Heart Radiance"The Art of Intentional Compassion"
We are in the world to learn to love more. Each relationship is precious and significant, not the least our deep connection with ourselves. Each relationship is an opportunity to share the ultimate gift of active loving. We call this compassion. Remembering to share this gift is the truth of prayer, the way to peace, for love is the single most important attribute of Source-consciousness: God is love. There is no living being that does not deserve love, for it is our very nature. As we all deserve the gift of life, so we deserve love. This is the principle of Grace. Understanding and accepting Grace is fundamental to personal and global freedom. Opening the Heart is the key to Intentional Compassion, for it is the Heart that radiates the intention of love. Opening the Heart is not conceptual, nor is it a sentimental ideal, but a realizable objective. The method is simple in application, as it relies on observable laws of nature, yet the results are profound, as this way of self-cultivation has been handed down for many generations. Over the last 12 years of teaching hundreds of students, I have noticed that continued practice guarantees the following benefits:
The Heart Radiance Course….Is based upon the perception that this life is precious. “This life” is our individual life, and also our connectedness with all life—the other humans around us, the animals and forests, and the life of Mother Gaia herself. All these exist in our world as a continuum, supporting one another. The attitude we hold toward our extended relationship with all life has everything to do with our sense of well-being and safety. As we learn to value all life as sacred, we are in turn motivated to look after ourselves with more love and care. It is not about ‘looking good,’ but about feeling good in ourselves as a whole. This requires that we honor and heal all aspects of our being: physical, mental, emotional, energetic and spiritual. As we become more whole and integrated, we become more powerful in receiving and expressing the love energy. This empowerment of the whole of our being is progressively facilitated through the practice of Five distinct Components, briefly described below.
First Component (Sitting): Percussion Massage on Three Vital Energy Gates-Overall Effect: *Harmonises Kidney and Heart energy *Modulates the blood pressure *Stimulates the auto-immune system *Enhances the joyful feeling of being alive -Origin : Chinese Rejuvenation -Completion Time: 3-5 minutes.
Second Component (Standing Movement): Throw Hands in Four Directions-Overall Effect: *Strengthens thighs, arms and shoulders. *Opens the breath. *Stretches the waist and neck. *Distributes vital energy throughout the whole body Origin : Western Tibet -Completion Time: 3-5 minutes.
Third Component (Standing): The 12 ImmortalsOverall Effect : *Harmonises and strengthens the spine *Enhances the flow of blood and lymph * Restores the parasympathetic nervous system (relax response) *Stretches and strengthens the diaphragm, muscle of breathing *Rejuvenates the brain, bringing more clarity to thinking *Deepens one’s sense of Belonging Origin : Pagan tribes people, Eastern Afghanistan. Completion Time : 3-5 Minutes
Fourth Component (Standing Contemplation): The TreeOverall Effect : *Deepens one’s sense of connection with Mother Earth, the Cosmos, and Nature *Increases the feeling of being grounded *A trans-personal, I-thou, experience of tree-ness Origin : Central Java. Completion Time: 3-5 minutes
Fifth Component (Sitting Contemplation): Resonant TuningOverall Effect: *Anchors the intentions of ‘easy and flowing’ in the body *Anchors the intentions of “spaciousness and freedom’ in consciousness *Expands the energy of the Heart, anchoring the intentions of ‘Grace and Love’ in one’s whole being *Promotes the experience of Unity with all life *Effectively shifts one from head-centred to the Heart-centred action in the world Origin : Taoist Alchemy -Completion Time: 15-25 minutes.
Note: The Five Components are essence practices. Each Component is short and to the point, and can easily be integrated into even the busiest schedule. Each has been selected over many years for its precise effects and the way it synergises with the others to provide maximum benefit to the physical, mental, emotional energetic, and spiritual aspects of who we are.
The initial Heart Radiance Course comprises 12 hours of instruction, delivered over two days’ time. The course is accompanied by a comprehensive manual, wall charts, and a meditation CD. Follow-up days are offered subsequent to the course. When students mature in the curriculum, they will be invited to the three-day retreat, The Joy of Self-Recollection, which explores the transcendent agenda of the original Soul Repair transmission. The presentation style is step-by-step in a casual learning environment intended to accommodate people of all ages and with varying experience of self-cultivation. Since most of the information and practice is unique, everyone enters on a “level playing field.” The best advice to all new students is to join us with a ‘beginner’s mind,’ open to the extraordinary.
