This process has been available for thousands of years however people overlook the simplicity thinking Life has to be more complicated.

In our vulnerability, as we grow, we so easily get hurt and frightened. Then to avoid the pain we push it away to try and protect ourselves, this has the opposite effect as it is then locked in. Our connection with Life is damaged and, as we accumulate more pain we become more disconnected.

Often we think we are no good at a subject, maybe because of a careless comment by a parent or a teacher. I know a beautiful lady who has a wonderful voice, capable of singing classical ballads and also belting out rock classics. When I first heard her I was so impressed that, after her performance, I went and talked with her, during the conversation she mentioned that there had been a 21 year period in her life when she had not sung! Apparently this was because of a comment that somebody made after her singing at a wedding. What a waste.............

Anyway, a small group of three started meeting once a week to explore ourselves. We began by studying a seed, this included looking at as many aspects of seed that we could think of, ranging through structure, purpose and the requirements it might need to germinate. We also explored what it might feel like to be a seed and allowing our bodies to express this process.

Tony, who we thought of as the Leader/Teacher, out of the blue became a gibbering wreck. He was shouting and threshing around, apparently out of control. I am sitting watching thinking, 'I thought he was in charge!! What do we do now?' Eventually he quietened and we found he had been experiencing the trauma associated with having his tonsils out as a child. Apparently he had been feeling something happening in a previous week but had now reached a stage where he was able to 'Let go' so that the experience popped out.

Once we realised that we all have this ability to stop interfering in our lives and to allow the Life process to work and heal amazing things would happen. We developed a simple technique that would demonstrate the tensions that were present, even though the person felt relaxed. This is a process of finding a dynamic balance between the tensions. In this way a small change of energy would allow a movement to be sensed. By allowing this movement to grow without interference we would be moved to experience problems from the past that had restricted the way we were able to live our lives.
