AWAKENING – to what you truly are is not really an option. All are called, few choose to answer. But the path must be tread by all sentient being eventually.

HEALING – is to make whole. To be wholesome is our inheritance. Also healing is to remove the past and restore the Presence.

EMPOWERING  – in Infinite Arts there are 7 levels of transformation and expansion:

1. Balanced Health
2. Vitality
3. Chi Abundance
4. Radiance
5. Love Energy
6. Light
7. Divinity

DYNAMIC SURRENDERING – you have to reach to the higher level before surrendering the lower level. It can be bright, miraculous and transformative.

The workshop will be interactive, informative, open hearted and inspiring.

This year seems to be, yet again, a year full of endless crises: the coronavirus crisis, the climate crisis, the energy crisis, etc.  Unfortunately, our world leaders do not seem to be handling any of the many serious problems that the human race is currently facing with any degree of wisdom or grace. Listening to the nightly news, we are bombarded by politicians and pundits blaming one another for making a mess of everything, but no one seems to be really focusing on finding lasting solutions to the issues facing us. 

Unawakened individuals may well blame the world outside of them for all their lack and pain. They do not want to save the world, preferring to remain victims of the world as they perceive it, and take no responsibility for their own lives or the well-being of others. 

The good news is that all is by no means lost. I am convinced that there is a way for humanity to survive and thrive in the long run. All the world needs is for more and more of us to commit to following a path of awakening and deep self-healing so that we can eventually become wise, light-infused spiritual leaders in our particular fields of endeavour.

The more you keep connecting to the light, the more you become a spiritually-infused personality linked to a universal higher purpose. Your physical body and personality can then become tools for a higher wisdom to use down here on earth. When we are strongly connected to the light and have healed at least some of our own darkness, we automatically bless the world around us. This is the universal purpose or ‘the light in action.’ Sadly, we do not yet have many advanced spiritual leaders like this in our troubled world. But if you are reading this message, it may well be your soul’s purpose to train yourself to become one.

Once we connect to the light, we cannot just sit around blissing ourselves out in it. What on earth is the point of that? How selfish! We might as well sit around all day getting high on drugs. We do not just connect to the light for our own benefit. We train ourselves to use the spiritual light for very practical purposes and for the benefit of humanity.  Those of us who are connected in any way to my Infinite Arts are practising ‘practical spirituality’ not pie in the sky spirituality. We vow to create a bridge between heaven and earth so that we can reduce the gap between heaven and hell or love and fear on behalf of the whole of humankind. 

The light holds a universal purpose that we all share. The personality-self knows nothing of this, but our soul knows, and at the core of our being, we long to play our unique part in fulfilling this universal purpose. But please note that advanced souls do not incarnate into a physical body to save other physical bodies. All bodies die sooner or later. They come down to earth to save souls through spiritual leadership and miraculous healing work. A Course in Miracles, for example talks about its students becoming ‘miracle minded’. 

Before you can become a ‘miracle minded’ spiritual leader, you first have to take full responsibility for your physical health, your mental attitude, your stormy emotions and the state of your bank account. You have to be courageous and honest with yourself. Look within to see your weaknesses and stored grievances and then commit to transcending them one by one. If you notice that you are physically lazy, for example, you could commit to a holistic exercise programme and follow it daily, whether you feel in the mood to exercise or not! You cannot just be kind and loving to be of real help in this world. You also need to become strong and radiant to cut through the fear and darkness of collective human consciousness.

If you truly want to become a radiant leader in order to make a real difference in this world, you should practise cultivating a radiant presence and alignment over and over again, until it comes totally naturally to you, even in challenging circumstances.

As your vibration gradually rises, you will reach a level of awareness or awakening at which you naturally want to make a difference. You will no longer be weak, neurotic or self-centred. You will have raised your consciousness high enough to connect to that universal purpose. This is the point at which you start to cultivate all the qualities and strengths of a true spiritual leader. You long to be more successful in your chosen art or field of endeavour, not for your own benefit, but for that of others.

As we continue to raise our vibration higher and higher through meditation and other energy practices such as Tai Chi and Chi Kung, we can eventually experience the light directly. We can touch the beauty of life itself, and this beauty will confirm to us that our true self is pure, wholly innocent and good. We not only contact the spiritual light, we also feel our own innate beauty and primordial goodness. Then we will simply long to selflessly share our miraculous discovery with others.

What I call ‘radiant empowerment’ enables individuals to reach the ‘mountain top’ of human consciousness. At this high level of awareness, we can also connect to true love and beauty. So far, only a very small percentage of human beings have reached this level of consciousness. But I am now determined to show more and more people how to get to the very top of the mountain. I really want to show people how they can transcend all their worldly problems. I want to teach them how to move gently, and breathe consciously, so that they can cultivate chi, and later the light, until their consciousness expands enough to be  illuminated by pure light and love.

