To watch the full episode, please log in to your account - or consider becoming a Portal One level member.

At Portals we seek to offer great content to inquiring minds, and we also want to nourish and grow a thriving community by creating an ecology of practice for engagement and exchange. Your membership supports that potential.

Throughout history, the great questions have been asked, and great research has been undertaken, always expanding the territory of the known by shining a light into the unknown. Where is that cutting edge today? And can a community of people from all over the world, each carrying their own unique journey of discovery, come together to inquire at the edge of purposeful evolution, through dialogue and interaction? We think it is possible, and we hope that you will choose to be a part of this exploration.

Portals Practices are a wide array of activities and processes that can enhance well-being, inner balance and harmony. Practices help us integrate our inner lives and awareness and connect to our natural creative potential. We’re also tuning our lives to the greater intelligence, strength and support that is always available to us.

This is the second in a series of special practices that offers simple and highly effective steps to overcome and neutralize the biggest obstacle to a deeper natural human development: the polarities we see all around us every day. Polarities — weak/strong, success/failure, energy/matter — prevent us from perceiving the bigger picture and the path to an integrated universal awareness. Each polarity is different with unique challenges; the five releasing and transcending moves in this practice reflect new perceptions and creative tools to defuse age-old dilemmas.

This practice is a segment of the recent Current Openings Live Event – The Human Development Challenge on Portals and builds upon the first practice in this series. It’s part of the experience value we are building for members as we grow the Portals community of practice.

Please feel free to share with us the feelings and benefits you registered with this or other Portals practices in the Comment Section below. This practice is part of the continuing Portals discovery into what is emerging on the frontiers of human experience in this time of dynamic change.

Steps

Polarity tuning — a warm-up

  • 1: Clear a mental and physical space for a time of contemplation
  • 2: Take three deep breaths to gather and center the whole of yourself. (Also realize breathing is an inhale/exhale polarity)
  • 3:  Bring the hands together in front of you, fingertips touching, and press fingertips together with strength for a few seconds, then release. Register the tension and feeling of release in the muscles of your hands, arms, and shoulders.
  • 4:  Repeat these steps several times as a simple example of the hard/soft, tension/release polarities.

 

Integrating polarities

  • 5:  Experience the five moves or tools demonstrated in this recording
  • 6:  Identify the polarities in your own life you want to integrate, transcend or escape
  • 7:  Apply the steps, perceptions and logic in the five moves to the polarized circumstances you identified
  • 8:  Bring the insights and knowledge gained in this practice to other polarizing situations you encounter

 

I love working with letters and language; each letter contains an energetic frequency. In the idea of being caught in a polarity or “binary” situation, the word actually says “brainy”. Our binary brain is telling us “future, past, worry” and all of this going on. Becoming more heart-centered and body-centered, the somatic curiosity tethers us to the present, and less in the polarity.
