The healing power of the Energy-body: Emotion, Stillness + Expression

Shamanic skills + Feldenkrais with Piero Bianciardi

22- 27 June Lesbos 

Start walking... your legs will get heavy
and tired. Then comes a moment
of feeling the wings you've grown
lifting.' -Rumi

In this retreat we will explore how to work with the healing power of the energy-body surrounding our physical body which is the key to our physical health, how we deal with emotions and how we express our soul potential in the world.

Helen will share shamanic healing techniques to clear the energy-body of imprints from past traumas and toxic emotions and to strengthen and fine tune it as a healing instrument. Piero will introduce each day with an exploration of the Feldenkrais method focusing on the subtle perceptions of the energy-body in movement awareness.

In our healing work we will discover how through the energy-body we can track back to the roots of our emotions and moods. We will observe and release the habitual patterns of tension in mind and physical body which bind us to time, such as worrying, comparing, judging, focusing on the past or future. Through embodying our energy-body wisdom we re-collect our wholeness back into the present.

We will work with stillness, spontaneous movement, creative expression, voice, chakra healing and other methods to anchor our energy-body awareness as vitality, clarity and self confidence in our everyday selves.

On the way we dissolve the habit of insecurity. The mind interprets insecurity as a signal that something is wrong but actually it is a call for our consciousness to be more awake and aware, a call to freedom. Holding this process in energy-body awareness allows us to step out of conditioned patterns. It provides the much needed energy for new adventures: like wings.

 

Discovering how to create a dynamic alliance with insecurity without the debilitating thoughts that usually go with it is like suddenly realizing the burden on your back is the power of flight. The soul potential we are carrying is set free.

This retreat brings together Peruvian shamanic techniques from Alberto Villoldo and the Light Body School with the work of Manuel Schoch, modern mystic and healer and creator of 'Time Therapy' plus Feldenkrais techniques for energy-body embodiment.

Liberating Heart Stillness

19 - 22 April Artemis retreat centre Hydra

 

We will explore ways of opening awareness to take us more effortlessly and deeply into stillness and to melt tightness and old pain from the heart. As we come closer to our heart stillness a different quality of inner presence emerges and we can begin to unfold the wisdom of the energy-body as bridge to clear consciousness. Through the clarity of this non-judgemental awareness we discover aspects of our own potential which may be hidden under what we think are weaknesses. 

We will practice shamanic techniques to dissolve and release forms of negativity, self criticism, self doubt into free flowing creative energy and personal power. Working with the energy-body each emotion can return to its root as authenticity, flow. In this way we can dissolve psychosomatic symptoms, lighten the burdens on our body and mind and uplift our relationships.

We work with stillness in spontaneous movement, breath, creative expression, chakra healing and soul retrieval to anchor our energy-body wisdom into clarity, realisation and self confidence in our everyday lives.

 

Energy-body healing, Ancestral wisdom and timelessness

13 - 14 April @Athens Choros Space 10.30 - 5.30pm

'There will only ever be one single way to put a real step forward which is in a state of ecstasy that takes us out of ourselves. This is how it always has been and will be for each of us; and this also is how it is for the whole' - Peter Kingsley 

With the eclipse energy bringing a focus on Chiron - personal and global pain and healing - now more than ever we need to be in an ongoing flow of communication with stillness, our out-of-time wisdom and inner guides to help us to heartfully navigate the confusion, insecurity, loss and suffering within and around us. 

We are all carriers of the collective madness but through our discipline of stillness we can become alchemists, transforming the massive wave of chaos around us into an ongoing awakening energy. Even the smallest action that arises out of aligned stillness ripples beyond time far beyond our comprehension. 

In this workshop we will explore the innate healing power of our energy-body to anchor our capacity for clear seeing and liberate our soul potential. On the journey we will work with any remaining shadows of unfinished emotions through soul retrieval within our ancestral line and in our current and past life memories, liberating energy stuck in frozen sadness, despair, trauma or regrets. In this way we also unfold the positive wisdom energy passed down to us from past generations to reveal the love and support of those who stand behind us.

