does indeed bear some striking resemblances with my experiences of the Annunaki. Although I can recall them also from way back before Sirius where they had a more organic nature - It would be nice to think they are returning to that somewhat now.

The Annuaki were the architects of this reality construct humanity is living in - a highly controlled and synthetic system, imposed on the consciousness with highly advanced energtic engineering - particularly of the genetics and creating energy systems to control the earth vibration. They were very much the elites of Sirius and also here on Earth. Mostly they acted from the field and through humans by thought and energy control. And since they are a hive consciousness, it can feel like being consumed within a powerful cloud. But that also makes them brittle - if you don't allow yourself to be overwhelmed by it, but play back the distortion, if you're accurate and it lands, then it immediately ripples through the entire hive. A seed of doubt will unravel their reality.

Around 2012, I was acting as a part of the higher dimensional team tasked with connecting with them and journeying with them, eventually regressing them through their story here since Sirius. Their grasp of truth was highly advanced, and many times they attemtpted to bend me to their viewpoint on things - such as the current reality 'healed' for the 'good of all hmans' (but not all sentient life), and still controlled with free energy, geoengineering and the like. They were exceptionally powerful healers, except they took it upon themselves to heal, but missing the crucial self-realisation aspect - so they maintained the patriarchal authority.

We were eventually able to regress them through their journey, leading to a full breakdown and realignment. After Sirius they'd felt 'abandoned by God', hence they began to manipulate reality to their own agenda - essentially to recreate the reality the'd lost. To some, like the Orions, they became "God". That's in effect what they created here on Earth today, with their influence stretching into every aspect of society, religion and spirituality - always bending the truth slightly so as to control. During the regression and supported self-realisation, they shifted in consciousness and peeled off the matrix. It was at that point there was a marked and clear opening in the field, prior to which it had felt very much locked down. It's become much easier for souls to break free of the influence now - although of course there are other groups still engaged with whom they were allied - the greys and the reptilians, not to mention the human groups that consciously and unconsciously worked with them.

To give a sense of the kind of energy in human form, this clip from the matrix provides a useful reflection. But don't get too fixated on the form, see it more as a metaphor...

Hey Everyone - how's the processing going? Reading your responses, it sounds amazingly deep! I had to tune out here yesterday, so much energy has been moving through me, both from the group, your processing and the field too. Something has shifted in me here - I've experienced a fair leap in feeling people's energy and of the surrounding field. It's been quite overwhelming at times, but fortunately now the new sense of being is integrating. When I sit, I can feel being as a Blue Sphere with the Torodial Flow moving all around and through. At times it picks up on different flows and agitates or amplifies them to accelerate the flow through them. But it does mean you have to work through the dense stuff too. It's another shift. I know it will settle and integrate and be greatly beneficial to the work here. 💙

The group here have come to a great place, having processed loads with energy now turning to the way forwards. So that's what I'd like to encourage in you all now. When you've done a deep degree of processing, it's important to move through and out of it too - to come into a new stability. So when you've come to the bottom of what you've been working with energetically, now it's time to turn your attention to unleashing the new - especially the new aspects of beingness that want to come through.

To assist that, it's important to start to break down any reminant neural pathways that have created limiting behaviourisms in the old consciousness. So you'll have developed fixed behaviour patterns that placate the pain of the dense energy you've lived with. For example what we consume so as to block out certain feelings, or allowing others to override our truth because there's a concern about confrontation and what that means. So programs of passivity and soul compromise can embed. Or else the other end of the spectrum - rebeliousness against what a truly authentic response would be. These form fixed neural pathways in the brain of how we tend to react to given situations. A lot will have developed from childhood and teenager years forming layers called the "Inner Child" and "Teenager", which I've written about in the book 5GATEWAYS

Once you've 'dug up the roots' of deep source pain and karmic energy from the processing, these neural pathways are ready to be broken down. Essentially by watching any conditioned reactions to the moment, you can get inside the loop and interrupt it. Take a look at this video about neural nets...

When you touched the deep rooted attachement to particular needs, wants and desires, through the Breakthrough Approach of going deep into them and expressing them fully - becoming as-one with them - then you're ready to break down the neural nets and the addictive behaviourisms that contol people's lives. Here's the Openhand Approach to that covered in the "Living the Shift - 5GATEWAYS" work...

