Karma

 I have all 8 of your books. You said that I am not what I think I am. The real me is the AWARENESS of that ever-changing idea of a self, other and world. That AWARENESS is unlimited and infinite. There is not a single thing that is not possible within that space.Not sure if you are familiar with the idea of karma in Buddhism. If you do, would you be able to explain how karma fits into the above truth?

Healing vs re-traumatising: listener question

Could moving towards things that challenge the identity be the do-er repeating old patterns as they there isn’t a distinction between behaviours not good for the system.

'I have nowhere to go, nothing to gain, no attachment' Listener question

Hi Claire, a question to share. Manifesting a thought and believing I already have it, this idea has always worked for me, but twenty years ago while in deep meditation for three months I experienced another realm in daily life. I realised I had nowhere to go, nothing to gain with no attachment, everything was perfect deep inside of me. and the world around me. So if the latter is the truth without going into a meditation practice, how do we navigate daily when wanting to create something or do we think of something and let the universal energy do the rest?

Are you saying don't use any body practices? Listener question

Would really appreciate your thought's on The Polyvagal Theory, titration,/pendulation and the value of having someone’s presence as you ‘feel the feelings’When I first came to your work, I was often not able to simply sit in the feeling of deeper suffering, whereas with  learning to stabilise my body-mind through the breath, I find my capacity to sit in the suffering seems to have increased.My understanding is that the body is not able to heal when it is in fight/flight so being able to settle to a more parasympathetic state with the intention to revisit the suffering from that place has been helpful for me, however it sounds to me like you are saying it is better to just sit in the suffering no matter what, and not to use any substances or techniques to ease your way into it. Is that correct or am I misinterpreting you?

feeling emotions creating more separation: listener question

Can you please speak about feeling emotions and sensations in the body. I've heard you talk about the need to feel difficult sensations fully but for me this sometimes seems to solidify the sense of self, the idea that there is a 'me' who is deliberately choosing to feel this thing which is separate to me. Could you perhaps talk through what's happening when you allow a sensation to unfold? I realize this can be hard - maybe impossible - to put into words though.

The body: listener question

What about exercise and healthy eating?My body functions well when I eat well. It feels less sluggish, less bloated, it digests food better and I feel energised. However, it has physical injury. When I don’t exercise and strengthen my muscles, the pain is significant. I have also noticed that as a result of these 2 things my body looks different to the periods I don’t.If I am honest, part of the reason I like the exercise  is to maintain this body shape, because I like it. Which I think is part of the identified self, is that right?However, when I stop exercising for a while the injury pain always motivates me back to it.I have often questioned myself this “double benefit” and not really come up with an answer other than that I’m not loving myself if I want to change my body. But I am also strengthening it because it becomes pain free? Now, with your teachings there could be some help! Is Looking into the reason I want a particular shaped body where I should start? Should I stop admiring my body? What is the relationship with a fit and healthy body all about?Thank you!

Stress, victim blaming and bypass? Listener question

When you talk about stress as a subjective experience it sounds to me like victim blaming, spiritual bypass and the risk of keeping people dangerously stuck. How can we be in this conversation and acknowledge that many situations are intolerable for people?

Feeling hurt: listener question

Someone I love said something to me that felt cruel. I noticed that long after the heartfelt, sincere apologies were offered and received, there was still the icky ache in my stomach that I’m very, very familiar with.Despite the forgiving, I noticed that there was still a holding onto it. As if it were money to be added to a savings account, I noticed with an “Ah-ha!” And an “Oh-oh!” And an “Oh Sh*t!” that part of me was kind of treasuring this hurt and adding it to the “I’m a victim” pile of memories and storied hurts.It feels so icky, and so familiar. Safe. Known. But so painful. This pile has been established and added to throughout my whole life. I remember feeling this ache as a small child. So this time the hurt was added to the pile with new information. It is seen. Compassion rushes in. And a marveling that the body/mind has created this as a painfully necessary way to secure the identity. And that part of the identity is “victim.”I suppose there must be villain moments. I hope not too many. I know in the incident the other day there was a projection onto the person’s hurtful remark as “villain.” All seen through this body-mind’s lens.My question. Does the body/mind eventually give up this black/white view or does it continue, but as seen for the story it is? Is this the healing you talk of?
