What Does Love Want to Express Through You?
I have been spending most of my time this past week indoors with the air purifier running due to unhealthy air quality from the fires. I am missing my daily hikes with Angus and Niko. And it is experiences like this that are great reminders to look within for wellbeing. They also highlight how the old model of seeing ourselves as 7.8 billion individuals competing for survival on this beautiful blue planet is not working.
It is time to come together to SEE and EXPERIENCE the ONENESS behind our temporary human experience. This vantage point changes everything and makes it clear that the way forward can only be through growing TOGETHER and waking us up to what is universal. It is the misunderstanding of who we are that creates suffering. This misidentification negatively impacts all areas of life including relationships, success, emotional stability, mental stress, and negative behaviors. Sustainable change is the result of knowing who you are more fully.
What I am seeing is a great need for more people to courageously step forward and be willing to be leaders and guides in pointing others to their True Nature and away from the misunderstandings that create suffering and result in outer discord and conflict personally and societally.
The world needs people who are courageous enough to do their own inner exploration and kind enough to point others to their natural state of love, inner freedom, peace, and wellbeing.
If this calls to your heart, please join me in the six-month Rewilding Guide Training. This is an in-depth immersive program that is designed to support you with waking up more fully to the truth of your loving nature so you can share your grounded understanding based on your experiential knowing with others.
This program is open to all folx regardless of race, sexuality, gender, socio-economic status, and ability. Please share if you know someone who would benefit from the training, especially those who have a genuine calling to be of service, but who also would normally not be able to participate due to economic barriers.
This training, however, is not for the faint of heart.
It is based on experiential learning. You will be encouraged to step into your vulnerability and humility as the doorway to the impersonal. This will not be comfortable for the construct of the ego. It will push against your learned conditioning. But this discomfort is immensely worth it!
On the other side is greater freedom to be YOU exactly as you are and to break free from exhausting yourself with ineffective attempts to manage your experience to try and feel okay. Instead, you can wake up more to who and what you are so you can effectively point others to that same truth so they can experience it for themselves.
This program is for seasoned practitioners as well as those starting out working with others. If you would like to learn more about the program, join this free webinar on Tuesday, September 22nd at 12 pm Pacific Time. Click here to register for the webinar.
If you can’t attend the webinar live, but have a question, please email me your question. The recording of the webinar will also be made available.

Christine Heath & Judy Sedgeman – Spirituality and Resilience
When you no longer give authority to the fear-based thoughts in your consciousness, all you are left with is happiness. Through the teachings of Sydney Banks, you can see how your psychological functioning works, which makes you less compelled to follow those thoughts that do not serve you. Becoming more aware of the wholeness and integration of both your human and spiritual natures helps to ground you in the unchanging essence of who you are, and ride out the ups and downs of your emotional experience more gracefully. Accepting the normalcy of your humanness will naturally reduce your anxiety and fear and enhance your joy and happiness in each moment. By placing less pressure on yourself to feel a certain way or be hung up on self-improvement, you may find that low moods do not derail or debilitate you; instead, you will become much more attuned to your innate wellbeing and peace of mind and experience more happiness as a result.
Greater psychological freedom is the gift that keeps on giving. How grateful would you feel if you no longer had to listen to your negative, self-punishing and painful inner narrative, day in and day out? Understanding the role of thought and recognizing how it creates your feelings of insecurity and self-doubt is truly liberating! You will be better able to hear and heed your inner wisdom and become less driven by the noisy thoughts of fear and constriction. As an ongoing practice, this allows you to more fully experience your resilience and reach a greater sense of clarity about how you want to move forward in your life. As a result, you can live in a way that feels authentic and true in every area, including your career, family, home, creative expression, play, relationships and overall well-being.
Your ability to enjoy life comes from being present in the moment rather than caught up in habitual, negative thoughts that take you out of the Now. Sydney Banks’ wisdom supports you in becoming aware of how you get seduced by your limited personal thinking and thus, create a painful reality of misunderstanding, fear and restriction. When you recognize how and why this happens, you can step free of the pattern. This understanding assists you to dismiss unhelpful thoughts and not take them seriously. Unlike traditional self-help or therapy, experiencing more psychological freedom and enjoyment does not rely on techniques. There are no magic bullets on the path of well-being. All you need to do is follow an internal compass that points to the truth of who you really are—beyond transient thoughts to your unchanging, formless essence.
In our culture, success is often associated with hard work and narrowly defined as material gain. However, authentic success, as shared by Sydney Banks, includes such intangibles as happiness, well-being, love, joy, compassion, and peace of mind that are innate in each one of us, along with outward goals and achievements. It honors the whole person in all walks of life, whether you are a professional, leader, executive, solopreneur, employee, mother, teacher or student. From this knowing and experience, you can access the infinite wellspring of love that is your essence, then share your gifts with the world from a place of fulfillment and meaning, through a profound understanding of the interaction between your psychological and spiritual natures. While conventional success can deplete you, authentic success only fills you up.
Are you self-critical, hard on yourself, and constantly trying to “fix” whatever you think is wrong with you? Perhaps you have tried all kinds of different personal growth techniques and spiritual practices in the hope of solving all your problems. This cycle can be exhausting and never-ending, because there will always be something to improve about yourself, from that mindset. Sydney Banks’ teachings can help you to see how your humanness is normal and not something that needs fixing: as a spiritual person, you don’t need to change or eradicate your humanness! Seeing yourself as normal allows you to love and accept yourself exactly as you are—warts and all. Adopting this perspective naturally brings out the best in you and helps to find peace with your personality. Self-love and self-acceptance is your natural state, and any disconnection from your true nature is only temporary. What a relief!
One of the first areas people often experience profound transformation from the teachings of Sydney Banks is in their relationships, both personal and professional. While it often seems like another person’s irritation, anger, indifference, insensitivity, rudeness, etc., directly affects your experience, in reality your disturbance is a product of your own individual thinking. By making someone else responsible for how you feel, that person automatically becomes the cause of your suffering. Once you understand that you always have a place of well-being inside, independent of another’s behavior, it is easier to maintain equanimity through their changing moods and behaviors. Romantically, you may experience deeper love and intimacy with your partner, but the teachings benefit all relationships. This awareness supports more authentic connection and expression, while facilitating greater understanding, improved communication, reduced reactivity, more acceptance of self and others, and improved ability to work out differences and find common ground. Best of all, just one person shifting in a relationship is enough to transform it.