Sit in meditation, relax, breathe, and then begin to regress into the situations that you know are reactive or programmed, where behaviour patterns in relationships or work are limiting or victimising you. You'll know these by the tightness they create - the sense of frustration or limitation. In the imagery see whose involved and what the typical patterns are.

Once you've been doing this a little while, feel into the body where the tightness is. The more sensitive you get, you can actually start to feel the patterns in the brain. Once you're feeling the tightness, now start to 'open out through it'. This could be done by visualising something opening - a flower for example or the sun coming up across the ocean. Or you could visualise dissolving the patterns by bringing the heat of the sun to them, or perhaps a cooling breeze blowing through them. Another great way is to put resonant emotive music on and dance or move to opening up, being as naturally expressive as possible.

Afterwards, take yourself back into meditation, now viusalise the behaviourisms that tend to take place, and see yourself breaking them, interrupting them and opening a space for more authentic beingness to come through (which I'll go into tomorrow). Here's the essential thing - when those patterns next arise in your life, you have to work to get inside them and interrupt them. To break them down. This may take several or more attempts, but if you're committed, you can do it.

To give you an example, I recall in the early days a particular family situation where someone was constantly projecting judgment and negativity on me. They didn't like the changes I'd made in my life and wanted to constrain me in the old reality. So there was a lot of projectional judgment. In the beginning, the natural expression of truth kept arising through me causing me to then challenge their viewpoint. Except that it didn't achieve anything or go anywhere - it simply perpetuated a reinforcing cycle. So I asked the Universe "show me". To which a scene from the matrix came to mind of Neo stopping bullets. I instantly understood that the bullets represented the energy of the person, and that with a determined internal commitment, I could simply stop the 'bullets' and not even need to respond. By interrupting reactionary neural pathways, in the moment they were activating, they quickly broke down, which opened a space for a more auathentic response to come through. In this case, just to listen without even responding. Subsequently this then developed into other authentic responses such as asking the person a question about their energy in the moment, causing them to explore their own old energy.

So this is what I would encourage people to explore once the deep processing has integrated - actually interrupting old behaviour patterns so as to allow the new to come through.

This is deep alchemy work folks!

Hi Everyone tuning in - how marvellous it is to feel you all

Yesterday was another tremendous day here, that took a whole different turn than expected. After a free and relaxing afternoon break, in the evening the flow guided us to gather in the sauna, which although initially was intended as a light hearted connection, quickly assumed a Sweat Lodge orieintation, that was tremendsouly cathartic and healing. Many deep energies came up, that had me processing the field all through the night.

I could feel more of the "Black Snake" energy releasing through the field, through us. Following which, I felt myself becoming as a Blue Sphere with Gaia. In the higher chakras I could clearly feel the embodiment of the 5th density. It was deeply expansive and serene. Sinply beautiful. But in the lower, in my stomach region, I felt the lower densities rumbling away, as if building to some big release. When you feel that kind of empathy, it becomes important to work with it - dance and movement for example, power walking in nature - a deep sense of connection to Gaia and being a part of that strengthening flow.

So if you're tuning in, then you might be feeling some of these things. In which case, I have dedicated this day on the retreat to personal processing and integration through breakthwork and connection to nature. For the breathwork we're using the Openhand Bow and also the chakra attunement meditation. The bow is shared freely in this video, although you can also download the guided meditation if you wish. See how things move you and feel free to share if you'd like a reflection. Much love to all

Openhand Bow Guided Meditation
Chakra Opening and Attunement

This video seems highly appropriate because I was seeing caterpillars all day yesterday - feels like Gaia is progressively transmutating herself...

So today, day 3, I felt to invite you all joining to explore into "Poverty Consciousness". Lots of people have it in various ways and it does limit ones ability to manifest a fruitful life - so let's get into it.

