“Love rests on no foundation. It is an endless ocean, with no beginning or end.”
Jalaluddin Mevlana Rumi
While meditating on a composition specifically to start the new year, the words endless ocean came to mind. I immediately thought that it was from a Rumi quote and of course it was. I don’t have a photographic memory but more an instinctual one. Practising the creative arts all my life, I fully trust the ‘random’ thoughts and impulses that well up from ‘beneath’. This relationship is central to everything I do these days. It never lets me down and is usually instant, rarely presenting as “writer’s block”. It never used to be like this. It was more spasmodic and there was a distrust I had, probably from a western style education that treats ‘the creative’ with suspicion probably because it cant be measured.
Of course, the endless oceans that we are, can easily entertain structure and measurement.There actually isn’t any conflict whatsoever here but it has taken me years of trust and practise to get there, to instantly “pull a rabbit out of my hat” as my wife so often says these days. All of these years of thinking there was some kind of split or struggle between the cool-logical and the random out-of-control-intuitive, is an outmoded paradigm that so many of us still struggle with. There are no walls, barriers or compartments, unless of course you believe so. If you experience “blocks” then in all truth it’s an invitation for you to melt them away…which of course you can do.
In the last 4 years of EFT / tapping with Naomi Janzen, I have learnt how to rapidly dispatch any resistance to preconceived notions and learnt patterns that create conflict in my life. I can also quickly identify the cause or root of these conflicts and can, without any fuss, decouple them from my psyche.
During the next few months, we will be rolling out over 3 years of weekly tapping sessions into a new archives section. This is a rare, unique and large resource and will be available to all our members on demand.
With love,
Steve
