WindemereI nstitute of Healing Arts : Our Philosophy

Windemere Institute of Healing Arts

Our multi-dimensional courses reflect our fundamental teaching that from a soul level, we are continually guided to an experience of true well being: Body, Mind, Emotions & Spirit.

We suggest that our personal work in preparation for our professional work is to listen to our inner guidance and to allow Well Being into our lives. We further suggest that one's Inner Being serves as a guide and mentor in every moment of one's life experience, leading one to truly "Living a Spirit Inspired Life".

We emphasize that the healing arts are most effectively offered when they are fully integrated into the practitioners' life ways.

1. Love is the divine, mystical, and holy power that creates and sustains life for the simple joy of doing so. In its purest form, love is where creation creates itself. The key to love rests in knowing your own connection to that Power. Love is who you are.

2. BEING is fundamental. The light of our being is something to be recovered, not created. It has always been and will always BE the power underwriting all our experiences. To judge or to celebrate an experience as if it were the reason for our existence is to miss the point of who we really are. We are restored to our true Being through liberation from all attachment.

3. The key to CONSCIOUSNESS lies in acceptance of it as the light of our souls. It is not an external dimension to which we aspire, but rather a way of knowing about life from a higher perspective. Faith is the candle, and courage the force, that carries this light into dark passages of experience, as we gain insight into that which was previously unseen.

4. Compassion is the key to our higher life.

5. Experience your Oneness with Divine Source: feel it, embrace it, express it, gratify it, and celebrate it with all your heart, and what ever desire that passion holds shall be given to you. This is the key to desire's fulfillment.

6. The key to innocent perception lies in a spirit of discovery. Release your expectations, fixations, and judgments. Explore life with the freshness and wonder of a child.

7. PEACE is not found in the world but in oneself.

8. Balance is the key to our Sacred Center. It is to be found in complete relaxation and surrender to spiritual guidance, that of your Inner Being.

9. Belief is the key to our future, and we will always believe in something. To gain mastery over belief one must honestly answer two questions, "In what do I believe, and on what foundation do I base my certainty?"

10. The key to creativity resides in the power of thought and thoughtfulness.

11. Discover the love that you are by following the threads of your own experience to their greatest possibility.

12. This moment of NOW is the key to truth. If truth is observed as the passing of events through time, it is elusive. If approached through faith and consciousness, with the simplicity of pure being, truth can be seen as the quality of NOW that permeates all of life, and there is nothing but truth.

13. We always have a choice between reactive and pro-active behavior. The key to pro-active living is found in knowing that miracles are completely compatible with cause and effect. This knowledge sustains hope.

14. Experience is necessary to make us strong and expand our reality. Forgiveness is the key to making experience bearable and liberating us to the higher qualities of life.

15. Our great inner world is the key to attraction. To uncover this magnetic potential and discover boundless energy, we must release our beliefs, ideas, and practices based on scarcity, resistance, and enforced labor.

16. A charitable heart is the key to abundance.

17. Giving and receiving nourishment is a key to community. All of life is shared; one way or another.

18. The key to fulfilling experience is to know oneself as the Experiencer rather than the experience.

19. Our true and essential purpose is to be the love that we are. This is a key to all other purposes.

20. Prayer and meditation are keys to our higher reality, our larger self.

21. Life is in its own sacred essence that extends well beyond the containers we use for holding it and knowing it. A key to a fuller richer life rests in understanding that life is the vital force that delivers us from limiting circumstances. It is life that restores health, and not health that restores life.

22. Knowing the greater dimensions of the soul, which far exceed the body, is a key to Oneness and to restoring the temple of one's life.

23. A key to living safely within the stories of our life is to remain always in our personal authenticity.

24. The way to true freedom is through the infinity of your own BEING.

1. All-That-Is, or God, is not finished and waiting for you to catch up. You are the leading edge of thought, here seeking more: more of all that feels good to you, more of that which is fresh and gloriously uplifting. (You are, in essence, bringing heaven to earth.)

2. You are here in this body because you chose to be here.

3. You wanted the opportunity to experience this delicious contrast in time and space, and with great anticipation you came to co-create with other joy-seeking beings, to fine-tune the process of deliberate thought. (What, where, when and with whom are your choices, too.)

4. The basis of your life is Freedom; the purpose of your life is Joy. You are free to choose to discover new avenues for your joy. In your joy you will grow; and in your growth you will add to the growth of All-That-Is. (However, you are also free to choose bondage or pain... but everything anyone chooses is only because they believe it will help them feel better.)

5. You are a creator; you create with your every thought.
You often create by default, for you are getting what you are giving your attention to wanted or unwanted but you know by how it feels if what you are getting (creating) is what you are wanting or if it is not what you are wanting. (Where is your attention focused?)

6. Anything that you can imagine is yours to be or do or have. As you ask yourself why you want it, the essence of your desire is activated, and the Universe begins to bring it to you. The more intense your positive feelings, the faster it is coming to you. (It is as easy to create a castle as a button.)

7. You are choosing your creations as you are choosing your thoughts. Your loving Inner Being offers guidance in the form of emotion. Entertain a wanted or unwanted thought and you feel a wanted or unwanted emotion. Choose to change the thought and you've changed the emotion and the creation. (Make more choices in every day.)

8. The Universe adores you; for it knows your broadest intentions. You have come to earth with great intentions, and the Universe constantly guides you on your chosen path. When you are feeling good, you are, in that moment, allowing more of that which you have intended from your broader perspective. (You are Spirit Incarnate.)

9. Relax into your natural Well-being. All is well. (Really it is!)The essence of all that you appreciate is constantly flowing into your reality. As you find more things to appreciate, your state of appreciation opens more avenues to more to feel appreciation for. (As you think you vibrate. As you vibrate you attract.)

10. You are a creator of thoughtways on your unique path of joy. No one can limit where you can direct your thought. There are no limits to your joyous journeys to experience. On the path to your happiness you will discover all that you want to be or do or have. (Allowing others their experiences allows you yours.)

11. Actions to be taken and money to be exchanged are by-products of your focus on joy. On your deliberately joyous journey your actions will be inspired, your resources will be abundant and you will know by the way you feel that you are fulfilling your reason for life. (Most have this one backwards, therefore most feel little joy in their actions or their possessions.)

12. You may appropriately depart your body without illness or pain. You need not attract illness or pain as an excuse to leave. Your natural state coming, remaining or leaving is that of health and of Well-being. (You are free to choose otherwise.)

13. You can not die; you are Everlasting Life. In grace, you may choose to relax and allow your gentle transition back into your Non-physical state of pure, positive Energy. Your natural state is that of Foreverness. (Have fun with all of this. Lighten up! You can't get it wrong.)

P.S. It is not necessary for even one other person to understand the Laws of the Universe or the processes that we are offering here in order for you to have a wonderful, happy, productive Life Experience for you are the attractor of your experience. Just you!
