October Update and Offerings for Phillip Coupal and the Awaken Studio

Seizing the moment”, “taking that leap”, “make every moment count”, these thoughts are with me constantly as I bring forward the offerings at the new and vibrant Awaken Studio.

The September weekend workshop was empowering and opening. The October weekend workshop is exciting to see grow. The November and December workshops are open for registrations. Based in the interest that has been shown for the workshops they will be at capacity well before the weekend that they are scheduled in.”Seize the moment.” The peace and power found in the Thursday evening Breath and Movement class has been a reassurance “Take that leap”. I have shifted Wednesday evening to be more client-centric and will offer a playful, soothing and experimental laboratory to explore Eros. “Make every moment count.”

Here are the offerings for October and beyond. Please make sure to seize the opportunities for yourself and become a part of the heartfelt and open community that is forming at the Awaken Studio.

Much of the workshop will take place without cloths and will provide the opportunity to explore the ass in a full-bodied and whole-hearted manner.

The workshop will look at ways to create a safe, sane and consensual, conscious awareness towards anal pleasure. By shedding some light and offering some experience onto an area of the body that is sometimes held in darkness and shame. The workshop can reveal new attitudes and awareness in relation to the ass and anal touch, both individually and with a partner.

Rooted in the teachings of Joseph Kramer, Tantra and other teachers of erotic exploration this workshop will bring fresh and new information and help to create a sense of knowledge, integrity, peacefulness and balance especially in relation to the BUTT.

I woke up this morning and went to sleep last night loving trees. I dreamt of the radiant green energy that radiates from the trees. I dreamt and fantasized about the radiant green energy that flows from my heart!

All this from the Breath – Movement – Meditation class last night at the Awaken Studio.

I am so glad that I opened the studio space for this. I am grateful for the wonderful pairing of Paul Galloro.

My body feels so great today as I channel the energy and power of the tree to my spine. My heart feels wonderful and light today as I feel the green energy seeping through me. Erotically and creatively I feel open and clear.

Grateful for the wonderful group of men who showed up for this event!

“If you aren’t good at loving yourself, you will have a difficult time loving anyone, since you’ll resent the time and energy you give another person that you aren’t even giving to yourself.”
– Barbara De Angelis

A question… When you are giving do you give to yourself first?

What would happen if you were able to set the tone for how you would like the world to be by starting with yourself?

LOVE – This will be my motto for the weekend!

Being generous is sometime very difficult.

Tears of Gratitude or Frustration

Being generous without being acknowledged for the generosity can be very challenging. Then continuing to be generous especially after being slapped or criticized for what you have given, even though you gave out of your best intention, is actually excruciatingly difficult. When all has been said and done and there is yet another slap that comes along, this shakes me and makes me want to be brittle and harsh. This final slap fills me with resentment and makes me want to be unkind. I must battle within myself to remain on my path which is one of generosity and kindness.

Being generous, beyond what one’s boundary might be, often does not work out, as it can lead to the resentment that I am now feeling.

There is a place in me where I must find my own wisdom about simply giving to get through the situation, over or out of the situation. Being generous can sometimes be the only road to go. Sometimes being generous while being in what seems a lack of generosity can be a struggle.

The struggle is in the surrender. Surrendering to the horrible situation, surrendering to the lack of understanding or dirth of kindness that is being given back can sometimes be a lesson. Ultimately, I hope that this lesson does not affect my ability to give and be kind, for me to seek understanding. I hope that when all is done and the ending has played out that there can be at least a small sense of peace. I know that I am certainly glad each time a small piece of this separation, this divorce per say, comes to its own conclusion. It saddens me that what I once thought was  benevolent and kind, can be so unconscious and patently unkind. I must surrender to my hurt and get back up, dust myself off and assume my own personal power.

In finding my personal power, I must recognize my contraction into the bitter, resentful and hurt place and surrender to my pain and, choose my power. I can be powerful when I change my mind, change my thoughts and my heart. I must follow my resolve to be kind and generous and know that by being on my path I will feel better and be more able to be a loving human being no matter what is happening on the outside.

Generosity! Sometimes it can be a struggle and then when I am powerful and in my own sense of kindness and generosity, I am in my self, my power and being true to who I am.

Came across a posting this morning that asked “How connected are you to your inner child?”

This got me to wondering about how one can truly be connected to that inner child.

The clarity that came to me, was that play was the way that I was able to connect and access the boundless energy of the inner child.

Much of the work that I do in groups is about play. Exploring how we as a group can play together, have fun together, be wild and creative together, be still and connected together. Play and access to what is known as “Beginners Mind” or a place within our self where we are lacking negative judgements and harsh comparison. Accessing this new-found or rediscovered “naive” place can be a springboard into the joy and abandon of play, allowing for surrender into the new, creative and vibrant.

Play can enliven and stimulate LIFE Force, Kundalini, Chi.

Play can be a place where shame and guilt can be left to the side. Play can be a place where freedom and courage can reside. Play can be a portal into all of the potent and powerful creative source of the inner child.
