Bhakti (devotion to the Supreme Soul) and Seva (being of service to that that-ness itself) are the intention. All our work - whether with compassionate inquiry, in mentoring, with bodywork or with asana - is guided and informed by the infinite sea of consciousness that is uncontainable. The beautiful and intelligent chaos, vibration, that is beingness. We are not isolated individuals, we are all interconnected, and I am ever curious about the dance between our conditioning (what we learnt and experienced as the result of the morality and perceived good intent of our environment and system), and our collective ecology, our infinite shared soul. A soul which remains, no matter what may have happened to us. I see our work and purpose, collectively as human beings, as an un-doing of and a dis-identification from the protective systemic layers that have formed that conceal, or obstruct, the natural luminosity of the soul: together we can shine. It, the infinite darkness, the unspoken, is who we are if we are willing to see, hear and inquire deeply, with curiosity, presence and patience. Trauma is a buzz-word these days. and trauma is neither an event, nor what happened to us, it is what is happening inside of us in response to what hasn’t happened yet or didn’t happen in response to our woundedness. in literal terms trauma means wound and we get to stand with the wound, allowing it to be open and seen. when we feel stuck and sense into that very stuckness, then there is vitality and emergence of something indefinable. We neither save, fix nor heal, we allow, we stand with the emergence. Thus the vital, luminosity of the void, or blackness within is revealed by itself. From absence to presence. Disconnection to connection. That is the possibility.
Samacitta समचित्त seemed fitting as a word for the container of this work; it is a sanskrit word meaning: even-minded, possessing equanimity, equable
