We had a deeply cleansing and clearing day here in Mullumbimby yesterday. Everyone was feeling a great deal lighter, integrated and expanded as a result. Today we move into the 3rd stage of the Openway spiritual compass, which is about 'opening up for beingness'. You've created an open internal space, now its time to attune to authentic sense of the soul coming through. It's when you shine this light, that true alchemy transforms your life, elevating you progressively to the New Paradigm of Being. What's that all about?

'Open for Beingness' - soften through tightness into pure presence; unleash ever more authentic qualities of soul and step into Right Action.

• By opening through blockages and source pain, you expand into the tightness they generate, dissolve them and begin to access the 'void' – a crystal-clear place of pure presence in the background of activity – our True Self. It feels like infinite peace and acceptance – awesome okayness, pure “isness”. From the infinite potential of pure presence, authentic beingness will simply arise. Attune deeply to these feelings by applying yourself to full energetic, mental, emotional and physical expression of this naturally arising beingness. Give yourself completely to “Right Action” – a sense of ‘rightness’, which is totally aligned with the natural flow of the universe, leading to resilient, fulfilling, successful and joyful living.

You've got to confront and break down the conditioned thought forms and behaviours by interrupting them. Now that you dissolved the activating source pain, it becomes ever easier to open an internal space through the density. Progressively you start touching the Void of Infinite Potential. It's then a case of just allowing beingness to arise and trusting that as it does, it will furnish the answers to life's challenges and conundrums.

In the Openhand Approach, we use the framework of the Seven Rays of Consciousness to look for and attune to new aspects of beingness. These are...

• Ray 1: purposeful creative will 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 here's the invitation for today...

- Contemplate what typical oudated patterns of behaviour are happening right now in your life.
- Regress into the situations by visualising them in as much detail as possible.
- Feel deeply into any source pain that acitvates, contemplate what you think you needed from the situation, let it go, completely accept without needing to change, and work to soften into the Void of Presence
- now work into the density and unwind it through deep breathing and movement to emotive music
- find the place of infinite potential, of awesome okayness
- now visualise the behaviourisms that have emanated in your life from these distortions of consciousness. See what's been going on and work to break the patterns down in your mind. See yourself interrupting them.
- Now open a space for more authentic beingness to come through. What ray of consciousness (see above) can you feel wanting to come through instead? (it could be several).
- What sense of new expression of beingness can you feel instead?
- Express and move with that sense.
- Now when situations happen where you recognise the old consciousness could take over, catch yourself in the moment, soften, open up, and make space for the new sense of beingness to come through. Let it animate your expression instead.

Don't necessarily expect that you'll get this straight away. It takes times and commitment to catch yourself in the moment and break the patterns. But if you persist, it will steadily happen, which becomes deep alchemical change. And in terms of the new aspects of beingness wanting to come through, if you're unsure of what they are, simply ask "show me" out to the Universe and watch for the reflective signs and synchronicity pointing the way.

Above all, enjoy!
