WELCOME
My name is Derek Sheahan and I'm glad you're here.
I Have trained in many forms of psychotherapy and i’m a facilitator of transformation with over 20 years of experience IN helping those who truly want to wake up and embody a new way of life. IF YOU ARE FEELING STUCK IN YOUR LIFE BUT LONG TO GO DEEPER AND FEEL TRULY READY TO MAKE A COMMITMENT TO YOUR OWN JOURNEY OF AWAKENING AND HEALING, I CAN HELP YOU.
THESE INTRODUCTORY MEDITATIONS ARE part of the Lenses That Liberate Model. The Lenses That Liberate is an
integrative system for embodied awakening and profound healing and transformation.
(You can learn more about the model and THE different LENSES here.)
MEDITATION 1 | RELEASING
IN THIS FIRST PRACTICE, WE LEARN TO RELEASE THE TENSION OF THE BODY DOWNWARDS INTO THE EARTH THROUGH THE PROCESS OF GENTLE SHAKING. THIS IS USUALLY THE FIRST FORM OF PRACTICE WE DO BEFORE ANY SITTING MEDITATION SO THAT WE CAN ARRIVE IN THE BODY IN A NATURAL STATE OF REST.
YOU CAN READ MORE ABOUT THE RELEASING PRACTICE HERE.
MEDITATION 2 | RESTING
THE SECOND PRACTICE OF RESTING BUILDS ON THE RELEASING PRACTICE WE HAVE ALREADY DONE. It is best that you START WITH THE Standing RELEASING PRactice from the first meditation AND then we will ADD A SIMPLE FORM OF VISUALIZATION TO HELP US ARRIVE IN THE BODY IN AN GENTLE AND RESTFUL WAY.
MEDITATION 3 | RECEIVING
ONCE WE HAVE DEVELOPED OUR ABILITY TO RELEASE TENSION FROM THE BODY AND FIND REST, WE ARE READY FOR THE THIRD PHASE OF PRACTICE. WE ARE now RESTED ENOUGH TO RECEIVE THE GOODNESS THAT IS always available to us.
IN THIS INTRODUCTORY RECEIVING PRACTICE, WE WORK WITH THE ENERGY OF THE EARTH, LEARNING TO SOFTEN OUR BODY ENOUGH SO THAT WE CAN RESTORE THIS NATURAL REJUVENATING CONNECTION AND DEEPEN OUR SENSE OF EASE AND REST THROUGH THE RECEIVING PROCESS.
THESE PRACTICES Form THE BEGINNING OF THE LENSES THAT LIBERATE EMBODIMENT PROGRAM
AND SERVE AS THE FOUNDATION FOR BRINGING OURSELVES BACK INTO A SPACE OF REST AND EASE IN OUR LIVES.
ONCE WE HAVE DEVELOPED THESE CAPACITIES, WE ARE READY TO DELVE Much DEEper.
JOIN ME FOR THIS 12 WEEK JOURNEY OF EMBODIED HEALING AND AWAKENING.
