What is an open experience

What is an open experience? No boundaries. Any boundary found or experienced only serves to show us our next opportunity to unwind. Apply it. Every time you do greater balance will be yours. Enjoy. ~Alain & Jody Herriott |

The boundaries of counsciousness
Posted in Thought for the Week.
We were thinking about the boundaries of consciousness the other day. We realized that while we find ourselves within boundaries in our life and while they may seem to define us they are not truly boundaries. In reality they are only our beliefs. Within these boundaries we label ourselves. For example “I am an engineer”, or a mom or dad or gardener or scientist or animal trainer… These experiences and the expectations that are associated with them are the boundaries that we surround ourselves with. Of course they are not the whole of who we are, but so many of our world experiences appear linked to them that we tend to stay inside that environment. As we feel our feelings in relation to each experience that restricts us, these boundaries unravel and we find ourselves in somewhat uncharted territory. This new freedom is a sublime opportunity to move “beyond the beyond”, to change how we approach everything. Taking this chance is an act of courage, faith and surrender. It is not something that is actually hard to do, it is only outside the boundaries that we have called normal. This action is often called a “path to change.” We welcome you to the Path, it is worth every step taken along this new and constantly unfolding journey back to who we truly are. ~Alain & Jody Herriott

Especially at this time of year, the question
Posted in Thought for the Week.
Especially at this time of year, the question of most value is: are we willing to feel or only react to the drama we find ourselves in? That is our option in every situation. If we allow ourselves to feel and unwind our issues, we can set ourselves free from whatever drama we find ourselves in. Do we want to change? Are we ready to go beyond our boundaries? We are allowed to take all the time we need to do so. It is really worth every moment of our time. ~Alain & Jody Herriott

The only way of finding the limits
Posted in Thought for the Week.
“The only way of finding the limits of the possible is by going beyond them into the impossible.” Arthur C. Clarke
And so we go beyond the boundaries that society has talked us into following. We choose instead to feel and in so doing find out who we are. We then experience the ineffable state of oneness that transcends all intellect. ~Alain & Jody Herriott
There are no limits, only plateaus
Posted in Thought for the Week.
“If you always put limit on everything you do, physical or anything else. It will spread into your work and into your life. There are no limits. There are only plateaus, and you must not stay there, you must go beyond them.” — Bruce Lee
This is why we need to feel. The boundaries we find ourselves contained by are just our fears. Through feeling we gain access to our fears and begin the process of unwinding them and in so doing become free. ~Alain & Jody Herriott
