Masterclass: The Power of Desire
Communicate for Trust
•
2h 45m
Your desires are transmissions of the Divine moving through you. They are the purest expression of your humanity. Allow them to fully inhabit your body, your practices and your life - and they will become magnetic.
In this masterclass, recorded on January 8, 2022 with a world-wide virtual audience of close to 300 students, John Wineland and Nicholette Routhier lead embodied practices, meditations, and writing practices. John works one-on-one with participants as they uncover and explore their core desires thus giving you tools and examples to embrace the power of your own desire.
You will learn:
* A framework for understanding how desire works through your masculine and feminine essences.
* That everyone is born to a different (and perfect) place on the masculine-feminine spectrum.
* You can develop your masculine or feminine even if it’s not where you naturally rest.
* Your masculine and feminine have different desires.
* Your masculine yearns for freedom and nourishment without demand.
* Your feminine yearns to be seen, known, and obliterated in love.
* Your desires are beautiful and magnetic. Attachment to your desires, however, can lead to suffering.
* Your goal is your full ownership of your desire, not the achievement of your desire.
* The importance of aligning your desire and your life.
During the Masterclass, students share their desires in the chat box by completing the following sentence stem: “My heart’s deepest desire is…” Some examples are:
* To be led/guided by consciousness
* To live in abundance
* To receive wholehearted romantic devotional energy.
* To have the Divine worship me without burden or demand.
* To rest in unwavering stillness as I am drenched by the immeasurable intoxication of Her.
* To be fully claimed in a devotional, co-creative, embodied, God-level Sacred Union.
* To be loved deeply and to be ravished into blissful ecstasy.
* To be cherished, be sovereign and surrender into bliss.
* To be fully seen and received as love and in my expression.
* To become a husband and father, and to create a loving family.
* To be worshiped for my feminine essence
* To be witnessed in loving consciousness.
John concludes the Masterclass with a “homework” exercise on the Drala of Desire. In this exercise, you will look at your environment, appearance, and personal practice through the lens of your desire.
In particular, explore these categories:
ENVIRONMENT (ex. bedroom, office, garage, car, etc.)
APPEARANCE (ex. wardrobe, hairstyle, fitness, etc.)
PERSONAL PRACTICE (ex. journaling, movement, breath work, meditation, exercise, etc.)
Next, rate how your desire is expressed in each category, with a scale of 1 representing you are ignoring or avoiding your desire or 10 you are honoring your desire. Once you have completed this inventory, pick some or all of the areas to focus upon, and the steps you could take to move from a lower number to a higher number. And then, check in again with your deepest desire, noticing how the next steps feel in your body.
Welcome to the practice we call The Drala of Desire.
