Kundalini Splendor

Terry Patton is, to my mind, one of the most outstanding and inspiring wisdom teachers of our time.  What he says in this most recent video is a preview of his upcoming webinar, which covers ground that is basic to all who follow the "direct path" to union with the Beloved, especially those of us devoted to the kundalini experience.  Here is a poem I wrote which expresses the essence of his (and my) message:


Don’t Make Lists 

Every day a new flower rises
from your body’s fresh soil.
Don’t go around looking
for fallen petals
in a fairy tale, when you’ve
got the golden plant
right here, now,
shooting forth in light from your eyes,
your awakening crown.

Don’t make lists, or explore ancient accounts.
Forget everything you know
and open.

(From Marrow of Flame)




Dear Dorothy Walters,

I'm delighted to share the following short video with you from integral visionary Terry Patten, which packs a lot of wisdom in a small package. It will give you a clear and concise glimpse into the simplicity, aliveness and art of living the integral heart life.

Watch 1 ½-minute video: "The Secret to Authentic Spiritual Living" with Terry Patten

Terry's Living the Integral Heart training starts this week, and although the key to this heart-awakened approach to living ultimately requires giving up all methods and techniques -- as Terry shares in the above video -- you will need some guidance and practices on the way. And Terry is the perfect mentor for this profound journey.

His own four-decade quest to learn about and experience the higher reaches of the heart's intelligence -- and its capacity for love -- found him working with the Institute of HeartMath, leading the team that developed their first heart-rate variability device; working with philosopher Ken Wilber, translating his brilliant integral theory into a truly Integral Life Practice; and diving into his own committed spiritual practice and experiential studies of mysticism.



The core of integral heart living is to let go of all the striving and "approaches" and to simply SHOW UP. And Terry's course will help you to get to this easy-sounding, yet deeply challenging, place of true, soulful surrender.

In the first session of his training, you will discover the importance of "showing up" 100%... in every moment, beyond physical, emotional and spiritual contractions. This will include taking 100% responsibility for your own experience during the 7-week journey with Terry.

By taking this stand, we clearly discover what is in our way of this commitment, and ultimately, of being fully alive, conscious and powerful.

Living the Integral Heart will take you through a series of experiential processes and epiphanies with Terry's expert guidance and the course community's compassionate support.

These processes will gently invite your deepest integral heart forward... allowing its intelligence (informed by your whole-body intelligence, including mind, body and soul) to become not just the power source of your inspiration, but also the creative author of your most important life choices.

Showing up -- for this moment, for all of life's challenges and joys -- is the path to discovering, embracing and embodying our sacred self... the one we need to truly befriend so that we can then more fully open our hearts to others and all of life.

Living the integral heart is where the performance art of spiritual living comes alive. It's what makes the fully intelligent and compassionate heart beat, and it's at the core of authentic spirituality. Vibrant. Beautiful. Naked. Alive.

You can find out more and register for this truly groundbreaking new training -- which gives you a time-tested foundation for living life heartfully and as your wisest spiritual self -- here.

  in spirit,
Stephen Dinan
PS- Remember that you can also find out more about this profound course -- and ask your big questions about powering up your own integral heart -- TOMORROW, Monday, February 23, at 5:00pm Pacific during Terry's special Q&A session.
