If you ever feel unsafe, threatened, helpless, trapped, isolated, depressed or lost,
this course is for you.
Deep resilience is the result of embodying your human nature fully. This includes the embracing the shadows and wounds left in you by life, and fully accessing the power and wisdom of your spiritual nature. Authentic embodiment depends on establishing functional pathways between mind, body and Consciousness. Then the courage, clarity and power of your Spiritual Heart become available into your daily life. This course will show you how to make that possible. As the defensive pathways with which you have been protecting your wounds soften, new pathways of wholeness can access and embody your deeper power and wisdom. The vulnerabilities of your biological nature will no longer obscure the Invulnerability of your Spiritual Nature.

Traumatic residue is crystallised in your sensory-motor nerves. This crystallisation takes time, and practice, to dissolve. The practices of this course both soften and recalibrate neuromuscular tissue. Over time, with regular practice, your whole body will be recalibrated towards integrity and wholeness, providing you with a deep, embodied resilience. Because of the binary nature of the sensory-motor nerves your perception also will be transformed. Learned habits of protection and projection, both perceptual and behavioural, will be replaced by a more wholesome, fulfilling responsiveness to things as they actually are.
The best way to benefit from this course is to dedicate one week to doing the seven longer sessions, the two longest of which can be done in full or without the guided meditation. This will not only initiate a softening of neuro-muscular tissue, but also establish the somatic foundation for a complete neuro-muscular recalibration. Try to use at least a twenty minute practice every day after this initial embodiment. The awakening practice is best in the morning, the refreshing practice in the evening. Use one of the longer ones as often as possible.
Although these practices are deeply therapeutic, they are not therapy. They do not target any specific issue. Rather they soften and release frozen tissues. They offer a recovery to natural, embodied resilience, rather than a recovery from specific issues. Perceptual and behavioural transformation will take place without any need for conscious catharsis. They are therefor beneficial for anyone wishing to become more comfortable in everyday experience, even those who have not been overtly traumatised.
A PDF file of supporting notes will also download. This not only describes each practical technique in detail. It also provides a conceptual framework for understanding how they work and can deeply transform your life.
