Bhakti (devotion to the Supreme) and Seva (being of service to the Supreme) is the intention underpinning all my work - whether compassionate inquiry, mentoring, bodywork or yoga - it is guided and informed by relationship with truth and the infinite consciousness within that is uncontainable. The beautiful and intelligent ever vibrant pulse, that is our very being-ness. We are not isolated individuals, we are all interconnected by that same pulse, and I am ever curious about the dance between our conditioned and limited wounded self and our infinite soul. A soul which remains intact on an individual level, no matter what may have happened to us. I see our work and purpose, as a collective, as a dis-identification from the protective adaptive, limited self and a move towards remembering and revealing our innate true nature, our true Selves: by ownership, and thus embracing wholeness. Trauma is neither an event, nor simply what happened to us, it is a survival response that is still resonating in the body mind. trauma means wound and being responsible (response-able) means allowing that resonance to be seen so that the emergence of something indefinable may arise, of itself, for that very wounding conceals and belies the unity underneath. The work is not to save, fix nor heal, it is to allow, to stand with and to witness. From absence to presence. Disconnection to connection. That is the possibility.
Consciousness pours out constantly from oneness into diversity - through the senses, through the mind, the body… Primordial means that at the beginning of that outpouring it’s still one with it’s original Source. So we have to look for where everything starts. Where does memory, sensation, experience start? Where does it all start? Where does perception start?
That is the inquiry…
Samacitta समचित्त seemed fitting as a word for the container of this work; it is a sanskrit word meaning: even-minded, possessing equanimity, equable
