Okay, no one's responded yet, but I do feel people tuning in. So I'll continue to share from the retreat and encourage your exploration/inquiry.

By applying the various Openhand meditations yesterday, including the Ascension Meditation, the Breakthrough Breathing, Soulmotion, and various spontaneous explorations of reality, the group reached a very connected, open and expanded space come the end of the day. Also being out here in the rainforest helped the heart open to the resonance of mother nature. What are you favourite locations? How much time do you manage to get out and connect in nature? It's surely a powerful way to the deeper soulful connection. Out here I just love the call of the birds . What does it for you?

Once the mainstream of soul becomes active, people often wonder why it dissipates so quickly. They might go on a retreat for example and feel deeply connected, only for those expansive feelings of unconditional love to dissolve once they go back to 'reality' (to the illusion!). Here's where the crux of the Openhand work is cratfted to pay dividends. We acknowledge that when the mainstream of soul becomes active in you, it's rather like a hot air balloon rising to the source within. No doubt it's a great feeling, BUT, it also will pull on source pain and karmic 'tethering'. So inner density will come to the surface, and it's utterly essential that you develop your process for working with this. Otherwise the density just consumes you again.

So this leads to the stage 2 of the Openway process...

'Open through Blockages' - confront and unwind activating blockages; integrate fragments of soul releasing from the density.

• As you increasingly attune to the mainstream of the soul within, subconscious blockages, tightness and karmic trauma are activated, felt as constriction, tightness and source pain. Become as-one with these experiences by completely honouring and expressing them. Work to realise either as a knowing or feeling, what the limitation was all about. Accept them to the extent that you don’t need them to go away. Once fully accepted, use breathing, movement, visualisations and emotive music to unwind the inner restrictions. Allow the fragment of soul to integrate by feeling your completeness in the situation.

So the work I would suggest today for you to apply this aspect of the process is as follows...

Sit in meditation.
Contemplate a situation in life right now that pushes your buttons
Feel the pain it creates inside, physical, emotional, mental
Completely honour the pain by expressing it
Animate the pain in as much detail as possible: what does it look like? What's the form - metallic/organic etc What sound does it want to make? Then to adopt a position that amplifies the pain.

Now work to completely accept the pain without needing it to go away.
You completely and totally surrender into it by honouring it.

Once you've completely accepted it, you've become "as-one" with it.
Now visualise/feel opening a doorway through it. You soften right through as "The One".
You open out through and around it.

Now you're stating to up-root and dig-up the source pain, because it can no longer hold.
Next, by movement, expression and animation, you give wings to that aspect of soul that now wants to come through. What piece of music could help you empower to that new feeling? At this point, you're now retrieving that aspect of soul that was stuck in the source pain. You're reintegrating a priceless aspect of yourself.

It will help enormously to have a mirroring reflection, to help you dig into those subconscious blindspots. So if you'd like some intuitive higher dimensional help in pinpointing the issues, do feel free to ask.

I wish you well in the inquiry