To deal with the intense vortex of the coming times we need our full transparency and vitality of soul potential, the positive essence of our ancestral lineage and of our own accumulated lifetimes of wisdom. Alberto Villoldo writes that we are shifting from Homo Sapiens to Homo Luminous but to do this we need to listen, move, express ourselves, live from the timeless energy body level not the time bound physical body-mind level. Emotions in the physical body-mind keep us turning endlessly on the wheel of time. Emotions in the energy-body return us to their root as timeless cosmic wave. 

We will discover how timelessness can be accessed through listening without gaps, without internal narratives as we shift from an identity as history (homo sapiens) to identity as soul potential (homo luminous). We will practice stillness in motion, in emotion, in expression, inner journeying and ancestral healing.

To be in stillness means being in total insecurity with no reaction, no knowing and total observation. Observing something and staying with it is the process of love'  Manuel Schoch

'To comprehend the visibility of the invisible is a life's work' - Peter Brook

In this introductory workshop we will explore shamanic techniques to shift our perceptual state into heightened awareness in order to begin to comprehend the visibility of the invisible, to make the invisible perceivable.

We will start by exploring the relationship between our physical body and the surrounding space, the invisible world of energy and what the shamans call the 'luminous energy field' or 'energy-body'.

We will play at this edge between visible and invisible worlds, between bodily sensing and subtle sensing of our energy-body, being seen and seeing, unfolding what we can perceive with breath, spontaneous movement, voice and stillness. This will take us into inner journeying, soul retrieval and a space for solo expression.

As we start to perceive the invisible the opaqueness of the everyday mind naturally falls away exposing whatever is left - presence, truth, transparency, charisma.

Self reflection - self expression - self healing

Paddock Art Studios Lewes 4 November - 2 December 2022

Friday evenings 7 - 9 pm

We will explore in different media the relationship between the visible and invisible.

 

We will look at how we see ourselves and observe the difficulty of the eye -  I - to see itself. On the way we delve into soul retrieval, deepening stillness, dissolving the inner critic, and opening the great eagle wings that belong to our visionary seeing. 

'Your legs will get heavy and tired. Then comes a moment of feeling the wings you've grown, lifting' - Rumi

Sadness in joy, joy in sadness: Ecstasy

Athens 3 - 4 November 2017

Sadness is the bridge to love – Manuel Schoch

 

Probably most of us as healers are familiar with sadness as the most powerful healing emotion and are generally able to allow the heart opening that it brings us. However we still carry within us such deep wells of sadness – personally and globally, consciously and unconsciously - that it is hard to liberate our full healing vitality or true heart’s joy. Seeing what we see around us, seeing what we see within us, the suffering, the unlived potential, inevitably some sadness arises, even if we are constantly focusing on being ‘positive’. Manipulating our minds tends to bring a backlash as thankfully truth is more powerful than illusion! But realising sadness within joy brings liberation.

 

Whenever sadness becomes unconscious it tends to manifest as depression, anxiety, physical tension, frustration, hopelessness, judgements, addictions, aggression…. Whatever emotion is troubling us we can be sure that it is a symptom, not the root cause of our trouble. Its ultimate root is sadness.

 

Whenever we suppress our awareness of it or collapse into this underlying sadness we disconnect with a dynamic part of our own energy and soul force. Un-integrated sadness ultimately plays havoc with everything from our relationships to our health.

 

Naturally the mind tries to escape from it as sadness often seems synonymous with pain – when  we are not connected with Source. But as in homeopathy returning to the root of our symptoms we create true healing. At Source the sadness we have been resisting becomes paradoxically fresh energy, ecstasy, peace and inner strength. We start to recognise sadness as pure atmosphere of sacred presence, Christ-Buddha consciousness, Our true consciousness. 

 

Tuning into sadness with absolute stillness like all skills needs to be practiced, strengthened, renewed in order to gather ongoing lost awareness back to a zero balance where realisations can take us into further leaps of consciousness, and deeper heart presence. As healers we are – consciously or unconsciously – carriers of whatever sadness is around us. This can be heavy work! Whenever our inner journey feels blurred or stuck it is likely that sadness has caught us, then the path of liberation is to catch sadness! True seeing is all it takes, transformation happens by itself like magic.

