“You are where your attention takes you. In fact, you are your attention. If your attention is fragmented you are fragmented. When your attention is in the past, you are in the past. When your attention is in the present moment, you are in the Presence of God and God is present in You. Let yourself die to all that does not really exist and discover what does. Let go of all you think you know.”  ~ Ken Carey

How do you feel when you do something unfamiliar
that you think ‘might-not’ even appeal or matter to you ~ at all ?

Even if it's something new, I really want to explore, I know I’ll have to contend with mental and emotional resistance. For example, my conscious-mind might want to go bungee jumping, while my sub-conscious mind will do its best to succeed in sabotaging this possibility. Have you had similar experiences? Is this at all familiar?

What if there’s something we all can do ~ together ~ that's enjoyable, truly worthwhile and wonderful, that thousands have now experienced ~ all around the world? What if we can journey through our awkwardness together, satisfying our need to avoid whatever boring or awful thing we’re afraid might happen, only to arrive at a place where our mind is silent and in awe ~ even in love with what we find ?

Would you be willing to spend the time it takes to cross this uncertain threshold ~ with other intrepid souls ~ surrendering your doubts, in exchange for a much more secure sense of being than you may-have-ever experienced before; a serenity and safety and well-being that you can feel, touch and know intimately throughout the cells of your body, heart and mind?

Does this sound scary, unlikely, confusing or even impossible? Or is it deliciously tempting? As your facilitator, I want to satisfy your mind ~ in advance and set your heart and body at ease.

After we've settled in and there are no more technical challenges or questions, we begin. From here, it may take fifteen to twenty minutes to arrive in the ‘ground of our being’ ~ in what can be called a commonly-sensed-reality. Our 'arrival time' is dependent only on how readily we each relax, enjoy ourselves and fully participate ~ according to the following guidelines.

We need to start and finish on time ~ as a group,  setting aside all distractions. Stepping away temporarily is ok. Please know, later meetings, when you're more experienced, will be much more informal, where popping in-and-out can be fun and stimulating.

Having gathered for this video conference, and confirming we can all hear and see each other, we'll be asked to gaze-into the seeing-eye of our webcam ~ with unbroken eye contact. By noticing that we are being noticed, we gradually become more aware of the quality and presence of our own attention. We will be guided to speak ~ in-turn ~ two-or-three sentences, about what we’re noticing ~ as we are noticing it ~ without referring to the past, or future, and without voicing ideas “about” what we are doing or experiencing.

Over the fifteen to twenty minutes it typically takes to settle down, we will notice our mind(s) slowing down and falling silent. Our visual capacity will have expanded. We now can watch our video-images and the eye of our webcam, as well as our own awakening awareness ~ as an undivided whole.

Expressing what we’re noticing ~ as we’re noticing it ~ is “the practice”. Speaking slowly ~ as awareness ~ into the listening of our group, we begin to sense each other ‘energetically’. We experience the sound of our own voice, and a sense of being heard, as we point the group’s attention to whatever we are noticing with them. One by one, we each take our turn ~ at speaking. As the facilitator, I will help by suggesting things for us to notice.

As we enter into thoughtless awareness together, it can become challenging for some to find the motivation to speak. Deliberately exercising our ability to talk when our mind is silent, helps us learn to live without stress in our daily lives.

For some, there can be a deeply-engrained dogma and/or personal preference to not speak, in the hope of 'achieving' peace of mind ~ in a more familiar way. Yet, for the success of this practice, it’s necessary for everyone to continue speaking - on at a time - as much as anyone else, in order to wholly integrate still deeper levels of the verbal and non-verbal brain. It’s even OK to say: “I do not know what to say, yet I’m speaking slowly. And, I will now say a third sentence. This feels weird, scary, awkward and exciting ~ all at the same time.”

This practice enriches the way we pay attention together, significantly improving the quality of all our relationships. Experimentally derived over many years,  this group exercise has now worked successfully for thousands of people internationally. By actively entering into a simple conversation with specific guidelines and a meditative focus, any interested and willing group can achieve deep rapport, creativity and acceptance. Participants learn to sense, feel and think together intuitively. This leverages the whole group into a heightened state of consciousness.

With greater mental and emotional coherence, each person experiences the intelligence of being interconnected. There is the joy of feeling liberated and at peace with everyone and everything. It seems impossible to do anything wrong. What was disturbing and overwhelming, appears organized and interesting. There's an unmistakable sense of existing in a unity with all people and the whole of nature.

There are many known applications. You'll enjoy working, playing, or just being: including healing, both psychological and physical; telepathy between groups, including collective remote viewing and mind/matter interactions; rapid consensus for decision making, problem solving and creative development in families, relationships, communities, politics and business; optimum performance in sports and any type of collaborative activity - from symphony orchestras to surgical teams. This group consciousness technique can reliably focus the attention and intention of a group to perform tasks with a high level of insight, intensity and productivity.

As the content of our mind(s) no longer eclipses, or divides, our Consciousness, we experience the ecstasy of being Love its Self.
