This workshop focuses on how our inner reality is reflected through situations and those around us. It isn't always so much the behavior, as it is the patterns within the behavior. One pattern can give rise to an infinite number of expressions. Different emotions give off different vibrations, resonating with particular patterns, presenting opportunities for choices of behavior.

Emotions are the energy, "E" of our feelings in motion - E - Motion. For example; someone dear to us makes their transition, and we cry deeply, feel angry, abandoned and alone. We are expressing grief, the active manifestation of the feeling of loss. The most prevalent feeling, giving rise to any number of emotional responses, is fear. Fear believes that for something to exist there must also be nothing. Fear creates the delusion of separation from our true nature. If we deeply explore our feelings, we may discover that an element of fear is usually present. When fear is present, we experience difficulty in seeing that which exists behind the reflections we confront every day - the true nature of our being. Within us, is that which can neither be created nor destroyed. The energy/spirit that is within us, as us is an indestructible force.

We are at a time when we are releasing more of this potential to our experience. More then this, we are able to consciously participate in the process. When we realize, that our emotions determine our perceptions and attachments to certain situations, we can choose how we want to hold these things in our bodies. A response, rather than a reaction, lends itself to a higher frequency of vibration, in that, it holds the greater potential for understanding and resolution. A reaction lends itself to a lower frequency of vibration, in that it holds the greatest potential for confusion. Our responses to our emotions determine energetic frequencies that trigger the activation of our genetic code. These frequencies form geometric patterns that act as keys, unlocking the potential deep within our DNA. As this transformational process unfolds, our physiology begins to change, we feel a deep sense of the balance of things, perception expands, diet changes, we are sick less, and time seems to be moving faster, or dissolving. Our vibration is increasing in frequency - we are in a state of becoming more than we have known ourselves to be. This process has a name, scientists are aware of it, and call it "spontaneous genetic mutation." It is a process triggered by both internal, and external, indicators.

THE 9 ILLUMINATIONS OF AWARENESS, address nine perspectives through which we can more fully know ourselves. They follow as:

• THE AWARENESS OF BEING PRESENT
  
• THE AWARENESS OF JUDGEMENT
  
• THE AWARENESS OF SACRIFICE
  
• THE AWARENESS OF INTENT
  
• THE AWARENESS OF PROJECTION
  
• THE AWARENESS OF THE SHADOW
  
• THE AWARENESS OF THE DARK NIGHT
  
• THE AWARENESS OF ACCEPTANCE
  
• THE AWARENESS OF PURPOSE

THE 9 ILLUMINATIONS OF AWARENESS reveal that there is One Source reflecting through all manifest life. Light and shadow are not two opposing forces of good and evil, but rather, polarities of a single force. All experience is born of this single source, and we determine how we will define, and respond to it. To understand this, is to heal the sense of inner fragmentation and separation.

We know ourselves through the experience of our relationship to self and others. As we rise to the challenges revealed in our relationship to self and others we heal our distorted perceptions and awaken within the dream of life.
