Yeah, like that’s gonna work! Not.  However, stay with me on this one and if you can get your head round this you’ll be able to save yourself a great deal of heartache.

Ok, open-minded?

Here’s the story. I’ve just come back from a day at the JamYang Buddha Centre (doesn’t that have a great ring about it ☺) in South London. I was at Joel Young’s Non Personal Awareness course and I’ve learned that nothing I have ever taken personally is personal to me. Joel says “its not personal because at a quantum level, infinite potential exists everywhere. To put it another way, everything exists everywhere simultaneously and we selectively experience that which we tune into”.  Confused?  I was, but.....

stay with me on this. Because what I gather this means is this. We are pure energy and energy is not personal. Energy just is. So every experience in your life comes from an energetic thought or felt experience. And we give more energy to those things we focus on. Which means if we focus on something uncomfortable and put energy into that focus, it follows that you will feel bad. Our energy follows our thoughts which in turn follows the energy around us.

So…. If you are want to rid yourself of an uncomfortable experience in your life or are experiencing a negative and pervasive stressful pattern, Joel’s NPA system will allow you to let go of the stressful energy you have been identifying with by using six simple phrases to shift your energy.   When spoken out loud to yourself over 30 days, these six key phrases allow your consciousness to make the transition from taking whatever it is personally, to a neutral position of Non Personal Awareness of it. And,as a bonus, you can also include the new energy you would like to allow in. It’s like transmuting negative thinking into a realm of possible wholesome options that make your life flow with ease just by repeating six phrases.

Like most new concepts the language I have used and even the way Joel uses to explain it is never adequate. This is a system that has to be experienced to even have the vaguest idea of how it works. But it does.

When energy is flowing in and out with no restrictions, everything in your life flows and flourishes. When you take anything personally, you are, in fact, stopping the energy flow. Sometimes things just have to blow through. No one can stop the storms of life. We can batten down the hatches, but as I said in my last blog, unless we bend like the Palm Trees we will experience the pain that comes with resistance.

And if nothing is personal, Non Personal Awareness allows us the possibility of observing our lives without judgment, blame, shame, guilt, resentment etc. Imagine how freeing that would be?

The sense of release, (which is like having a new ‘lease on ease’), is unexplainable. (Well this is quantum physics, which, lets face it, is pretty unexplainable).

All I can tell you is that my day spent at the weird and wonderful JamYang Buddha Centre, with a gorgeous organic lunch and a bunch of very interesting people was a wonderful way to spend a Saturday.

So if you are interested go visit Joel Young www.TruthsCompany.com
and make up your own mind. If it can help you not to take your upsets personally (which doesn’t mean we condone bad behaviour) it might be worth a try.

Something to think about?

Lots of Love
