Living in resistance

Posted in Thought for the Week.

Most of us are living a life of resistance. We resist certain thoughts, people and memories. In The Wonder Method, these resistances become opportunities. Once we are aware we are resisting something we have the option to feel that sensation as oppposed to pushing it away. The act of feeling the sensations also makes it possible for those sensations to change and evolve, reducing our reaction to the original trigger. As TWM is applied the resistance gradually drops away (often a matter of minutes) and balance is the result. This approach is always available, it is simply a choice to feel or resist.  Enjoy ~Alain & Jody Herriott

Awakening. What does it mean

Posted in Thought for the Week.

Awakening.  What does it mean? For us, within the experience of The Wonder Method exercises, it allows us to have a quiet mind, peacefulness and a sense of balance and wholeness.  Hand in hand with this is allowing ourselves to feel the sensations within knowing they lead us to an ever deeper experience of balance and happiness.  We encourage you to feel what is inside you and let it carry you to ever greater fulfillment. ~Alain & Jody Herriott

Somewhere inside everybody knows

Posted in Thought for the Week.

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

Free from desire we realize the mystery

Posted in Thought for the Week.

Free from desire we realize the mystery, caught in desire we see only the manifestations, but mystery and manifestations arise from the same source, the unformed. Paraphrased from the Tao te Ching 

As we go through life there are many things we desire. We strive to have them in order to be happy; if we can’t have them we are unhappy.  Real happiness comes not from things, but from a sense of balance within ourselves.  Processing our feelings allows us to put all of this kind of thing into perspective.  We realize the nature of the mystery and in so doing realize we already have everything we will need.  All we need to do is open to it.  ~Alain & Jody Herriott

Every experience we have can trigger us or open us

Posted in Thought for the Week.

Every experience we have can trigger us or open us.  For most of us even the things that feel good have a background fear of things eventually going wrong.  The old saying “if something can go wrong it will go wrong” was built around that kind of thinking.  How do we change this constant fear?  We feel what most won’t, we feel that which triggers us.  Amazingly it will lead us to balance and happiness.  ~Alain & Jody Herriott

Happiness is part of who we are

Posted in Thought for the Week.

“Happiness is part of who we are. Joy is the feeling” ― Tony DeLiso, Legacy: The Power Within

It is our right to be happy and yet so many of us get lost on the path to having it be so.  Feel, for as you do you will uncover the joy that is inside you and it will be as if you had wings to fly to the most amazing places.  ~Alain & Jody Herriott
