An insightful conversation with Angela about the human experience, what conscious relating is and how healing occurs

Conscious Relating

A beautiful conversation about trauma and how we block ourselves from love, connection and everything we want with unconscious beliefs, we unpick what gets in the way of seeing our own beauty and allowing ourselves to be loved, from the mind to the body, a fully inclusive conversation, through the lens of 3p, non duality, somatic healing and meditation. Below are some of the insights I got when listening back:
<ul>
<li>What is it like to receive love</li>
<li>What happens in the body</li>
<li>Do you allow yourself to feel?</li>
<li>have the walls of unworthiness come down?</li>
<li>Do we have to do anything to be worthy?</li>
<li>Where does the idea of unworthiness come from?</li>
<li>It&#8217;s felt as an experience of the body (contraction)</li>
<li>The nervous system (flight mode) is activated by love</li>
<li>It can show up as anger/doubt towards the giver</li>
<li>Or the desire to run away</li>
<li>Allowing love to filter in, can be very touching</li>
<li>Living with a tender heart</li>
<li>Putting the story aside and meeting yourself</li>
<li>Well-being is innate</li>
<li>No one bullies us as much as we do ourselves</li>
<li>We can only guess &#8211; but the body knows</li>
<li>We have been programmed not to feel</li>
<li>Stay out of the story and be with what is</li>
<li>Feeling yourself as energy &#8211; not matter</li>
<li>You are not your body</li>
<li>We&#8217;re not victims</li>
<li>Don&#8217;t be afraid of your own feelings</li>
<li>There is nothing wrong with your feelings</li>
<li>Your ego cannot be enlightened</li>
<li>There is nowhere other than here</li>
<li>There is no escape from now</li>
<li>The body keeps the score</li>
</ul>

A beautiful conversation about trauma and how we block ourselves from love, connection and everything we want with unconscious beliefs, we unpick what gets in the way of seeing our own beauty and allowing ourselves to be loved, from the mind to the body, a fully inclusive conversation, through the lens of 3p, non duality, somatic healing and meditation.

Letting Love In

This conversation with Rupert was recorded almost a couple of years ago, when I had just started really going to non dual retreats and wanting to be directly involved experientially, the reason I sat on it so long is on the audio before it starts, it turned out to be a great conversation covering so many subjects around the spectrum of experience, from suffering through to awakening and what happens on that journey for people including healing from trauma, what actually is trauma and how we might point people who are suffering to their true nature. Below are some of my insights from listening back:
<ul>
<li>All reality is not made of thought</li>
<li>What is the space between thought</li>
<li>Thoughts are like subtitles</li>
<li>Thoughts do not describe reality</li>
<li>We give thoughts and perceptions power</li>
<li>The goal is to bring the mind to the end</li>
<li>Seeking = Agitation</li>
<li>We experience happiness when seeking ends</li>
<li>Once the promise of fulfilment starts, the mind ends</li>
<li>why searching for true nature will not end addiction</li>
<li>Detox is sometimes required</li>
<li>Habits are very strong</li>
<li>Distraction with energy usage is valuable</li>
<li>Seeing the role of thought in suffering</li>
<li>The recognition of true nature</li>
<li>In between 2 thoughts I remain</li>
<li>Finding out what we are not is a start</li>
<li>Recognition of true nature takes further curiosity</li>
<li>what&#8217;s left after awakening</li>
<li>The contractions of the body are stuck beliefs</li>
<li>You cant separate the mind and body</li>
<li>There is work to be done to realign the body</li>
<li>Allowing buried feelings to be exposed</li>
<li>This is not a requirement to awakening</li>
<li>There is a process of allowing in vedantic tradition</li>
<li>Trauma is buried layer of feelings that needs dissolving</li>
<li>You need an experiential journey of the body</li>
<li>Trying to bridge the gap from suffering to awakening</li>
</ul>

The spectrum of experience, from suffering through to awakening and what happens on that journey for people including healing from trauma

This conversation with Rupert was recorded almost a couple of years ago, when I had just started really going to non dual retreats and wanting to be directly involved experientially, the reason I sat on it so long is on the audio before it starts, it turned out to be a great conversation covering so many subjects around the spectrum of experience, from suffering through to awakening and what happens on that journey for people including healing from trauma, what actually is trauma and how we might point people who are suffering to their true nature. Below are some of my insights from listening back:

The Spectrum of Experience

This great conversation with Rudi &amp; Jules goes from relationship triggers, to prison violence, from spiritual bypassing to embodying the essence of who you are it was great to dig into all these subjects with a sincere depth and quality of really seeing experience for what it is without being wedded to a concept or idea.
<ul>
<li>Trauma responses can be elusive</li>
<li>Is it the body or the mind</li>
<li>Love can be a threat to the body</li>
<li>The body leads the way</li>
<li>Breaking out of spiritual conditioning</li>
<li>Going to the body brings powerful results</li>
<li>The body can numb itself and dissociate</li>
<li>Suffering leads to hope for bliss</li>
<li>Spiritual sharing becoming dogmatic</li>
<li>Are you open to something you dont know</li>
<li>Do you react when other people share differently?</li>
<li>Can we listen to other peoples understanding?</li>
<li>Openness is a gateway to God/Universal Mind</li>
<li>The truths of the universe are not in thought</li>
<li>Including the body is life changing</li>
<li>Communicating with the body is expansive</li>
<li>The body is the bridge between form and formless</li>
<li>The body perceives safety before cognition</li>
<li>No body no experience</li>
<li>We begin with the essence</li>
<li>People are too comfortable in beliefs</li>
<li>Life beats us into a state of reasonableness</li>
<li>Parts stay at a young age</li>
<li>Your body heroically keeps you safe</li>
<li>Adopt and attitude of curiosity towards parts</li>
<li>Trauma is an energetic signature</li>
<li>High alert / HSP is a trauma response</li>
<li>We will react until something helps us see</li>
<li>How to find safety and healing</li>
<li>Misunderstood spirituality can mess you up</li>
<li>Destroy spiritual concepts and beliefs</li>
<li>You are the answer to everything</li>
<li>Skip the middle man it takes you away</li>
<li>You&#8217;ll know an experience of peace like never before</li>