 

The cure for pain is in the pain - Rumi

Internal Alchemy: Transforming Emotions into Liberated Energy, Power and Wisdom 

 

Athens 26 - 27 Feb 2016

AN EVENING MEDITATION exploring how we can transform emotions back to their source in pure energy. Through stabilising inner space we come to a new realisation of the choice point where feelings such as sadness, fear or even anger can be experienced at their root as expansion of consciousness, soul potential, rather than collapse into familiar conditioned reactions. Playfully yet attentively we are planting the seeds of our own freedom.

ONE DAY WORKSHOP working with specific patterns of emotions which tend to hijack our consciousness, whether through sudden outbursts like anger or through subtle long-term infiltration, like anxiety or hopelessness. In Tibetan Buddhism the emotions are viewed as the poisons binding us to Karmic repetition until they are transformed into the wisdom aspects of consciousness, the power of the 'Dakinis'.

 

We will practice simple but powerful techniques to liberate this wisdom energy from the conditioned emotional responses which hold us prisoner to an out-of-date, disempowered identity. Our feelings are the vibrant music of our soul, and once we discover how to access them at source as subtle energy our authentic passion and compassion can shine out in the transforming wisdom of who we truly are.

 

'I want to unfold, Let no place in me hold itself closed, For where I am closed I am false'. - Rilke

Unforgetting: Liberating Heart Stillness, a one day workshop 

 

 

We will explore ways of assembling our perception to take us more effortlessly and deeply into stillness and to melt tightness and old pain from the heart. As we come closer to our heart stillness a different quality of inner presence emerges. The sacred potential that we are carrying, which our cultural and social hypnosis suppresses, can reveal itself more clearly. As we anchor this quality our light, which is often scattered and dull, returns to transparency and brightness. 

 

We will work with the energy-body through shamanic healing, including journeying and soul retrieval to reclaim this clarity of our light so that our natural charisma can shine out, our energy can flow with its authentic force and power and our physical body can rest in its innate ease.

Spirit Flight: Transitions and Journeying between the Worlds 

 

There is neither a this-world nor another-world, but only the great unity - Rilke 

 

The mystics say that to be truly alive we need to re-learn the ancient art of dying before we die. For shamans this is the initiation which takes us beyond fear and the limitations of the everyday mind. The dying process gives us a blueprint for letting go and moving on in every aspect of our lives. 

 

The ego can never step outside of time because it only exists in time! To meet the timeless Self means to surrender the controlling mind into stillness, desireless awareness. Why wait until we die at the end of our lives to discover who we truly are?! 

 

This workshop explores the dying process as a source of profound healing. The Spirit Flight journey creates a shift in consciousness, an out of body experience and entry into a different quality dimension. Many people who have had a literal 'near death experience' describe a similar state of being: a sense of oneness, bliss, love, peace. Our Soul wisdom is re-ignited by direct connection with Source. This is the treasure which lights up our lives. 

 

Once we have reconnected the luminous pathways of the mind between the worlds there is no more fear of the end of life. The root of fear dissolves into the source of light. 

 

'Use your own light and return to the source of light. This is called practicing eternity'  Lao Tse

Lefefkada, Greece 14 - 21 June 2015 

 

The Heart of Transformation: Dynamic Stillness in Practice 

 

 

This retreat brings together practices of awakening Energy and Consciousness to create a fundamental shift in our way of being. We will be exploring Qigong, Stillness Meditation, spontaneous movement and Shamanic journeying in a stunning Greek island location in Lefkada. 

 

'Simply plunging directly into the moment now, with our whole being, free from hesitation, boredom or excitement, IS enlightenment' Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche

 

 

Through the practice of Qigong we create inner space and reclaim the childlike natural ease of our bodies. In the process we clear stagnant energy from the heart and from wherever it manifests as mis-information in the body to rediscover our innate capacity for self-healing and well-being. In this way we retrain ourselves to engage with the world from a rooted realisation of the power of our dynamic luminous body.

