This is a PERSONAL ENRICHMENT and HEALING program

INTRODUCTION

Healing is recovery from a set of mis-beliefs and (dis)illusion(ment). We are in constant search for happiness, contentment, and success. What we do not realise is that our disposition (the way we generally think and feel) determines whether we feel happy or not.

As we walk the journey of healing or recovery we realise that we are the source of our own happiness and contentment. It is a commitment to self. Instead of being in constant search of an outer source of ‘fulfillment’, we realise that we are our own saviour.

At a certain stage of the journey we also realise that true happiness and fulfillment is drawn from the relationship that we create with our ‘greater-self’ and the Divine Presence that we all part of. 

THIS PROGRAM – through various stages – walks you through the process from simple awareness to wholeness in Self and Oneness with the Divine Presence.

FROM BITTERNESS TO WHOLENESS

Our spiritual evolution is a process on an upward spiral. But for now it feels that I really understand the cycle of the journey I call from Bitterness to Wholeness. I look at it as a cycle because it is constantly swirling presence of energy. I walk this journey with consciousness awareness on a daily basis in a very practical way. In order to get here, however, I needed to discover the major elements that I call stations on this journey.

The stations are:
1. Self awareness aka becoming present
2. Forgiveness and letting go aka release
3. Awareness of the greater picture aka acceptance
4. Gratitude and Compassion aka embrace
5. Wholeness and Oneness aka surrender into the Loving of God

Each element or station, as I discovered them in their depth, builds on each other that’s why I call this a psiral process.

The Process

1. Probably self-awareness is or has been the major part of my journey because it comprises of a lot of different things. On one hand, it is a discovery of our denials, lies, bitterness, frustration, anger or our victimhood. It is also about breaking down the false self-image that we built to protect ourselves. It is also about our wishes and dreams. At the same time, it helps us discover our powers, strengths, and uniqueness. And finally, it is about looking at our journey so far – becoming aware of the glorious as well as the painful events in our lives; how we have integrated all that into our understanding of ourselves; and what conclusions we have drawn about ourselves as a result of these events. Though self-awareness is a great part of the journey, it’s only the beginning or the foundation of the greater journey.

2. The second station is forgiveness and letting go. This is probably the most challenging part of the spiral. We need to understand, however, that forgiveness and letting go open the door to greater, deeper and more beautiful experiences . Through forgiveness and letting go, we, literally, embrace our Life with all its twists and turns in its entirety. Letting go often refers to letting go of false ideas, self images, and misunderstandings as well as false expectations.

3. We have arrived to the actual ‘spiritual’ part of our journey. The next step on our spiral staircase is actually the result of the previous two steps, which is awareness of the greater picture or  of the greater journey, and an awareness of our greater-self. Meditation, contemplation, and connecting to the Divine Presence is a big part of this stage. This is the station where we start becoming aware of our spirit, our higher self, our spiritual journey, our relationship with the Divine Presence or God. As we do that, we can start moving into the Loving with IT ALL, including ourselves. Loving is a sense of alignment and an awareness that we are part of ‘everything’ and ‘everything’ is the part of us. This alignment helps us accept all there is just as they are, knowing that all that is going on right now is part of a greater movement, and all is well.

4. The next station of the spiral staircase is gratitude. As a result of seeing the greater picture and becoming aware of our own indwelling Loving Spirit that is constantly connected to God’s Loving Presence, and being able to experience this loving presence more consciously, we automatically become grateful. Gratitude is a conscious action. We choose to see the good. We develop faith in the good in self, in others, and in the Universe. In our gratitude, we start seeing the puzzle pieces of our lives in greater depth and as part of a bigger picture with all its challenges and beauties. We willingly see how our life is built with precision, care and Loving. We also start to see how difficulties, challenges, drama, even devastation, overcoming, and triumphs, all add to the greater movement of Life itself for us all. In gratitude, we stop judging, blaming, shaming, and expecting: We arrive to a sense of peace. I see compassion as an accompaniment to Gratitude. As we are compassionate, we accept all there is, as it is. Compassion helps us be grateful. 

5. As we practice all the above steps, we find ourselves surrendered to the Flow of Life. At this stage, we consciously align ourselves with the Loving Presence of God. As a result, we simply find ourselves in wholeness with ourselves, our lives and our (imperfect)  world; and in Oneness with the Loving that is of God.

What is on offer?

In Unity we talk about ‘raising our level of consciousness from the material world to the immaterial in a way that it effects our physical journey in a positive and practical way’. We offer various classes, workshops, individual discussions (mentoring sessions) that will support you the walk the cycles of the upward journey at your own pace in your own time with your own level of awareness using UNITY tools and ART.

OUR greatest wish for you is that you can walk your journey called Life with greater awareness of your own unique beauty, and a deeper sense of knowing of the Divine Presence that watches over you at every step of your journey, so you can experience more loving, happiness, contentedness, joy, and much more smiles.
