Mastery Training Fiji ~ Alan Cohen

Notes from the trip

 I find Myself In each Breath I hired him to exaggerate the way I talk to myself
Every direction that I aim my Consciousness in Flowers it Growing & Learning
Rest as who I am Get to the place where I feel good about myself
Quality requires Presence I have to Be the right person to Attract the right person
I Am Enough ~ I don't have to qualify myself for being on the planet by digging up an old story that was merely one experience in my Life ~ I Am Ever-Changing and Growing I Trust my hopes not my fears
Spirit, please show me the Truth about this
Let go of my preferences Trust the timing of things
Spirit has our best interest at Heart All journeys have destinations of which the travelers are not aware Once I get Clear the decision will reveal itself
Book: Journey To The East ~ Hermann Hesse Every experience that anyone has ever had is still in the Universe
The Journey down into My Heart ~ Have Fun along the way When I think any thought I am sending a pipeline
Simple Kindness and I have access to everything in that realm
I spot it, I got it
Building Spiritual Confidence Focus on something for 17 seconds and add emotion to it
If I have something important to say ~ say the end at the beginning and I will be taken to the next level
Never trouble trouble until trouble troubles you
If it's not Fun, hire it done Hurt people ~ hurt people
Sometimes the things that bug me the most Open me the most The critical voice is not my own
I can't hear until I’m ready to hear An insult is a boon to a Sage
Trust, Allow Support, and take the risk My attention is my strongest investment
Sometimes I can't change my environment but Everyone I meet is playing out my intention
I can always change my mind Why would I keep paying to go see the same bad movie?
Wouldn't it be sad if I finally found a man I COULD Trust
My True calling lies at the intersection of and I lost him because I didn't Trust him?
my deep Joy and the world’s deep hunger
As soon as I Trust myself, I will know how to Live

India

Incred!ble India! Since I returned home last Friday I continue to awake at 2-4 in the morning and cannot sleep any longer. My body-mind is still in India. What an amazing adventure! It was filled with so many great moments and deep, and sometimes painful learnings. Starting with the Taj Mahal which is a monument of love built by a Raja (king) for his deceased wife. It put such a spotlight on the potential of love that I lost sight of the beauty I have in my life already. As my teacher always said "comparison is the first step to unhappiness". Fortunately I found my way back to Love in the end.

We went to Mathura (birth place of Krishna), Bodhgaya, and sat under the Bodhi Tree where Buddha meditated. We went into the caves where he sat. But for me, the most touching experiences were connecting with the beautiful people of India. It was on my way back down from the caves that I had a very profound experience. There sat a young man, blind and deformed in his body with his pan held out for donations. As I approached him I could hear him say "NAMASTE, NAMASTE, NAMASTE" over and over and over again. I will never forget him. I gave him 50 rupees and one of my fellow travelers reached down and touched the side of his face. I could see that he was so moved by this. (I bet it has been a long time since anyone has touched him in that way) as she moved on I stood there watching him as he moved his hand to the other side of his face requesting another touch and continuing to chant Namaste.

Namaste means "The Divine in me recognizes the Divine in you" What a Beautiful word.
There is no such word in the English language that creates the connection that I felt when I spoke it and received it from the hundreds of people I met after this incident. What a teacher he was. I have known this word Namaste for many years but it had a whole new personalized meaning to it now. This one word went on to pave the way for the deepest experience of connection I have ever known with people whom I could not speak any other word of their language.

We made our way to Varanasi and participated in a special meditation on the sacred Ganga (called the Ganges River by the British). It was here in Varanasi where the streets were filled with such chaos that I learned about "being in the flow" with ALL Beings. There were cars, buses, tractors, cows, goats, rickshaws, dogs, bicycles, and people galore moving in every direction you can imagine and somehow it all worked. There were no accidents no red, yellow, and green lights. It all flowed and moved with such presence and purpose. My favorite image is of a donkey with a pack on its back running down the street amidst all of this. He had no human with him yet he knew exactly where he was going as if he was off to work in morning rush hour traffic. I giggle when I remember this but it was a great learning for me to accept the movement of life and to flow with it.

Next we moved on to Allahabad and joined in with the other 35 million, (yes that is right, 35 million!) other people who attended the Kumbh Mela festival. It is the largest festival of the human race which commemorates the most important episodes of Hindu mythology, including the battle between the Gods and demons for the possession of the Kumbh (pitcher) filled with Nectar. The legend immortalizes the victory of virtue over vice, good over bad, morality over immorality and life over death. We arrived on the most important bathing day when the Naga Sadhus (highest Holy Men, naked because they have denounced everything including their clothing) come down from the Himalaya Mountains and bathe in the Sangam, the holy confluence of the Ganga, Yamuna and Sarasvati rivers. After they were finished, we were given the Blessing of bathing as well.

