More Thoughts on “Longing For The Divine”

In several previous posts I have referred to Mark Silver’s truly amazing work that is accessed through his website www.heart of business.com.

In particular I have talked a little about The Remembrance that I learned from his free download Getting To The Core of Your Business. I have been consistently using The Remembrance not only as special quiet time with God, as a grounding and centering technique and  also as a running background to whatever I am doing.

Whenever I am walking through my favorite Central Park, I am connecting with nature, and I am feeling centered in my heart as I say God’s name.

This week I realized that my most special times on my walks involve my experience of  the quiet that enfolds me in the middle of the park when the blanket of snow muffles the city sounds. In the silence I call God’s name from my heart.

Calling God’s name from the center of my heart has been a deeply personal and profound experience for me right from the first time I practiced  in November.

One of my strongest reactions has consistently been feeling an emptiness and profound sadness deep in my heart. I have remained present throughout this time and in the past two days I experienced a profound shift.

But first  I need to tell you that I am far from depressed. I am enjoying my life and excited to greet each new day. The emptiness has not felt particularly related to my everyday life.

Yesterday I participated in a free teleconference call that Mark offered as an introduction to his The Sacred Moment Seminar, which will be held in Portland Oregon, February 25th and 26th, 2011.

The context of what he discussed was in terms of the spiritual elements that are the real core of making a sale with another person- in our practice- getting and keeping paying clients.  Mark spoke awhile about neediness being ” the most powerful tool, a doorway to abundance and to connection” necessary for  transactions to occur.

When he said ” the neediness that we are so ashamed of- the hollowness, is the the flute that is ready to be played” by the Divine, I started getting excited. He continued,  urging that we become “comfortable with the discomfort of the emptiness” and that we bring the thirst and need to the Divine.. that we can then “feel the sense of connection with Divine fullness from the heart”.

Mark encouraged us to “feel the raw ache and gnawing in your heart… allowing the heart thirst  to propel  you towards the Source…” He advised us to always have the thirst, that “connecting deeply with the neediness” so we can then “see the gifts”.

I believe that this is a visceral description of  the spirit level need of “Longing for the Divine” that Joie asked about in the Resonance Repatterning Q& A’s last week. I was relieved and excited to realize that I have been on the right track using The Remembrance so consistently.

When I took my walk today I asked God to fill my empty heart with Divine Love. Later, when I began a session with one of my regularly scheduled clients something extraordinary happened.

I literally felt a zing go through my heart as I was energetically and verbally creating our sacred space in the usual manner. I felt my heart open so wide and so deep that it felt like my heart was smiling from edge to edge!

I still feel the fullness that began almost twelve hours ago!

There’s A New Page Tab on Top

This week there is a new page called “Sharing Successes!” that you can find on the top of the page.

This is where everyone can report their successful experiences in manifesting their Intentions from the “Love From NYC” page, which is also a tab on the top of the page.

It is also the place where success stories from all other aspects of our experiences with Resonance Repatterning can be shared.

Please share your stories about great things that happen to you, or your clients ( protecting  their privacy and with their permission, of course) as a result of sessions. Share your experiences of great classes, seminars or Group too.

If your story doesn’t fit in the comment box, send it to me by email at meryl@beyourbliss.info I’ll put it on the regular page to post it.

Won’t it be fun to share  the positive energy with each other?

We already have two stories on the page so go and take a look for yourself.

What Happened in January 2011 Group

Present in Group today were Harriet, Minh, Trinket, Paula, Shyama, Gladys and Joie. Five other members asked to be proxied in to any Group Repatterning that we were to do.

We started our first Group of the year by pairing off for Repatterning sessions. After our break, the person who gave the session first received one from their partner.

One of the pairings was done with three group members who had completed the basic six seminars. One was practitioner, one was the client and the third observed the session and gave feedback to the person who was practitioner.

One of the salient comments that the observer shared with the practitioner was about the mechanics of engaging the client fully right from the start of the session. The observer emphasized the importance of taking time to pause, be still and make eye contact with the client as a way of strengthening their engagement in the beginning of the session.

One minor  question came up  in the Group about keeping the flow in a session and minimizing time spent on the mechanics of the process. To learn more about that please see the Resonance Repatterning  Q& A post.

We spent the rest of our time doing a wonderful Group Repatterning to energize us all for all of our Intentions for the New Year.  Our task was for each of us to state two Intentions that once manifested would be the catalyst for other positive changes in our lives to naturally fall into place.

All of our Intentions are listed on the Love From NYC page. When you visit the page you can help us all to energize them and you can also retro-intend your being included in manifesting the parts you want for yourself..

The actual Repatterning that was done was the Metal Element Lung Meridian Repatterning written by Chloe Faith Wordsworth in her manual the Advanced Meridian Training, Presence and Safety through the Source and Element Points.

For those readers who have access to the text I strongly recommend reading the  whole Introduction to the Lung Meridian ( PP73-74) before reading our Intentions.

Some of what Chloe describes on those pages is that:

” The  Lung Official allows you to resonate with heavenly energy and supports you in manifesting your spirit in human form. When you actively live from spiritual principles you automatically discover what is of true worth in your life and create what is worthwhile for yourself and others… The lung Official allows you to act with integrity… to be inspired and to inspire…

She continues by describing issues that need to be resolved by practitioners that are related to the Lung Meridian.   The Lung Meridian requires the resolution of “issues of low self-worth and feeling that others don’t value and appreciate you”.

Similar to the quality of Perfectionism, as described in the Compensations Repatterning, (on P. 120 in Transforming Unconscious Patterns, 2002 edition by Chole Faith Wordswoth)  in the Lung Meridian Repatterning Chloe talks about lack of self worth appearing as unnatural humility or arrogance or pride functioning as a cover for the sense of inadequacy that “pushes people away and prevents them from appreciating who you are, your brilliance and what you are able to contribute.”

In relating with others, imbalanced Lung Meridian can lead to the metal element non-coherent responses of  “cutting off, withdrawing, becoming cold or putting up an iron curtain between yourself and others” rather than being willing to resolve differences with others. Also, balanced Lung Meridian can foster the ability to “genuinely acknowledge and appreciate others” instead of the non-coherent behaviors of using acknowledgment to  manipulate others or having the inability to appropriately acknowledge others.

The Group members are no longer resonating with the negatives described above. but we are in tune with the following positive statements in addition to all of our Intentions posted on the Love From NYC page.

The earlier experience with which we are no longer resonating with related to a time when we felt put down, diminished or criticized. The associated feeling was ” feeling the abyss”. We also each let go of a mistake that we frequently make in life, such as criticizing ourselves and others.

The new coherent Lung Meridian  quality that we now resonate with is that we “give acknowledgment by giving appreciation verbally and non-verbally”.

We now resonate with the specific good qualities about ourselves that we each named.

We are: really attuned to others, our intuition comes from our heart; we move and don’t stay stuck for long; we really appreciate and understand people’s mental bodies; we are compassionate; we enjoy exploration and sharing; we persevere; we embody the sweetness of life.

The Modality was giving energy to our Lung #8, “Meridian Gutter”, the metal point on the metal Lung Meridian, on the masculine right side. This meridian point (described on P.77 in the Lung Repatterning) , according to Chloe  is for “cleaning out the gutters, for detoxifying on all levels, whether toxicity from colds, mucus, constipation, acne, grief or mental negativity!

Our next Group is Sunday, February 27th, 2011. Stay in touch until then!
