Connecting with the Formless

I went for a long walk along Paseo de la Reforma today, one of the main avenues in Mexico City. The mayors office closes it on Sundays so that pedestrians and cyclists can enjoy the sights. It may be the only activity where people from all backgrounds come together. There are also free meditation, dance and yoga classes at different points. I took my five month old yorkie puppy for a long walk while the rest of my family rode their bikes on Reforma. 

It was hot, I was tired and thirsty (so was the puppy), so I stopped for an iced coffee near the Angel of Independence. I sat down to write a few thoughts while my puppy tangled herself around the table legs with her leash. The past few weeks I've been thinking about how atheists have it right. Does God exist or is He just a concept we've come up with to make sense of things? There are so many religions, belief systems, etc. What is the chance that anyone is "right"? 

Then I started thinking about the possibility that nothing we believe in matters. Not even our own identities, what we think of ourselves or the rest of the world. The universe is massive, if other dimensions exist then our "planet" is even smaller and more insignificant than we think. And that our lives, our struggles, etc, are just a drop in an endless ocean. Or a speck of light in an endless light. 

It felt right to connect with that formlessness. To lose myself in it. Any concept of a human ego is irrelevant against the backdrop of that nothingness. What other people think of me, what I think of myself, what I think of my book and if anyone agrees with what I've written. My concept of angels, guides and intuition also disappears. It sounds crazy but connecting with that formlessness makes me feel more 'confident' than I've ever been, because the concept of right and wrong ceases to exist. I don't feel the need to label my experiences. Life is what it is and none of the things I worry about matter. With this as a starting point, anything is possible. It's the beginning ...

Does sharing have to be selfless or painful?

One of the things that I have had to let go of is the idea that if we help someone, it has to be 100% altruistic - in order for the action to be good. I don’t know if this is an idea that I adopted in childhood seeing others hold up selflessness as good - “give till it hurts” etc. The world would be a much better place if we knew that it is always in our benefit to help others. We always get something in return, directly or indirectly 💛 🫶🏻 Research shows that kindness makes for a much healthier society. I read a book last year called Shadow, Self & Spirit on transpersonal (or collective) psychology. There was a chapter on the psychology of evil and violence. People are less likely to harm others if they experience some form of compassion in their lives, or if they believe that someone cares about them - even if it’s a public figure, a politician, a celeb, or a deity like Quan Yin. Or better yet, family members, friends, and strangers. Random acts...

Is Manifesting for Real?

A while ago I wrote a post asking if spirit guides are real - pointing out that we have to challenge our beliefs, and also how we interpret what happens to us. Let's not get stuck in an idea or a worldview.  So today I'm going to take this approach to manifesting - is it for real? I don't think manifesting is for real, nor should it be the main focus in our lives. And honestly, I say this despite evidence to the contrary in my own life, i.e. things that I've manifested.   My issue with manifesting is that it's focused on ourselves, and what we can get in the material world. Personally, I've had good results applying conventional methods to get ahead - with help from my angels and guides. But still, it took drive and ambition to find a good corporate job in London, years ago. That and focusing on my personal competencies, and on the soft skills that were needed. Putting myself out there, networking, knocking on doors. Real world activities. And luck, that is a...

Vibrational Medicine by Dr Richard Gerber (Book Review)

People often ask if energy healing depends on the belief of the client - the placebo effect is real .  And while we   can  harness it by working through feelings and beliefs  that may undermine the healing process,   when I worked in  consumer  healthcare, research was  expected to outperform the placebo.   This is why I was happy to find a  book called  Vibrational Medicine,  by Dr Richard Gerber. It goes  through research done in labs and clinical settings. The book is a brick: 500 pages and almost too technical, but worth reading as an energy healer.   Below you will find highlights from Chapter 8 on Psychic Healing. Please note ,  Energy Healing is complementary to medical care, not alternative.   Dr. Gerber uses the term  'Psychic Healing'  throughout the book; however, in my own practice, I refer to these concepts as  'Energy Healing' based on my studies . Vibrational Medicine, by Richar...