This divine illumination is miraculous. This light can shine away all our inner darkness. All we have to do is to keep raising our vibration up to the level of unconditional love and light and then stay in this extraordinarily high energy field until our whole being is totally illuminated. Now we can know true success in life, and whatever human endeavour we selflessly pursue, the light will go with us to guide and protect us through all worldly challenges. 

Our radiant presence will naturally illuminate all those who meet us, giving support and inspiration, for most individuals are not yet active participants on their evolutionary, healing journey. The great task of 21st century spiritual leaders is to share this light with all those who do not yet have the strength to climb up the mountain under their own steam. 

Spiritual leaders always go within, first and foremost, and then they act in the world from their illumined inner self, or presence. Most human beings are always looking outwards, and thus become totally caught up in the endless dramas of the world around them. They are like autumn leaves being blown hither and thither by a wind that is completely beyond their control. Spiritual leaders on the other hand become the masters of life on earth, not its slaves. 

A spiritual leader looks like a normal, but highly successful and inspiring human being, and above all a strong, pure vehicle for the light to perform miracles. Ultimately, spiritual leaders become totally merged into ‘the light in action’ and wherever they go, or whatever they do, everyone benefits immeasurably from their radiant presence. What a miraculous goal to keep in our minds and hearts !

December 2021

By Jason Chan

Are you happy with the way your life is going? The way you live your life today are the seeds you plant for your future. Your present life is the manifestation of your past actions

Are you aware of what you thought, felt, and all the effort you put in to your life, from the time you were born until you reached 30 years of age? Because it very much contributed to your beingness in the present life. If you see that as your past life, then you can see the age of 30 to 60 as being your present life. We are really fortunate that we were not born at the time of the First or Second World War, or into a war-torn country. So most of us are stuck between work, career, earning money, dating and possibly family making. Now see your life from 60 onwards to 80 or 100 as your future life.

THREE LIVES NOT ONE

Conscious spiritual awakening means you know you are more than just the physical. Your body, mind and all the systems surrounding you, is your present lifetime. The question is whether you’re aware of what you did in your early life that has contributed to the present, and in this present life, the sort of seeds you are planting now that will create your future life until you pass away? Suddenly it doesn’t make sense to live life just in the here and now. I understand that a lot of spiritual teaching is to be in the present moment. But the present moment does includes your past, your present and your future.

You may say, “How come my life includes my future ? It is not happening yet!”  I call it the future now. The more conscious you are, the more you become aware that consciousness includes the past,  present and future. Of course everyone wants happiness, success and to fulfil their lives but most don’t know how their future will unfold. The secret is in the present moment, this lifetime. 

LOVE & PENSIONS

On the worldly level,  have you already saved some money for your pension before reaching 30 years of age? Have you established the skills necessary to earn a good living? Have you been a very generous person, helping others, enabling you to become quite present and harmonious in this present life?. A lot of people don’t think like this, but I urge you to think like this.

How much money you have in your pension fund very depends on how much you have put in before today, in just the same way as your future life depends on what you are putting in to your life today.

And on the spiritual level, how much love are you putting into this present life of yours? My advice is to experience love every day- through friendship, a pet, romantic love, family love, or devotion to your chosen deity. It makes you feel amazingly well and you experience a sense of sweetness which is much more than happiness-  you feel alive. That is very important. Not only that, you are not at fear, that means no worry, no anxiety, no sense of loneliness. Love is an extreme sense of well being.

Going back to the pension fund, if you haven’t enough  in your pension fund by the age of 59 it’s too late actually. With an adequate pension, that means an income that can support you, you don’t have to work anymore, if you don’t want to. For me, that’s  financial freedom. I love it. Do you see what’s it got to do with love?  Love gives a sense of security and well being,  as does a pension fund, definitely. Perhaps you’re in love, but you’ve got no money and you feel insecure; I don’t think you’re in love.

So invest your energy into your future by experiencing a sense of well-being here and now. I recommend every day, for 10 minutes to start with. That 10 minutes is the seed you’re planting for your next life. Cultivate a feeling of love that enables you to feel safe, balanced and alive, so sweet inside, where there’s no such thing as loneliness. Feeling this way, it’s impossible to get get angry. Life becomes fantastic.

