I recently
had the pleasure and honor of spending time here in NYC with a wonderful
healer/facilitator named Damien Wynne. He’s a lovely Irish man living in
Germany who visits the States now and again, giving workshops and personal
healing sessions. My friend Mel promotes him here and strongly recommended I
attend his Spring seminar and take advantage of his unique gifts.
In that many
of my previous teachers have been women, the chance to sit with a man in Sacred
space has a special appeal for me. I was not disappointed in the least. Even though
his personal background is very different than mine, the Heartspace shared is
always the same no matter what our individual stories happen to be.
Over the
years in this respect, I’ve come to attend to the promptings of consciousness by attentively
watching what shows up in my life, especially from those I respect and care
for. I’ve found God speaks most personally to me through my personal relationships,
regardless of the status or circumstances. So was the case with Damien. As always, I’m
thrilled to have listened to my intuition and followed my good sense by
attending his appearances while he was in town.
In fact,
thanks to Mel, I was able to assist her in her preparations and lend support
during his programs – a Friday and Monday evening event on either ends of a
weekend, all day workshop. Don't you know, I am so grateful for all the grace that comes my way. Thank you!
In truth,
I was very curious to experience how Damien worked, yet largely went to tap into the
current he works with. At this point, this is always the main attraction. I wanted
to observe as a fellow facilitator, though more important, experience the Juice,
feeling the shifts and expansions I was told he co-created for those he works
with.
Having lived,
trained and worked in Sedona for over 10 yrs, I’ve witnessed and experienced a
fairly large array of healer practitioners, presenting their services. Along with
living on Ibiza, sampling some of the various offerings on the European consciousness
circuit, by no means have I done it all but surely enough to know for myself.
As a result, I’ve come to where the newest and best techniques and 5th
dimension-sent modalities aren’t immediately appealing anymore.
Many years
ago I learned it ain’t the meat, it’s the motion that works the highest magic.
The form is always secondary to the content and in this regard, know the most
powerful ‘healings’ happen when the healer isn’t so present, acting in charge.
From this, during a session years ago, the saying ‘through me, not from me’ was born. I believe we enter
the Sacred within ourselves with equal measure humility and self empowerment,
equal degrees of compassion, courage and humorous self reflection. Four
Agreements paraphrased, you can't personally take yourself too seriously and have to do your
very best to laugh often at what you see.
Also
observed, the practitioners with strong self-promotions were often the ones
who looked like they were mostly trying to convince themselves of their worth.
This was gladly lacking in Damien. For me, this alone was worth the price of admission.
It was so
refreshing being with a guy who appeared to not only be walking his talk but
felt to have embodied his talk, his message, through and through. This
was a revelation. Again, not having sat with so many men recently and having
had various, mostly lacking encounters with brothers here in NYC over this past
year, I was touched by Damien’s simple, yet distinct expression of his
Christedness.
This is what
I came for when I initially signed up, to witness and experience this Christedness,
alive and living well. Even though the format was slightly different in the
various venues Damien presented, his manner was consistent as was the quality
of energy that came through for the groups in attendance. Having learned many
years ago, the really good ones always deliver consistently, regardless of
where the Sun, Moon or Pluto are that particular day or the other
many influences having more sway on their personal reality. They just show up,
present in their own clear consciousness, aligned with the Beloved and yes, the energy does flow.
It’s only because, after all,
they really aren’t doing the work. And they know it. They’re just the
messengers … and just as Tom Kenyon said a couple of weeks ago during his visit
here, ‘I’m just the pizza delivery guy!’ Don’t you just Love this? Through the
years having waded through my own deeply egoic need to impress others of my
value, I sincerely appreciate when another, who carries significant healing
mojo, carry themselves with a simple grace and ease.
Real power is
like this. It only has to Be – nothing more, nothing less… and this is always more
than enough. Without going into detail about how Damien worked, doing this or
saying that, I listened and tuned more intently into how he internally called
in and caressed the very energies he spoke to out loud in group. This energy can never
be fooled, manipulated, coerced or tamed. It is the Christ consciousness being reawakened
and reborn upon the planet now.
Experience
knows: only in purity does the Christ flow through. Purity is both specific and
relative/subjective, however, the word derives from the root Pure and this is
never negotiable or deniable when present. During his teaching sessions, I
recognized ways he ignited his breath and body as well, opening the energetic
spaces first within himself and then in turn, the room. I saw the channel of Light he evoked, filling and surrounding the room as he encouraged all of us to do the same, individually
for ourselves.
I witnessed
the energies in the group shift, change and lift, watching as everyone, as best
they could, ride the currents coming through. It was a gentle though powerful
wave, sweet or rather, very dear. The Beloved’s Love always feels like this –
in other ways too of course, yet always deeply reverent and sincere. How could
It not? I too gave myself to the current, following his strong request to “Expand!Expand!Expand!” breathing deeply,
calling the Christ Heart into our own Hearts and bodies, full on.
Over and over
again we were encouraged to keep “Breathing
& Expanding” all to ignite and lift the energies held within the hidden, internal
places where we’ve all left some funky old baggage behind. These psychic
spaces, crammed full with our accumulated and disowned shit (or so we still
call it) are always the doorways of our greatest healing, awaiting our totally present,
conscious awareness and committed intention to heal.
It really
does take both, you know. Intentions are great and necessary for focusing our
visions into form, however, the real work comes in always choosing to face and
embrace all of our selves, radiance and Shadow alike. That’s our life’s work fulfilled
to our Souls eternal delight. I believe it’s a pretty rare, far and few between
quality to find in a man - just to say. This is finally changing, albeit too
slowly for my taste. But hey, this is why we’re alive here in the first place, to help bring this
through now, both women and men alike.
To feel the
Beloved inside is indeed a precious gift of God, however, to embody This takes
only one thing. Nothing else can be more
important and nothing less will do. From this purity comes. Ultimately, no
thrill of the world and all things from it, can measure up to the unwavering devotion
and commitment to align and embody The Beloved with each breath The most enlightened beings are
often the most simple. They just do God.
As a
facilitator and participant, the potent moments the energy shifts within a group
is a wondrous thing. In other vernaculars, it’s called the Holy Spirit filling
the room. However you get the healin’- it’s a very good thing. Being fortunate enough
to spend two evenings and two full days in the Expando Zone with Damien, I got
the necessary recoding presented by all he/we called and breathed in together.
I got infused
with the energy reboot and upgraded in resonance having repeatedly filled my
lungs, Heart and wings, riding the updrafts we all co-created.The paradox always plays out in moments like this. Sure you have to simply Be Present and yet, you have to do the do to bring the current in and through. You have to keep breathing deep, always with a sense of purpose and in this respect, keep yourself on task. This is the doing part of the show.
The old stuck energies, long held both individually and collectively won't just Poof - Be Gone! Nope. It takes focus, effort and consistent commitment. It takes - dare I say - work. This last statement may be so New Age, in-apropos, the work part I mean and yet, unless I keep my attention placed on expanding and filling with the presence of Christ, breath by breath, I won't have taken advantage of the gift presented through Damien and all the other signpost Blessings in my life.
And this feels like a sorry fate indeed.
