Universal Connection

You may be familiar with the notion that "everything is connected", but this can be challenging to grasp practically in ways that impact your life. Utilize this course to gain a felt sense experience of this life-altering sensation of connection. We will identify and utilize what I call "The Ally" to drop through the layers of our separate selves and connect with something more basic, timeless, and universal. This practice will facilitate an entirely new experience of things like anxiety, frustration, anger, and other negative emotions. I look forward to being with you inside the course.

Leçon 1: Your Pair Of Glasses

Become aware of your personal "pair of glasses," the story of who you are as a separate self, and experiment with seeing through them clearly - into a direct seeing of Just This.

Leçon 2: The Ally

Let's begin to develop a relationship with our own personal "Ally" to help us see through our particular pair of glasses into a connection with something much deeper, something beyond the separate self.

Leçon 3: Passive Effort

We'll become more familiar with our personal Ally and explore the ways in which our separate self identity might be fighting against a deeper version of ourselves.

Leçon 4: Habit Energy

Let's explore why it can be so difficult to simply be here and now, and keep coming back to the Ally. Imagine yourself like flower inching directly toward the sun, and let's settle in.

Leçon 5: Zeroing The Scale

Let's explore a metaphor for the way we can continually see what is new in our experience as truly new. And then, we'll utilize the Ally for help with putting this into practice.

Leçon 6: Tree & Leaf

Through the example of nature, we will continue noticing our identity with a separate self and then reset into a felt connection with Everything. This feeling will continue to shed new light on the problems of the self, leading the problems themselves to change.

Leçon 7: A Quiet Mind

Let's consider how simple yet easy this practice really is. With continued awareness of our habit energy, we can return to this simplicity in order to see all of This that is happening right now and feel our connection with It.

Leçon 8: Infinity

Consider the connection between zero and infinity and explore how the notion of love relates to these concepts. If we drill down far enough, we might hit a source of powerful and unending love. Let's try.

Leçon 9: That Which Is Aware

Let's feel into awareness itself. That which is aware of "negative" experience (e.g. anxiety) is the exact same as that which is aware of "positive" experience. How does this basic awareness feel? And how might it unlock a new perspective on the problems of the separate self?

Leçon 10: Forget Everything & Remember

In our final session, we will begin again and see what is new as truly new, one more time together. We remember that thing that's always been there - remember before the glasses - and be as open as you can to this moment. We will simply sit in this raw and pure space together, in silence, with nothing to do but just be here and notice what its like and allow our current experience to be exactly what it is.

Your delivery and words are like magic, you feel like a good friend sitting in the room with me. I will download and revisit this course again and again....I am so deeply grateful to you ❤️

Thank you for creating this course and reminding us that we're never alone. We always have an ally. I especially appreciated the personal stories that you shared as well.

Wow, Wow, Wow.. Sooooo good, so Yummy 😋 😍 😊 ☺️ 😜 😄 😋 😍 😊 ☺️
THANK YOU 🙏🙏🙏

Thank you for this course & for introducing me to the concept of connecting with an ally in meditation. I did this course in conjunction with the 111 step zen practice & found it to be quite helpful❣️

I love the teaching and meditations in this course. I’ve listened to every offering posted by Charles and would listen to him every day if I could!

Very deep and interesting course. I really liked concepts of our own pair of glasses and the ally. The quotes were also well thought and supported the content of the course well. I especially liked the idea that there is a connection between all of us. Our balls of energy mingling all the time. Warm thank you Charles for sharing your wisdom and spreading your light to us. All the best and lots of love to your life.

The Game is only to be played in the right here and the right now. Good work. Full appreciation!

Very helpful and meaningful course ! Thank you very much 😊 ! I bought the book to continue discovery what is already known as brand new 😉

Simple, yet highly enlightening. Very well, and calmly, presented. Charles' guidance, recommendations and insight are easy to follow...I will keep practicing... again...and again...and again.

Inspiring course, and I’ll stay with the quote “ the meaning of life, is to see”. Thanks Charles for your calming and affirming presence.

Beautifully put together. It helped me access then & there purpose and let it go with intention. It felt fresh and also renewing to do this organically in 10 days. Thank you again, Charles. Sending the feeling of a hug back to you 💛

I enjoyed the consistent practice of coming back to the Ally. Like a Captain holding the wheel on a ship, it's now a regular part of my awareness as I sail through daily life. I also appreciate all of the quotes and personal experiences Chales shared. They added an extra depth to the whole experience.

Such a worthy course…filled with quotes, metaphors, stories all as a way to draw into the nowness (my word) of the moment. Charles does a beautiful job of inviting into the practice and the settling into here and now. So much grace.

Thank you Charles for your grace and wisdom. This course was so very meaningful for me. I have become good friends with my Ally and say hello to her often throughout the day… helping me to slow down and recognize my habit energy (business!!!!!).

You words and personal sharing make your courses so relatable. You truly have a gift and I share your work with both my yoga students and clients!

Namaste,
Michele (LMFT)

Charles always delivers such amazing quality and depth in his teachings. I always deepen my practice and learn more about myself and the energy around me. Learning about habit energy created a space for me to be more malleable in my life and take action to move me forward to a more Enlightened space.

Charles always delivers an experience worthy of your time and beneficial to your life and the lives of those around you.

Another really great course thank you Charles! I really appreciate the time, effort and thoughtfulness you have put into creating these courses. One small comment is that on the last session there was some type of a humming or vibration in the background which was a bit distracting for me. Thanks again!

Another great course from Charles to help guide one toward the ultimate.

This was a wonderful course. I love the practice and Charles' soothing voice. Thank you ❤️🙏
