The taste of presence
From the Openhand perspective, we all experience the state of Enlightenment from time to time, it's just that as soon as the experience arises within us, we associate it with something else and lose the experience. Alternatively, a part of us is not comfortable with the experience and therefore creates once more the condition of internal separation from it. But this experience of non-identified presence is there in the background of everything we do and dictates every experience. It is the guiding light and the faster we surrender to its inevitable pull, the more harmonious our lives will become. So what is this state of Enlightenment like? How can we recognise it and surrender into it?...

A profound route map for human evolution
The world is undergoing a very turbulent evolutionary process. As the very fabric of our society crumbles, a new paradigm is beckoning us founded on unconditional love, joy and mutual respect for all life. The question is, how do we join it?

There are many ways up the ‘spiritual mountain’, for each of us there is a unique path. Yet those who have climbed before us often speak of five key expansions, five key 'altitudes' through which we all tend to pass. It is a common journey that has been established by spiritual masters through the ages.

Harnessing the attractive power of the universe
Unless you've woken up recently, you've probably heard much about the so called "Law of Attraction". Motivational Gurus the world over seem to be advocating it's use to create the reality we might want, to generate abundance in life or that long sought after soulmate. From my perspective, indeed there is a Law of Attraction, but I observe how this natural science has been mis-informed or in some cases, maligned to promote or 'sell' a particular approach - namely that we can essentially manifest the reality we might want by using the law. So how might we unlock the real secret behind the Law of Attraction and harness it for maximum uplifting benefit?...

The Power of Non-efforting
What if we don't need to effort and struggle in life at all? What if just by letting go we could summon the whole power of the universe right through our beingness? And what if we could do that simply by confronting and then abandoning ALL intention to do things? What if the energy - the "Chi" - thus unleashed truly leads to complete satisfaction and fulfillment in EVERY moment. How could your life change?...

A prayer of the soul
Meditation is an accepted tool within spirituality for catalysing our spiritual evolution. It seems prayer is becoming less and less favoured. So is there still a place for prayer on the spiritual journey and if so, what kind? Speaking as a non-religious person, I can say that frequently, I experience a deep upwelling from my soul about a situation or event. I find that by expressing those arising feelings within a meditative, interconnected state, then I can feel my meditative prayer having an organising impact on the field around me. It feels like a powerful way of bringing into being the Right Action of the universe...

How can we be of service to you?
Here at Openhand we offer a range of self-realisation services to individuals, small groups and communities alike. We have our own program of events, but we're also prepared to be flexible and organise something to fit your particular needs. Our services are open to all people, in all walks of life, everywhere that is practical. And we're growing a worldwide movement of facilitators aligned with the Openhand Philosophy.

The intervention of Opposing Consciousness
Conspiracy theories are abound. Is our evolutionary process being interfered with? Is our society being shaped and controlled by secret groups bent on controlling the world? More importantly, how can we break free of whatever conditioning and control we might be subjected to? These are important questions that many awakening people are beginning to ask. So far within the growth of Openhand, we've directed very little attention on the website to this subject because our purpose is not to generate unnecessary fear or worry. But the subject is now expanding exponentially into the group consciousness so we feel to carefully engage in the debate, all the time focusing on the way forwards...

No one is right and no one is wrong
As an adjunct to my article called "Radical Forgiveness", I felt to add another vital root to the forgiveness tree: it is the realisation that in all our interactions with people, where two parties might disagree, "no one is right and no one is wrong". In my truth, it's much more than just a solution to forgiveness, it's also a priceless catalytic tool for evolutionary growth because it has the potential to grow "positive feedback loops". So what do I mean by this and how can it help?...

How do you listen to and follow your soul?
For many lifetimes, we've lived in ignorance of our soul. The space has not been provided to embody the soul and so we've experienced life mostly as separate from all things with events and circumstances happening hap-hazardly and randomly with no seeming deeper meaning or purpose. Then one day, we might pause for a moment in the merry-go-round of life, realise that way of living does not serve us and for the first time, hear the quiet voice of the soul in our hearts; and supremely magical it is when that happens. So how do we tune in and listen to the soul the whole time? How can we fully infuse and embody our soul in our lives?...
