Why Analysis?

Analysis is about the connection with the personal divine self but one reflection they are one.  Its about staying alway from the noise of life and to get to the true meaning of our existence.

Have you always wondered why you are here on this earthly beautiful plain.  Have you always longed for more in life, that longing is not about material things (although they are nice) but it about a connection with your Soul’s purpose.  Stillness, heart centre meditation and listening in the silence is what what we long for.

Analysis (Spiritual direction) will support your journey, it like be being held in a vase/frame to grown and expand.

Its about truth – love – the divine.

Listening to the Stillness

Sitting in the stillness of the heart.  What does that actually mean?

Sitting with the wisdom of God, sitting with the flickering light of a candle where the divine speaks its truth.  Can one really hear the truth when there is no noise around you.  Sitting in the stillness of the heart is all that’s needed – there is a relief and a a profound sense of being ‘normal’ in stillness.

Om shanti om shanti om shanti.

Lord Shiva

The Innocence of Life

Lord Shiva to hold us in the world to protect.

The undying light to sustain us in time of wanting peril

To bring love in the treadmill of life of demanding human need.

The burning light of a candle in the mist of time.

Hope is not hope. Love and the divine is here to protect us from hope.

Supreme being of Lord Shiva – forever in your arms.

Wanton love and support in the internal world of life.

Just Sit Right Now

Just sit there right now. Don’t do a thing, just rest.

For your separation from God is the hardest work in the world.

Let me bring you trays of food and something that you like to drink.

You can use my soft words as a cushion for your head.

‘Love Poems From God’ Daniel Ladinsky

The Heart of Living Yoga

Heart Meditation

What a discovery – heart meditation shifts our naughty, creative trickstered mind into a place of love and true expectance. The head and heart become one – love, peace and joy reside.

It’s in the silence of the retreat where deep cleansing occurs. The residual past melts into new life of a living world.

The noise and ticker-tape destruction is constant. Smiling with the heart melts these beautiful complexes which give insight to creative growth and transformation.

What a relief ❤️

The Dark Wall

I have been thinking about my spiritual life as I move into the new year. There seems to be constant struggle to find meaning with God.  The need to merge with God is strong and very powerful.

However, I come up against the dark wall that is not penetrable.  Sitting in a dark searching and hoping for meaning is ever present.  Will peace and tranquility ever be part of my life or shall I live this angst forever,  Has God forsaken me. I think not but the ever present feeling something powerful is holding me – 

Dark Night of the Soul come to mind – am I worthy of God’s love – what am I searching and what is all for.  The dark wall is ever present.

Loss

Over the rainbow !

As we witness the pandemic shift and move throughout the world, I wonder what the effects it will have on our own internal worlds.  How do we make sense of the fact that we cannot see our loved ones?  We see family and friends via a video link or a phone, but we cannot touch them.  We have to stay away for all our survival.

We live with loss which is a constant.  Isn’t loss part of the human condition anyway?  From the day we are born we separate from mother. Growing and developing is about maturation, growing to be individual.  However, more than ever we need each other during these times in a hope we will ‘touch’ and ‘see’ each other again.

We mourn the loss of people we have admired and celebrate their lives and achievements. Maybe there is something about loss, mourning and hope.  Only time will tell.

A Psychic Retreat

Ramsay J (1997) ‘Alchemy The Art of Transformation’. Thorson Harper Collins. P60

At the beginning of the analysis, it became clear that J resided in a very dark place, well hidden from any form of aliveness.  Their attachment to me felt parasitical and searching for aliveness in me, but the result was the opposite: I often felt blanked out, deadened.  It was as if I had been infected with a tranquiliser, rendering me paralysed and unable to stay (conscious) or leave (act freely).  The room at times felt airless with an insufferable stench of something dead and decaying forever.  It soon resembled their home, hoarded rubbish and living amongst rotten food.  Dead and rotting though this space was, it nevertheless provided a perverse form of safety and a psychic retreat from continued failure in a litany of broken relationships.  This is as mentioned a perverse form of safety for most patients when entering analysis. The key to this ‘psychic retreat’ is to entre it with care and gentleness but to live it with the patient.  This is to know the patient.

Transformation – Rebirth

“One alchemical statement says that death is the conception of the Philosophers’ Stone.  The death of the ego, or the ego experiencing itself as dying, is very often the prelude to the birth of awareness of the self.  Jung makes the profound statement in Mysterium that “the experience of the self is always a defeat for the ego.” That’s because an encounter with the greater thing always has a wounding and damaging effect, initially, on the lesser thing.  And the experience of guilt belongs to this whole phenomenon of defeat and inadequacy and wounding.” Edinger (1994) P29/30