AWAKENING TO CREATE

My early life was a disaster and did not really improve until I spiritually awakened and experienced those qualities, that extreme sense of well-being.  I’d already been doing meditation for a long time before I realised the secret is in the mind. Until awakening, most people aren’t aware of the power the subconscious mind exerts on thinking or that it is rooted in their past. Most people can not really live their life because they are always living in the past. If you can’t clear your mind, or consciously rise above it, you will always live in the past. Everything your mind thinks of, compares with, is rooted the past.

Awakening, you become aware of negative thoughts and memories that have become the filter through which you view your life, and can begin to release them. Liberated from the past, every moment becomes fresh and filled with possibility.

You can see why awakening will save humanity. The awakening human race will be able to release and transcend anger, loneliness, jealousy, sorrow, sadness, pain. To become conscious, release the past. In A Course In Miracles  we call this forgiveness. Easy to say but so hard to do. It is the inner work of letting go, non-attachment, setting people free.  But first, free yourself.

PLANTING GOOD SEEDS

In order to reach the sensation of well-being in your entire ecosystem, first the mind has to be clear. You cannot think about this and that, or have suspicions about someone and still expect to feel in love. Secondly, the energy channels in your body have to to be open to enable the life-force to go through. We utilise our Infinite Arts of Tai Chi, Chi Kung and Chi Yoga to align and open the meridians. In this moment, release the negative past, harmful past and painful past as much as you know how. You’ll start to genuinely like yourself, which is a promising start, because if you do not like yourself, nobody else can.

When the mind is clear, and your energy vibrant and alive, who would not like you? Who would not want to be your friend? Everybody would want to be your friend because they feel at ease to be with you. And then they like to be in your aura. Just thinking about you, they feel happiness. You have become an attractive individual. As your energy vibration becomes clearer and brighter, you attract people, events, circumstances of the same vibration. Understand that everything is an energy display, including your relationships. 

Beyond the radiant chi there’s a subtle life force called love energy that you can reach when your body is open, soft and graceful. |In this here and now you establish your future. Do some rehearsal in your meditation and in your Infinite Tai Chi. If you want to be rich, be generous to share, if you want friendship, share good friendship. If you want love, first share love. It is a universal principle. You plant the seeds and watch them grow. As a young man I was jealous of others’ success. Now, I admire it, and I help other people become successful.

MEDITATION AS A CREATIVE FORCE

I make sure I meditate every day because in my meditation, I transform my life. That means I release the past, invest in the present moment, and then transform the future. I do not bring my past into the future. Especially not poverty, sickness, jealousy, anger. That’s my discipline.

You start to understand what love is- not that someone loves you, rather, you love someone. Don’t rely on others to love you. They want a part of you usually and love will not last long unless they awake into loving people themselves, when it naturally extends through them.

When love becomes your reality, your future changes. When love energy permeates your life-force you can go deeper, where it is easier to release the past.  You’ll live all three lives simultaneously. Release the past, free the present and extend to the future now. It will show you the way to transform your life. Do this every day. Today you’re creating tomorrow my dear.  It needs consistency though, so every day you do some, coming back to it again and again.  Your capacity will increase. You create not with your thinking mind, you’re creating all three lives with your beautiful presence. Yesterday creating your today, today creating tomorrow. 

Learn and embody something which  can transform your life (which for me is the Infinite Arts). Plant beautiful seeds in your mind energy, and extend it to touch others. Give, share, release, let go of pain, suffering, and share goodness. Stay here all the time, and then extend this to your future. Your stillness in meditation is so important because you’re creating a life which is no less than the extension of love itself. Listen to this impulse, it will always show you the way.

A Precious Birth is the opportunity to Awake.

Today, we have so much spiritual information at our fingertips, but we still need to cultivate skilful means to lead us to direct experience of the truth.

Yet very few individuals can do this. First of all, to have any chance of searching for the truth, you need good karma to have a ‘precious birth’ giving the freedom and resources to pursue a spiritual life. You need a relatively strong and healthy body to  tread the awakening path, so healthy DNA and access to clean water and nutritious food is essential. You are also born into a particular culture with its own set of customs and beliefs. These factors play a part in whether you will have an opportunity to awake this lifetime.

When your body is strong and healthy, you will naturally feel more alive and more enthusiastic about life. Some individuals tend to ignore their body because they do not feel comfortable living in this heavy, physical world and they withdraw into a fantasy world inside their head. Other individuals spend all of their limited energy pursuing material wealth and physical pleasure.

If you were living in a war-torn country, you would be far too preoccupied and stressed out to follow any kind of spiritual path to the truth. So where you are born is such an important factor in your awakening journey. But even then, you still have to answer the call to awake this lifetime, and many will ignore this call, whilst others put off becoming a genuine spiritual seeker until far too late in life.

