Miraculous Medicine - June 29, 2025 - Dharma Talk

In this talk, I explore how practice invites us to return again and again — to breath, posture, intention — dissolving fear and self-criticism, and opening to the quiet miracle of simply being here. When we give ourselves fully to this moment — to a bow, a breath, a meal, a conversation — life itself becomes the miraculous medicine this world so deeply needs.

“The Dharma is being preached in everything." This Dharma talk, offered just after summer solstice, reflects on the rhythms of breath, season, and spirit. It explores the natural arising and dissolving that moves through our practice, our emotions, and our path — and invites us to rest in the still point between.

In today’s episode, I’ll be sharing an active Trancework session that will provide resources for your subconscious mind to more quickly discern, clarify, express, and sustain healthy boundaries with others and with yourself. Almost everyone, at one time or another is going to run into challenges around the issue of boundaries – it might be one of the most important subconscious thought patterns to address well... and in this session, I’ve pulled out all the stops, and I’m confident this session won’t just transform your awareness and expression of healthy boundaries, but that you’ll genuinely enjoy it too! This session, and many others are also available to download, for FREE from the downloads page of my website.

Almost everyone, at some point, runs into challenges, obstacles, or problems in their family, work, or intimate personal relationships - that at their root, involve issues around boundaries. Today’s session will provide you with the framework you need to be ready to start clarifying, expressing, and maintaining healthy boundaries! This preparation session will give you the framework to go forward with the active Trancework session, called “Healthy Boundaries” which I’ll be posting on the podcast later this week.

In today’s episode, I’ll be sharing an active Trancework session will attune your subconscious mind to easily discern what is within your sphere of control, and what is not in your control; and to more effectively enjoy your life by making new choices, and creating new possibilities. Today’s episode is paired with the previous episode – which is a preparation session called “A question of Control”, so I’d recommend that if you haven’t already, you might want to start there so that this session is as impactful as it is intended to be.

Today I’ll be sharing the preparation session for the next installment of the Thought Process Trancework Series which I’ve called “A Question of Control”, in which you’ll learn about how subconscious patterns that begin as natural survival responses become rigid, and overly-general rules that begin to be universally applied in our daily experiences, and can cause our lives to become increasingly smaller, and more anxious. I’m going to offer some understanding about two simple but serious errors that we can make in our thought processes that lead us to feel increasingly out of control, and gain insight into a new approach through which you can transform your thinking, behaviour, and as a result - your life - in incredible, and much more enjoyable ways!

Today’s episode is an active Trancework session called “Choosing the Change”. Most people become aware when they are repeatedly doing something ineffective, or things that are creating misery or suffering in their lives. They might even plan to do something different next time... but when the next time comes... it’s like they just slip into the old ruts, and do the same old thing... and they get the same old results! In this Trancework Session, I use various techniques to offer your subconscious mind some new possibilities and perspectives that will open the doors to perceiving, and choosing to create new opportunities to move forward in your life in new, and different ways.
