Hello Reader, It's been some time since I last sent a newsletter to which I make no apologies. Following what is desired and known in this moment (which is what I 'teach' in my book Intuition Experiment; A Month Of Rediscovering Your True Nature To Live A Miraculous Life) means that forcing myself to write just doesn't make sense any more. There was a time when I would make myself do all kinds of things I didn't want to do because I had innocently picked up the idea that these things were how one would grow a business, or be a 'good' parent or other such nonsense. Thankfully I was pointed to a universal truth at some point that allowed me to see that we are each a physical expression of 'god' the 'universe' or consciousness (whatever you want to call 'it') and that before all thoughts of being otherwise, the human body-mind knows what to do in any given moment. That 'knowing' works through a feeling, rather than a narrative that has been picked up from other people during our life on this planet. The 'knowing' is what is always present when one falls out of thought, or another way to say that is when one is entirely present to this moment rather than in all the thinking about this moment. It's what I help people to remember exists when they've forgotten it's there and have gotten lost in fear and restriction (aka 'Bob', the inner narrator). Anyway, back to the title of the newsletter. This year has so far presented a number of unexpected changes in my life, not least the death of my beloved dog, Minnie, who left this physical world on 24th September. It's something I've wanted to write about for a while but have not found the words to share. Even now as I think about it a lump has appeared in my throat and tears are prickling my eyes. I think all I can say is that she was a very special animal; one that knew me inside out having shadowed me for 10 years. If you follow me on Facebook you'll know that she left me with a very important message which was to Be Here Now. During her very short illness (she presented with partial seizures from a suspected brain tumour on the night of 22nd September), every time I 'lost my way' by disappearing into the 'what if' thoughts, 'should's' and stories of heartbreak, I felt an immediate disconnection from her and the invitation to Be Here Now arose, connecting me back to her in that present moment. There, I discovered more than ever before, there is no suffering. The suffering is to be in the resistance to what is; in the stories of how things should be different. The final night I spent sitting up with her, although tainted with sadness, in those moments of connection beyond thought, there was beauty and grace and timelessness. And this has stayed with me ever since her departure. Any time attention contracts around thoughts of how much I miss her I'm invited to come back to what's right here in front of me. This is not to say I don't feel 'sad' and 'heavy'. Sadness or any other emotion doesn't require thought to be experienced. It seems to me that emotions, feelings, or more accurately, sensations, arise in the body, and the mind generates a narrative to label and explain them. When that narrative is not paid attention to the sensations arise and subside like the ebb and flow of the tide. Nothing to be 'done' about them other than to simply experience their raw power until they dissolve back from where they came. Same as there is nothing to be 'done' about the tide coming in and out, the clouds passing through the sky or any other 'thing' that we can be aware of. In addition to 'loosing' Minnie (who incidentally is still very much Here, just not in 'form'), the restoration of our lovely VW van 'Rosie' has ground to a halt due to massively unexpected levels of rust (so she won't be coming home) and my daughter has moved to London. Funnily enough, if you know anything about Human Design, then by having the 'Right Angle Cross of The Unexpected' in my chart, I guess these 'surprises' shouldn't be such a surprise! Thankfully I know that even when big changes happen, I (the fundamental aspect of what I am) never changes and is never impacted by such things. That knowing is the ground that is returned to at any moment when we are Here Now. I'll leave you with a photograph of Minnie and her wise words, which is the screen saver on my phone and which I took a screen shot of yesterday. She let our her last breath at 11.11, a number which means a huge amount to me. For many many years I've seen all the 1's in various places and when I finally looked up the 'meaning' of the number it was 'the world telling you you're exactly where you're meant to be' or 'that someone you've lost is still close by' or 'you're supported by forces you can't see.' Or words along those lines. This year my husband started to see the numbers along with my daughter (in fact, so much so that when she and her friend were travelling, her friend had it tattooed on her!) For me, it was Minnie's way of telling me that having her put out of her suffering was the 'right' thing to do. Of course I Knew this (see above) but the thinking mind had a lot to say about it. If you're currently experiencing change, loss and/or grief and are finding it hard to navigate don't hesitate to reach out. There are a variety of ways that I help people to come to know their 'true self' of peace, ease and contentment. There really is no need to suffer. So much love, Vicki xx Upcoming eventsMonthly In Person Meetup We meet on the last Monday of every month to explore living from the 'heart' rather than the 'head', who you really are, what's true and other such topics. The next meeting is on 26th October, 12pm for a 12.30pm start until 2pm. Nancy Potter House, Topsham, Devon, Exe-ercise Meeting Room, upstairs. £10 per session. Book and pay using this link. A Day of Non-Duality Save the date - Sunday 7th February 2027. I'll be joining colleague Kirstien Bjerregaard in her Field of Possibility in rural Devon to explore and discover more about non-duality and it's every day application. More details to follow shortly. Ways To Work With MeRead my books I've written two books, both of which invite you to experiment and explore living life differently. The first, The Truth Beyond Thought; Experiments To Rediscover Peace & Freedom, helps guide you to first seeing what you're not, to remembering what you are. The second, Intuition Experiment, is a combination of book and journal, and invites you into a month-long experiment to living life from intuition rather than conditioned habitual thinking. Both are available to download on my website as PDF's or on Amazon as e-books or physical books. The Intuition Experiment Community This is my supportive monthly membership that you can join and leave at any time, to explore living more from intuition (or 'true self') than from conditioned, habitual thoughts. It's where I'm most active in supporting individuals to live a free-er life outside of my 1:1 work. If you find yourself wanting to live life differently, then join this lovely small community to transition to a new paradigm. One where more ease and flow is available, more of the time. Full details here. 1:1 Coaching/Mentoring I have space for a couple of people in my 1:1 work. If you'd like more personalised support to live a life of freedom then book a free exploratory call to see if we might be a good fit to work together. The call itself may be enough to move you forward... |
