Welcome Instructions from Erika...
WELCOME, everyone to Advancing Your Yoga/Evolving Your Consciousness!
(Read & proceed…)
—When the spiritual malady (dis-ease/lack of ease) is overcome, we straighten out mentally
[emotionally] and physically. —(AA literature, Mystical traditions, Quantum Physics theory of
Downward Causation, etc.)
My own spiritual Self care practices over the years have taken on many different shapes, sizes
and/or iterations. There are times I am very consistently practicing* daily. There are other timesI lose sight of that priority, on (or not on) purpose. I do eventually feel the result of the lack ofthis deeper Self care in my body, mind, heart and spirit. When I do, I sometimes jump back into
the consistency. Or, I pile on the practices in a day’s time over the span of, say, a month, or
two/three times during the week over that same span. I don’t beat myself up for inconsistency.
And I don’t gloat over my consistency. I am both of these things. And I’ve learned to allow
room for both.
That said, there is no “right way” to engage in this deepening of your practice.
Just start. Just like we all started somewhere when entering a yoga studio, for example.
For now, I suggest you go in the order I have created for you:
-Watch the welcome video.
-Then read or listen to the month’s theme via the reading.
-Listen to the “Dharma Talk” videos.
-Find a spot to do your “audio class (shortened physical practice and long savasana/
sonic meditation).
-And finally, when you are at your most open/relaxed and in an expanded state of
consciousness, answer the active-learning questions and do your extra writing (see
below).
-Rinse & repeat on a schedule of your own keeping.
This offering is like a living thing. Just like my own studio-class-teaching-style grew and
changed over the years, so too will this. I will eventually create opportunities for us to gather to
talk/ask questions about how each of you are utilizing this practice and how it is going for you.
For now, I want you all to have your own experience, uninfluenced by other people’s
experiences.
I encourage each of you to keep a journal where you collect your responses to the active learningquestions. After your answers, write a response (any length for now) to what your
experience with this themed practice is like.
Sample questions to answer:
1. In what concrete and specific ways am I seeing (or plan to see) myself incorporate this
theme (ex: presence) into my life?
2. How am I feeling as a result of engaging in this “home practice” and spending this
purposeful time with myself right now?
3. What synchronicities am I experiencing over the span of a day/week/month?
Remember, this is just our beginning, and we will be growing from here. Let us see what is
birthed in each of us during this early time of a new practice.
I will continue to stay in touch with updates and new opportunities for communicating and
meeting up (online as well as perhaps also in person for some of us) via the newsletter and
Youtube videos.
Looking forward to what arises, grows & sheds for each of us in this solo, yet communal
experiment in going inward.
I am sending each of you big hugs and lots of Love. Talk to you soon. Xo

Unlearning Back to God
Helen Luke writes, “the coming to consciousness is not a discovery of some new thing. It is a long and painful return to that which has always been.”
Mark Nepo writes, “Each person is born with an unencumbered spot—free of expectation and regret, free of ambition and embarrassment, free of fear and worry—an umbilical spot of grace where we were each first touched by God. It is this spot of grace that issues peace. Psychologists call this spot the psyche, theologians call it the Soul, Jung calls it the Seat of the unconscious, Hindu masters call it Atman, Buddhists call it Dharma, Rilka calls it Inwardness, Sufis call it Qalb, and Jesus calls it the Center of our Love.
To know this spot of Inwardness is to know who we are, not by surface markers of identity, not by where we work or what we wear or how we like to be addressed, but by feeling our place in relation to the Infinite and by inhabiting it. This is a hard lifelong task, for the nature of becoming is a constant filming over of where we begin, while the nature of being is a constant erosion of what is not essential. Each of us lives in the midst of this ongoing tension, growing tarnished or covered over, only to be worn back to that incorruptible spot of grace at our core.
When the film is worn through, we have moments of enlightenment, moments of wholeness, moments of satori as the zen sages term it, moments of clear living when inner meets outer, moments of full integrity of being, moments of complete Oneness. And whether the film is a veil of culture, of memory, of mental or religious training, of trauma or sophistication, the removal of that film and the restoration of that timeless spot of grace is the goal of all therapy and education.
Regardless of subject matter, this is the only thing worth teaching: how to uncover that original center and how to live there once it is restored. We call the filming over a deadening of heart, and the process of return, whether brought about through suffering or love, is how we unlearn our way back to God.”
Active Learning Questions
Here are ten active learning questions inspired by Unlearning Back to God:
- Helen Luke describes the journey of coming to consciousness as a return to “that which has always been.” What experiences in your life have felt like a return to something timeless within you?
- Mark Nepo speaks of an “umbilical spot of grace” free of fear, ambition, and regret. How might reconnecting with this spot transform the way you navigate daily challenges?
- Nepo contrasts the “filming over” of our core with the erosion of what is not essential. What layers of film—cultural, emotional, or mental—do you feel most strongly in your life, and how might you begin to erode them?
- What practices help you experience moments when “inner meets outer,” and how can you cultivate more of these moments in your life?
- Nepo refers to the “ongoing tension” between becoming and being. How do you experience this tension, and what helps you stay grounded in your being rather than lost in becoming?
- How has suffering or love served as a catalyst for you to reconnect with the “spot of grace” at your core?
- Nepo suggests that uncovering the original center and learning to live there is the ultimate purpose of all therapy and education. How might you reframe your current learning or personal growth practices to align with this purpose?
- In what ways do your memories, religious or cultural teachings, or past traumas act as veils over your original self? How might you approach the process of gently removing these veils?
- Reflect on a moment of wholeness or satori you’ve experienced. What conditions or choices allowed that moment to emerge, and how might you create space for similar experiences?
- If the journey back to your core is a process of “unlearning,” what beliefs, habits, or patterns do you feel most called to unlearn, and what might you discover on the other side of that process?
These questions encourage deep reflection on the themes of uncovering the self, returning to essence (The God Self, Atman, Center, etc), and navigating the dualities of life.
