Remember Your Choice

Scott Robinson // November 30th, 2024

An excerpt from the book, ‘The Journey is the Goal’, by Scott Robinson

Decide what reality you want to create and put that out into the world. Give it away. Let it go and ultimately you will receive it back. If you want to learn all of the time, then teach all the time. If you want to receive love from others all the time then love others all the time. Ultimately this comes back to you. If you want to be in a state of bliss it doesn’t work if you just sit around waiting for it. You simply need to be there and put it out. Simply be in a state of bliss and let that radiate out into the world, it will radiate back to you. Remember anything you put out into the world you will receive back sooner or later. Make your choices from this place.

Meditation Poem: Poised

Scott Robinson // November 30th, 2024

 

Rebirth!… out of the ashes comes life

The cultivated and the unwanted alike
And all the while the sacred cedar
holds space for the wandering naked ape

The path is known, plain and clear

with eyes open
The brave step onto the healing path

Ready

Poised

With passion

Now eyes narrow, honed on…..the way

Slow oblivion is not acceptable

We are creators

This is true

The forces of darkness wrestle back to Light and love

Because in the end the Light always prevails……
always

 

 

Whole Body Awareness

Scott Robinson // October 31st, 2024

An excerpt from the book, ‘The Journey is the Goal’, by Scott Robinson

As you become more spiritually-senior you are developing whole body awareness. One of the strengths you have is that you are a spiritual being in a physical body. Physical bodies are amazingly sensitive, and the skill is not only to have spiritual awareness but to experience that awareness through your whole body as well.

 

 

Meditation Poem: Universe of Gold

Scott Robinson // October 31st, 2024

 

Your universe of gold
Shines like endless truth in the night

So sensitive
Responding to every moment of your time

So fluid
Nothing can hold in this eternal energy flow

Unlimited creating in a world all your own

Cultivating reality
In the garden of dream
Dance and play where the seeds are sown

A house for you, a house for Source
A house so bright for all to see

A house of light when darkness comes
Happy and warm, your place to be

 

 

The magic of your life

Scott Robinson // September 30th, 2024

An edited excerpt from the book, ‘The Journey is the Goal’, by Scott Robinson

When you take a walk down the street, what percentage of the time are you present for it? Do you take time to look at the trees as they are silhouetted against the sky or to feel your heart beating as you move down the street? Do you feel the air you breathe or have you moved on to the next thing you are going to do? Walking down the street is as spiritual as meditation. We want to bring spiritual awareness into every moment and into all aspects of our lives. We want to extend our consciousness.

Each of us lives in different realities. If you walk past flowers without seeing them or savouring the fragrance, the flowers do not exist in your reality. They are not actually there for you. Something else was more important in that moment than experiencing the present. If you are present for your life, magic starts to happen and things turn up that you would never expect.

Meditation Poem: Create a New Song

Scott Robinson // September 30th, 2024

 

Snuggle down into the depths of Spirit

Bliss is at hand, in heart
And outside of time

Beauty abounds everywhere I look
And I know this moment is all mine

Being owned and owning others
Falls away like a forgotten thought

My power comes from within and above
Transcendence is here and now
Not to be sought

As my fire burns
You fuel my flames
White hot with power
Far beyond the games

Past life releases energy stored for so long
The old verse dies
And I create a new song

 

 

Meditation Poem: Into This Earth

Scott Robinson // August 31st, 2024

 

As I sit in the forest

I ground deeply into this earth

I saver the depth of manifestation

The more I ground
the more I can be here

The more I ground
the richer this place becomes

I have come here on a mission

I have come here to know the manifest in all its diversity

Much different than the ethereal flight of the Astral

A grounded body is heavy
in the most delightful way

I am not here forever

But while I am

I will enjoy the incredible power pull grounding

The wondrous connection to this beautiful world

This fragile realm

 

 

Flowing with Change

Scott Robinson // August 31st, 2024

An excerpt from the book, ‘The Journey is the Goal’, by Scott Robinson

Healing is flow, and flow is change. We are all in a constant state of change. Nothing in the cosmos is meant to stand still. Mountains are slowly eroding to sand. Seasons end, and new ones begin.

It is the same with your energy. When we block our energy flow as a result of resistance – fear, denial, – we limit healing. It is meant to flow, always.

Having Abundance

Scott Robinson // July 31st, 2024

An excerpt from the book, ‘The Journey Is The Goal’, by Scott Robinson

Many people are living in a state of limitation. Can they visualize themselves having more abundance? Some can, some can’t. For the ones who can, it becomes a possibility. For the ones who can’t, it will remain impossible. Imagination/visualization is that powerful.