The usual way spiritual work considers poverty consciousness is that it stems from lack of trust - not believing that your worthy of support by the universe or that the universe will fully support you. This is indeed one central theme. And if such lack of trust hampers you, then I'd encourage you to work to build it first in small ways. Which would be to deviate as much a possible from the usual routines and to "free wheel". Essentially you give yourself a completely open space, relax, meditate and then ask of the Universe, "show me!" You then take off just following the higher knowing and the heartfelt pull. You're watching for "treasure" to appear on your pathway, in terms of signs and synchronicity. The more you do it, the more such treasure appears. You start to embody the feeling of being supported. You can then start to bring more and more of this approach into your life - letting the choices you make come more from this expanded state. If you're prepared to let go of what you think you really 'should' be doing, then the flow will create a more fruitful and abundant experience, including the resources to support your expression. So take an hour or so out today and just free wheel looking for 'treasure' - then do please share here on the forum.
Also explore this article with 7 Ways for Unlocking the Power of Higher Mind

But there's still much more to poverty consciousness to explore... It  boils down to attachment to old reality constructs, relationships and general living situations - did you really move on?

Everything is energy - consciousness, streams of light. And so if you're still bound into your past in some way, if you still haven't fully let go of old reality constructs, then your energy might still be wound up in them. What this means is that you don't have sufficient energy to create future-landing-now. Hence it creates internal confusion, frustration and disatisfaction - the mainstream of your soul is yearning to create a new, feels like it ought to be doing, and yet the new reality or the resources to support it don't seem to manifest properly. It's likely you still have energy hooked into the past, which can lead to lack of trust, doubt and then a general sense of poverty consciousness.

It's all about being able to fully let go of the past. Particularly relationships and living circumstances that don't serve. Especially if those relationships relate yo you are you once were, not as you now feel to be. You have to let go, and this might bring up saddness and grief. That's okay. As you confront the grief of letting go, you'll likely go into a sense of loss. But loss is always a doubled sided coin. If you're truly letting go, then the energy of the old construct will come back to you, which can now create in the new way, abundantly and fruitfully.
Here's an exploration on Effectively Confronting the Grief of Loss

Yesterday I took people deep into meditation and on a journey through space-time-continuum. I would encourage you all to do the same one, because it was highly effective. Specifically we experienced the grief of loosing people and situations around the Sirius Breakdown. So here's the meditation....

First use the Ascension meditation from earlier in the thread. Get yourself in a deeply relaxed and expanded space. The see yourself travelling through time and space as a small boat. We used this track below by Ashana to create the sense of that. As you journey forwards, look backwards along the stern of your boat and see your energy drifting as streams of light behind you back through the various circumstances of your life. If particular relationships and situations were important to you, then recall those and see the imagery of them. Be clear to feel if they're pulling some way internally. Now feel the energy of them unwinding from the past. Be clear it doesn't serve you as a soul to be bound to anyone, any particular time or circumstance. The soul is meant to be a free flowing stream of light. If others come into your life, they're still meant to  be sovereign, whole and complete too. It's all about moving away from co-dependency and therefore limitation. So look deep into these situations and feel the energy unwinding. Be aware that it may generate some grief, and that's entirely okay - but keep going anyway, especially if you want to let go of poverty consciousness.

Now see and feel the energy returning to your being. See this energy begin to fill the sails of your sailing boat. Now turn to face forwards. See the energy reaching out into the distance already starting to create a new. All the while, feel the wind gathering in your sails and pushing you along. Afterwards you can express this feeling in movement and dance. Feel the energy building in and around you.

Now in your life, watch for the "treasure", where signs and synchronicity are encouraging you, sending love and support, or guidance to take new steps. Celebrate the abundance of this energy around you as it appears. Let trust begin to build that it will carry you and support you in the ways that bring your soul alive. Thus, any sense of poverty consciousness will progressively dissolve. You deserve to live an abundant and fruitful life!

Express this feeling to your favourite inspiring music. Here's one that comes to mind with the sailing theme...

This is what we worked on yesterday here in La Palma and it was highly effective. Lots of energy of the past was unwound. What will you experience? Do explore the meditation and share. I very much welcome you all tuning in. And let's be clear, society is literrally awash with resources. There is no reason at all that you shouldn't get all you need to support your authentic and aligned creations.

PS - when I have some more time, I'll offer some more personal intuitions and reflections.

