Chapter eleven: The ritual of inner preparation Realignment with the Vertical
Extract from the text (pages 101 – 105)
Realignment with the Vertical describes the process of creating a conscious contact with the energies of Earth and the universe, imagining that they are Beings with which we can enter into a relationship of exchange, communication and consciousness.
The essential qualities we find when we enter into contact with the Earth are security and stability. By opening our awareness towards the Earth and extending our inner senses to create an energetic contact, we can find all the security and stability we need to feel safe and protected. We imagine the Earth as Mother, offering us her abundance, the fruit and flowers of her being. Energetic contact with the Earth creates a sense of grounding and is achieved through breathing into the belly and becoming more aware in actual present time. Grounding increases our awareness of the physical body and our relationship with it.
To balance the density and stability of the Earth we also enter into contact with the universe, with the vastness of heaven, experienced through our perception of light and our sense of communion with existence. Extending our awareness towards heaven, we ask the light to be with us, to flow in us, to heal us. We imagine light from the universe as a colour and the quality of communion and energy from the Earth as the quality of stability - two energies which flow into us as a form of liquid light. The relationship with Earth and universe creates a flow of subtle energy entering through the pelvis and the crown of the head, reinforcing the vertical axis of the body. Reinforcement of the axis in this fashion gives us the balanced qualities of firmness and suppleness, stability and lightness.
Regular practice of Realignment with the Vertical leads to the development of greater detachment, independence and emotional maturity.

Chapter twenty-two: Going the way of the white clouds
“We are going the way of the white clouds, home to You”. Sufi song.
Extract from the text (pages 259 – 261)
Of all the tools I have acquired throughout my years of learning, it is my intuition that has been the most valuable. The intuition is the beginning and the end; it is the essence, the answer. The intuition opens the door to the Truth, to the vast mysteries of existence and to the equally vast mysteries of the human being.
We are all intuitive. Of this I am certain. However, intuition is not always an easy gift to carry. To perceive the truth in the midst of lies causes deep sadness. To carry awareness of the long path already travelled by the soul can be tiring, at times an oppressive weight to bear. To perceive and feel the sadness, fear and suffering of others is heart-rending, almost too much to bear. To be so sensitive - to feel, to see, to know - at times, it is hard to be all that and still be gay, vibrant, laughing.
But intuitive we are and we cannot be another way. It is our birthright, our inheritance. It is part of our depth, our fragility and our ultimate strength and beauty. To refuse our intuition is to refuse ourselves. To refuse ourselves, we are condemned to a lost and lonely life, cut off from our hearts, cut off from feeling, and cut off from the source from where we have come.
Reconciliation with our intuition brings us home to ourselves and, in coming home to ourselves, we come home to the divinity within. We rediscover our deepness, our vast potential and the endless mystery of ourselves.
In aligning ourselves to our intuition, we give birth to the marriage between the masculine and feminine living within us. We create a movement of inner alchemy and once this movement is activated, we will never again be the same. Intuition brings us to independence and inner reliance. We are able to seek our own counsel, to find the answers to our questions within ourselves in the calm, silent temple of the inner soul. The ultimate gift of the intuition is the gift of homecoming. Coming home to ourselves, we come to our appropriate place, to our true purpose.
We have, each and every one of us, a reason for living - we have a purpose. It is this purpose that we must discover and then realize in order to accomplish the evolution of our soul. One day we will die to this world and we will return to the light from which we came. But the essential being that we are, the consciousness of our spirit and soul, is eternal and will remember the path we have travelled long after our bodies have gone to dust. Our origins are in light and our intuition is the incarnation of our light nature in all its power, wisdom and truth. By giving a place to our intuition we heal ourselves of ancient wounds and old, old sorrows. We give a place to joy, laughter and knowingness. We give a place to our heart and we allow our wisdom to be alive within us. Guided in love and protected by wisdom, we are sure to find our path all the way home.
