Hello Reader,

As I sit writing this I'm in my 'sun room' looking at my garden, listening to the birds chirp and the wind blow through the leaves on the tree. It's hot. None of us really know what to do with this unfamiliar experience. But there's a difference, it seems, between the birds and trees and humans. The former, I'd suggest, are simply 'with' the heat. The latter, it appears, are in resistance.

What do I mean by that?

I mean, they are fighting what is. They are fighting the heat. Which might mean 'battling on regardless', pushing the body too hard given the temperatures, or expending energy that the body needs by complaining about it!

Heat, a bit like the dark in the winter, can be an invitation to pause.

Perhaps nature is inviting the human race to simply be still, to Be?

And I know, that's not always possible. There are things us humans may have to do, like going to work, getting shopping and entertaining children, but just notice how the mind likes to get involved, and often makes things worse.

The narrative of "I'm too hot", "it's too hot", "I can't bear it!" don't serve you in any way. When attention is there, there's an experience of discomfort with the heat.

Notice how when that is payed less attention to (and it may not be that narrative, but something along those lines!), there's simply a sensation in the body (that the mind labels as 'too hot'). What's wrong with that sensation in and of itself. Get curious! What's actually there without thought?

Which reminds me that it is a whole year ago that I published my first book, The Truth Beyond Thought; Experiments To Rediscover Peace & Freedom.

It hasn't made me rich, yet (!), but I still marvel at how it, and my second book Intuition Experiment; A Month Of Rediscovering Your True Nature To Live A Miraculous Life, came about.

If you haven't read them yet then perhaps this hot spell is the perfect opportunity to sit still and do so ;).

New Mastermind Group

Last week in my newsletter I gave some information about my newest group offering. A beautiful group of women is already coming together to see what's possible when we stop living by the rules of life that we've innocently picked up. You know the ones...probably in the voice of your parents or teachers, that says you're not capable of something, or you're this type of person, or that you have to do X this way...

The Mastermind will consist of a small group of committed women who desire to live life on their own terms...learning to listen to themselves deeply, rather than paying attention to the noisy world of opinions and rules around them.

I know from experience that it's very easy to get swept up in the 'latest' and 'best' way to do something. But really, there isn't one! The best way to do anything is going to come from You, not from what worked for someone else...although, of course, that can work too for a time.

I've called it the Throw Out The Rules Mastermind, for obvious reasons.

We all know, that doing anything differently, is much more enjoyable when accompanied by others on the same path to cheer you on and remind you of what's possible.

Doing anything differently on your own can be a lonely experience and often leads back to old habits. After all, if you try to quit smoking but all your friends smoke, it's going to be pretty tough to remain a non-smoker.

So if you feel that you'd like to live life with less rules and more freedom and you'd like the support of a group to do that, get in touch. It's just £50 per month on a rolling basis and we'll meet fortnightly on Fridays between 12.30pm - 1.30pm kicking off on 3rd July.

I've got to dash. My dog seems to not be well so I need to sort her out.

Until next time, happy experimenting!

Much love,

Vicki
