Tony Searl · NYC Zephyr "Part of listening, learning, and living in respectful relationship with one another involves seeking to understand Indigenous spirituality, which is fundamental to many Indigenous people’s identity and worldview.  Aboriginal spirituality is defined as at the core of Aboriginal being, their very identity. It gives meaning to all aspects of life including relationships with one another and the environment. All objects are living and share the same soul and spirit as Aboriginals. There is a kinship with the environment. Aboriginal spirituality can be expressed visually, musically and ceremonially." (Grant, 2004)

"The Tarkine region of northwest Tasmania contains the largest expanse of temperate rainforest in the southern hemisphere. Here, hidden deep in river valleys and wild uplands, huge myrtle trees are festooned with epiphytes and mosses, and in their cool shade thrive an understory of tree ferns. These forests are ancient - they once covered much of Australia, and date as far back as the time of the dinosaurs and the primordial supercontinent of Gondwana. Our recording begins at daybreak , with birdsong drifting between the trees. Moving deeper into the forest, we pause by a rippling stream, and encounter Yellow-tailed Black Cockatoos calling as they fly overhead. But there is much more to the Tarkine region than the rainforests - vast areas of it are actually open heathlands and buttongrass plains. We hear the vibrant song of Crescent Honeyeaters and Flame Robins drifting over these open landscapes. Finally we come down the wild coast, where the roaring 40s gust in off the open ocea...

The Invitation By  Oriah Mountain Dreamer   More Oriah Mountain Dreamer It doesn't interest me what you do for a living. I want to know what you ache for and if you dare to dream of meeting your heart's longing. It doesn't interest me how old you are. I want to know if you will risk looking like a fool for love for your dream for the adventure of being alive. It doesn’t interest me what planets are squaring your moon... I want to know if you have touched the centre of your own sorrow if you have been opened by life's betrayals or have become shrivelled and closed from fear of further pain. I want to know if you can sit with pain mine or your own without moving to hide it or fade it or fix it. I want to know if you can be with joy mine or your own if you can dance with wildness and let the ecstasy fill you to the tips of your fingers and toes without cautioning us to be careful to be realistic to remember the limitations of being human. It doesn't interest me if the ...

“Instinct is the part of us, as in all animals, that knows without thinking what and when to do something, how to respond, which way to go. Like the salmon that swims its way across hundreds of river miles to its birthplace, we too have inborn impulses that don’t require thinking to get us there.  Instinct is our “right responsiveness” guiding us towards our yesses, and away from our noes. For many of us, however, this instinct has been so blunted, domesticated and harnessed for its resources that we barely recognize its call.  Instead of being taught to protect yourself from things or people who might do you harm, you may have learned to distrust your own feelings, boundaries, and reactions.  If you grow accustomed to overriding your responses, over time you stop being able to recognize intrusions and violations.  You may have delayed reactions to poor behaviour.  You may have even find yourself dwelling on moments in which you wish you’d said or done somethin...

Trauma is not what happened to us but how our nervous system has adapted to what has happened or didn't happen to us.  It is how our nervous system has learned to process life. ⁣⁣ One common adaptation: ⁣ ⁣ - the adaptation towards intensity or intensity driven;  be on high alert, scanning for threat, en-guard and defensive, overdoing, ruminating or replaying challenging experiences, imagining and projecting black and white scenarios, overwhelming emotions such as anger or rage.  This is a system that holds a high degree of unresolved stress and trauma. We resort to this coping mechanism because the nervous system has impaired capacity to process intensity and so, we remain on high alert. That unprocessed energy builds up creating more and more distress. ⁣ ⁣ When we fail to recognize what drives high levels of intensity in our system we risk continuing patterns of making uninformed choices, forgetting or dismissing our boundaries and potentially retraumatising our central...

The Self is Ordinary, Ever-Present Awareness As we’ll see, the Upanishads, the source texts of Vedanta, talk of the Self in a poetic, grandiose and exalted way. This can make it seem that the Self is something cosmic, lofty and transcendent; something far removed from the everyday little person we’re all so intimately familiar with. In actual fact, the Self is your ordinary, everyday awareness. It’s the awareness that has been looking out of your eyes your entire life and in which every sight, sound, object, thought, emotion, desire and fear has been experienced. “The self that you are, the self that you are going to realise, is totally ordinary,” James Swartz writes. “It is the awareness that is observing your mind take in these words, nothing more. It is not inaccessible at all. It is hidden in plain sight. It is always present and greatly unappreciated for no other reason than lack of understanding.” The Self is pure awareness. It is the awareness in which the world of objects, incl...