Once you take the decision to tread on a spiritual path, you will spend a lot of time and effort building strong foundations for further awakening. Certain skills and gifts are very helpful at this stage, such as a mature intellect for understanding  basic spiritual principles, the ability to read spiritual texts and reflect on them with an open, curious mind, and the receptivity to assimilate deep wisdom. At the same time, keep experimenting so that you can have direct experience of the truth. To do all of this, you have to sharpen your body and mind and establish a regular mediation practice. 

With the clear and spacious consciousness that comes from meditation, you may gain a glimpse of that fearless state of awareness, because when the mind does not move at all, it does not create a single fearful thought. Once you attain such a high vibrational level, you can really feel the Peace of God for a while. This state of being is an essential element to experiencing an out-of-this-world light or love energy pouring down on you.

CULTIVATING INNER RADIANCE AND STRENGTH

As you awake, you may go through a phase of feeling extremely vulnerable and overwhelmed by all the suffering in this world, so do empower yourself to become strong and stable in the light. Cultivate inner radiance to support your further awakening through holistic exercise. This will create a radiant body and a bright, strong personality for yourself.

The first level of spiritual empowerment is to be able to hold radiant chi in every cell of your being. Chi holds all the elements – earth, water, fire, air, spaciousness – within it and holding chi clears your mind as well as strengthening your body. 

As you cultivate this radiant chi and open up to its natural flow within you, you will feel much more spacious and alive. Strengthening your three lower energy centres will keep you well-grounded while your energy starts to spiral up towards the Light. If you root into the earth as you reach up to heaven, you will eventually be able to go much higher into the light, and free your personality-self from all kinds of limitations.

To love truly and selflessly you have to be strong and radiant, otherwise, being compassionate may actually weaken you, particularly if you perform any kind of energy healing. So please always ensure that you support your compassionate intentions with strong, radiant energy.

Advanced Infinite Tai Chi practitioners touch the essence of life with every move that they make whilst performing their art. They are able to still their mind and open their heart, and can move with the presence of Love energy. When you have experienced Love energy flowing all around you and through you over and over again, you will know that pure love is both within you and within every aspect of the whole universe. 

As you continue to awake, tremendous amounts of a powerful life-force will pour into your brain, and if you are not well prepared, this life force can affect your nervous system. The more you open your mind and heart, the more sensitive and vulnerable you may feel and so you need to be really well grounded to keep climbing the path to the top of the mountain. It is wise to maintain a daily energy practice such as Infinite Tai Chi and Chi Kung to top up with radiant energy or you may not function well at all in this troubled world. 

MANY PATHS ONE TRUTH

Christian mystics have traditionally focused on Christ as a meditative object and Buddhist mystics do exactly the same type of practices – they just use different images. The core idea is to connect to the essence of a deity or ascended spiritual master in order to receive empowerment from them and to cultivate their core qualities such as wisdom and compassion. 

Resonance with a particular deity or spiritual master such as Buddha or Jesus is so important because it really assists practitioners to raise their own consciousness higher so that they can be lifted up way beyond any expansion of awareness that they might attain just using their own will power and strength. Visualising a particular deity and then absorbing their enlightened energy thus assists practitioners to unfold speedily. 

The quick path to enlightenment is definitely not for the half-hearted or under-prepared spiritual seeker. It takes great intelligence, strength and courage to keep going on this challenging path to the ‘top of the mountain’. So if you are not already well prepared, I suggest you keep treading on a gentler path to the truth, because we are all going to get there in the end. 

As A Course in Miracles points out, free will does not mean that we can choose the awakening curriculum. All genuine spiritual paths point to the same truths and so at heart all spiritual practitioners are following the same curriculum. The only real choice we have is how much and how quickly we want to advance on the path at any given time or in any one lifetime. 

If you are reading this, I am assuming you are on some sort of spiritual journey, and so must have had a precious birth. Treasure this opportunity, and don’t waste it.

Eternal blessings,

Jason

JASON’S APRIL MESSAGE

At heart, the spiritual journey is one in which you go on a search to rediscover your true identity. Human beings have totally forgotten who they are at their core, and they will never remember their true identity until they begin to awake and to have direct experiences in which their true-self is revealed to them. Unfortunately, you cannot gain this essential knowledge simply by reading spiritual books or attending spiritual workshops. Only direct experience of the truth will change your mind about your identity.

Some individuals have grown up believing in Jesus Christ or Buddha without really thinking about what that means. They have just been programmed with certain beliefs and preferences. But a direct knowing of the energy (or essence) of Christ or Buddha is completely different to believing in them.

