Recorded live at the Theosophical Society in America on May 12, 2023
This video recording of ‘Awe’ highlights the emotion we experience when we encounter mysteries, sometimes vast, that we don't understand. It is a feeling of reverential respect mixed with wonder and astonishment that may move us toward enigmas and the unknown. We can find awe anywhere, just by spending as little as a few minutes a day in mindful observation and inner reflection. Because we have a basic need for awe wired into our brains and bodies, finding awe every day is easy, if we just take the time to observe and wonder. Being aware of awe while thriving in the present, awe brings us joy, meaning and community, along with healthy bodies and more creative minds. | Meditation starts at ~ 21:00
Delight - Live audio recording
Delight, a 3 D audio recorded live at The Theosophical Society in Wheaton, IL on Dec. 1, 2023, reflects on the profound state of inner joy and contentment that arises from a deep connection with the present moment. It is the pure and unadulterated happiness that emerges when we let go of attachment to desires and worries, and instead immerse ourselves in the simple beauty of existence. Delight can be experienced during meditation when we are fully present, free from distraction, and in harmony with our inner selves. It is a state where the mind is tranquil, the heart is open, and the spirit is at ease. Cultivating states of delight not only enhances our emotional well-being but also serves as a source of inspiration and motivation to continue our journey towards inner peace and enlightenment. | Meditation starts at ~ 14:10
On Life, Trust, Love, Acceptance, Perspective, Epigenetics and more
Trusting Life: Life is intelligent. It possesses infinite intelligence, the same intelligence that creates galaxies…Our dialogue plants seed thoughts that pivot around being aware of the thoughts one thinks. Our thoughts attract that which we think of. We furthermore reflect on the importance of being present and aware, among other aspects. | Meditation starts at ~ 18:15
Acceptance: The topic for this transmission turned out to be Acceptance and demonstrated the perfect orderly flow of the universe. We had realized after about 25 minutes of broadcasting that our microphone had been OFF....so Acceptance related aspects seemed like the perfect topic for the occasion | Meditation starts at ~ 22:30
Perspective: We all view the world through OUR lenses. We apply filters that are based on and influenced by many factors we accumulate during our progression in life. With the New Year, as with a new day, perhaps it is time to adjust both to broaden our spectrum…By zooming in or out we may explore new ways of interpreting our reality, and thereby our life. | Meditation starts at ~ 18:34
Exploration: Exploration drives evolution. Throughout history it has been the individuals who seek, inspect, examine, analyze, search and research, travel and inquire that have helped humanity and societies to continue to become what we know them to be… To explore means to examine or investigate something systematically, to travel somewhere in search of discovery. To seek or experience something first hand. | Meditation starts at ~ 18:50
Love and Joy: Our dialogue focused on these two powerful energies and the importance to be aware of access to them moment by moment. We also stressed the importance of open communication and the clarity it reveals, like dissipating clouds revealing sunlight. And a gentle reminder about the ongoing practice. | Meditation starts at ~ 19:00
Reflection: Can mean, a) the throwing back by a body or surface of light, heat, or sound without absorbing it…and b) serious thought or consideration. Upon examination it becomes apparent that, when it comes to human beings, in many instances and depending on the context, b) is a pre-requisite for a), awareness. | Meditation starts at ~ 18:56
Life, Time and Flow: With time being a man made invention, we talk about increasing that understanding while embracing the sweet state of flow and being in the present, in order to thrive in life. | Meditation starts at ~ 12:50
Energy: Consider that the human body generates enough energy to bring 8 gallons of ice water to a boil, each day… So how does one best generate, utilize and conserve this miraculous life energy in an optimal way, day in and day out. And does it ever run out…? | Meditation starts at ~ 17:00
Adaptability: The chosen topic for our dialogue highlights the importance of having the flexibility and awareness to flow with life in its most miraculous, loving, creative and magical ways. | Meditation starts at ~ 24:45
Epigenetics: Our dialogue and guided meditation centered around the dynamism and various aspects of Epigenetics and what role it plays as we experience our lives. Science has proven that the environment and influences from the “outside”, beyond our genetics, greatly influence and shape our thought, emotions and behaviors. | The Meditation starts at ~ 20:40
Love: It is probably the strongest and most powerful energy we can know. And while there are a myriad interpretations of Love, the event reflects on the power of Love that emanates from a clear and unobstructed heart and mind.. | Meditation starts at ~ 21:30
Dedication: Is the willingness to give a lot of time and energy to something because it is important. It is the quality of being dedicated or committed to a task or purpose. This requires to be aware of what area that is within oneself and then the desire to be dedicated to the process. We look at the indispensable elements of Love and the state of Flow. | Meditation starts at ~ 16:58
