Miranda Macpherson – Living in Boundless Love

Description Of Living in Boundless Love

Open to the Boundless Love within you and access deep trust and nurturing calm to experience all of life’s circumstances as blessings, bringing you greater freedom and fulfillment.

Discover how this abundant love within is what you’ve been seeking all along and how to touch into its grace — your truest self and connection to God — whenever you need to.

In Living in Boundless Love, Miranda Macpherson will offer you a distinctly feminine perspective on non-dual spiritual realization that leads to the discovery of new dimensions of grace.

She’ll help you to open your heart and invite you to experience Boundless Love and live with a deeper awareness of and appreciation for the beauty and mystery of life — no matter your circumstances.

During these ten modules with Miranda Macpherson, you’ll learn to relax the efforting — the trying to get love and attempts to emotionally flee your challenges.

You’ll be guided through the common pitfalls we all experience in our quest for love, inner calm and peace, and discover how to embrace everything as a gateway to Boundless Love, freedom and fulfillment.

And you’ll be invited to experience this awakening as a living, pulsating awareness that permeates every aspect of your body and being.

You’ll also discover how to bring these deep realizations into your daily life — to become a more conscious and spiritually mature human being.

To live in a state of boundless love in which you see all things as an expression of the Divine, you need to integrate and include all the parts of yourself that seem to be obstacles on your path of awakening.

By exploring and embracing the full spectrum of your humanity AS a reflection of your divinity, you can relax into the Boundless Love within you and stop resisting so much of your experience of life.

You open to the profound blessing of each and every moment.

This is what it means to open to the stream of grace within you — to see everything as a blessing and an expression of love.

What you’ll learn in Living in Boundless Love

In Living in Boundless Love, you’ll:

• Understand the inevitable fall from grace into separation from love, as part of the human condition
• Recognize how your attempts to get love, become lovable or earn love drive you to seek externally, while holding together your sense of separation
• Discover how to embrace the exact situations of your life as your personal curriculum for your next level of liberation and spiritual maturity
• Learn how to relax your plan for the fulfillment of your longing, and instead enter in and through what is arising, allowing authentic surrender
• Sense into presence and find true inner ground independent of mind through simple somatic cues
• Discover game changing spiritual keys to accessing inner support and true resiliency, rather than “trying to support yourself”
• Clearly understand the spiritual purpose of human relationship as a sacred vessel for transformation and liberation
• Dissolve the subtle conflict between love and freedom
• Find your prayer that brings you back to living in love

What You’ll Discover in Living in Boundless Love

In this 10-module transformational training, Miranda Macpherson will offer you an opportunity to integrate love and unity into your life through the non-dual state of unconditional allowing. You’ll more deeply understand your deepest nature as love, open beyond your mental boundaries and to greater freedom and fulfillment.

Each contemplation and training session will build harmoniously upon the next so that you’ll develop a complete, holistic understanding of the practices, tools and principles you’ll need to open to and experience the Boundless Love within you.

SECTION 1: OPENING TO BOUNDLESS LOVE
Module 1: Relaxing the Search for Love

Discover the fall from grace that happens to all human beings in the process of childhood ego development, and which grounds us in a state of separation from the love that is the indestructible depth of our own heart.

Miranda Macpherson will share her experience of awakening into the non-dual state of Boundless Love that arose out of a deep depression at the age of 13. She’ll speak to the transforming presence of love that melts your ego boundaries and connects you to the living stream of grace within, and how it powerfully opens your vision of reality.

You’ll discover how the state of Boundless Love awakens deeper trust, supports surrender, resolves the inner poverty of lack, and gives you easier access to deeper dimensions of God-consciousness.

