Introduction to Relational Awakening

Week 1: Shifting into the Field

• Define the field of shared consciousness

• Establish a group field with the cohort and begin to explore its unique energetic qualities

• Develop a felt sense of the field’s presence in and around you

• Learn how to access the field of shared consciousness through your own unique doorway

• See/sense the unique doorways of others

Areas of inquiry: What does it feel like when you are shifted? What are unmistakable signs? What do you see, sense, know, or feel when you are in the field?

Week 2: Subtle Energy Body

• Explore and experience your subtle energy body when you are connected to the field

• Discover the threshold of connection with the subtle energy body of another being

• Allow your system to acclimate to this new way of relating

Areas of inquiry: What is it like to be with another being while in this expanded level of mind? How is it different from when you are in your thinking mind? What do you discover about yourself and your practice partner? How does the body feel different?

Week 3: The Medicine of the Field 

• Begin to recognize and release habits of belief and behavior that disconnect you from the field

• Rest in the field and discover its unique medicine 

• Allow your system to reorganize and recalibrate around the field instead of around your parts

Areas of inquiry: Where am I holding or contracted around a wounded part? How can I start to name and invite my wounded parts into the shared field once I’m with another being? What happens when my parts are known from the field?

Week 4:  Secure Attachment to the Field

• Stabilize your connection to the field and establish a basis of trust in its wisdom

• Engage in somatic practices to amplify your connection to the field and increase your tolerance for peace, well-being, and pleasure

• Locate safety in the field and understand the “mechanics” of how an open system is safer than a closed one

Areas of inquiry: How can the body support you as you access the field? What part does relaxation and pleasure play in helping you to access this expanded state?

Week 5: Energetic Hygiene

• Learn how to care for both the physical body and the subtle body as you access the field

• Develop practices to help stay clear as you connect with energies outside your individual body-field 

Area of inquiry: How do I discern what I allow into my personal field?

Week 6: Vow and Intention 

• Learn how the field organizes around your intention 

• Discover how your intention both guides and guards you as you access expanded states

• Discover the field as a perceptual tool to see, sense, and know from

Areas of inquiry: How do my perceptual abilities change when I am connected to the field? What is my purpose in accessing the field? How does my practice serve individual and collective healing?