 

We will practice shamanic journeying to clear our energy field of imprints of old trauma, shock and soul fragmentation so our full wisdom potential can carry us in a new direction beyond the limitations we have learnt to live with, which we call everyday mind. 

 

Through open-eye meditation we will stabilise our capacity for effortless stillness. In this dynamic stillness we can experience ourselves as direct perceiving presence, free from our mind's commentary which fixes us in pain and worry. In stillness of mind and heart we learn to transform fear, attachment and other emotions into pure power of presence before they show up as physical and mental tension, so we can dissolve psychosomatic symptoms, lighten the burdens on our body and mind and uplift our relationships.

 

The Heart is the centre of all our practice, the doorway between self and greater Self, that vast Unknown, into which we dive to retrieve our undiscovered treasure. This dive takes us on a creative and mysterious journey where a profound inner transformation can take place at the root of our being. 

 

Through mastering these precious skills we can realise and maintain our true inner freedom at all times.

Eagle wisdom: ruthless seeing at the root of forgiveness 

 

 

 

Freedom is what you do with what's been done to you - Jean-Paul Sartre  
Now that my heart is open it can't be closed or broken - Lhasa

 

Wherever there is lack of forgiveness there is soul loss and fragmentation of energy and of consciousness. We identify with a fragment of our experience and thus we create conflict, repetition, history, karma. Forgiveness is the ending of karmic patterns that have kept us captive for lifetimes; it is the ending of time, of duality. Why wait till we die to claim our freedom? 

 

How can we do this? We have all tried manipulating our thoughts and emotions to conform to a spiritual or compassionate ideal and to be less judgemental. But this merely adds to our conflict against ourselves! 

 

In this workshop we will call on Eagle and our own power animal to guide us in reassembling our perception in absolute stillness beyond everyday mind, ruthlessly observing our conflicts with clear heart-seeing so that we can catch a glimpse through the circling of duality to its source. And then a totally different landscape comes into view. 

 

To explore what is happening we will practice a technique of shamanic alchemy which can transform our worst adversaries and resistant habits into allies and resources. It takes us directly to the root of forgiveness where judgements and conflicts against ourselves and others can spontaneously shift into self-realisation and fresh energy. 

 

Absolute unconditional forgiveness happens here in the space of non-duality, where self and 'not-self', light and shadow dissolve into emptiness. It carries the infinite healing power of sadness which can break open our hearts and bring a lifetime of suffering to an end. 

 

This is our practice and the beginning of who we truly are.

 

So the darkness shall be the light, and the stillness the dancing - TS Eliot 'Four Quartets'

Skydancing: the art of embodied emptiness

 

This retreat offers an experience of profound transformation through tracking emotions back to their source in emptiness where they become pure fuel for creativity. Through intent, meditation, and spontaneous movement you will claim your freedom of expression, and unfold the luminous potential that expresses your soul's dream.

 

Learn to master the art of listening to empty space, unfolding invisible feelings within the luminous body before they crystallise in the physical body. We hold the mystery, not knowing, until it becomes magic. When self consciousness becomes timeless awareness energy, power and presence is born.

 

Through this effortless listening you will naturally enter ego-less states of being: innocence, reverence, grace, bliss. Freedom comes from this connection with non-self, emptiness. We become an instrument of perception. Perception becomes expression, emptiness becomes dance.

Eagle Medicine: Presence as Destiny

'Then comes a moment of feeling the wings you've grown lifting.' - Rumi 

 

This workshop is about bringing together all that we know and returning to the source of not knowing. How can we live so that our days can be conscious of themselves, and so that we can be carriers of timelessness in spite of the time-dragging turmoil around us? We have our healing gifts, our unique skills, a certain fluidity of movement between visible and invisible worlds, the demands of our everyday lives and a hypnotic 'reality' collapsing around us. How can we bring together in ongoing sacred space all our potential, our capacity for awakened seeing, our training and commitment and creativity, to unfold our real wings and stay present? 

