Invitation

Guided Daily Meditation and Reflection Practices: an offering from Shelley Ostroff

A guided meditation, reflections and practices will be offered each day by Shelley Ostroff inviting you into an exploration of the essence and vibration of the daily themes. Journalling the thoughts, images, dreams, emotions, sensations and experiences that arise throughout the entire week can deepen your journey through these seven days

Radiant diversity encounter soundcloud.j

Listen to the deep vibration

Subtle whispers of sensation

Shifting through the clogged veins

Passing through the ancient pains

Airing out the rigid fears

Purifying liquid tears

Flowing, kissing, cleansing waters

Embracing all the sons and daughters

Burning fires engulf the debris

Seeding soil with ripe fertility

And earth receives the loving motion

Dancing now in deep devotion

Love in the making moving mystery

In the meeting without history.

~ Shelley Ostroff, from the poem Alchemists of Raw Emotion

03.01.2020, DAY THREE: ENCOUNTER: Befriending Diverse Human and Non-Human Perspectives

  1. Inviting the Essence of Encounter with Radiant DiversitySitting in a quiet and restful space, invite in an honoring way, the experience of Encounter with Radiant Diversity to reveal itself to you. Notice the images, sensations, insights that come as you open yourself to  the encounter with Radiant Diversity. How does radiant diversity choose to reveal itself to you in this moment? How does the encounter impact your vibrational field? 

  2. Sacred Encounter: Sense into the nature of the 'encounter' that cultivates Radiant Diversity - that enables all those involved  to nourish and be nourished in the meeting? How do you bring yourself to the encounter with that which you experience as different in a way that enables the full potential of the life-enhancing differences to nourish and be nourished by each other.

  3. Diverse Encounters with Diversity: What type of encounters nourish you in becoming all you can be? What qualities do you bring to the encounter with the 'other' that are nourishing to their own process of becoming? Explore this in diverse relationships you have with other people, with animals, with the plant world, and with the foundations of Life.

  4. Opening to Encounter: Allow someone you know to come into your field of consciousness - someone who you may experience as very different from yourself. What is the nature of the difference that you experience? Imagine yourself looking at the world through that person's perspective. What does the world look like from there? What do you imagine that person has experienced that has led to this perpsective? What do you wish to share with this person as a way of acknowledging and honoring this encounter with their unique perspective? Experiment with lovingly adopting other's perspectives and imagining their unique history and make-up that informs their current perspective. How does this exercise shift your own way of looking at the world?

  5. Befriend Diversity: Explore and engage with the content on the Befriend Diversity Gateway page dedicated to inspiring diverse friendships as a pathway for creating greater empathy with and understanding of those who are seen as different from oneself.

  6. Encounter with Nature and the Nature of Encounter: Find a place in nature or imagine that you are in a familiar natural environment. Allow an aspect of nature (an animal, a plant, an element, an eco-system big or small) to invite you for an encounter. In an honoring way, sit quietly with whatever aspect  has called you and invite it to offer you a message about its experience of the world. What is it showing you about its offering to the world and what it needs to receive from the world in order to be all that it can be?  How do you choose to honor this encounter? What message do you gift this aspect to honor what you have received? Practice this with diverse aspects of nature and attend to the different aspects of yourself that are activated through these different encounters.

  7. #ISPEAK4: Explore and engage with the #ISpeak4 Gateway,dedicated to discovering and sharing the wisdom and gifts of those who do not speak the human language to cultivate greater understanding of and empathy with all aspects of Creation.

  8. Honoring Encounter: How would you like to honor the essence of encounter that enables you to discover yourself through enabling relationship with the human and non-human environment around you? 

  9. The Intention: How has this dialogue with the essence of encounter informed you and transformed you, and what wish and intention has come forth within you from this reflective experience?

  10. Encounter with your Vitality Code - Nature’s code for ever-evolving harmony in diversity and empathy with all of Life.

VC.jpg

Spend some time reflecting on your own Vitality Code:

What do you imagine would be the most radiant expression of your unique gifts in the world?

What types of encounters and relationships are most nourishing to you - that support you in being able to offer these gifts to the word?

How can you cultivate mutually nourishing encounters and relationships in your life, and transform or eliminate those that are not nourishing?

What are three practical steps/ commitments that you can make to align your life with your own Vitality Code?

For more information about the Vitality Code, please visit the Vitality Code Gateway

Art from the Heart of Radiant Diversity and the Vitality Code: Express what is most alive in you from these different reflections and practices through any form of art – dance, music, visual arts etc.  If you would like to share your Heartist offering and inspire others with it, please share it in our Community Sharing Space.

Blessings for a deeply meaningful day of connecting with, remembering and honoring the Encounter with the Radiant Diversity within you and beyond you that contribute to making Life all that it is.

Day 3: The End of Suffering ~ The Great Bell Chant with Ejna Fleury

Ejna Fleury shares a wisdom offering connecting with the theme of Day 3: Encounter.

All of humankind is being invited into a greater conscious Love; a deeper richer vibration of Love, Compassion, and Healing. One might say, the Greatest Love we have ever known. By playing the End of Suffering, Great Bell Chant each day for 7 days, all are simultaneously enjoined into its frequency, message and mission. We call this The Ceremony of the Bells. This is a wonderful way to raise the vibration of Earth; the vibration of humanity and set a clear vibrational and conscious intention for this special year: 2020, the Year of the Encircling our Planet with Love.

Each day is started by a special message associated with the theme of the day followed by the "End of Suffering" Great Bell Chant, read by Thich Nath Hanh, chanted by brother Phap Niem. The creators of this audio track were Gary Malkin, the composer/arranger, producer, and collaborator Michael Stillwater. The work came from a CD/book called Graceful Passages: A Companion for Living and Dying, and it can be purchased by going to www.wisdomoftheworld.com.

Clare's Quote for Day 3: Encounter
 

"What if every moment could be filled with more potential, beauty and intimacy than we could ever imagine, if only we would open our perception to include the consciousness of every other thing that surrounds us? How would our experience of belonging be transformed? How much more could our hearts expand to include those non-humans and humans, simply waiting for recognition and care..."

Video Release

 


Daily at
1PM EST
(convert)

When you ‘gaze softly’ with your awareness, your body becomes increasingly at ease and comfortable, you dissolve core tensions with your awareness, and your Mind quiets. You connect to your calm core.
Every time you do this gentle practice of Guided Awareness, going deeply into and through your body, you become more and more comfortable in your body and in your mind. Your tensions dissolve more easily, and your calm core expands so that it infuses all of the space within your body and your mind.

With practice, you naturally take that calmness with you back out beyond the precinct of your body/sanctuary, into all that you do on the outside. --not forcefully, but gently, on something you are very familiar with--your body.

I took part in the ‘7 Days of Rest and Reflection‘ last year and found it to be a wonderful way to begin a new year and set intentions. A way to feel part of a global healing and also a great way to loosen up my thinking and become more open to ‘otherness’ and the wider picture."