Much love

Wow - I'm simply bowled over by the sharings. So wonderful to have you all tune in

We've just had an extremely deep and powerful day here.  Because it's a relatively small group, what I predicted in advance has certainly come true - that we're going even deeper, which I believe is what this retreat is all about - but it is also clearly connecting tremendously well with you in the ether, which I greatly welcome

An issue jumped out earlier in the thread here from Rich - about poverty consciousness. Usually this would be due to a trust issue, but in journeying today, a whole new level of it was uncovered and confronted, which was tremendously healing. What I feel to do tomorrow, is to suggest a meditation for you all the explore - inspired by the journey we had. So I felt to leave you with the contemplation of poverty consciousness now, and address it tomorrow  with you.

We're all pretty pooped here - it was very deep today. So I'll love you and leave you and tune in first thing tomorrow, where I'll share the journey/exploration/meditation.

Till soon, much love

It's Day 2 proper of our virtual retreat - I can feel plenty tuning in. You are most welcome

Today in La Palma, we'll be working specifically on bringing the Shadow side - the False Self - to the surface so as to feel it as an energy that it may be unwound and released. I invite all on the virtual retreat to work in a similar way.

It the Openhand Approach, what we observe, is that the soul gets fragmented as it comes into density through the inner layers. So for example it will fragment in the fourth density due to karma (Sirius for example); in the 3rd density at the level of the intellect, perhaps due to inner child conditioning by parents and school; in the second density, the emotional plane, perhaps due to the breakdown of some relationships - when you first fell in love for example but the relationship boke down; or in the 1st density, the physical plane, due to physical challenges you might have had - illness, injury, or abuse, including sexual. In these such circumstances, where the soul is not 'realising of The One', in other words, where it 'forgets' its inviolable connection to the One, then that's where it can identify with the circumstances of reality and fragment into it. You then form attachments and eddy currents of energy build around these anchors. This in turn causes some degree of pain and tightness, which society then tries to 'cure' by taking the pain away - something to consume or distract with. These eddy currents of conditioning and the behaviourisms that then arise from them become the "False Self", the ego - essentially the identity that most people live within.

What we need to do is to separate out the shadow side false self, so it can be seen and felt. We work to reclaim nuggets of 'soul gold', fragments caught in the bed of the river of life. We can call it 'soul retrieval'.

Here's the sort of approach we'll be using today...

We'll be applying something like the Openhand Breakthrough Breathing, which you can download here... Openhand Breakthrough Breathing Technique Then using the breath, you start to feel the energy body of the False Self and also experiences of the soul. The False Self will be felt as tightness, discomfort and nausea. The Soul and the True Self as a feeling of 'rightness', expansiveness, timelessness, interconnectivity, surrender and peace, also will, courage and strength.

Now feel into the density of the shadow side False Self. Touch the tightness of the energy inside. Then animate it. Meaning to visualise it - what does it look like? Is it organic, metallic, what colour is it? What does it smell like? Then start to express it in sound - make the sound that eminates from it - sing, shout, speak it out into your environment. Then express it through a position or movement. So you might adopt the foetal position for example, bury your head in a cushion, and then start to move with it. Put on some music which captures the sense of feeling of the shadow side.

When the shadow side is now fully active, soften right into it. Surrender and accept it to the degree you don't need it to go away. This is what I'll be encouraging in the guidance. Once you've accepted it so much that you don't need it to go away, paradoxically, you're already reaching the point where you are free of the attachment. At this point, it's like you open a doorway through the experience and become simply present with it - you are becoming the Presence of the One - that which you truly are.

At this point, you can start to unwind the energy of the False Self that you've uncovered. You could use deep breathing for this, powerful movement to music, The Openhand Bow, a strong walk in nature, energetic dance. A sauna would likely help - which is what we'll be doing here too. Feel the old energy unwinding and leaving you.

Finally, start to touch and feel the sense of new energy wanting to come through - the fragment of soul which has been released. How does it now want to express differently? Perhaps it is more surrendered, perhaps more expressive and courageous. Especially watch for the synchronicities that start to reflect in your environment about how to express as your True Self. Then you'll start to integrate the new aspect of self.

