Dear Friends,

Here at Vital Switch we are very excited to be supporting 3 meditation workshops on the East Coast of North America in the coming month. It seems it is the season to be meditating!

There is a weekend meditation workshop this coming weekend May 14th and 15th in Toronto, Canada with about 20 people already signed up to attend.

In New York there is a weekend meditation workshop with Matteus Levell going ahead on June 4th and 5th.

* A Reminder that this Saturday May 14th is the last day for the Early Bird Special Discount Price of $170.00 for that NYC workshop compared to the full price of $195.00, so if you are thinking of coming now is time to register. *

Boston completes the Trio of workshops with a wonderful weekend scheduled for June 11th and 12th, to be led by our friend Cliona McNally, visiting from her permanent residence at the Clairvision School’s retreat center in California.

I have included details about all 3 workshops below, in case you or any friends that you have are interested in attending.

With gratitude and joy
Samantha

Thank you to everyone who came to the Clutter Clearing and Space Clearing workshops with Tracey Stanton, they were wonderful.
I also want to express gratitude and say how much I enjoyed writing a post titled “The Seduction Power of Venus” for Lyuve the art, beauty, life blog.

Here at Vital Switch, we are now getting ready for some awesome meditation events in both New York, USA and Toronto, Canada. In New York we have a series of meditation meetups and a seminar.

There is a meditation meetup on Friday May 6th at 7pm in Manhattan and a meditation seminar at the Meta Center on Wednesday May 11th.

For now, some notes about undoing emotional patterns:

Blog
How do you undo emotional patterns?

The experience of emotional stuck-ness is one of the main things that makes modern people different from people in the past. People today think a lot more than people 100 or 200 years ago. And our emotions are generally a lot more intense, more gripping, more heavy than they were in the past.

You don’t have to take my word for it, go to the Internet and search Google images for “people farming 1900″. People in the past did not have the same emotional tension nor the amount of mental stimulation that we have today. Globalization, the speed of change in technology (Moore’s Law) and information overload all mean that we have a lot more stimulation than ever before.

Interestingly, the etymology of the word stress (see etymonline.com) as a reference to a psychological state was first attested to in 1942. Prior to that time the word stress referred to a physical compression, hardship or pressure. The word stress is now extremely well used around the world to illustrate how much emotional and mental pressure people experience.

At Vital Switch we see much of the emotional and mental tension experienced by people today as being a result of the blockages and the conditioning that holds us back. The emotional scars from the past and the social or cultural conditioning which stop people from being true to themselves can be undone with the meditation style of therapeutic techniques that we use called ISIS.

The secret of the ISIS technique is that it uses the principles of meditation to help people get to the source of the reason they are stuck. My experience is that when you actually see the real source of an emotional blockage, or a stuck belief system, then you can make a real choice to step out of that patterning.

If you would like to know more about ISIS contact me on samantha@vitalswitch.com, or go to the Vital Switch website www.vitalswitch.com or see the Clairvision website.

This is the last entry for this series of 10 blogs that began on December 14th 2010. I am looking forward to preparing something new for the next phase, it may be about awakening sexual energy and meditation or something along those lines. Meanwhile, it has been great to connect with you all, thank you so much for reading.

I (Samantha) am really looking forward to facilitating a wonderful weekend meditation workshop in Toronto, Canada May 14th and 15th Meditation Weekend, Toronto Canada.

There are a lot more events in both New York City and Toronto, ON Canada listed below. But first, some notes about meditation…

Blog

Emotional Clutter Clearing?

What happens when you meditate and your emotions get in the way? Many people have the experience of the same emotional patterns and thoughts recurring, distracting them from stillness.

The short answer is that this means it could be time for some emotional clutter clearing. The technique that I have successfully used for years to facilitate emotional cleansing or release is called ISIS. This is a meditation-based technique that uses the principle of sourcing. A core principle of many styles of meditation is to use a technique to source consciousness. Sourcing consciousness takes you back to the experience of Being. In ISIS you source the emotions or the thoughts to find out where they really come from. Usually that is some kind of emotional scar or wound.