Impermanence: Nothing stays the same, all is constantly changing. Nature is always a beautiful teacher to show us that. Our dialogue centered around cultivating the ability to let go and to summon the desire and discipline to steadfastly practice being in the present. | Meditation starts at ~ 19:42
Welcoming: Life presents us with an endless stream of circumstances, opportunities, challenges, rewards, people, celebrations etc. day in and day out. In this presentation we reflect on the difference of being open and welcoming, vs. closed off and apprehensive toward life's natural order and emphasize that the choice is always yours. | Meditation starts at ~ 18:10
Sweetness: Our dialogue pivoted around the idea that depending on one's perspective, and viewed on a universal scale, life can be perceived as being short. It is our choice to stay in the light, in love, as opposed to fear, and to savor the sweetness, magnificence and magic life presents to us, moment by moment. | Meditation starts at ~ 12:00
Adventure: Life is an adventure. We all are given the opportunity to explore, discover, share, inspire, and so much more. There is no manual for how to live life. It is a very subjective endeavor and we all make it our own success as we progress journeying through it. Sometimes the going may get rough as we climb uphill at other times it seems like smooth sailing. Just like being carried by the gentle wind streams in a hot air balloon. So what can we contribute to making the smooth sailing segments longer and more frequent…? | Meditation starts at ~ 21:10
Visualization: An incredibly valuable process for recognizing, creating and manifesting one’s desired reality. We look at the various tools of how to apply the visualization technique and practice in your everyday approach and how it assists to create a meaningful life. | Meditation starts at ~ 18:35
Expectations: It seems natural and ‘normal’ to have expectations of people, places, and things, and for them to be in a certain way, just as one expects them to be. This is largely driven by and based on one's own interpretations and perspectives on life. In this program we look at various aspects of how no to be free of expectations and avoid frustration and disappointments. | Meditation starts at ~ 19:30
On Wellbeing, Gratitude, Forgiveness, Sacred Space, Balance, Now and more
Sacred Space: …encompasses to honor and respect your inner, and outer space. It means that you consider your body-mind-spirit connection sacred, and that you nourish, and cultivate it in a wholesome and supportive way. It will inevitably reflect on the outside. It also means that you will not allow others to abuse your body, feelings and possessions. Be discerning and mindful who you allow to enter your sacred space. | Meditation starts at ~ 19:40
Wellbeing: A general definition of wellbeing could be described as the state of being comfortable, healthy, or happy. In other words, a good or satisfactory condition of existence; a state characterized by health, happiness, and prosperity. With endless information available on how to go about i.e. nutrition, exercise, loving relationships, meditation, etc. , without integration it is just that, information. All building blocks for wellbeing require the application of them, fortified by constant practice, which rests on awareness. | Meditation starts at ~ 19:00
Balance: Generally defined as a condition in which different elements are equal or in the correct proportions. WOW, correct proportions…leaves a lot of room for interpretation. We will talk about the different centers of influence that contribute to the correct proportions. | Meditation starts at ~ 16:35
Forgiveness: Always an important topic, especially at this time of the year. As we look back at this past year that is rapidly coming to a closing, the question of forgiveness may arise for some as one would not want to carry any ‘unnecessary ballast’ forward into the new year. And if nothing else, perhaps there is an area or two within oneself that requires ones forgiveness toward oneself… | Meditation starts at ~ 19:45
Grounded: The meaning of GROUNDED is mentally and emotionally stable: admirably sensible, realistic, and unpretentious. It goes hand in hand with balance and equilibrium. Our dialogue will reflect on what it takes to be that. | Meditation starts at ~ 22:38
Healing: All healing is healing from within. It begins in one’s mind and soul, the innermost core part of being. Largely driven by awareness, dedication, discipline and perseverance, we examined and reflected on the precious gift of health and healing in this session. | Meditation starts at ~ 14:07
Appreciation and Gratitude: This Portal’s open dialogue centered around the importance of their application in everyday life. A guided meditation amplified the reminder followed by a soothing sound bath. | The Meditation starts at ~ 13:42
Wholeness: We look at the meaning of wholeness, defined as an undivided or unbroken completeness or totality, including robust good health, with nothing wanting. | The Meditation starts at ~ 23:06
Prevention: Our open dialogue centered around the subject of Prevention, from entering / and or staying in the “dark nights of the Soul”. Prevention from falling into self created holes of self negating thoughts and behaviors, which essentially prevent our connection to “The Field”, which by its design constantly supports our ongoing expansion and evolution. | The Meditation starts at ~ 14:40