Wishing you all well with that. Do ask any questions that come up and share your experiences. I'll happily offer reflections.

Much love to all

Hi Mark - yes, all kinds of respiritory issues and problems can relate back to Sirius Karma - my intuition tells me that was the case with you.

Hi Megha - yes persecution for speaking your truth is another karmic condition of Sirius. Which will have manifested here on Earth at other times too. Also not being heard in family - a big one. Many lightworkers with a different orientation to Sirius incarnated there in families, so would have felt quite odd and out of place. Yes Megha, I'd encourage you to be as much of yourself as possible - a powerful purpose

Allow me to share this one for anyone hiding their light because of the challenges of not being heard and the consequent persecution. I'm there with you...

Hi Anastasia - thankyou from the bottom of the Openhand heart for expressing your Sirius experiences. Knowingly or not, there are plenty here in this community and in the world carrying that karma. In a nutshell, here's what happened...

120 million years ago, there were communities on planets of the constellation Sirius very similar to those on Earth. Nibiru was just such a planet around Sirius C. The inhabitants had learned how to manipulate "Free" energy but didn't realise the disatrous impact this had on the configuration of matter (nothing is free!). It made the system unstable. It was a part of the reason the consciousness of Sirius B began to shift, before exploding through a White Dwarf Ascension. This obliterated the communities in the constellation and especially around Sirius C. Many carry the karma of that. Some would feel like the very air within their lungs simply diappeared as the molecular structure broke down. It's one reason humanity manifested the gas chambers of the Second World War to recreate this karmic experience. And as the physical matter tore apart, then people were literally torn apart too.

Many of the population then, as souls, experienced being 'cast adrift' in space, 'abandoned by God'. And it took some considerable time to reclaim them back to the light. It's also where others went onto the shadow side, disconnected from the usual cycle of reincarnation and became "Opposing Consciousness" - configuring reality to their own specific (distorted) agenda - which becamse to re-engineer the society and genetics they lost - this especially happened with the ruling elite - the Annunaki (Siritus C is known as "Anu"). It has been the Annunaki who've led the Intervention on Earth and have been responsible for establishing the synthetic reality here, dating back to the time of Atlantis some 250,000 years ago.

There was a whole team of lightworkers dispatched to the system in advance of this - I was one of them and can recall the sense of the experiences very clearly. We knew that some powerful breakdown was going to happen. We knew the way forwards was Ascension. But either our messages went unheaded or were misunderstood. To many, what transpired would have felt like abject failure. I know that's something I've had to deal with personally. Unusally on this Openhand Retreat, the group size is half what it would usually be. I know that I manifested this, because of a latent filtering that would have preferred to 'save' a lager number. The Blood Moon and the retreat here remanifested those experiences so I could recalibrate in them.

The Sirius circumstances were indeed very traumatic. And many carry them with them today. They will come up in a big way. In fact it is my knowing that the shattering of the population of Syria here in the Middle East is also a karmic reflection of what took place.
I've documented the Sirius Connection in the Openhand Book DIVINICUS

The recent Bladerunner Film brings up a lot of the Sirius feelings for me. I often play it in groups to stimulate that karma. If you feel like it might be relevant to you, take yourself into your own space, turn off the lights, play the video below and express to the music. Or find some music that aggitates that sense in you and move to it. Let it come up. And then crucially, accept it and let yourself emerge from it. What music then do you feel to play to help to soul integrate and emerge?

Maybe something like the Gayatri Mantra will help you softly emerge from that?

Do share your Sirius experiences and karma with me if you feel you have them.

Much love

Wow - lots moving here. We just completed the first day and essentially I had people exploring in relation to those three questions.

What we're working to do in the Openhand Approach here, is to start to highlight the shadow self and unpack it. Imagine the soul being fragmented into internal density, which will have caused pain and tightness, physically, emotionally mentally. For example feeling like you don't belong here, or who you are is not truly valued. So what happens is that the being tries to placate the pain - do things to cover over it. Seeking attention as a replacement for love, friendship as a replacement for sense of isolation. Progressively you build a false life that is always doing things to contain, placate or subdue the pain of the false self - that's how society is built. It temporarily distracts from this pain through distraction or deferral rather than dealing with it.

