Barb, Steph and Kaye will share an understanding which provides an explanation of our experience of life. It’s not a practice, a technique, a process - it’s quite simply a description of how our moment to moment experience is formed. And how by insightfully seeing this, so much of what we thought we were dealing with spontaneously falls off our minds and life just makes so much more sense.

There is no correlation between wanting to win and winning. Having a positive mindset as an influencing variable is a fallacy. And one that sets us up for self-judgement if we find ourselves in anything other than a clear state of mind before a big game, talk, meeting or any kind of performance.

Listen to professional rugby player, Adam Ashe, share a very simple understanding of where state of mind, feelings, attitude and mood comes from 100% of the time; and why, when we insightfully see this fact, we are no longer concerned with how we feel because we see that in every moment we have the capacity for optimal performance.

Within us all is a deeper knowledge and innate wisdom. When we hear someone speak from that space it can light us up inside. We recognise truth and not only do we physically relax but it spring cleans our psyche, bypassing our intellect and resonating with our soul, feeling familiar yet new at the same time.

Come listen to Dr. Rita Shuford speak about an understanding which answers the biggest why? question of all - why do we feel and act the way we do?

Have you ever noticed how sometimes life can be full of activities and ‘doings’ and yet there is a sense of calm inside? And other times you can be sitting doing nothing yet full of overwhelm imagining all sorts of scary futures? This points to a simple truth that our personal experience and life ‘happenings’ are not connected.

It can sometimes appear as though there is a correlation between how we feel and what’s occurring around us but this is the illusion that leads us to believe that our well-being is dependent upon certain circumstances being met. It’s not.

Dr. Varsha Jain, a Doctor in a London hospital; and NASA researcher into aspects of female astronaut health in relation to spaceflight, is a great example of someone who has a jam packed schedule but sees that if she experiences stress, the schedule isn't the cause.

Our well-being, our psychological security, is a constant and always present - it’s just our experience sometimes leads us to believe it’s under threat. Together we explore how our personal experience and life ‘happenings’ are not connected.

Have you ever wondered where new ideas come from? Or what blocks new ideas coming to mind? What’s at play when things come to us out of the blue?

Through coming to a simple, yet profound understanding of how the human mind works we will share what we’ve seen to be true around how we all have access to fresh thought in every moment.

Solutions to perceived problems and fresh ideas that help and are useful to us and others are literally only ever one thought away. It’s just that sometimes there’s so much noise in our heads we can’t hear fresh thought.

 

At this Edinburgh Community Night, Steph, Kaye and our guest speaker, Nikki Welch, are sharing how a simple understanding of how our Mind works can result in spontaneously waking up to an easier, richer and way more fun experience of life.

Hear how it's possible to have the full experience, yet feel lighter and not frightened of feelings - because we have an understanding of where they come from and that they don’t contain any useful information. Playing the game, knowing it’s a game, rather than believing our well-being depends on it.

By seeing beneath our made up images of who we think we are, seeing beyond the beliefs we've held as true, looking past the form of things to the formless energy behind life we start to see that there is an innate and constant inbuilt wisdom within us.

This wisdom has no words, but holds the potential of everything including all words. It is what we can depend upon and it's to this that we can surrender our free will. When our will is in harmony with the wisdom of the soul, we experience the natural flow of life.

It can initially appear as if we are giving up our personal desires and are uncertain what will happen if we don't have preferences to keep us moving forward. But in fact the opposite is true. Our greatest potential is revealed to us in the most gentle way and because we are no longer doing something 'for' something else, we experience presense, non-duality, no 'other' and the richness of being for no reason.

Join us for this free webinar with Rita Shuford, who speaks so beautifully of the wisdom of the soul and who first met Sydney Banks in 1977.

Often with the event of a ‘new year’ thoughts can turn to starting afresh and considering the changes we’d like to see in our lives - both in ourselves and our circumstances.
Have you ever wondered why we want to make these changes?

Ultimately it’s because we believe it will make us feel better.

But… feelings don’t come from outside of us. They don’t come from weighing less, they don’t come from a new relationship and they don’t come from a change in job. Feelings come from one place, 100% of the time; Thought in the moment.

It can really appear as though our thoughts are being triggered by what’s occurring on the so called outside, but there is no correlation. This is why something that we think should ‘make us happy’ often doesn’t and something that should ‘make us sad’ often doesn’t. There is no consistency because there is no link.

Often when people see the truth behind how our experience is created, they notice that their lives ‘get better’. Phobias can disappear, relationships can improve, better circumstances appear out of nowhere. And then we talk about these outcomes as though they are the source of our happiness… but it’s the other way ‘round. It’s seeing where experience comes from that enables thought to fall away and for us to be in flow with the innate intelligence behind life.

The truth is that every moment is fresh, comes with a clean slate and we only have the feeling of being weighed down when we are in the misunderstanding that it’s what we’re thinking ‘about’ (projecting thought ‘out there’) that is creating the feeling of heaviness. And we look outside ourselves to see how things could be ‘lighter’ - but there is nothing out there (thankfully) that has the power to do that.

So whilst there’s nothing intrinsically wrong with considering what the future may hold, our wellbeing, our joy, our peace of mind won’t come from anything outside of ourselves. Our experience can only come via the Principles of Mind, Consciousness & Thought in each moment.
This means that instead of living life for outcomes, we’re living at source, for the pure joy of being alive. Being for no reason. That’s freedom!

Come join Steph, Kaye and Colette for this recording of their latest Edinburgh Community Night talk.

 

We often feel disappointed when we fall short of an expectation we've set ourselves and it can feel like we've let ourselves or others down.

The "good parent" expectation is a common one that we create in our heads and then watch as it shatters when we lose the plot with the kids....again!

There are lots out there; "Good wife / husband / sister / business person / leader" - fill in the blank!

The things is, expectations are just stories we've made up or a picture we've painted that don't actually hold any true meaning at all.....and yet we get caught up in feelings of failure, disappointment, overwhelm and feeling not good enough when we don't measure up to our story or picture.

When we see that our experience is being created moment to moment via the power of Thought, we realise that there is no ‘out-there’ to live up to.

Join us to hear more about the 'made up' nature of expectations and hear how when you have an understanding of where your experience is coming from, you’re free to live a lighter more enjoyable life and realise your human being’s potential.

Each time I listen to Anna & Charles I'm surprised & fascinated by the stories that haved filled their years together and taken them so close to the edge; from addiction and infidelity to failed IVF, not to mention being aired naked together on network news in the USA.

But none of that is why I urge you to come and listen to them share on this free webinar about the nature of relationships. Rather it’s because of their deep respect for each other, how they've always found centre and most importantly their understanding of where their moment to moment experience is coming from via the inside out paradigm of the Three Principles of Mind, Consciousness & Thought.

Anna & Charles enjoy each other. They are friends. They don’t take life so seriously. How is this possible after everything they’ve ‘been through’? Why don’t they carry around resentment from the past? What is it that makes them realise the beauty of their time with each other right now.

Their relationship wasn’t always easy and effortless - and they don’t pretend that life is a dream; they are honest about still getting lost in thought and temporarily getting caught up in the illusion that the other person is making them feel something - an ‘out there’ that looks real.

find how their relationship went from being on the edge to finding center and living a life full of natural love and flow.
