An invitation

Non-dual dialogue and therapy is emerging to address the collective need to liberate ourselves from its mental/emotional conditioning and to move into an alignment with our true nature. It recognises our human experience as a manifestation of Source in motion – as an integrated part of this universal celebration.

I offer dialogue and meditations to individuals and groups into a deeper experiential enquiry of the transpersonal principles and practices of the non-dual understanding to liberate our belief in a separate self, and the subsequent suffering in the world - a pressing imperative of our time. I also work with therapists and counsellors in an interdisciplinary approach to supplement their practice, and offer sessions as a complimentary contribution to any professional or personal venture with whom this resonates.

Its approach is non conventional in the sense we don't address the one that says, 'I suffer' but rather we investigate the validity of that separate sense of self which is the source of all psychological suffering.

What is the reality of the real me?
We come to recognise that the one that we all call 'I' is not a body-mind cluster of thoughts, feelings, sensations and perceptions, – the separate 'me' who subsequently became entangled and identified with its activities. All of these experiences comes and goes. But who we are is the ever-present unchanging I in the background so to speak of all experience; the one that is aware of our feelings and knows our thoughts but it doesn't get mixed-up with its qualities of agitation or suffering. This transparent, luminous substance of our aware being cannot be hurt, stained or modified by any objective experience. It is the I, our real self who the principle perceiver of the body, the mind and the world.

Hence, as the witnessing background of all experience I am inherently free from all things; as the substance of all experience I am intimately one with all things. All suffering ends in the realisation of this non-separation.

Thus the greatest discovery in life is that our essential nature does not share the limits or the destiny of the body and mind. 

The body-mind's activities of thoughts and feelings have preferences, make choices, like and dislike, seek and resist, praise and blame, hope and despair, judge and condemn but our self, that which knows them or is aware does not share their prejudices. It looks on everyone and everything alike, just as the sun shines on all objects equally.

When contemplated in the profound neutrality of our aware being, these habits die one by one. It liberates us from the demands of the illusory separate self, allows for it to dissolve and makes way to recognise our true nature of inherently peaceful, unconditionally fulfilled being – which shines in each of our minds as the simple experience of being aware, or the knowledge ‘I am.’ The peace and happiness we previously seek through the acquisition of objects, substances, activities and relationships, we now find at the core of our self-aware being.

This clear seeing brings an acute embodied awareness to everyday life which reinterprets and reveals the richness, vivacity and complexity of it, free from habitual conditioning and debilitating believes. We become more conscious and attuned to our true nature and how our presence influences our environment and relationship with everyone and everything. It is a different way of seeing and being in the world. 

These insights bring a renewed vision and purpose to our personal and professional engagements and its subsequent alignment with this new understanding. It is as if a weight falls off and something breaks open in us.

If this resonates with you in any way, I invite you to embark on an inquiry of self-discovery to your true nature. As my teachers over twelve years much of my approach is derived from Francis Lucille and Rupert Spira – an integrative and transformative process that will unfold through engaged dialogue.
