The act of rediscovering ourselves

Posted in Thought for the Week.

The act of rediscovering ourselves is one of the main strengths of The Wonder Method. So many people simply want to put a bandaid on their world, feeling better about, if you will, the manure they find themselves in. The fact is, that’s all they know how to do; they don’t even realize there is another choice. Instead, if we unwind our limiting beliefs and their associated sensations, life again moves forward and we begin to grow like we did when we were children. This means we evolve and become ourselves without the garbage that was thrust upon us before we understood the tools to set us free. ~Alain & Jody Herriott

Story books are a lot like our life.

Posted in Thought for the Week.

Story books are a lot like our life. Some are complex and some are simple. Some give us joy and some bore us or even scare us. They are also excellent examples of the drama of life. That is, they exemplify, in a microcosm, how we experience life in general. And just like choosing a book to read, we can choose how to live our life. The unwinding of locked emotions and points of view is the entry point to rewriting our stories. As each issue arises that seems to limit our “new” story, we process our feelings and the new story is allowed to unfold. Happy creating to you. ~Alain & Jody Herriott

Supraliminal: of or relating to any stimulus

Posted in Thought for the Week.

Supraliminal:  of or relating to any stimulus that is above the threshold of sensory awareness.  In psychology: being above the threshold of perception of a stimulus

As we unwind the issues that limit us, we become aware of states of being and stimuli that exceed previous levels of awareness.  We are actually able to experience life in a supraliminal way.  The extremely subtle becomes the new normal; we are now present and the world opens before us.  ~Alain & Jody Herriott

Life is an art not an equation

Posted in Thought for the Week.

Life is an art not an equation.  You can make all the plans you want but what occurs is an ebb and flow of being and doing.  The more being you have the more life is a beautiful dance.  The more doing you have the more life is a series of dramas that demonstrate an array of conflict and achievement that is hollow because it is so temporary.  Learning to feel our feelings is an integral part of that art and it is the avenue to being.  ~Alain & Jody Herriott

The soul usually knows what to do

Posted in Thought for the Week.

“The soul usually knows what to do to heal itself. The challenge is to silence the mind.”–Unknown. This quote came via Rachel Sprinkle, thanks Rachel!!

This really is a key ingredient on the path to healing and a major component of the Wonder Method.  The art and action of feeling our inner conflict is the avenue to silencing our mind and as that occurs health and balance return to our life.  ~Alain & Jody Herriott

Conquer the anxiety of life, breathe

Posted in Thought for the Week.

“If you want to conquer the anxiety of life, live in the moment, live in the breath.”–Amit Ray

So often we hear this kind of suggestion and as everyone breathes, the opportunity to use it is there for all of us.  Within it is the chance to discover sensations that lead one deeper into awareness than most would believe possible.  It is so simple when we are willing to feel the breath.  Feeling really is always safe and it will always lead us deeper into discovery. –Alain & Jody Herriott

Getting by in Life

Posted in Thought for the Week.

It is easy to fall into the lazy habit of avoiding feeling, just getting by in life.  When we choose to open to our feelings the fog that has been hiding who we are lifts and we discover the blue sky of clarity and understanding.  This is an ongoing process because cruising through life is so seductive.  When we spend even a little effort each day in feeling, life becomes surprisingly worthwhile.  Enjoy the journey!  ~Alain & Jody Herriott

Life, rules and regulations

Posted in Thought for the Week.

As we go through life we are taught that there are all kinds of rules and regulations.  These restrictions reduce our ability to BE.  Each rule creates a stop in us, a holding or limitation.  However the way to be creative and comfortable in our life is to move beyond the rules, to see limitations as opportunities to break new ground.  In essence we learn to give ourselves permission to be amazing and in harmony with a world that others won’t even let themselves imagine.  Feeling creates the bridge from holding to openness, from limitation to creation.  ~Alain & Jody Herriott

Life and belief

Posted in Thought for the Week.

“We live in the world we made up.” —Jim Paul, Catapult: Harry and I Build a Siege Weapon

Our life is built around our beliefs and this sets the stage for what we will allow ourselves to do and what we won’t.  This means some of us will allow ourselves excellence and others of us will only allow mediocrity.  To free ourselves from the prison of mediocrity, we feel everything that seems to hold us there.  In so doing we realize we can be excellent too, all for the willingness to set ourselves free.  ~Alain & Jody Herriott
