Where Pleasure Lives

WHERE PLEASURE LIVES

Just now,

Letting go

of mental review and prediction,

or even naming;

and simply sensing,

or rather aware-ing.

Even the witness disappears,

and there is only the experiencer.

This is the place where pleasure lives.

The mourning doves come

in these moments.

They fly in and directly approach me.

Time disappears,

Ambition disappears.

Needs disappear.

This open ended satisfaction

and pleasure-

Its Heart Centered-

100% open;

radiating, receiving,

being, beaming,

Blissing.

Blissing is a verb!

This is the ultimate nourishment.

Why would I trade it for less?

It is free of effort, free of trying.

Free of directing, free of reaching.

It is having.

I can have it all. I can give it all. I can be it all.

Love will hold it all.

Trust, surrender, trust, surrender, trust, surrender.

If it's meant to happen, it will.

And I will know.

Put your arms around me baby,

put your arms around me baby.

Put your arms around me baby.

We don't have to open to the flow-

Simply refrain from impeding it.

Letting go of worry, of fear, of shortage.

If you get quiet enough,

you will know,

you are eternal.

Life is eternal.

That moment of pleasure;

when we sink down into a warm bath?

That can be extended!

It can be invited.

It can be cultivated.

It's not situationally dependent.

It can be activated through attention.

It is activated through attention.

Focus, feel, flow.

Pouring in, pouring out,

Pouring through.

It is vast!

Yet the porthole is narrow.

But once you know the way,

it's merely a heartbeat away.

I don't know anyone else's experience.

I'm not meant to.

I attune to me,

and have access to you,

if I want to.

Cannabis sends me to this place.

But I don't need cannabis anymore.

Since now, at last, I'm safe.

Safe with me.

Safe here. Safe now.

Wait! - there's only here and now!

Safe always.

Leaning, leaning, safe and secure from all alarms,

Leaning, leaning, leaning on the everlasting arms.

Snuggling into warmth, and holding, and protection.

This is where I truly live;

here, with me.

HEALING THE WOUND OF NON-SUPPORT

We must receive support before we can ever give it Many of us were born and raised in homes where we did not receive the support we really needed in order to feel safe, seen, grounded, and valued. For whatever reasons, our parents and families and perhaps even our communities were unable to give us enough responsive attention for us to anchor a feeling of being empowered and supported into our Beings. Because we did not receive this support for our very Being, our essence, we came to distrust ourselves and those around us. We became unable to receive support, even when it was sincerely offered. We came to feel that we were a burden and that we didn’t deserve to have support or feel supported. We tried to make it through our lives by being totally self-sufficient. Since we couldn’t receive support, we reasoned, maybe we didn’t need it. We managed for quite some time in this way. But we found that we were unable to feel totally at ease with ourselves and ...

How to handle (unsolicited) advice

How can you handle (unsolicited) advice with care and compassion for the giver, and receive instead the active listening you want instead? Watch to hear more about why we give advice, what we really want, and how to be of greater support to yourself and to others as you look for guidance.

Living with Emotional intensity and remaining Anchored

As a Highly Sensitive Empath, I can easily over identify with another’s emotional state. Attuning to others is automatic for me. Yet I easily fall into others’ emotions, losing myself, losing my own emotional balance and losing perspective. It’s not comfortable nor sustainable. I’ve uncovered an intuitive and instinctive ability that lets me stay connected and present, highly attuned, yet not over-identified with, or engulfed by my own, or others’ emotional states. I’m able to be aware of and witness difficult or intense emotional states, without being overcome or unbalanced. I remain alert, yet relaxed. I don’t get activated into fight or flight. I’m able to ride these states without being thrown. I’d love to share this ability with you, and show you how to access it for yourself. If you could have access to a simple subtle practice that would moderate and eventually free you from emotional roller coaster-ing, yet allow you to have fully alive, emotionally connected, ...
