Core Empowerment Training

Recently, a friend of mine sent me the attached slide presentation. I was very moved by its message and breathtaking scenery and am sending it out with this announcement of the forthcoming Core Empowerment Training (CET)  March 24th  – 28th in Cabo de Rama, Goa . To read my accompanying letter beforehand would spoil the surprise in the film, so I suggest you allot yourself five minutes now and skip right to the attached slide presentation before reading on……….

As you can see after watching the eagle’s brave progress through a challenging metamorphosis, it illustrates poignantly how sometimes for survival’s sake, we must literally pluck out the dross which has been hindering our very life force. At the age of 40, burdened by an aged over hooked beak and worn out talons, the eagle must make one of two possible decisions: It can either pluck them out and undergo a six month transformation and live thirty more years, or die.

Humans face a similar bind. We spend forty years building up an ego structure; a mental matrix, to navigate the perils of samsara, our very own self-created world. Like the eagle which as a third step, must additionally pluck out all of its feathers to survive, as humans it behooves us to purge the burden of long accumulated and now unnecessary mental protective shields in order to experience the freedom that we are.

The Earth as a whole which is in the midst of Kali Yuga, (the most challenging of the four cycles of time) faces a similar dilemma. The greatest gift we can give ourselves, which is then automatically felt and transferred to those around us, is to pluck out the mental shackles which bind us. You do not have to wait until forty to do this. If you have passed forty, it is more of a challenge, but it is still possible.

If due to a busy schedule, you skipped the presentation, it is worth taking five minutes to view the breathtaking transformation of the eagle. Like the Yogi or Yogini who performs Tapas (spiritual practice) to feel and bring into conscious awareness the conditioned habits which have kept us asleep for lifetimes, you too have the capacity to shed the hidden masks of the ego and fly free.

From March 24th – 28th in Cabo de Rama, Goa you will have the opportunity once again to relieve yourself of a large number of vasanas and samskaras (old conditioned patterns).  Like the eagle, only you can choose to cast off your burdens; no outside Guru can do this for you.

If you have attended Core Empowerment Training before, you have in effect taken out your beak, you have become conscious of mental and emotional reflexes which once ruled your life.. You may now be ready for the next step, which is to pluck out the talons, the final excuses which hold you back, so that you can ultimately receive your full measure. Like the woman who wrote the bestseller The Secret, it may be time for you to further reign in your thoughts and recreate your life…..and surprisingly, even drop the need to recreate it.

As humans, we have the potential to let go of the past and live a true present.  Unlike the eagle however, we are not programmed to do so by ourselves. Conditioned by a culture of dependency, when the heart call comes to wake up, we fare better with help from those who have taken similar steps beforehand.

Having been graced by Shri H. W. L. Poonja’s direct guidance with Vichar, (Poonjaji was one of Shri Bhagavan Ramana Maharshi’s closest disciples), and further guidance within the Vajrayana Tradition, it has given me great satisfaction over the years, to share Core Empowerment Training with those who experience a similar inner calling.



A five day Jnana Yoga retreat which helps transform lifetimes of mental dross, The Core Empowerment Training helps us learn to navigate consciously through the ego’s mental tug of war between desire and resistance and experience the peace which is between each thought.  CET is not about learning anything new or a lot of techniques to make us better. It is about peeling away the veils which obscure our natural clarity and allowing the existence, consciousness, bliss that we are, to shine through.

If you wish to experience life once again with the exuberance of a child and the grounded wisdom of a contented heart, you may feel called to join us.