Aligned with the Now: The chosen topic for this program was Alignment with your higher self, with your innate wisdom. We looked at various aspects of life's vast and multi-layered complexities and our ongoing choice to remain in the present moment. We furthermore touched down upon various approaches for not getting overwhelmed when life presents challenges and instead come out stronger. | Meditation starts at ~ 23:08
Renewal: During the dialogue portion of the program we reflected on the importance of inspiration and renewal, infusion with new energy and insights. Life presents and manifests all those to us moment by moment. Being open and present is the entry point to receiving them, regardless where you are, in your backyard or in an exotic place in the world. | Meditation starts at ~ 21:15
Clarity: The vast majority of time, our vision, our perception, is obscured with preconceived paradigms and ideas, oftentimes acting like a murky lens. With about 90% of our sensory perceptions entering through our eyes, how do we see ourselves and our surroundings …? What is our worldview our vista, our lenses… the way we think about and see the world we live in? The ideal state would be to perceive everything with clarity, as a new occurrence, with childlike joy and enthusiasm. | Meditation starts at ~ 18:20
On Choices, Rhythm, Resonance, Patience, Inspiration, Creativity, and more
Rhythm: Rhythm generally means a "movement” marked by the regulated succession of strong and weak elements, or of opposite or different conditions. Rhythm or the lack of it can be an indicator of harmony vs. disharmony or resonance vs. dissonance. So, what drives your personal rhythm and which drum beat are you marching to…? | Meditation starts at ~ 19:05
Choice Points:… presented from moment to moment along the way, as moments of recognition and awareness, revealing that through ongoing practice ones' ability to utilize innate consciousness to one's advantage is an ever present and expansive option. | Meditation starts at ~ 9:31
Being: Most of what we are subjected to and encounter in the world is emphasized with ‘doing’. Very little emphasis is being put on ‘being’. Yet, it is the ‘being’ which ultimately allows for the ‘doing’. We will reflect on the ‘being’ aspect. | Meditation starts at ~ 16:15
Creativity: Everyone is creative, even those that say they are not. The whole art of living life is a direct reflection of creativity. The question arises, where does one draw inspiration from, in order to express one’s creativity. And how does one preserve and cultivate, or nourish, the creative streak within? | Meditation starts at ~ 22:40
Patience: Was the participant chosen topic. Our dialogue focused on various aspects on how to best recognize and apply ways of practice when circumstances call for the application of patience in our everyday lives. | Meditation starts at ~ 18:15
Inspiration: What inspires you and where do you get it from? How do you open yourself up to it, to receiving sudden brilliant, creative, or timely ideas.…? What does it take to be tapped in to ‘download’ from all there is…? | Meditation starts at ~ 14:30
Optimism: …is hopefulness and confidence about the future or the successful outcome of something.…well, the state of being and the perspective one holds are clear factors determining the effectiveness of the required inner position for a prolonged degree of optimism. | Meditation starts at ~ 16:15
Pulsation: Everything in nature and the universe possesses a pulse, a beat, a rhythm. Our heart beats approx. 100,000 times in a 24 h cycle. Spanda is a Sanskrit term that refers to the subtle creative pulse of the universe as it manifests into the dynamism of living form. We will reflect on how we each contribute to that pulse… | Meditation starts at ~ 11:50
Openness: While established paradigms and viewpoints are important in one’s life in order to navigate the world, it is equally important to remain open minded. Openness to expansion of one’s perspectives, beliefs, convictions, activities, and more requires awareness. Our dialogue shines light upon some of the characteristics of being open minded. | Meditation starts at ~ 16:56
Tranquility: Is the quality or state of being tranquil, calm. In a loud and fast paced world and lifestyle, to create a tranquil state of being can often be a challenge. It may have to begin with the proper place for it, like a room or mentally, through being, in visualization or meditation. | Meditation starts at ~ 12:50
Creativity: Creative thinking is a cognitive process that involves generating original ideas, making connections between seemingly unrelated concepts, and solving problems in innovative ways. It is a crucial skill in various aspects of life, including art, business, science, and personal development. Creative thinking encourages thinking outside the box and exploring unconventional solutions. We all are creative artists in our own ways as living life is a creative process... | Meditation starts at ~ 29:00
On Courage, Guidance, Change Freedom, Awareness, Power, and more
Change: The only permanent and constant element in life and the world around us is change. In this dialogue and guided meditation we reflect on how to best flow with this ever present dynamic while maintaining a healthy equilibrium… | Meditation starts at ~ 15:50
Freedom: A privilege to experience and in many countries and cultural circumstances hard fought for to achieve. Yet, the most essential freedom of all is the freedom to choose. To choose the thoughts and emotions from moment to moment which are a foundation for true freedom. | Meditation starts at ~ 16:00