 

Meditation Poem: The Journey is the Goal

Scott Robinson // July 31st, 2024

In a moment of summer warmth
I breathe the clean clear night
Footprints of forgotten days
Shine bright internal Light

 

Feeling my body walk
Each step feeling the Earth
Through the dance of my life
I see a new world birth

 

Days upon days of seeing
Reading from sign to sign
The quest for untainted truth
To Source and divine

 

So onward I move
High I hold my soul
And in the end I find
The journey is the goal

Scott Robinson

Scott Robinson is the founder and spiritual director of Lightwork Spiritual Development, based on Gambier Island, B.C. For more than 30 years, Scott’s spiritual evolution has been his life focus, along with helping others discover themselves as spiritual beings.

Even in earlier stages of his life Scott lived outside the confines of mainstream society as a hippie kid, musician, video artist, photographer, poet and world traveller. Spiritually aware from childhood, he could see energy, and he knew there was a bigger picture than the material pursuits of life.

His spiritual purpose took shape in his early twenties when he discovered a meditation style that was an immediate fit. He dove deeply into spiritual studies, deepening his clairvoyant abilities and learning the art of self-healing.

Scott is constantly pushing the boundaries of spiritual knowledge. Through teaching, writing and photography, he empowers others to become conscious, bright spiritual beings on the path to freedom.

Scott is also Chair of the Board, chief visionary, and manager of the Lightwork Ecovillage, the Gambier Island sacred site that is home to the Lightwork practice.

She has a Masters in Strategic Leadership Toward Sustainability which she applies in collaborative projects seeking solutions for climate change.

Julia Watson

Julia offers meditation and consulting services for organizations and individuals.

She started her conscious spiritual journey in her mid-twenties but it wasn’t until she came across Lightwork in 2002 that she found a meditation practice that really worked for her.

Julia completed Lightwork’s seven levels of training in 2010. She has been joyfully teaching meditation classes and offering private energy readings since then.

She was previously the Program Director at Hollyhock (Canada’s leading educational retreat centre) and is now a self-employed bookkeeper.

Julia received a Bachelor of Business Administration from Simon Fraser University in 1994. She received a permaculture design certificate in 2000.

Julia Thiessen

Julia started taking Lightwork classes by phone from Winnipeg in 2004. The classes rocked her world so thoroughly she moved to Vancouver to continue her meditation studies, eventually graduating from Lightwork's most advanced program, 'Level 7: The Apprenticeship' in 2012.

Her move to the West Coast allowed her to become involved in the Lightwork Ecovillage, where she continues to deepen her meditation practice and learn life lessons (like...you really can grow kale year round!).

Julia is a certified Lightwork Teacher. She offers Lightwork Level 1 and Level 2 classes for beginners, as well as private energy reading sessions.

She brings creativity to the Lightwork administration team, and manages two annual meditation retreats: the summer '9-Day Dharma Healing', and 'Winter Light Week'.

Cathy Belgrave

When Cathy signed up for her first Lightwork class, she entered brand new territory. Coming from a scientific background, meditation was well outside her normal repertoire but she felt compelled to try it.

Without even being able to describe how, she shifted perceptions in all parts of her life and began making decisions that decreased stress. Encouraged, she thought she would keep meditating until it no longer felt like a fit. That day never came. She’s now a committed Lightwork practitioner and teacher.

Cathy offers Lightwork Level 1, Level 2, private classes and energy reading-healings. She blends her passions for writing, teaching and meditation by offering creative writing workshops for children and adults.

Darci Rosalie

Darci discovered Lightwork meditation in her last month of nursing school. She realized she wanted a totally new way of coping with stress.

So she turned down a fancy job in California with a big signing bonus and season’s tickets to her favourite football team. Instead she registered for Lightwork's beginners class and never looked back.

Throughout her healing journey Darci has witnessed how meditation has the power to shift tough situations and heal what needs healing.

Her favorite thing about being a Lightwork teacher is the simplicity and presence of being in the moment. The big and small of the universe come into focus and make room for significant awareness and healing.

Darci graduated from the Lightwork Apprenticeship program in March 2014. She offers energy reading sessions and meditation classes in a loving, supportive environment.

She then packed up and moved to Vancouver to continue her studies, completing Lightwork's Level 6 Teacher Training Program in 2017.

Meditation has helped Elizabeth let go of fears and embrace all aspects of herself. She's excited that teaching now gives her the chance to offer the Lightwork techniques to other people.
