🫎🍁🇨🇦 CALL OUT FOR HELP FROM FRIENDS IN/WITH CONTACTS IN CANADA 🫎🍁🇨🇦

My best friend's daughter is 19 and wants to do a ski season, ideally working the ski lifts, or any other outdoors job. She's a great skier, qualified climbing instructor (1 year teaching and coaching experience), strong, responsible and very can-do and outdoorsy. Banff or Whistler would be her first choice but anything that fits the outdoorsy bill would be amazing!

Does anyone have any contacts they can kindly pass on? Grateful for any contacts or sharing of this post onwards to help me connect beyond my own sphere...

Tagging Canadian and adventurous friends, and sending love around the world

✨EIGHT WEEKS OF SANGHAT - WEEK 8 : Is awakening about staying awake?

✨Tuesday 25th June 6pm UK, 7pm CET, 8pm Dahab. You can still join and receive all eight recordings....

Join us for this final FREE LIVE CALL by signing up here, and then register for Zoom : https://discoveryourdepths.com/newsletter

ABOUT THIS WEEK'S GATHERING....
"When I get/complete/get rid of x, I'll finally feel/be y...." Even - and perhaps most ironically, most treacherously - we do this in our spiritual practice.

How many workshops, courses, teacher trainings, retreats have I been on, convinced by the marketing that once I've got this certificate, mastered this practice, my life will suddenly be imbued with a magical flow-state and permanent grace?

Do you recognise this in your own life, your own searching for that illusive whateverness that you feel you are missing from you life right now?

So we reach Week Eight in Eight Weeks of Sanghat maybe with some hope, some sense of completion, arrival, and the beginning of something new....

How about this...
We wake up, we fall back asleep....
We wake up, we fall back asleep again....
We wake up, we stay awake a little longer...
We wake up, the same things no longer send us back to sleep..... but other things still do.

What do you tell yourself in that scenario? When you realise you've fallen asleep, reacted to an old trigger, fallen back into an old habit or addiction, are repeating an old pattern? Do you feel you're back at point zero? That the meditation, therapy (or whatever transformation tool you've been dedicating yourself to) doesn't work? That you need a different, better teacher or therapist? What's the point?

Or..... do you simply notice that you fell asleep, drop the story (often laced with harsh self-judgement) and get back to the present moment?

Because every story you tell yourself (and you will be amazed at the creativity of your ego to tell fascinating stories, again and again), you are taking yourself away from THIS MOMENT. Yet THIS MOMENT is all that you have. It is the ONLY MOMENT where you can be awake.

Living in the past in regrets over things you cannot change, reliving and wishing to change past conversations and situations, is living in the past. You are asleep to WHAT IS.

Living in the future, searching for a peace, a joy, a fulfillment that you can't seem to find, or in fear of things not turning out how you think they should, is living in a fantasy or horror movie which most likely will never happen. You are asleep to WHAT IS.

Either way, you are not here, and being awake means being here, now, moment after beautiful moment. Moment after challenging moment. Being truly present to what is, and seeing the stories you are telling yourself are taking you away from that. And once you see that, you awaken again.

So this journey has no end, it is simply another signpost to help guide you again and again back to the present moment. To realise the incredible intelligence of your own being inviting you to awaken, through the discomfort you naturally experience when you take yourself away into fear and fantasy.

Thank you Mary Oliver for the inspiration...

✨THE BLESSING OF THE 'BUT' - Green flags rather than red ones to guide us towards awareness, rather than reaction

✨FREE MEDITATION Tuesday 18th June 6pm UK, 7pm CET, 8pm Dahab, 10am PST : EIGHT WEEKS OF SANGHAT, Week 7

This week we look at 'green flags' - there is a lot of talk in therapy and self-help circles about 'red flags', as a way to help us find safety and set clear boundaries. I want to share some insight beyond this to guide you towards awareness rather than reaction as a path to true safety.

It's about moving towards the light rather than back into our rabbit holes, it's about deep calm instead of anxiety, it's about knowing rather than trying to understand, and trusting rather than fixing or controlling...