Many years ago, I realised that we cannot love truly if we do not know who we are or why we are here. We identify with a false self we can not love, and which does not know how to love one another. So we never feel fully satisfied with life or completely fulfilled.

On one Italian retreat, I remember telling participants that even when everything in their lives was fine, they might still feel mildly anxious, irritated or depressed because of a deep sense of being not good enough in some way and an existential feeling of a lack of love. The only way to remedy this is to follow a genuine spiritual path that leads to the ultimate truth about your true nature.

We are so blessed to have so many genuine spiritual teachings now widely available to us, but there is now a danger that certain core spiritual concepts will become over-used and then diluted or even distorted. We can so overuse spiritual terms such as ‘love’ and ‘forgiveness’ that they become ordinary, rather than extraordinary.

Words are important, but they can also be obstacle on the path because we tend to misunderstand common words such as love or forgiveness. We all think that we know what love is based on our past experience of falling in love. But this type of special love is completely different from an infinite, universal love: an energy that permeates absolutely everything.

Forgiveness is a misused word in spiritual circles. Many spiritual practitioners will claim to have completely forgiven their parents for example, whilst clearly still holding onto a load of hurt and resentment from their childhood – a type of forgiveness that A Course In Miracles shockingly labels ‘forgiveness to destroy.’ 

True forgiveness involves releasing all the darkness of our stored hurt and resentment from our mind, heart and body until there is no hurt left in us. Only then can we truly forgive those whom we have blamed for our past pain. Unfortunately, most of humanity still does not know how to heal their stored pain and darkness by releasing it into the healing energy of pure unconditional love, and so forgiveness remains a totally misunderstood process in our world.

Removing Your Blocks to Knowing the Truth

Beginners on the path have no idea about the higher mind or the Holy Spirit’s Mind. This is actually our natural mind but we will never know this, unless we keep unfolding into it step by step. At our core, we are all unconditionally kind, loving and compassionate. But again, we will never know this unless we consciously remove some of the blocks to the love that is the essence of our being – and this is usually a painful process!  You need to cry your eyes out many times on the path, and you may also need to scream your head off occasionally in order to release all your stored, emotional pain. But eventually, if you are strong, brave and persistent enough, you will notice that you are naturally becoming more loving and compassionate. You may also begin to touch your primordial innocence and purity that lies way beyond your programmed personality-self.

The spiritual journey is an upward path in which your consciousness soars ever higher. But you will need a clear, calm mind before your energy can spiral upwards without getting trapped in endless negative thinking that drags your consciousness down once again. The good news is that once your consciousness is high enough, you will notice that you can no longer harm another person. All normal human beings can be cruel to one another – even just with their hurtful words- but the more you awake and raise your consciousness, the more you will feel the pain in doing this.

Eventually, you will perceive a light within you. As you climb further and further up the path of awakening, you will also be able to look back and see how much progress you have made on your unique spiritual journey. You will begin to notice your natural compassion for all sentient beings. But you will also see your own shadow side and you may notice your mood shooting up and down quite dramatically for a while because you are no longer suppressing all of your anger and fear.

After the spiritual honeymoon, you have to release your shadow side. You connect more and more to the light and then release all of your stored inner darkness into that light until you become less self-centred and feel a genuine desire to help others. An awakened individual can no longer wish to destroy any other human being. They cannot even drop rubbish in the street! An awakened individual will rescue animals or forests without even thinking about whether it is the right thing to do. They will give and give quite naturally once they come to know their true, limitless self.

May I ask you a strange question-  What is happiness for you, and, Do you know how to be happy?

To answer these questions, think about where you put your energy every day.  I’ll give you some ideas to work on. Be conscious of how many hours you spend on self-maintenance, looking after your body. Do not underestimate the time spent to prepare and eat your meals, bathroom time, exercise. How much time on laundry and cleaning? Looking after children? Add in the time spent at work, travelling, entertainment, social media. This is where you are applying your energy and focus, so be aware of the type of energy you are using and whether it is joyful, fulfilling, inspiring. You see, the quality of the energy you are using permeates you. You know this already because if you spend an hour doom-scrolling through social media, you notice you feel rather gloomy afterwards, whereas if you spend that hour achieving a goal or task you set, you feel much brighter and motivated.

WHAT YOU FOCUS ON YOU BECOME

Your happiness is based on where you put your energy and time and to a greater or lesser degree you have a choice about that. So your happiness based on what?  I do recommend that you know.

Pursuing happiness is a kind of liberation: a passion, motivation, incentive. If you can bring this energy into your work and relationships, they will transform.

When you give away energy to activities you hate,  you will suffer. If your job causes you pain you will suffer, even if the money is good.

