Bhakti (devotion to the Supreme Soul) and Seva (being of service to that that-ness itself) are the intention. All our shared work - whether with compassionate inquiry, in mentoring, with bodywork or with asana - is guided and informed by the infinite sea of infinite consciousness 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 the same pulse, and I am ever curious about the dance between our conditioned and limited self and our collective essence, or true Self - our infinite shared soul. A soul which remains intact, 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 adaptive, limited self and a move towards remembering our innate natural luminosity and true Selves: together we can shine. Trauma is neither an event, nor simply what happened to us, it is what is happening inside of us in response to what happened and what hasn’t happened yet or didn’t happen in response to our woundedness. in literal terms trauma means wound and being responsible (response-able) means we get to stand with the wound, allowing it to be open and seen so that the emergence of something indefinable may arise, of itself. We neither save, fix nor heal, we allow, we stand with and witness. Thus by being alongside our valuable, adaptive survival instincts our propensity to thrive 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
