I bought the latest book and did the first exercise and was blown away by how easy, simple, clear, and powerful this practice is. I've been a long-time seeker and have done many kinds of meditation and spiritual practices but this one is my favorite for daily practice. I look forward to continuing with this practice and seeing where it leads. Thank you for endorsing this book, it's one of the reasons why I purchased it!
I really enjoyed this very real conversation with specific experiences from someone who strikes me as being profoundly awake. Thanks for your honesty and sharing your story
This took a bit more work than usual to get the jewels. That said, I got the jewels and look forward to using the concepts of “locating the I that is observing” and “inviting that observing self to relax into the whole”. I enjoyed seeing the tenderness between these two wise women. I also very much appreciated the articulation of how an “over-focus” on deconstructing story and limiting beliefs had its own limitations. Again, decoupling CR’s style of talking and presenting from her actual concepts and languaging those concepts was worth the work for me. Tara- you were a gracious model for all of us working in any platform that invites others to bring their gifts. Thank you. I ordered the book and look forward to exploring more.
It was hard for me to follow the practice, perhaps I have to try again. I think because the practice was explained and guided at the same time, I will have to understand the practice and try it again with less guidance. Thank you for this invaluable guest you have introduced to us Tara, my life has changed since I am following and practicing your work. 🙏💜
Emotional self-awareness - knowing what one is feeling at any given time . Self-regulation - controlling or redirecting one’s emotions. Daniel Goleman names the above two skills as the first steps to having "emotional intelligence." If that's the case, then the Wholeness Process may be the greatest tool of EQ development ever created. I mean, right off the bat, it haves us notice the location, size, shape, and sensations of what we are feeling. And even encourages us to refrain from using the labels of such. No one has really taught us to do this direct access until now. There are lots of discussions and theorizing about the whys and deeper meanings of emotions. But the Wholeness Process just goes directly to the experience of them. And that is just the very first of several super simple steps!
This is a very great revelation. Thank you so much!!!❤ Thank you!!!! It was absolutely amazing. I had a tennisball on my back and a hoodieshape. There was tightness in my chest and later fizzyness. My 'I' was in my mouth and at my third eye. Later outside my mouth. Later the tennisball got into a golfball. Then I was aware of sounds. And then I had a sensation of a golden filter around me. It was beatifull. And I feel my mouth differently. Thank you. Thank you very, very much!!!!! It was very, very, very, very beatifull! Wauw wauw wauw wauw. Incredible!❤
the wholness work is a method that goes beyond all concepts. The result is nondual experiencing. The inspiration for the wholness work is Sri Ramana Maharishi's self-questioning method which goes to the very essence of being. This method dissolves mainly the psychosomatic misunderstandings that we have believed during our lifetime. It is an absolutely workable method which leads us on the experiential level directly to our essential nature behind all thoughts and concepts of the mind itself.
This method is about experiencing it on yourself and than realising that your being in the world has transformed. I have this experience and it helped me to be who i deeply felt i am but was not able to “reach it” ..and that is why I am so greatful to Conirae and her willingness to bring this work to the precise step by step guide. The theory behind it and what Conirae is talking about in this video is touching me, it is speaking the truth of my experience with it too. If something new comes into my experience i can now see it as an opportunity for growth and more peace. There is less drama.. so more important than to speak about it is to experience it even thou i like to understand why this work is so profound and why it works: because it works with the fundamental, deep structures of our psyche that holds what limits us and by disolving it into the whole we are it liberates us… looking forward to read the book :)
Holy Cow, yes!!! She has yet to define wholeness work and continues to talk about its greatness. I had to turn this off it was so frustrating. And, she can't be gently directed as Tara keeps trying to do. I opened the chat to see if anyone could define it for me.
@@juliepepin6220 I too just commented on this, this speaker was astonishingly bad at explaining her 'method' and Tara was too soft on her - I mean of course we love Tara because she is so kind but this guest was an incoherent disaster and needed to be invited to explain herself as this delivery helps no one.
@@DrLauraJoseph I just tried reading the book…. It was worse. I think there could be good ideas in this, but I don’t even think the book was edited. Very, very hard to follow and comprehend.
I adore Tara and find nearly all her guests have valuable input to share but I found C.R Andreas to be a very poor explainer of her 'method'. She completely failed to explain what the wholeness approach is; all I got what that one should attempt to locate the seeing 'I' that perceives our sensations, thoughts and feelings, in as material a way as possible. It all seemed very vague, it was also totally unexplained how this differs essentially from mindfulness. Tara attempted at one point to question whether it would be a good idea to use this so-called method when, for example, experiencing shame, which elicited the response that it would not be suitable in that context, but again, no explanation as to why not, and given that most people need these tools for when they are experiencing very strong negative feelings then this all seems of limited value.
Very thoughtful comment. I appreciate that you were clear and not overly critical, but called out what I was wondering too. In Tara’s introduction, she even said that C.R. Andreas was so good at language and making it accessible (not verbatim), and that’s what made the unclear, disjointed, explaining even harder to tolerate. I did like her metaphor of rotting food in the fridge, as a comparison to avoided feelings/emotions, and placing in compost, getting air…but aside from that, I felt that she made things confusing. To really help others, it needs to be clear, accessible, “simple” to some degree. To make an abstract idea even more abstract, makes it even farther to “get”! I do think that there are ways to feel, process, integrate to wholeness, that can be explained better, and importantly, achieved!
An experienced meditator who is grounded in their practice may be able to ride out the energy. I was not experienced when I had a powerful blessing when my guru passed away.
Thank you, wise women. We love you~

Found this to be very helpful. Elucidation of the ineffable particularly on force, resistance and wisdom seems now clear. Thank you
Really wondrous! So real! Thanks a million🤗
This makes “awakening” accessible to us all!
The end of video reminds me of parts work, or “all parts are welcome” and hence wholeness.

Wauw wauw wauw wauw. Incredible!❤
This is a wonderful interview, thank you Tara for your deep questions that allow Connirae to express all the richness of Wholeness Work!❤

For those who found Connirae talks too fast when doing the practice, try slowing down the speed of the video to 0.75, which works well.
Thanks, learn something new every day!
Beautiful talk. Thank you 🙏

I think she is just realy glad of experiencing it herself. I am happy fr her. Its just too much in words from her. It comes from a good heart.
I love this .. 🙏 thank you
Thank 🙏🏼 You
I'm not sure what is so brilliant here. It seems very basic level 'Awareness 101' for people who have been practicing for years.
Brilliant work but I find her disjointed delivery, voice so hard to listen to…

I'm lost with this, feels nebulous
It makes me very confused. Many words .

It sounds like a kundalini awakening she wasn’t prepared for.
if you are prepared for an awakening, are you really waking up?

I was not experienced when I had
a powerful blessing when my guru passed away.
Too much.
Trying to hang in there…this conversation starts out really fragmented and hard to follow without context.
To clear a possible misunderstanding: The annotation title from 40:50 would be "Where is the 'I'?", not where is the eye :-)
