Choosing Holistic Presence in our Lives

Whole-Body Mystical Presencing (WBMP) is a way of living in moment-to-moment connection with the divine.

Start your day by invoking presence: “I welcome Presence at any moment, chosen or received.” You can also create a simple gesture or movement to embody this practice.

In WeSpace, connect with the shared energy of others, even when apart, by opening your awareness to the collective presence.

This practice deepens your connection to both the divine and others in everyday life.

Becoming Mindfully Whole

Beaks and minds

I saw standing on the stones of the riverbank

a dark bird with its back to me.

It turned its head to left, then right

revealing a beady eye

and an outrageous orange beak

almost as long as its head.

In some other world

I knew it as an oystercatcher.

 

I have seen different birds’ beaks adapted

in manifold ways to feed self and offspring.

 

I have also seen human minds adapted to their purpose:

displaying stabbing verbal sharpness

or the scattering gloom of anxiety

or the tight gleam of avarice.

 

And I have seen the enlightened mind

intimate with everything

like a soft beak the colours of the rainbow

big enough and flexible enough

to nourish the world.

From: Some Palaeolithic Creature in Me

Walking into Interbeing with Our Feet

Regeneration of the Divine Earth

Integrating Our Mystical Participation as Nature

Regeneration is taking the step from seeing the earth as an object and into experiencing it through our interbeing. Into “humans doing things as nature.”

The incarnation of Christ in the cosmos is the divine interfused in all things, very much including the earth. And so our living into and as the Body of Christ will also be through the divine earth.

We must reimagine and reconfigure our relationship with the earth and the orientation of our consciousness. We cannot and must not “sustain” the way things currently are, but rather we can come into our generative participation in loving service and care for our larger body.

The Wombful WeSpace of Generativity

Integrating the Heart and Womb in Communal Becoming

In our WeSpace groups in ICN, we most often and naturally experience the shared space among us primarily from our heart center. As the heart is our center of relationality, that makes sense. 

The womb center also has a powerful capacity for collective awareness. The WeSpace of the womb is of a different nature, and for many, can be difficult to experience—especially if our attention is caught up in the strength of our heartful connection of love and relationality.

What would it look like to set the intention to directly explore the shared womb space in integration with our heartful connection?

Poetry as a Portal to the Heart 


Poetry and the arts can be wonderful portals to help us enter into the felt awareness and experience of our embodied centers. They help us integrate our participation and understanding through engaging our mythic and magic structures of consciousness.
