More than a form of therapy, teaching, instruction, or practice, it is simply a remembrance of our true essence. The nature of the mind is duality- it sees everything as two and therefore as separation (even the brain is divided into two hemispheres!). While duality is necessary for life to be as we know it/perceive it, it is this apparent separation that causes constant suffering and seeking.

The ego isn’t good or bad but rather feels like a separate self somewhere inside the body. It feels separate from others, from life, from its own divinity. It takes itself to be something personal where life seems to be happening to it, experiencing life as something separate from it (subject/object illusion).

The energy that is our true nature can manifest in infinite ways and forms; bodies, trees, thoughts, emotions, etc. One other way that this energy/consciousness can also manifest is through this energetic tension that feels separate, fragmented, unloved, incomplete. It therefore seeks all kinds of external sources in an attempt to find wholeness when in reality itself IS already wholeness. This longing leads to endless seeking that may drop when we exhaust the attempt and effort.

It is only through this surrender that naturally leads us to the opening of the heart; our divinity, the return home to our true essence. Perhaps more appropriately said, it is the remembrance that we never left home! When we lead with the heart we live from a place of unity and therefore unconditional love, peace, freedom, absolute wholeness. We allow the duality to continue its playful dance with the understanding that nothing is missing because there was nothing ever separate in the first place.  

The intention here is not talk therapy (this on its own rarely helps) but go directly to the core of our true being in our day to day life.
