Promoting feelings of joy, ecstasy, and greater connection with nature, the core of my work uses guided or facilitated walks. Similar to the instructions found in a yoga or meditation class, I gently guide your attention to particular aspects of the landscape, especially the sky, helping you keep a focused awareness with an emphasis on maintaining unbroken concentration. My guidance assists you to stay present and develop ever greater capacities of concentration, so you can have a more refined and powerful awareness of both of your inner and outer world.
Facilitated walks are quite powerful even for people who have struggled with other relaxation methods. You have to experience a facilitated walk to fully understand its power.
Below is a sample facilitation using a late afternoon cloudless blue sky:
“Let your eyes relax and your gaze soften. Stay present to the blue sky, let you mind rest in the luminous blue. Notice any mild or strong resistance to being totally absorbed in the blue. Give yourself permission to move past any resistance that you noticed. Invite the blue into your heart. With each breath let it penetrate you more and more. Open to the radical emptiness of this infinite blue field. Hold presence in the emptiness, resist any boredom that might be arising and continue to stay present, letting the azure purity wash you clean. Let your heart-mind become as luminous and clear as this azure blue sky.”