Courage: The emotion of courage is the ability to do something that frightens one or to possess strength in the face of pain or grief. Courage is the choice and willingness to confront agony, pain, danger, uncertainty, or intimidation. In this session we will look at what it takes to have courage. | Meditation starts at ~ 15:40
Guidance: In the turmoil of life, when the feeling or sense of ‘being lost’ kicks in, and one lacks proper inner guidance, where do you turn to, and what do you do to regain a sense of Guidance…? | Meditation starts at ~ 18:33
Direction: Fortunate are those who have a clear idea where they are heading in life. Or at a minimum those who can say, “I may not know where I am going, but I am not lost”. To have a clearer idea of how to go about finding that direction, especially when the path becomes unclear or diluted, begins with being conscious about one’s inner compass… | Meditation starts at ~ 19:22
In-formation: All data and information that we perceive and receive has the tendency to shape and influence us, in one way or another. Awareness is the key to allow it to support our evolution, as opposed to contribute to our entropy. | Meditation starts at ~ 16:38
The 4 A’s: This event’s dialogue honed in on the meaning of the 4-A’s related to personal transformation and expansion. They are Awareness, Acceptance, Action and Assessment. | Meditation starts at ~ 15:46
Awake Alignment: To be awake and aware of one's inner power, and be in alignment with Presence, has been one of humanity's pursuits since the dawn of time. We all have had glimpses of the feeling deep down in our hearts, brimming with happiness, excitement, contentment and connection, or short, Love, when we are connected with our Higher Self. | Meditation starts at ~ 16:04
Presence: People who have presence have an inner radiance, since they are comfortable and content within themselves. They seldom walk or move in haste. They rarely seek approval from others, and often it is others who seek approval from them. We reflect on the personal quality of Presence. | Meditation starts at ~ 13:10
Exploration: The topic for this program was inspired by friends who are packing it up and moving to French Polynesia with their 3 year old daughter. What sits at the root for exploration, for expanding one's paradigms? And what are some of the essential driving forces behind the desire and courage to leave the known behind...? Tune in and expand ;) | Meditation starts at ~ 15:20
Mirrors: Some call it the Law of Attraction, others call it Resonance, and yet others, Karma. Essentially, if we look at the basic concept of reflection, a mirror, than it becomes obvious that the mirror can only reflect back to us what we present to it. So it is with Life. The Vedic tradition in India refers to the healing process as “blowing dust of a mirror”. The dust is the accumulation of memories and old experiences that give rise to inner suffering. The mirror is simple awareness, reflecting only bliss-consciousness in all its guises. | Meditation starts at ~17:30
Transcendence: It is easy to get comfortable, complacent or stuck with the “Status Quo”. New horizons are found when one transcends the known and explores uncharted territories. Transcendence comes from the Latin prefix trans-, meaning "beyond," and the word scandare, meaning "to climb." When you achieve transcendence, you have gone beyond ordinary limitations. The word is often used to describe a spiritual or religious state, or a condition of moving beyond physical needs and realities… One’s path of personal transformation is all about transcendence. | Meditation starts at ~ 18:30
Expanded Consciousness: Consciousness in simple terms is awareness of internal and external existence. It is the quality or state of being aware of something within oneself or of being conscious of an external object, state, or fact. Consciousness is that which makes any experience possible. So how can one expand one’s consciousness to achieve a richer experience of life? To surpass the oftentimes negative, judgmental, and self defeating interpretations and responses to any given situation that automatically arise…? Find out... | Meditation starts at ~ 21:45
Harmony: What is the best meaning of harmony? Well, it can mean agreement; accord; harmonious relations, a consistent, orderly, or pleasing arrangement of parts; congruity. And in music, any simultaneous combination of tones, pleasing to the ear. Words do not best describe it as harmony is more perceived as a feeling, or state of being. So the question naturally arises, how can we create harmony within and around us on a consistent basis? In the first place it requires having the awareness about our inner workings and integration of it, fortified by constant practice, which, once again, rests on awareness. | Meditation starts at ~ 18:30
Celebration: Celebration is a profound expression of joy and gratitude that can significantly enhance our overall wellness. It represents a purposeful pause in our busy lives to acknowledge and savor the milestones and moments of growth, both big and small, that we have achieved throughout the year, and sometimes just the day. While it often involves festive gatherings, it must also take the form of a personal, reflective practice, allowing us to acknowledge our achievements and learn from our challenges. | Meditation starts at ~ 17:40
Sound - ancient tool for raising consciousness in modern times
Did you know that each cell in your body emits sound? Are you in tune?
Your inner state of harmony or disharmony is your choice
The entry point to all is your consciousness
You are not separate from what is ‘out-there’, you create your own reality
