02.01.2020, DAY TWO: EXPERIENCE Experiencing Diversity Through our Different Senses and Intelligences

​

1. Inviting the Experience of Radiant Diversity: Sitting in a quiet and restful space, invite in an honoring way, the experience of Radiant Diversity to reveal itself to you. Spend some time experiencing yourself and your surroundings through your different physical senses. What is your experience as you allow each of the different senses to become the primary portal for your experience? Begin to sense into how they work together with other, more hidden intelligences, to provide the wholeness of your experience in the now.

2. Radiant Diversity within: Sense into the inner world of your body-mind. Notice the inner sensations moving through you at any given moment. What is calling your attention? Notice the workings of your mind as you move between the more rational, emotional, imaginative, intuitive and other portals of meaning making. Sense into how all these diverse portals work together to enrich your experience of life and inform you about your inner state of being. Notice what happens as you more consciously activate these portals and acknowledge them for the essential and life-enriching information they offer.

3. Radiant Diversity without:  Sense into your environment. What diversity calls your attention? What are the different forms and colors and movements and sounds that draw your attention? As you attend to the world of differences around you how does this shift your relationship your environment. What is pleasurable and nourishing to you? What is less pleasurable? 

4. The Nature of Radiant Diversity and the Diversity of Radiant Nature: Find a place in nature or imagine that you are in a familiar natural environment, what is your sense of Radiant Diversity. How does it reveal itself to you? What is it showing you?

5.  Portals of Experience: As you go about your day, pay attention to the different kinds of differences you notice - what draws your attention? What are your primary portals for experiencing these differences? Which physical senses are more active? Which mental and emotional portals are more active? Are you more focused on the diversity among humans, and if so which differences call your attention? Are you more focused on the diversity of your natural environment? What aspects of the diversity in your natural environment call your attention? As you become more aware of the more active portals of experience, you may want to consciously explore engaging with diversity through the senses and intelligences that are less familiar to you. How does this shift your perspective and experience of yourself and of the world around you?

6. The Offering: How would you like to honor the diverse senses and intelligences that enable this rich encounter with the world around you? Perhaps you would like to express your gratitude through a daily practice, an artistic expression, a blessing or any other form of appreciation?

7. The Intention: How has this encounter transformed you, and what wish and intention has come forth within you from this reflective experience?

8. Sensing your Vitality Code - Nature’s code for ever-evolving harmony in diversity and empathy with all of Life.