Join us : sign up, opt-in and register for the Sanghat before 6pm UK tomorrow.... https://discoveryourdepths.com/newsletter

If you're struggling in any area of your life right now, know you're not broken or doing anything wrong. Perhaps green flags, rather than yet more red ones, can help you see your way forward again. Join us to see how simple awareness can bring you back to all the joy, calm, safety you wish for, for an opportunity to see beyond alarm signals into true peace, trust and belonging.

🐰Get out of your rabbit hole and back to the sun🌼

FREE MEDITATION : Week 6 : EIGHT WEEKS OF SANGHAT
Tuesday 11th June 6pm UK, 7pm CET, 8pm Dahab, 10am PST (also sign up for access to recording if you can't join live)

I chuckle as I sit at my desk, 'thinking' what I should write, what 'intelligent' theme I can offer this week for reflection, what makes the 'perfect' follow-on from last week's breath meditation.

Haha! And then I saw myself. All that thinking. All that processing, small moments of anxiety throughout the weekend, feeling stuck and frustrated. Worrying that I needed to get this done... The pressure building, and the doubts as each 'theme' circled in head, round and round and round....

Does this sound familiar to you? Those looping thoughts, the rising panic, waking in the middle of the night and not being able to get back to sleep?

It doesn't matter what issues arise in our lives, we ALL get stuck in our heads, believing the solution is there. We take ourselves down so many rabbit holes thinking we will find the solution in our thinking, and the feelings get worse and the solution feels further and further away.

Because the problem isn't a problem, it's an invitation to see we're in the rabbit hole, and get back to the light.

The irony hit me as I realised I'm stuck in my ego worrying about how to teach going beyond the ego 🤣 And that is the perfect lesson. Because it is here, now, in this moment, asking to be seen.

💫 THANK YOU STUCKED-NESS!!! 💫
(and yes, if language is a tool, I'm allowed to make up new words! Haha!)

If you haven't joined us yet, we meet this week Tuesday 6pm UK/Canaries, 7pm CET, 8pm Dahab and 10am PST for an opportunity see the rabbit holes we are all busily digging and get back into the light. Happy bunnies sunbathing together 🐰🐰🐰🐰🐰🐰🐰🐰🐰🐰🐰🐰🐰🐰🐰🐰🐰🐰🐰🐰🐰🐰🐰🐰🐰🐰🐰🐰

If you're feeling heavy or stuck, come and leave it at the door of our Gathering, and settle back into humour, humility and letting it all flow.... Simply Join my community (don't forget to opt-in), and sign up for the Sanghat login - and get access to all eight recordings - here : https://discoveryourdepths.com/newsletter

Can't wait to welcome you to these beautiful gatherings, there is no charge....

"It is in giving that we receive..." - St Francis of Assisi

EIGHT WEEKS OF SANGHAT - FREE Breath Meditation

💫 Breath ....
💫 A tool for awareness
💫 A pathway to awakening
💫 A precious gift of unconditional love from God

💫 Truly the most remarkable proof that we can trust and surrender completely to the flow of life, the presence of the Divine within us each and every moment

Breath is our most vital connection to life. Conscious breath gives us access to profound states of 'rest and digest'; healing, recovery and adaptation. Activating breath opens doors to higher states of consciousness. Being breathed allows us to rest in the love of the Divine and be released from insecure over-thinking and doing.

This week is an invitation to bring awareness to your breath in all areas of your life.

If you missed yesterday's live practice session, you can still receive the recordings for ALL EIGHT sessions, and join further FREE PRACTICE SESSIONS by signing up to my DYD Community and joining the Sanghat.

Just follow these three simple steps:
- BETWEEN NOW AND SUNDAY :
- sign up to my Discover Your Depths community here : https://discoveryourdepths.com/newsletter
- confirm that you wish to join my network when you receive the confirmation email (please check your junk folders in case….)
- on Monday you will receive the Sanghat registration link for my Zoom

The calls are on Tuesday 6pm UK/Canaries, 7pm CET, 8pm Dahab, 10am PST.