In this module, you’ll explore:

• Love as the ultimate nondual ground of your being, the natural state of your heart, and who you are minus your personality
• The inevitable fall from grace into separation from love, as part of the human condition
• How your attempts to get love, become lovable or earn love drive you to seek externally, while holding together your sense of separation
• How to discriminate between the ego’s view of love and the vision of Boundless Love
• How “ego relaxation” helps us receive love’s sustaining presence, which helps us thrive and deepen wherever we find ourselves on the path

Module 2: Entering Your Deepest Longings & Life Challenges

Everything that life brings us carries an invitation to grow wiser, deeper and richer spiritually — even when it appears to be a tragedy. In this module, you’ll explore what’s knocking on the inner door of your soul — your longings for the next level of expansion and the challenges of your life at this time.

You’ll discover how to enter challenges as a pilgrimage home, accepting the exact ingredients of your life as your personal curriculum of awakening — not as circumstances to strategize against or problems to fix.

This is a radical and beautiful teaching on how to embrace everything — subtle inner callings, relational difficulties, the challenges of aging and illness, financial stress, bereavement and the unexpected, as a gateway into deeper wisdom.

In this module, you’ll explore:

• What it is you truly long for and why
• How to embrace the exact situations of your life as your personal curriculum for the next level of liberation and spiritual maturity
• How to relax your plan for the fulfillment of your longing, and instead enter in and through what is arising, allowing authentic surrender
• How to become more intimate with the deeper truth of your heart
• A fresh non-denominational approach to prayer

Integration Session & Extended Satsang #1

These special integration sessions will start with chanting, meditation and a review and deepening of the previous modules. You will then move into “satsang” where Miranda Macpherson will work more deeply with your questions, grapplings and realizations. This is where the teachings come vividly to life in response to the group field.

You’ll see and experience more substantially how holistic inquiry helps us harness absolutely everything into a gateway to grace, clarify confusions, and receive the blessing that happens when any one of us drops in and through our own consciousness. For many, satsang is a powerful highlight of working with Miranda Macpherson.

Section 2: DISSOLVING THE BLOCKS TO LOVE’S PRESENCE
Module 3: Cultivating Presence & Compassion for Your Defenses

Turning everything into the path of awakening demands that you learn to cease rejecting the curriculum of your life. This requires you to deepen your capacity to be present, open and compassionate with your defenses. These defenses, your ego reactivity, including patterns of fear and control, represent suffering that has not yet been liberated — whether from your family history, relational heartbreaks or karmic patterning.

Exploring and opening to these patterns calls for a mature and curious approach to your humanity. And in this session, you’ll receive potent teachings — including powerful somatic practices — to help you cultivate presence and relax your ego struggle to find your deeper ground inside, even in the face of life challenges. Receiving this deeper ground — that always is — provides a true platform to open your heart all the way towards your own suffering and that of others.

In this module, you’ll explore:

• Your habits of closure, honestly and kindly, as well as what keeps your reactivity active
• Your key defenses to love, how you leave our own heart, and the forces behind these automatic contractions
• How to sense into presence and find true inner ground, independent of mind, through simple somatic cues
• Game changing spiritual keys to accessing inner support and true resiliency, rather than “trying to support yourself”
• Cultivating the will and capacity to stay present and feel everything (so it is not just OK but positively empowering!)

Module 4: Liberating Unworthiness & the Fear of Receiving

Whenever we experience any lack of love in our early life, our survival instinct drives us to draw a conclusion that we must not be worthy of love — that we need to fulfill some ideal, become different or better in order to receive it.

Unfortunately, this conclusion becomes the foundation of our familiar identity, limiting our experience of love and often keeping the possibility of greater relational fulfillment at bay. Additionally, driving this is the hidden fear that love will melt all of our defences, leaving us too vulnerable. In this session, you’ll explore what will happen to “me” (your ego structure) if you receive the reality of unconditional love for just being.