So the way to unravel this, is to acknowledge it and then freely express it. You locate where it is within your being - where the contraction is and deeply express it. Making a sound that expresses it for example, or a movement, or viusalising it's colour and form. By becoming deeply intimate with it, expressing it and then totally accepting it, to the degree you don't need it to go away, starts to dig up the roots of the attachment. As you become present in it, then the fragment of soul that was stuck there starts to reintegrate and the density unwinds.

Take regret Scott (and anyone else who regrets a choice or how their life to a certain path). Regress yourself right back into the situation and feel the inner contraction in relation to it. If you want to ball, cry and wail, then go right ahead. Then right in the midst of it, work to know this...

At the time of the incident, you were only ready to make the choice you made. You couldn't have done it any other way (even though there might have been other possibilities). Your inner configuration of consciousness creates the exact reflective conditions to experience that choice. And if it didn't happen in those circumstances, then you would have created different ones to express the same choice. You didn't come here to make choices. They were already always going to happen. You came here to figure out WHY you made the choice you did. In understanding the dynamic that makes the choice, you get to realise what outcome it was you thought you needed. Maybe for example (Scott) you associated an unattainable person with your Twin Flame. They were always going to be inattainable because you needed that to realise they are merely a reflection to find your own completeness within? So your soul made them purposefully unavailable. If this resonates, accept it, then visualise the person, but feel the energy they represent already within you. This will help dissolve the attachment and the sense of regret.

Hi Megha - with pointlessness, again, regress into the situations that activated the feeling and let yourself fully express pointlessness. The Universe sprang into being without intention. If there was intention, there would have to have been a being to have that. And where did this being come from? You can postulate the entirety of the Universe from the infinite potential of pure presence. But assuming there was no 'mind of God' that created it all, then there was no intention, there was no 'point'. When you come deeply into presence, you find you can accept the Universe to the degree that there is no point to it. It just is. I suggest working into pointlessness to accept this.

Paradoxically, when you really touch this space, then you're in the infinite potential, where anything can now happen. Be in the pointlessness until you completely accept it. Then let your intuition put on a piece of music that wants you to emerge from the pointlessness and simply express. Let free flowing action emerge.

Greetings Julie. I'd say there's a reflection for you in Megha's sharing. You said...

have trouble with "a perceived proper implementation" of movement forward.  It's too fast; too slow; not right.  I don't know what I'm doing.  I ask "show me".  The response seems to be to maintain a passivity, though I don't know why.  So, I sit with my passivity - like a lump of coal for Christmas.  Doesn't seem too exciting.

Who needs it to be exciting? The One in you (who you really are) doesn't need anything to be exciting. The One in you could sit for an eternity in stillness. Yet, when you touch the deep presence of not needing anything, then something can arise. But it's essential not to then control this, or else the expression will cease to be authentic. So soften into the acceptance of 'not exciting'. So you could be in that for an eternity. Make the time to literally sit for an hour or so, breaking through any boredom or need for it to be a certain way. Touch the deep emptiness inside - you'll likely have to break through plenty of layers to access this.

Then put on a piece of stirring music, that begins quite gently. Let the movement simply animate you. Here's one that came to mind. See how you feel to express to it...

See how you get on with that folks!

Great to have you along for the ride.

I just felt to tune in during the lunch break here. Powerful sharing indeed Anastasia, my heart goes out to you  - the Sirius Ascension 120 million years ago is coming up here too - so this evening, I'll share a perspective on it which will likely be having an impact on your experience. I highly believe that the Blood Wolf Full Moon will have kicked things off like this for people.

In the meantime, I'd like to pose three questions for everyone whose tuning in, for you to contemplate. I suggest you use a note book to jot some notes down, as we're doing here...

1. What is motivating you right now? as in what is engaging you in your relationships, jobs and general living circumstances? What's driving your experiences, and what are the underlying desires? (that may either be aligned or misaligned).
2. What blockages are coming up? so when you look at all aspects of your life, specifically what disharmony are you experiencing? (which will be coming from an inner blockage manifesting into the outer circumstances).
3. What is your Orientation in LIfe? In other words, what do you perceive is your underlying sense of purpose guiding your life?