The gift of breath is with us always.
💫 Are you aware of it, moment by moment as an invitation to presence?
💫 Are you aware of its power to expand and awaken you to your Truth?

Join me tonight, Wednesday 5th June to explore breathwork - both the activating power of Kundalini and the subtle depths of Classical Pranayama - as doorways to consciousness.

EIGHT WEEKS OF SANGHAT : Week 5
Breath as tool for awareness and pathway to awakening

As a former world-record holding freediver (deepest dive 104m), breath was my most powerful tool. Not just to achieve long breathholds. But to achieve absolute trust and surrender to the process of becoming one with the ocean. And in turn to immerse myself into her depths, without stress or injury.

In my every day life and practice, and as a guide to others on a spiritual path, breath is one of our most accessible doorways to presence and awakening. We are being breathed - by the Divine, Source, God, the Universe - our entire lives. And we can consciously harness that infinite power through awareness and direct it to expand far beyond our mental limitations and constructs.

The gift of breath is with us always.
💫 Are you aware of it, moment by moment as an invitation to presence?
💫 Are you aware of its power to expand and awaken you to your Truth?

This week we explore breathwork - both the activating power of Kundalini and the subtle depths of Classical Pranayama - as doorways to consciousness.

The breath and mind are inextricably linked - are you present and aware to direct their power to create peace within, or are you subject to their power as directed by your fearful, limited self to create anxiety and stress?

The difference lies in your ability to be aware. Practicing pranayama can open the doorway to remind you again and again of its power, to bring you ever-more-readily into awareness.

Here's a little trip down memory lane to my 104m dive, which stood as the unofficial deepest dive for women in CWT for over six years, until it was set as an offical world record in 2017 by the incredible Alessia Zecchini 💙 The dive starts at around 3:00.

If you haven't managed to join us yet, this is a great week to set aside some time for deeper breathwork and glimpse the power and potential it holds for us in all areas of our lives. Not just freediving. But inner peace and stress-resilience, for health, and for accessing expanded states of consciousness.

Join me THIS WEEK ON WEDNESDAY 5th JUNE at 6pm Canaries/UK. Sign up, opt-in and then register to receive the Zoom link to access the call : https://discoveryourdepths.com/newsletter

Experience of life is the only requirement! No experience of meditation, freediving, or any spiritual practice necessary 😉 You will also receive all eight recordings.

"Noone ever woke up from inside their comfort zone" - Eckhart Tolle

✨EIGHT WEEKS OF SANGHAT✨continues Tuesday 28th May....

"Noone ever woke up from inside their comfort zone"
❔How do you react to that statement❔
- Deep resonance and knowing?
- Strong resistance, even petulance?
- Or somewhere undefined, or in between?

Our reactions show us where we are on our path to awakening. Not only reactions to statements about awakening, but to the people and circumstances in our life, we are always reacting, reacting, reacting....

You could say that the Universe is constantly providing us with opportunities to awaken, but our ego is so strong that we don't see them. Instead of opportunities, we see obstacles, challenge, stress....

In short we resist and react, without realising that we have an opportunity, in each and every moment, to choose a different, conscious response.

The invitation is to always see the 'other' (person, situation, weather - whatever it is that presents which is different from our desire) as an opportunity to observe our reaction, accept and learn. And if we aren't able to do that (don't worry, you're not alone, most of us aren't), it may take something bigger than our ego - a crisis - to wake us up.

❔How long do you want to wait? How painful will your crisis need to be❔

This week we will look at crisis as the blessing, failure as the opportunity, loss as the opening to a new life.

It is all a matter or perspective, and seeing life from beyond the ego. Which sometimes means that the ego needs to break. It can feel terrifying and overwhelming. But in those moments surrendering to what is, is the path.

I look forward to meeting you tomorrow, Tuesday 28th May 6pm Canaries/UK, 7pm CET, 8pm Dahab. Experience of life is the only requirement! No meditation, freediving, or spiritual practice experience necessary 😉

To join - and receive all eight recordings - sign-up here, opt-in, and tomorrow at 5pm Canaries/UK, one hour ahead of our meeting, you will receive an email to register for the Sanghat.
