The Keys to Awaken ‘take us by the hand’ and guide us to a Connection With Our Soul that we can FEEL.
On that Inner Journey we discover parts of ourselves that have been waiting to be revealed.
Noticing the not-as-yet-felt without naming it.. and allowing the sensations.. emotions.. and energies.. that move through us as we ‘do this work’ of Inner Exploration.. without removing ourselves from every-day life.
The secret to Inner Exploration -whilst immersed in Real Life- is to stick with it.. no matter how triggering or challenging (or overwhelmingly enjoyable).
Don’t retreat. Don’t back away. If you fall.. and you will.. get back up.
IF life were a see-saw of ups and downs.. then we are learning to ride both sides AND be in the middle of it.. no matter how big the ups and downs.
By discovering ‘the middle’.. we come to know the whole.
This is not to be misinterpreted as being emotionally shut-down -the opposite:::
To Ride ‘The See-Saw of Life’.. requires us to be Fully Feeling.. Fully Sensing.. Fully Alive.
A BRIEF VERSION ON HOW TO EXPERIENCE THE KEYS:::
1. SELECT A KEY:::
Decide to take some space and time for your self.
Take a breath..
feel the ground under you..
and Be Here Now.
Look for a Key that you are attracted to..
..or one that repels you..
or that you are avoiding.
It may be subtle.
2. NOTICE:::
Simply notice what arises in your body
(without naming or story or preference).
You may notice distractions..
noisy body parts..
loud thoughts ..strong emotions..
..pain.. pleasure..
..visions.. revelations ..fantasies..
fascinations.
The Key is to learn to tell the difference.. through feeling and knowing.
3. PAUSE TO REFLECT:::
Anyone can safely enjoy The Keys up to this point.
Before you continue.. see the NOTE::: at the bottom of this article.
Then either finish for now.. or return here to continue.
4. ENTER AT YOUR OWN RISK:::
This is your life.
Your experience is unique to you.
Your experience belongs to you.
If you feel unsafe or unresourced.. it is up to you as to whether you decide.. to continue on this journey.
There is no failure here.
No-one is broken. Everyone is inherently whole.
When we are activating the teacher within.. it is up to us to know whether we are ready or not.
5. MAKE A GREATER CHOICE:::
If your experience is uncomfortable.. “I don’t like what I’m feeling”.. or it is painful -whether emotionally.. mentally.. energetically.. physically-
it is up to you whether you choose to stay with this Key and with the practice.
It may be helping you connect to hidden parts for healing.. so it may guide you to heal an inner ‘blindspot’..
..HOWEVER to ‘go there’ is your choice and up to you.
6. DO NOT FORCE:::
This is a greatly advanced practice.
You will do yourself harm unless you let Love do the work.
Love does the work by allowing it to do the work.
It is not to be figured out.
We access the greater wisdom and greater love of our Soul through feeling and sensing and knowing.
To force ‘the process’ is like punishing oneself for ‘being bad’ or ‘unworthy’.
7. ALLOW GREATER LOVE:::
Whatever you experience
-strong.. subtle.. ‘good’.. ’bad’-
be open to treat it ALL as equally valuable.
Meet it with love
..regardless of how it appears or feels..
..regardless of the labels.. names.. meaning
or stories.. the mind wants to attribute to it.
8. INVITE A DIRECT EXPERIENCE OF FAITH:::
Inner Knowing grows into a direct experience of Inner Faith.
Doubt and Fear are able to blossom into Love and Joy.. Delight.. Lightness of Being and a sense of Liberated Freedom.
Whatever the journey is today..
Trust it.

NOTE::: THIS PATH IS A HEROIC QUEST
The Keys to Awaken are portals to our Souls.
++++++++++++++++++++
Even though we all have external teachers.. ultimately we are each our own teachers.
It is up to each of us what steps we take.. and to ‘own our experience’ with full self-response-ability -able to respond to every emotion.. energy.. pain.. pleasure.. state of mind.. health state.. symptom.. fear.. doubt.
Anything we experience.. even the worst.. is within our greater power to ‘own’ and respond to through greater ways of being.
If we have chosen to live beyond the limitations of our past.. then our path and quest will be to locate by sensing and notice by feeling and face by lovingly allowing those limitations within us.
It can not be scarier or more dangerous than this.
And it can not be more liberating.
It is the ultimate.
And it is all within us.
