YOUR POINT OF POWER IS IN THE PRESENT MOMENT
Hi Fellow Travellers,
We trust that you are practicing integrating what was experienced during the retreat into your day to day lives in meaningful ways?
A BIG thank you Hartmut and Matietjie and also to Ann, for finding the beautiful CBC venue for the retreat. 🙂
(Thank you Marieke for this stunning photo)
We invite you to take a moment to reflect and absorb the reminders below.
While reflection is of course valuable, the real transformation begins as we practice using the tools we worked with in everyday situations.
As these are applied, lasting change unfolds naturally.
THE NEW MAP OF REALITY
Use the Map of the Matrix and The Steering Wheel , to shift your frame of referance daily. (Feel free to pass it along to others if you feel they may be of help to them.).
HO’OPONOPONO
We also encourage you to use the Ho’oponopono prayer to clear any lingering emotional attachments to people or situations. Here are a couple of alternative versions for you to work with.
Here is a ho’ oponopono forgiveness meditation to use on yourself.
THE POWER OF MEDITATION
Starting each and every day with a meditation is a must on the road to awakening.
GIFT!
Here is a link to this month’s InnerSpace Morning Meditation with our compliments.
To truly access the power contained within the present moment, make a commitment to start each day with a meditation, and then to remain open and heart-centred in all challenging circumstances during the day. Let us how it goes.
TOOLS
By consistently applying the tools – Breathing Awareness, Body Awareness and Listening Awareness, you will transform not only your own life, but through your increased presence, be an invitation for those around you to step through the open door to their opwn awakeing.
These practices really do allow love and presence to flow more freely through us, inviting Grace to shift not only us but also the world we are meeting.
BEAWARE OF THE MIND
A gentle warning: The mind, with its tendency to cling to the past for identity and grasp at the future for its purpose, will try to reassert itself as master controller of your life. This would surely result in your heart closing once more. Perseverance and committed focus are essential at this juncture – valuing presence over time/fear/mind.
And yes, it takes patience… that is until patience itself becomes irrelevant in the light of your flowered presence.
Breathe in. Breathe out – feel the peace that lives in the depth of this very moment.
AWARENESS
The key to mastering the mind is awareness. Letting go of inner resistance and allowing life to be as it is, this is the path.
This means releasing habitual attachments to the past and softening our projections into the future. Use the mind to recall and plan when needed, but let go of the time-based mental noise that dominates most of our thinking on a daily basis.
It is our attachment to a personal ‘story’ that gives the mind its identity and feeds the illusion of some future projection based fulfilment.
Awakening is the realization that we are already Home in this moment. We are the still, silent awareness, the sea of love that witnesses all thoughts and experiences.
As we awaken, we honour the sacred stillness within us as our primary focus.
OPEN – DON’T CLOSE
The secret to a heart-based life, one of love, peace, and real security, is to remain open and present, no matter what arises. Find the space within. Pay alert attention to the still, formless, timeless dimension of consciousness that lives in your Being – it is the real, eternal, unchanging you.
As we release fear (false evidence appearing real) and awaken into presence, the lower self naturally falls away, just as petals drop when fruit begins to grow. No efforting or striving is required.
For continuing support we have the WhatsApp Group – please share your ongoing journey, and support one another with theirs. At this time we need community.
FREE OFFER
Michelle and I would also like to invite you to deepen your Journey of Awakening by joining our monthly INNERSPACE COMMUNITY.

Don’t Go Back To Sleep
“The breeze at dawn has secrets to tell you;
Don’t go back to sleep.
You must ask for what you really want;
Don’t go back to sleep.
People are going back and forth between
the door sill where the two worlds touch.
The door is round and open.
Don’t go back to sleep.” – Rumi
In light and presence and gratitude
