ELM 6: East Expedition
To be completed by our 3rd call

SESSION ONE:
COMBINED TIME OF 45 MINUTES
ACTIVITY ONE
15 MINUTES ON A QUIET EARLY MORNING AT SUNRISE OR A QUIET LATE NIGHT BEFORE YOUR DREAMS
If possible, arrange a time when you are on your own… in nature or near a window with a candle… create a sacred space for yourself and then listen to the podcast
ACTIVITY TWO
30 MINUTES IN NATURE
You will now go to your power place in nature. Bring yourself to a quiet and contemplative energy within. To do this, we most often need to consciously quiet the mind, allow any current issues or challenges to be set aside for the time being, and create the space for inner stillness. If you wish, listen once more to the podcast and allow this melody of images and words wash over you and bring you to your contemplation.
Reflect and begin the creation of your I AM poetry expression
SESSION TWO:
COMBINED TIME OF 2 HOURS
Arrange prior to your experience to have a deep sharing with a buddy (PAIR) after your experience.
(Zoom, WhatsApp, Skype)
PREPARATION FOR ACTIVITY ONE:
You will now be entering some deep reflection that invites you to listen to a more subtle kind of language. You will be asked to remember the time before you were born, and what you remember about your birth.
Before you begin, please read this story: (click on the right +)
More often than not, if asked, we would say we are not able to answer these kinds of questions. That is because we are used to access our conscious awareness and less often our unconscious awareness, or our subconscious awareness. When we open this kind of reflection, we need to shift our awareness to pay attention to a different kind of language. This is more subtle language, where we can receive impressions, images, subtle knowing and intuitive feeling to sense these things.
My Story:
I was invited to an intuitive art session by my sister. (years ago) (over 30 years ago as a matter of fact)… I received some instruction in the early part of the day, and then after a visualization experience with a small group, led by the art instructor, we all gathered in the art room. The walls were covered with shelves filled with all kinds of materials. We each chose some and the others began. The art instructor came to me and said she was going to draw two circles on my paper, and then asked me to tell her where to put each of them and how big they should be.
I said that I had no idea at all. She took that in stride and asked me again. I said I had no clue. She again, with patience, asked me to check inside and asked again. By this time, I was a bit irritated and to just overcome this hurdle I threw my hands out and said this big and here and here… very loosely. Ok…whew… now what… I thought… Here are the two circles. I asked the instructor, do I paint inside them or outside of them? She answered, oh you can paint anywhere you like… Then a part of me wanted to say, so why did you make me draw the circles!!! (I didn’t though)
So… ok here I go… I am ready to paint. I can’t. OMG! Why not? Because I can now feel the circles are in the wrong place!!! This is amazing to me! So… I go back and let the instructor know what happened. She is calm and collected… and says ok, no problem… let’s redraw them. I knew exactly where they needed to go and how big they had to be. Amazing…
One more thing…
After I painted on the first paper, I asked the art instructor what is next. She said, well, do you need to draw circles again? (Can you believe it!!!) I said I had no clue… (that was my conscious awareness speaking) But then after some reflection, I found I could “know” that yes, I did need to draw them again. And guess what? They were in different places and they were different sizes! And I knew exactly where they needed to be. I had found a way to access the unconscious knowing within me. But my brain could not tell me how. I had to feel, and sense into a deeper place.
This is simply a story to illustrate we can access other ways of knowing.