Emotions and thoughts can be viewed on a similar level of consciousness for the purpose of meditation. If you tune into your experience of emotions and thoughts while you are meditating, you can see for yourself that they do have a similar effect on your energy.
As you probably already know, the general advice about emotions and thoughts for meditation is the same: “Let them come and let them go, returning to the technique as soon as you notice your are distracted”.

The difficulty occurs when those emotions or even thought patterns do get stuck. This is when you feel blocked.

When emotional blockages or thought patterns recur in meditation or in life, no matter how you try address the external circumstances, it might be beneficial to undergo some emotional work. Clean out that emotional closet!

Working on yourself using a meditation-style of techniques can facilitate real change.

The next blog is more about emotional stuckness.

Blog

Meditation Skills for Being More while you are active in life

A few questions for you to ask yourself right now:

* Where is your awareness right now?
* Are you thinking about the laundry list, is your “monkey mind” encompassing your experience?
* Are you daydreaming?
* Is your belly growling for lunch, or distracting you with sexual thoughts?
* Or is your awareness in a kind of blurry half here state? Where is your awareness right now?

Building a solid platform of self awareness takes practice. By building a solid platform of self awareness, I mean having the ability to remain present in the moment using a location in your body of energy as a resting place for awareness. An example would be having awareness in the third eye center while going about your daily activities. To learn more about the third eye see the free download of Samuel Sagan’s book Awakening The Third Eye.

You can have awareness of the third eye center just by feeling subtle sensations between the eye brows during daily activities. This is different than a meditation-type of focus when you are sitting each morning. When you are aware of the third eye center during meditation, you have your eyes closed. It is hard to drive and shop with your eyes closed, so obviously you have to do it differently in life.

Seriously though, having an awareness on that center of energy while you are going about daily tasks can deliver many benefits including:

- develop empathy skills or advanced listening skills,
- learn how to ground or seal your energy,
- learn how to “tune in” or know when food is fresh before you taste it,
- systematically sharpen your inner knowing or intuition,
- experience a peripheral third eye awareness, improving your ability to be alert when you are driving a car.

The next blog is about emotional work and meditation.

I am really excited to have Tracey Stanton, International Feng Shui and Space Clearing Specialist, come to town this month. Her talk “Creating Space For Love” on April 11th is going to be really sweet. Tracey has just spent a few weeks in intensive meditation practices so she is holding something really special for her visit here. It is worth making the effort to come and see her if you are at all interested.

There are a lot more events in both New York City and Toronto, ON Canada listed below. But first, some notes about meditation…

Blog

This is my last post focusing on meditation in this series, before I move onto the topic of meditation skills for being more in life. In this post I want to emphasize that meditation works best with repetition.

Meditation can be compared to going to the gym. When you meditate regularly you are building a functionality in your consciousness just like you build muscles in your physical body when you go to the gym. If you go to the gym once or twice, it will not do much for your body. But if you go to the gym regularly you will build muscular functionality, improve fitness, and most likely gain health benefits.

When you meditate irregularly it really does not have the same benefits as regular practice. Meditating every day at the same time builds a solid platform of self awareness, if you are using a technique that really works.
When you meditate every day with a technique that works, you are developing your consciousness. Meditation develops skills of self awareness, focus, and the ability to choose inner clarity.

So how do you know if your technique works?
A technique that works is not always going to stop your thoughts because you have been thinking for a long time.
But it should give you sustained experiences of inner stillness and a sense of getting out of the ordinary “chatterbox mind”. Those experiences of inner stillness should generally become easier or more sustainable over time. There may be fluctuations of emotions, thoughts, distractions and resistance from day-to-day but if you track your meditation experience over weeks or months there should be a sense of a general improvement.

The other thing that occurs when your meditation is working is that your life is generally better. That doesn’t mean you suddenly solve all of your problems when you begin to meditate. What it means is that there is an increase of harmony, flow, focus, clarity and opening in your life when your meditation is working.

For now, if you want to read further about making your meditation work, go to the Clairvision School website .