Work to be as honest, authentic and real as possible. What you're experiencing doesn't have to align with what you think your motivations ought to be!

Okay everyone, our 'Virtual Retreaters', so nice to see and feel you in the ether.

The moon was strong last night, did you feel it? For me it moved the emotional body quite strongly, and there were lots of feelings of the "Pain of Existence" - why are we here, why are we doing all this, what's the point? Who was feeling this? - I can imagine plenty of you do from time to time.

But the Universe has an underlying point - if you look at what it's doing, it's bringing light into the darkness. And at a soul level, you are that expression of light. So if you're connected to the source within, and flowing with it, then in your authenticity, you will most likely have that yearning to express the light - which is probably why you're here also in this retreat.
Here's a Viewpoint on Breaking Through the Pain of Existence

With the Full Blood Moon, I didn't subscribe at all to the widespread idea that it was some kind of Ascension portal - especially if it's blocking out the sun and pulling on the emotional body. My sense of it was that it was more activational of inner density (which has happened to people here on the retreat already). I felt a lot of grey energy around, fleets of Orions, looking to realign and leave this place, which actually of course is a great sign. So up on the Volcano yesterday, that's what our portal was initiating. It was quite heftly energetic work though, because of the configuration of the moon, and what I sense is, that as the moon now wanes, the strength of the ascending shifts of energy will greatly increase. Toward the end of the week, it will likely feel like a huge lift.

I would encourage you all to process the density first though - see it as an opportunity to work through anything that might be holding you.

Where Grey energy  might be appearing in your field, (you can read about the Orions and who they are here... Liberation of the Orions...Dealing with "Grey" Energy in Your Field) you'll notice it by the sense of a feeling of depression, hopelessness and pointlessness. If you recognise that, it can greatly help to realise... IT IS NOT YOU! Often it can be entities and their energy in and around your field. But if you are feeling that way, it is likely because you might have a degree of this questioning yourself.

I put it to you that as you keep aligning with the light in you, as you strengthen the reconnection to the source, this energy will ultimately leave you. We will experience that this week for sure.

What I suggest you do to begin then, if you have any of this energy in your field, just relax and soften inside, know your inviolable connection to the source, know that you are surrounded and supported by the angels. And that as you realign, then you encourage any depressive Grey energy around you to do the same.

With this in mind, I encourage you all to take some time out, about 30 minutes, and then conduct this meditation below. It's the first meditation I'll be doing with the group here on La Palma. You can listen to it free online, or download it for a small sum. And do share your experiences that you're having, so that I can offer some intuitive reflections...

Wonderful! What a lovely response and a pleasant surprise - I took the group out today up to the top of the Volcano, connecting with "Isla Bonita" - the soul of the island and creating a portal of connection for us to work within.

A couple of key things came up: we could feel a contraction in the sacrum region and also around the head. Since our last trip here, there's been increased tourism which can clearly be felt, but also grey energy releasing through the island. We also felt the base wanting to become more active - potentially representing the volcano. So we opened those channels up and helped the energy flow. After a cold and cloudy start to the day, now the sun is shining brilliantly - it's beautiful. 🙂

I'll begin the day tomorrow with some suggested meditations and inquiry - let's see how it all unfolds.

It's an absolute pleasure having you all on board.

And tomorrow is the eclipse and full wolf blood moon - sure to be highly activational.

Till soon.

Just came across this great quote, which seemed entirely fitting to kick off our Virtual Retreat...

“If you feel like you don't fit into the world you inherited it is because you were born to help create a new one.”

Hi Everyone out there in the Openhand Virtual Community. It's a great time to be tuning in this week - the veils are thin out here on the Volcanic Island of La Palma - so I felt to freely open the space and have you tune in. I'll be suggesting daily meditations and then invite you to share the inquiries that you've got coming up. I'll tune in and offer some intuitive guidance - a great opportunity and a very special Blood Wolf Moon to kick it all off!

I do have the sense that we'll see some ripples around the planet this week.

See you in the ether.

Do let me know here below if you intend to tune in. We can commence the bridge!
