Headless Way


This weekend has been varied. One of variations has been a meeting along with others, with Richard Lang. Richard had been invited to a
Nandini Satsang to talk to us about the Headless Way. Now I have known about this way for a good number of years now and was grateful for this opportunity to meet him.
In this gathering we were given a number of exercises (shown on the web site) with awaken us to the headless state. There is much to this technique that I like. One is the simplicity, another is the immediacy of the experience. At the same time this can be one of the most challenging things about it. That is because we appear to so like complexity. In fact I think we need it to such a great extent that we will create it at times. Because without those distractions where would we be? At peace maybe. Could we really cope with that for any reasonable amount of time. Now when I am headless, then I may still have problems. However I have the space to allow them to be. I become the space big enough to hold everything - the void. So I end up with both states at the same time, the normal everyday small self and the infinite self.
Give these exercises a try and experience what you do. Its well worth it. You may find that not everyone works for you at a specific time, however it might at another.