So do you know how to be happy- really? I’m not asking you to be spiritual, just be aware what makes you happy and put your energy and time there. Please don’t be unkind to yourself by doing something that brings unhappiness, anger, depression, day in and day out. Don’t waste your beautiful life, respect and honour it.

If your job makes you unhappy, you do have a choice – to accept it, change it, or walk away. You decide. 

RAISING THE ENERGY VIBRATION

When you can transform your energy into a higher frequency, your thoughts naturally become more positive. And because you feel much better, you effortlessly become more confident, more empowered. You start to make choices that lead towards joy. If you feel happy, those around you feel happy too.

Practices such as Infinite Tai Chi and Chi Kung will assist you to raise your vibration on a daily basis, promoting radiant well-being and vitality, and a calm mind.

INNER AND OUTER

How to be successful in this world? Not necessarily by working hard, but by connecting to a higher power and also to the power of conscious manifestation and creation. We can do this because deep down we know we are spirit. In meditation, we spend time to connect. If we can not connect we suffer.

This is how I live my life. For me, only God, the Tao, the Source, Life exists. Nothing else, not even this body,  personality and all of my mind set. For me, without God, I won’t be happy. You may feed me lobster in a 5-star Hotel, I won’t be happy. I will just say thank you. You may give me a long life and all the worldly trimmings and fortune and fame. I won’t be happy. Life makes me happy. So I ask you one more time- do you know how to be happy? Now, you understand it’s such a profound question.

LIFE LOVES YOU

Life is the catalyst for the soul to grow. When difficulties present themselves, you learn to see them differently and understand that life happens for you, not to you. Isn’t that a beautiful outlook by which to live your life?

DO NOT WASTE THIS TIME

Time is very precious. It is a consumable if you like, so that every day you lose a day and it will never come back. Be aware of what is it you put your efforts and energy into and how to utilise your time wisely, for happy fulfilment in your life. Don’t let the time slip through your fingers like water. Use time miraculously.

Most of us have some experience about what love is, and how good it makes us feel, but a complication comes in – human love has some limitations. When we fall in love, we can also experience pain or anxiety, and actually underlying that, we’re afraid of our trust being betrayed by our beloved. Sometimes we discover what we term love is actually our neediness and can be quite conditional.

Perfect love is the wholeness of life, and certainly exists. However, we may be looking for it in all the wrong places.

Let’s look at love on three levels: the human, the soul and the Divine.

HUMAN LOVE

We usually first experience this as children, from our parents, sometimes from our brothers and sisters. As we grow up we may experience love through friendship, and maybe romance and intimacy. From a transpersonal perspective, we may be touched by the sheer beauty of music, paintings, arts, pure nature like observing sunrise or sunset, a blooming flower,  stunning scenery. We can experience a sense of extreme well-being, freedom, peace and sometimes true aliveness as well.

For me, a  mother’s love is one of the greatest of all, selfless and unconditional. I find that mother’s love has a lots of self-sacrifice in it. Sleepless nights, worries about their beloved children and sharing joy if their children are healthy, happy and well.  It is one of Life’s wonders that human beings have this capacity to love one another so profoundly. It can actually touch you so deeply, and just talking about it can easily move me into tears. However I also witness something fascinating – that as beautiful, as powerful as is mother’s love, she cannot stop her alcoholic son or daughter from excessive drinking, drug taking, or engaging in self-destructive activities . The mother still loves him regardless. But that power of  unconditional love may not be sufficient to change the destructive behaviours and addictions of those we love. So there is some limitation to it.

Most of us do experience some romantic love in our lives. It  has an earth-shaking effect to start with, until disillusionment sets in, followed by disappointment. Sometimes we can end up disliking and even hating each other. Its limitations became quite obvious.  Even the beauty of a sunrise, sunset, the stunning scenery, and looking up to the stars at night with awe, which can trigger a deep resonance within our hearts, has no permanence in it. 

THE POWER OF SOUL LOVE 

Soul love is a true or higher level of love. More so than the mother’s unconditional love because it goes beyond personality and beyond the human mind. Once touched by this love, you can taste a sense of eternity.  Although soul love is very hard to describe, the one you share this love with you can remember for the rest of your life. Sometimes this love is so deep that when you experience it you actually feel some pain inside your heart. But if you can open your heart to release the blockages, you will find sheer beauty and grace, joy and compassion, freedom and peace. 

It is a love that can touch your heart, a love that can reveal your primordial innocence, a love that is able to reveal the purity that’s beyond the belief system in the mind, beyond your education, programming, culture; is simply pure love presence. Soul love is beyond time and space. For example, bring your beloved into your memory, and you will feel the warmth inside you. Time, age, circumstance, cannot change that.