 

Through the practise of not knowing we strengthen our energetic alignment with the power of intent, with our own wisdom lineages and we facilitate the dissolving of fear. Recapitulating our consciousness skills we will discover how to maintain a flowing stillness in creative interaction, in movement, in healing and meditation. We will track for any stubborn old patterns of self-sabotage or self-hypnosis that keep us stuck in who we were, in disempowerment, exposing the illusion of incompleteness, working on each other to fine tune our 'seeing' in soul retrieval and other healing skills. We will share specific transmissions that can empower and renew our energy and seed our new awareness into our night time dreams. Thus we prepare ourselves to navigate more skilfully the complex flow of the times to come, permitting the full potential of our soul presence to guide us beyond our understanding onto a wholly new destiny line.

la Pienezza dal Vuoto: Un esplorazione del silenzio interiore attraverso la pratica mistica e sciamanica

 

 

'Immergersi direttamente nel momento in cui siamo ora, con tutto il nostro essere, senza esitazioni, noia o eccitazione, questa  l'illuminazione' - Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche 

'Usa la tua luce per tornare alla fonte di luce. Questa si chiama la pratica dell'eternita' - Lao Tse 

 

In questo workshop si intraprende un viaggio interiore alla scoperta del silenzio profondo. Il vuoto  uno stato dell'essere in cui si raccoglie spontaneamente in un attualit non temporale, l'energia dell'anima frammentata nel tempo. Il vuoto diventa la pienezza assoluta: l'estasi spirituale del mistico e l'illuminazione liberatrice dello sciamano. 

 

Si seguir un filo comune che collega le tradizioni mistica e sciamanica, aprendoci al vuoto attraverso il movimento, l' immobilita, il respiro e la danza. Sul percorso mistico si esplora la danza meditativa dei dervishi. 

Entrando nel vuoto attraverso la via sciamanica, invece, utilizzeremo varie tecniche per sciogliere la rigidità della mente ipnotizzata da un' identità fissa nel tempo, l'ego e la paura. Si rivela il corpo luminoso. Sognare ad occhi aperti un metodo molto semplice per scoprire un identita fluida fuori dal tempo, con un immediato effetto di silenzio interiore e uno scioglimento delle insicurezze psicologiche. Il silenzio interiore non e assenza di disturbo, ma assenza di paura. Con la liberazione dell' inquietudine della mente, il vuoto può diventare un punto di riferimento unico per la navigazione e l'espressione creativa dell'anima, svegliandoci dall'illusione, profondamente radicata, di incompletezza. Il vuoto si rivela come la consapevolezza piena e noi gli strumenti della sua espressione.

Hummingbird medicine: Stillness at the edge of madness

 

'I said to my soul, be still, and wait without hope 
For hope would be hope for the wrong thing; wait without love, 
For love would be love of the wrong thing; there is yet faith 
But the faith and the love and the hope are all in the waiting. 
Wait without thought, for you are not ready for thought: 
So the darkness shall be the light, and the stillness the dancing' 
TS Eliot 'Four Quartets' 

'There will only ever be one single way to put a real step forward  which is in a state of ecstasy that takes us out of ourselves. This is how it always has been and will be for each of us; and this also is how it is for the whole' - Peter Kingsley 'A story waiting to pierce you'

 

In this workshop we align our intent with the invisible forces that are taking us forward individually and globally. We are all carriers of the collective madness but through our discipline of stillness we can become alchemists, transforming the massive wave of insecurity around us into an ongoing awakening energy. Even the smallest action that arises out of aligned intent ripples beyond time far beyond our comprehension. Our aim is to become the ground that others can rest on even when in fear or conflict. 

 

We will practice the tools that we need to embody 'Satyagraha', a Sanskrit word used by Ghandi meaning 'soul force' or 'truth force' and awaken the powers within us that have been waiting for the call. We call on the creative power of our own madness at the edge of our identity. Taking many different paths into stillness (absence of fear, of thought, of identity) we explore how stillness can dissolve the consensus trance around us, how to practice stillness during interactions and how to create stillness or trance in others. We will do a 'Cuti Despacho' a Q'ero ceremony to clear negative energy (sorcery). And we will hold space for the unknown becoming to emerge freely.

