Synkinesia (Together Movement)

If you’re interested in change/NLP/ Hypnosis/attention.Check in for a piece on Synkinesia here soon.Teaser…..I will tweet a notation from my Kindle over the next two days from an interesting book which has rejuvenated an interest I have in Attention and physiology.

I dont really understand and it works (REIKI)

There is one area in my life where I made a decision, early on in my learning a new skill ,to accept what was happening and not spend too much time questioning the reality or asking how.

Having been made a Reiki Master in 2001 (I was also training as a Hypnotherapist at the time)I chose to use Reiki in my own environment without fuss or charging money for providing it as a service(A personal decision grown I suspect from Diane Stein and her book “Essential Reiki”),this decision included providing Reiki attunements without monetary charges (There are conditions attached,see note later)

Reiki is one of those areas that I consider to work at “Perceptions Edge”,where understanding what is occurring at a sensory level is difficult and surprising/novel,And I have not felt it necessary to push,prod or probe at it’s all to obvious positive effects for me (you will have your own experiences or not)and the many people and animals I have assisted or taught.

[If you know me you will recognise how strange this state of not knowing or needing to know is for me]

So, Martin does it work? you might say. Yes it does, and it exists in my reality (or one of them ) as one of those skills/tools that if we all agreed with and actioned its core principles (we can heal ourselves and others) our relationship with the world and our personal realities would be somewhat different and dare I say more pleasant.

But ,Martin , Isn’t it strange,magical hoodoo?…. Only to the extent you decide it is, is a mother kissing a childs bruised knee and the pain going away strange? NO is that real Magic YES.

So using the principle of “If it ain’t broke don’t fix it” I doubt I shall ever really question the how or why and focus on the intention (Healing)  leaving Reiki as a tool to that end at “Perceptions Edge”.

NOTE: Conditions for Attunement with no monetary charge.

1: In my time and where I choose.(I’m altruistic but hey I have a life .)

2: I expect participants to pay associated expenses divided equally between them and this includes any organising party.

3:I would prefer prospective participants to be known to me or refered to me by some one I know.

4:Participants agree to provide me with information as to how they want to use Reiki and for what purpose prior to any attunement.

5:Those attuned agree to not charge for giving Reiki.(They are welcome to exchange services and there will be no policing , their word and a handshake is their bond)

6:There is no certificate issued,if the above (5:) is agreed there is no need for one.

7:I reserve the right to choose who I teach or not without explanation.

I have personally made a decision to not charge and associated with that have provided my own conditions,I believe that we each make our choices as to how we teach and in what contexts (I do charge for other trainings, coaching, facilitation and workshops) and therefore understand that Reiki is a tool/skill that is charged for elsewhere.

I have no planned attunements at present and will update this blog if I do.

A veil between worlds (Mindfull Dreaming 26th September 2010)

We can spend up to a half of our life sleeping and a third of that dreaming…..What could you,would you decide to do with that time?

The veil between our dreaming and sleeping realities is a thin one,the boundary between the two easily crossed.Sometimes these crossings are made consciously with intention, and for those of you who have the skills to do so you may recognise some of the following.For those of you yet to learn these skills (and they are skills)of passing from one reality to another and consciously creating multiple environments in which to learn,develop, play and evolve, I envy your first steps into new realms.

(Travellers in these realms are called Oneironauts)

Science has shown, over the past 20 years or so, what artists (generalised term),mystics,teachers and every child knows at heart.1:That we all dream(we might not remember them!).2:That dreams have a real effect on our awakened state (whatever that is)just as our awakened states effect our dreams.3:That we can become conscious whilst dreaming and in doing so explore new worlds,worlds that exist with a minimal of interference from the world we believe we are consciously taking part in.4:That we can learn to cross the veil at will with intention.

These alternative realities can also unfortunately be a source of anxiety and fear to those who on awakening remember parts of their dreams and the feelings or responses to those dreams and consciously apply them in such a way as to cause concern, which can seep into the normal waking day.(nightmares being an example).Thus man has a history of using dreams to assist not only in understanding but in healing .

Understanding how to travel between waking and dreaming states (and what to do on the other side)offers the individual the development of a set of skills which might be used to enhance theirs and others lives,and with the correct practise will make use of periods of time where we might normally be otherwise engaged in lying still for hours at the whims of the bits and pieces of which we think we are made.

So what might you accomplish while you dream.

How about practising new behaviours,conversations with prospective employers,sports skills,creating new products or ideas,preparing for presentations,activating unconscious learning,meeting with a celebrity or flying around the room,or maybe coaching yourself …….

The veil between dreaming and awakening is thin and lives at Perceptions Edge……..and who is to say when you are awake or dreaming…..about being awake.   

The next programme is less than a week away.

Inception(The beginning or creation of something)

Having spent some considerable period of time fascinated by,researching and working with Memory,Dreams,Memes and Attention(And in the process of launching seminars on said subjects) it was with some interest that I decided to view the film “Inception”.

I am not sure what my expectations at the time where as they obviously changed as soon as the film began, and I have no real recollection of what they were…Haven’t I

What is of personal interest is who decided to launch a film that might peak Peoples curiosity in subject areas dear to my heart just as I am launching “Mindful Dreaming” and refining “A reflection of reality”(Subject: Memory) and “The bridge between Worlds”(Subject: Attention).Who or whatever decided on this timing my thanks and I will milk it for all its worth

The film itself was a stonking good action film (technical term) with a number of thought-provoking themes (I have already read numerous tweets intellectualising its content as you do?) raising questions about reality,dreams,idea installation(memes),memories and yes attentional shifts.

Having had it compared to “The Matrix” I would suspect that it will be discussed in a similar way yet hope it remains a single film (no parts 2 and 3 blah, unless I get astounding numbers for my seminars and a sequel might boost said numbers hmmmmm   )

The fun part is that most of the ideas/plot lines are achievable.I will expand on this in a week or so when more people have had a chance to see the film(ooops am I installing the idea you should see it?????????) as I do not wish this output to become a spoiler.

Now back to the title of this post , as you might have heard (if you haven’t you are now) I have launched a new one day seminar/come workshop on the subject of understanding and working with dreams called

 “Mindful Dreaming”.

The second date has been decided(though its possible others may be inserted between now and then) . The 26th September 2010 (A Sunday this time, outside of the holiday period and a weekend as requested).As previously supplied there is an attached .pdf with the booking contact information.

I will send out a post over the next 2 weeks highlighting the areas in “Inception”covered during the programmes,those of you that have seen the film are welcome to discuss the content with me privately at your leisure.

” Information/Knowledge,News of difference is found at the boundaries between things”…as you fall asleep or wake up you are crossing the boundaries between multiple states of awareness…what if you could increase a conscious understanding of what is available at these boundaries?

What if you could walk Perceptions Edge?

 

Would You?

Mindful Dreaming