Now you may start to get a glimpse of eternity and still it is based on two individuals’  joining with its essence, with their heart and quiet mind. Out of that starts a spiritual odyssey to return to boundless Love. This is guided by the heart wisdom and higher intelligence that we call intuition. The heart intelligence comes from love itself but it’s very deep. It is from your core being which connects with the Universe.

THE DIVINE LOVE 

The genuine mature spiritual journey for me starts from the point at which you can differentiate your consciousness from your mind, your essence and past experiences, wisdom and belief systems. To put simply, between truth and falsehood, permanence and impermanence, Self and ego.

Your heart starts to yearn for something eternal, something you may call home, something you may call God. That is the Divine romance emerging and that is the heart motivation: the devotion of a seeker, of a genuine spiritual disciple, of the awakening soul journeying on tirelessly toward the merging with Divine Love. It is the deepest and highest level of love humanity can attain, and usually requires a lot of preliminary foundational and transformative internal work before you have reached this level of yearning.  So there may be a lot of letting go, a lot of skilful practices applied, possibly including prolonged periods of  meditation, contemplation, studying and one-pointed  focus to pursue this connection to your Truth.

When you experience Divine Love you feel you are part of that wholesome existence, that Oneness, that Totality. It brings a tremendous sense of freedom, spaciousness, brightness, and extreme aliveness. This aliveness is not just about feeling vibrant or feeling physically alive, rather, it is being Life itself. The peace that permeates the whole universe, also permeates your whole being.

Literally you are it. You can only enter into this state of Being through here and now. This moment but not this second, not this nanosecond. It is rather through this nanosecond you expand into Infinity.

THE RHYTHM OF THE ONLINE RETREAT

The day will start at 10 am and end at 5pm . There will be a 90-minute lunch-break from 1.30pm (approx)

Jason will give an inspiring spiritual talk, followed by Chi Kung or Chi Yoga. This raises our energetic vibration so we are ready for powerful Infinite Meditation.

After lunch, we perform Infinite Tai Chi as a group and there may be another talk, or perhaps partner work in break-out rooms. Jason will follow the inspiration.

PRACTICALITIES

Choose a room or dedicated space for your retreat, preferably light-filled and uncluttered which will raise the room’s vibration. Flowers or plants will raise it further. Before the day commences, open the window to freshen the air for a short while. The room should feel fresh but warm.

Ensure there is enough space to place your yoga mat, for exercise and also for meditation. Your clothing layered and comfortable; a wrap for meditation. For Jason’s talks you may prefer to sit on a chair, so some re-arranging of your retreat space may be necessary during the day, to suit your requirements.

You will need a notebook and pen to write down your reflections, insights, and Jason’s teachings.

Do engage the co-operation of those you share a house with. Help them to understand the process and that you wish to be undisturbed!

Video on or off? It’s up to you really. It is nice to see everyone at the start of the day. After that, as you wish. Being constantly ‘visible’ can be tiring… I prefer to turn my video off for meditation and exercise. Others may keep video constantly ‘on’ and some prefer it constantly ‘off’. In any case you can experiment a bit. Notwithstanding all that, please keep your audio muted- unless Jason is inviting questions and comments. On the rare occasions when the internet signal is weak, it might be necessary to turn off video of all participants to preserve the audio and video quality of Jason.

ENERGY MANAGEMENT

A retreat led by Jason Chan will transmit powerful, bright energy. Less experienced practitioners may need to take a break, perhaps miss a session. If this is the case, please let the organiser know.

ZOOM Install it on your laptop or tablet and familiarise yourself with its navigation. Do check that your retreat space has a good wi-fi signal. You can check this with an app called SpeedTest. A strong internet connection will optimise the quality of the sound and vision you receive.

The Zoom codes to join each session will be sent the day before by email.

RECORDINGS

Jason’s sessions will be recorded, and a selection will be sent to you, and will be available for a period of time. Participants are not recorded.

COMMUNICATION

A private WhatsApp group will be set up for the duration of the retreat, to facilitate quick and direct communication.

Hope to meet you soon online!

JASON CHAN’S MONTHLY MESSAGE

I have just finished leading two online retreats where we all were graced by happiness in abundance. We were each in our own homes, alone in lockdown in the middle of the pandemic. We did our Infinite Arts practices of meditation, tai chi, yoga and chi kung to raise our vibration and to connect to an inner light-  the source of aliveness. We were bathed in amazing love, light and grace- which happened also to be the theme of the retreats.

As you already know, or may have suspected, the source of true happiness lies within us all, and is not dependent on ‘good’ things happening to us. However, you can cultivate the right habits and conditions that allow happiness to flow.