That night I joined several others in our group and were led to the Naga Sadhu's tent area where we were treated as their guests. We spent the entire night moving from camp to camp where we were offered and shared their Chai tea and smoked their pipes with them. We were also fed a very delicious meal. There were a few Babas who spoke broken English that translated for us, and one Beautiful man, Raj, who escorted us to the prime spots. The presence of these Beautiful Beings was astonishing. I guess I had imagined that they might be kind of spacey or out in another zone, but no way, Raj even knew that I had to pee and asked me if I needed to go now or do I want to wait until the next opportunity. I was so touched by his gentle care for me in such a simple but deeply connected and present way. This is how it was the entire time. Everyone I looked at SAW me and acknowledged me. Wow, how wonderful it would be to live this way all of the time. They do.

We met the leader of all of the Sadhus a Wonderful man, Sampat Puri Ji Maharaj who is 113 years old (he looks 70) He gave us a mantra and shared his wisdom. He said "When you have seen the lowest you are the highest. One is everything when you are zero". He also gave us this message as did several other Sadhus: "Where the Lady is worshiped, there is Wealth". In India the ladies are the Goddess of Wealth, Lakshmi, Ram. I LOVE this! I know personally when I feel honored and adored I will will do anything for you, give you all I have. I believe most women are this way.

We also visited a very Joyful Sahdu called Kal Yugi TEA Baba. He was great. He owns nothing yet has everything. As we approached he ran quickly to his neighbors to borrow mats for us to sit on, he had torn a sarong in half to include us all. For the last 6 years he has only consumed his amazing Chai Tea (which he made for us) and smoked Hashish. He said he cries very much when he eats so he only drinks tea and smokes hash. He said "Remember the name of God in all you do, Purify your actions, behind the desire is the Divine". Sit at the right hand of God.

What a gift. I am so Blessed and so Grateful.

Couples Retreat in Hawaii

For the last several years I have been Blessed to be a participant with Warrior Sage out of Canada. Recently my partner and I went to Hawaii for a week of deep learning and discovery about ourselves and our relationship. Following is but a wee bit of an example of what I learned. I highly recommend this course to those, such as we, who are Spiritually Awakening and are willing to open up, expose, and move beyond those places of closure within our beings that prevent us from Loving Fully.

I found out right away that those places in me were the very areas crying to be Loved Open. I had created these "positions" of opinion and gathered evidence to support them, meanwhile crushing the sweetness of this new joyous connection I had found with my beloved. I was attached to the way it/he must be for me to give all of my LOVE, Trust, and Commitment.

Throughout the week, moment to moment I peeled away shells that had been there for many life times, I believe. I find it difficult to really explain the depth at which we were operating, so I will share my notes with you and perhaps you will find a nugget or two that may serve you in some way.

Much Love,
Sanandra

Peru

Many of you have asked about my Peru trip and I must say it has been difficult to capture the vastness of such an experience and write it down.

I traveled with 40 other wonderfully Enlightened Beings from Warrior Sage out of Canada. We were led by it's founder Satyen Raja, his wife Suzanne and their two children Satori and Shaman, as well as our other Awesome guides Kristi and Kassim.

We spent our first week travelling, visiting, and hiking, and hiking :) in and out of the many Sacred sites in Peru. We would Give Thanks and do Ceremony with our guide Don Jorge Luis from Lake Titicaca.

The second week we travelled by boat to Corto Maltes which is along the river out of Puerto Maldonado. It is a wonderful retreat site in the jungle. On the boat we met our Shaman Diego, his amazing wife Milagros, and their baby boy. The experience with these Amazing Beings changed my life forever in a very profound way.

 

Notes from the trip

 I choose love. I send love to all beings.
I breathe down my front, circulate up my spine, over my heart. Tongue to the roof of my mouth, I recognize what is in this moment. I return to my core essence. There is no such thing as transformation, there is nothing to transform. We are perfect, whole, and complete at our core.
Three part breath. Teach me in a gentle way
Noble silence. Let the wisdom in my words be greater than that of the silence that I have broken.
I keep opening and sending love. Let it be. Let it breathe.
Live a simple life. Simplicity of heart. Sit in uncertainty with an open heart.
Care for one another. Relax the shells that bind God's presence.
Rest in the unchanging. What is real cannot be threatened.
Be humble. Better a broken arm than a broken spirit (children).
I am gentle and I soften myself. Give to me the wisdom in a way that I can integrate it in my life.
I love my body in every way. I remember my core vital essence.
Transcend anything by loving it. We tend to get what we expect.
Our space friends travel with their etheric bodies. Love without fear. Right hand on heart. Left hand on the solar plexus.
I don't look at my footsteps. I have no personal history. My inner world of wisdom connects me with the mother.
I find myself boring and humanity interesting. I leave space for magic to happen.
Mastery is a moment to moment practice. I make my work a sacred practice.
I give up my attachments. Condor represents infinity and eternity.
I give what I don't have and didn't get as a child. Puma represents the present.
I intend to develop more consciousness. Snake represents the inner world that is always young and renewed.
Be a better person. The lake represents the feminine.
I love others even when I am fucked up. The mountains represent the masculine.
I have divine courtesy. Feel infinitely in and infinitely out.
I don't know anything. I notice my noticing.
I let the flow of life bring me what I need. I trust in the process of my life.