Hummingbird: The medicine of Stillness 

 

'Love is movement out of stillness' - Manuel Schoch 

 

 

Now more than ever we need to be in an ongoing flow of communication with stillness, our out-of-time wisdom and inner guides, to help us keep our balance and safely, heartfully navigate the chaos around us.

 

We will practise stopping the inner dialogue at will and maintain this inner silence effortlessly with a focused Intent from a space out of reach of the critical mind. In order to accomplish this we will also work on cleansing our connection with Intent. 

 

We will tune into our guides and the wisdom keepers of our lineages in this life and past lives to receive their healing and support. And we will enter the space of stillness through many different doorways to enliven our capacity for flowing observation in any context, dissolving habits of effort, rigidity and separation. On the way we will clear out any remaining shadows of unfinished emotions in the luminous energy of the solar plexus (hummingbird chakra) especially frozen sadness and regrets, so that the flow of energy to the heart is undisturbed. Through stillness the heart naturally communicates our soul wisdom as the atmosphere of love. 

 

'To be in stillness means being in total insecurity with no reaction, no knowing and total observation. Observing something and staying with it is the process of love'  Manuel Schoch

 

'Simply plunging directly into the moment now, with our whole being, free from hesitation, boredom or excitement, is enlightenment' - Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche

Spirit Flight: the Journey Home 

Athens, 4 - 5th June 2011 10.30am - 6pm 

'Use your own light and return to the source of light. This is called practicing eternity' -  Lao Tse 

 

The mystics say that to be truly alive we need to re-learn the ancient art of dying before we die. Shamanic traditions call this coming out of life alive. For shamans the encounter with death as a visionary journey is the pre-requisite to stepping beyond fear and the limitations of the everyday mind. The 'ego' can never step outside of time because it only exists in time. To meet the timeless self requires surrender of the controlling mind, a kind of death. 

 

 

This workshop explores the dying process as a source of ongoing healing, as 'letting go', and as an experiential visionary journey. The Spirit Flight involves a shift in consciousness often felt as a literal separation from the physical body, an out of body experience, and entry into a different quality dimension. Many people who have had a 'near death experience' describe a similar state of being: a sense of oneness, bliss, love, peace. Once we have reconnected the luminous pathways of the mind between the worlds there is no more fear of the end of life. The root of fear dissolves into the source of light. 

 

'Death is the side of life that is turned away from us and not illuminated. We must try to achieve the greatest possible consciousness of our existence, which is at home in both these immeasurable realms, and inexhaustibly nourished by both. There is neither a this-world nor another-world, but only the great unity'. - Rilke 

***************************

The West: Jaguar Medicine: Fearlessness, recapitulation and 'seeing'

Athens 2 - 3 April 2011, 10.30 - 6pm @ Tune In, Poliklitou 1 (Vissis), Monastiraki 

Jaguar cleans up shadow energy and especially fear. In Quechua (the language of the Peruvian Q'ero) this dark heavy energy that hangs around us especially generated by fear or by the unfinished past is called 'Hoocha'. Jaguar enables us to transform this energy into light or 'Sami', awareness and power. The Jaguar sits in the hara and acts as a protector and guardian. We need to do our homework and step beyond our fears and personal history in order to create a strong relationship with Jaguar.

We will train using Jaguar energy to dissolve the shadow vibration of fear, insecurity and self consciousness. We will work from many different angles to clear imprints of old reactions, memories, relationships and unfinished emotions connected with fear. This includes working on current life, past life and ancestral patterns and, always at an energy level, fear-based emotions such as shame, jealousy, guilt, resentment and self pity.

As we experience fearlessness the hara becomes a centre of awareness which has a direct connection with seeing/knowing and with the brow chakra (third eye). We will practice techniques to balance these two chakras. We clean our Intent so that the everyday mind does not blur our capacity as seers. This leads us towards the work of Hummingbird (the North direction) where we will create inner silence and maintain it at will. 

We will practice recapitulation, a shamanic technique for completing personal stories to allow all our energy to be fully up to date and present in the moment. Finally we will learn and practice two transmissions of the Munay Ki, the rites of initiation gifted by the Q'ero. These are the protective Bands of Power and the Seer's Rite, which opens the neurological networks connecting the brow chakra, brain and heart.