WELCOME THE DAY

Cultivate an inner smile as your constant companion. When you wake, the first person you may see is your reflection in the bathroom mirror. It might give you a bit of a shock if your face is all screwed up and miserable. It is saying I don’t want to wake up and face the world. I want to go back to sleep. I guess we’ve all been there.

To begin with, make a real effort to embrace life with a warm smile, until it comes naturally and you can genuinely welcome the day.

So smile! I learned that when being filmed for a tai chi video. They were early morning shoots. The photographer would be always smiling even at 6 o’clock in the morning and I noticed it made me smile too. I realised is a gift to others, so I started the practice too.

THE HAPPY RELATIONSHIP

If you are in a relationship with someone, it is much better to make it a happy one, even though there will be difficulties in any relationship. See each challenge as something to learn from, and be a ‘Happy Learner’  as A Course in Miracles describes.

Cultivate a good relationship with yourself. These days in lockdown, if you don’t like yourself, it’s best not to live with anybody, for if you can’t stand yourself, or being by yourself, probably the other person can’t stand you either!

A lot of people go into a relationship based on human need, like an escape from loneliness, a desire for security, wanting to be loved to heal our unworthiness, or to get happiness from another person. This doesn’t work over time. Start always with yourself, learning to like yourself (and changing the parts you do not like so much); look after and respect yourself, and pursue a life with meaning and purpose. You will notice that you do not need another person to fulfil your life, or make you happy. Yet you will attract into your life people possessing those same qualities as you now have.

If you have a loyal and genuine friend, you trust them. If you have a friend whose shoulder you can cry on, they will not judge you. If you need their help, they are there to comfort you. If you need their courage, they will support you all the way. If you want to confide in your friend, they will understand you and will not tell others what you told them.

Who is that friend? If you have a friend like this you are one of the luckiest people on earth. I know that, and then I don’t ask my friends to have all those qualities, but I want to live a happy life in relationships so I do my best to be that person, that friend.

I am a very lucky person. All the people close to me, we all share love, life and the depth of our human potential. Starting with authenticity- if you like, our soul and our heart. This is what makes our human life so amazing, miraculous and wonderful. Without a spiritual awakening process, we are not so friendly and can even be cruel to each other.

EVERYTHING IS AN ENERGY DISPLAY

In this entire universe without exception, there is only energy. Higher vibrational energy enables you to awake more. The sun shines brightly over billions of years. What inspires the sun to shine brightly so much? Through my own observation, I realise that light of the sun is a manifestation of love itself. Hopefully as you wake in the morning, as you see the sun rising it will help you to remember where you come from. And that is unconditional love.

The human condition is never perfect, based as it is on how to survive. Sure, look after your self, your emotional equilibrium, healthy habits in diet and exercise. In my Infinite Arts training, radiant, balanced health is important for your awakening. If your body is in pain, that is your priority and your focus. Your consciousness gets trapped in pain and can not expand. If you are in pain, you’re not happy. If you’re not happy, nobody benefits. Those around you will not be happy. If you insist you have to be miserable because of something that happened to you in the past, try your best to avoid others, because they will sense you. Instead, let go of past grievances, one by one.

People pursue happiness because they are not happy at all. If you ARE happy there is no need to seek it. You don’t need what you already have.

 The Infinite Arts enable you to become fulfilled and happy. These holistic practices of tai chi, chi kung and meditation cultivate a higher vibrational energy. Your vibrant energetic ecosystem creates the perfect conditions to allow your body to thrive in life using its own innate wisdom in the same way as a flower knows how to open up to enjoy the sunshine.

The quiet mind invites the heart centre to open and you notice that Love has its own intelligence, frequency and vibration. But when your mind looks at everything with doubt, it’s a completely different frequency. When you can look at life with the frequency of love, then you see a beautiful world. You are eager to wake up every single morning and to join with life.

RADIANT HAPPINESS

Radiant health comes from the radiant chi you cultivate by connecting with life-force. It sustains you and extends through you. This is the beauty of the Infinite Art. When you’ve got this, you have a certain vibration, you show confidence, balance, kindness and gentleness because you are strong inside. People who meet you feel they can trust you, and feel relaxed in your presence. Be that person to your fellow human beings.

You understand now that happiness in life comes from joining with life. So create the conditions for the body to thrive; rest, nutritious food, holistic exercise and a quiet, calm mind. Raise your energetic vibration to resonate with the energy of Love where everything becomes fresh and alive. Your potential is staggering. 

This is your invitation, to become the solution, and it starts first thing in the morning when you go to the bathroom, greet yourself in the mirror with a loving smile and welcome the day.
