When we feel at the sensation level it is like we are connecting to our origins. It is a quiet peaceful way to live. Every observed limitation then becomes the road to balance. When we stay at the sensation level the “drama” drops away and being is the result. Enjoy. ~Alain & Jody Herriott
Any tension we experience, no matter how small, is an opportunity to integrate body wisdom through feeling. Feel the body sensation that shows up and let it be experienced. And perhaps most important, let it change or evolve however it happens to do so. ~Alain & Jody Herriott
The mind wants to solve problems. That is an excellent thing to do if the thing you are solving is something logical. However the feelings within us are not based in logic, they are feelings. They are not something you “reason with”, they are sensations. Let them be sensations and allow yourself to simply feel gently and allow the issue to unwind. ~Alain & Jody Herriott
Ram Das said: “Somewhere inside, everybody knows that there is a place which is totally fulfilling. Not a desperate flick of fulfillment, it is a state of fulfillment.”
As we allow our sensations to be experienced, our orientation shifts from achieving for the sake of achieving, to living a life that brings fulfillment. This leads to true happiness. ~Alain & Jody Herriott
We are often asked just what is The Wonder Method? Probably first and foremost it is a subtle, simple, yet counter intuitive way to become incredibly present. Other names for this might be “awake”, “grounded”, or “balanced” within ourselves. Beyond this it is a model that can be used to offer healing to others and to unwind limiting beliefs and experiences until calm and balance are experienced within us. If we take it further it is also a way to step beyond the common view of reality or Maya and begin to live in satisfaction and joy. This all starts with feeling at the sensation level and everything evolves from there. We encourage you to feel; it is wonderfully satisfying. ~ Alain & Jody Herriott
Most everyone that is on the path to self knowledge (the art of being) is doing so from the perspective of trying to achieve it. Interestingly, it is this attitude that most holds us back from arriving at “Being”. We must also remember that it is an evolving process, not just an end result. Many believe that we will arrive and that will be it. In our experience, this is not the case, we are a constant evolution of awakening. Today’s understanding is tomorrow stepping stone to more awareness and due to its subtlety, more Being. Enjoy the journey. ~Alain & Jody Herriott
The Heart Sūtra is a popular sutra in Mahāyāna Buddhism. Its Sanskrit title, Prajñāpāramitāhṛdaya, can be translated as “The Heart of the Perfection of Wisdom”. The sutra famously states, “Form is empty”.
“The most popular part of it that many have heard is “Gone, Gone, Gone beyond, Gone beyond beyond, Hail the goer.”
As we unwind our locked feelings we go beyond our former boundaries and we hail your courage and surrender. Enjoy the journey. ~Alain & Jody Herriott
The willingness to feel may seem odd. After all aren’t we feeling all the time? Most of us are actually judging our feelings, naming things as good or bad and then living in reaction to that experience. Most of the time everything feels like turmoil instead of harmony. That’s why we need to feel our feelings at the sensation level. Letting the sensations arise and allowing them to change through a gentle interface can lead us to greater balance and harmony.
