Our feelings may seem overwhelming yet if we allow ourselves to experience them even the tiniest bit we begin the path to change and balance. For every grain of sand you move (every feeling you feel) a mountain of feeling is in motion\. Let yourself evolve, such is the nature of feeling.
Each morning as we rise we look out over the fields and are amazed. So very amazed at another strikingly beautiful day.
Are you willing to live a life of amazement, wonder and beauty? Are you open to feeling and reconnecting to the integration of body and mind? It is not hard, but it does take perseverance to retrain how you relate to your world. Feel, open and become, and the rest simply follows. ~Alain & Jody Herriott
Life is a choice. Good statement, we have heard it so very many times. How many of us actually live life in this way? As we travel the path of experiencing our feelings we come to realize that we have choices. One choice may be to enjoy each aspect of life, each little nuance. Some will say that is too much, I can’t do that. Of course this a choice. We make them every day. In doing so we may lead ourselves down the path of unfolding life, much like a flower, or we may starve ourselves by not letting ourselves feel. We encourage you to feel. The mind is already over-trained; trust it to simply work. Trust your feelings as well, as they are your missing link to being. All you have to do is choose to do so. ~Alain & Jody Herriott
The mind is about attachment to outcome and is constantly in expectation. It is drawn to drama and circular thinking and upset for it is always searching for something to control. In effect the mind causes separation within us because of its constant reaching. Using the body to experience the feelings within us reunites us. The more this occurs the more we come back into balance. This harmony of body and mind is truly the harmony that is total. Others will call it many different names: centered, presence, even enlightenment. Regardless of the word, balance is now a way of life. ~Alain & Jody Herriott
There is an inner world and an outer world. The inner world has many levels. There are the feelings that we have about our day (this is a bit of an inner and an outer mix). There are the sensations within us as well that link to a state of being. It is continuous and never ending. The outer world is truly a reflection of the sensation level of us. We don’t usually realize it but it is there none the less. The art of feeling at the sensation level is what awakens the first inklings of being; this immediately begins to modify and balance the world we see around us. Take the time to feel, it is a world without end and the presence and beingness that it offers is priceless. ~Alain & Jody Herriott
As every experience in our day has sensation in it, there is always an opportunity to open. And as tension is often present just below the surface and is subliminally suppressed it is a golden opportunity to reawaken to ease. Taking a few moments to unwind, through feeling our baseline feelings, gives us this opportunity to again experience ease in our day. Take the time, feel, it is simply fabulous to be us. ~Alain & Jody Herriott
We are taught from an early age to achieve, to push, to beat others. This is probably the #1 thing in our way in order to know ourselves. All the striving takes us out of the moment and places us firmly in the mind, separated from our essential self. People believe that striving is necessary in order to achieve our goals. This simply isn’t true. Instead we find harmony is born, which makes everything possible. It is easy enough to create balance in our lives; all we need to do is be willing to feel the sensations within us. T his will change our focus from pushing to opening and the rest simply unfolds. ~Alain & Jody Herriott
It is said in meditation you dissolve the world and rest within the freedom of the emptiness. In the Wonder Method, we join the flow that exists when the mind no longer needs to control who and what we are. This flow carries us, supports us and is always evolving, endless. It is infinite in expression and when we experience it, we find all opportunities are present in every facet of our lives. ~Alain & Jody Herriott
Into each life a little rain must fall. This kind of statement keeps us in a world made up of drama. It causes us to always fear that we will not be fully successful no matter what we do. This is why, in The Wonder Method™, we process, to deconstruct this sort of limiting view through feeling. And we Wonder (an evolving state of possibility) our way into an always flexible set of possibilities that can and will carry us into an amazing moment, the present—the most powerful place there is. ~Alain & Jody Herriott
Being, there are so many ways to talk about it. Yet doing it is, well, presence. So here’s a little poem. Just feel it.
Fresh dew
Clear quarter moon
Dawn breathing
Open space
Branches in silhouette
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