In this module, you’ll explore:

• What you’ve learned to do to earn, deserve or prove yourself worthy of love
• How this plays out in your spiritual and relational life now
• Bringing your strategies, demands and fears to the light of awareness, and letting love’s transforming presence melt your armor
• How to relax and ground through the experience of vulnerability
• The power of practicing ego relaxation in the face of our subtle demands
• Receiving and resting more substantially in love’s healing presence

Module 5: Dropping Through & Beyond Your Core Wound of Love

Our ego is full of hidden conflicts, making us defend most heavily against what we say we most want, commonly manifesting as resistance in our spiritual practice and relationships. Since love’s presence is a force that melts our boundaries, it can feel threatening to let go of wounds and habits of closure, in ways that do not often make rational sense but can have powerful effects in our lives.

In this session, Miranda Macpherson will guide you through a deep inquiry into what you regard as a primary problem in your life, practicing ego relaxation with it, and then taking a deep dive into the depths of your being to let loving awareness meet the specific forces that hold your core wound in place. Prepare to discover that not only is there nothing to fear and no real need for your historical defenses, but that you are a lot more beautiful than you knew!

In this module, you’ll explore:

• Your core wound or limitation around love
• Practicing ego relaxation with this
• Entering in and through to meet the forces that hold this in place
• Meeting everything you find in your “basement” with love
• Discovering what shines in the deeper basement of your being
• Resting as the presence of Boundless Love and awareness through an extended guided meditation

Integration Session & Extended Satsang #2

This session will begin with chanting and meditation and include a review and deepening of the material of the past few sessions in “Healing the Blocks to Love.” You will then move into “satsang” where Miranda Macpherson will work more deeply with your questions, grapplings and realizations. This is where the teachings come vividly to life in response to the group field.

You’ll see and experience more substantially how holistic inquiry helps us harness absolutely everything into a gateway to grace, clarify confusions, and receive the blessing that happens when any one of us drops in and through our own consciousness. For many, satsang is a powerful highlight of working with Miranda Macpherson.

SECTION 3: EMBODYING BOUNDLESS LOVE IN THE EVERYDAY
Module 6: Navigating Difference, Conflict & Ruptures With a Wise and Loving Heart

Living a rich and meaningful life means dedicating ourselves to be a presence of love in the world, and that begins with the people closest to us in everyday life — our spouse, children, parents, colleagues and friends. And when we live in Boundless Love, we’re called to shift the common confusion that love means things will always be harmonious, we should always accommodate others’ needs (or they ours) and that anger is not spiritual!

In this session, you’ll discover how to navigate the challenges that arise in the realities of love through embracing truth in multiple perspectives, opening to THE way not “my” way.

In this module, you’ll explore:

• How to stay grounded, present and undefended to be more graceful with difference
• Listening to the invitations even within conflict
• How to forgive yourself when you fall out of loving awareness
• How to return to love after a rupture with a loved one
• How to view and experience such ruptures as crucibles that can grow you the most into spiritual maturity

Module 7: Turning Your Relationships Into Healing Temples

The more we’re identified with our ego, which separates us from love, the more we unconsciously approach relationships with the intention of getting love. We subtly manipulate others to dance around our fears and prop up our ego insecurities, which, of course, thwarts the possibility for living in love in a way that truly lets everyone thrive.

In this session, we’ll explore these unconscious vows — that we can so easily play out in the name of love — with compassion and humor, including identifying the ways we tend to objectify ourselves and others, project and make subtle demands.

We’ll also explore the feminine approach to awakening, which views our human relationships as the most powerful crucibles for authentic awakening — the vessel in which we can humbly see where we truly are, practice letting go of fear, separation, projection, judgment and self-centeredness, and shift our focus on what a relationship is truly for.

In this module, you’ll explore:

• Bringing to the light the common ego vows we make in relationship, which squeeze out their beauty and juice
• The spiritual purpose of human relationship — as a sacred vessel for transformation and liberation as well as the principles that help make it so
• How to dissolve the subtle conflict between love and freedom
• What it means to genuinely embody spiritual practice in your relationships (even when the other does not share your interest)
• Rededicating your most significant relationships to love, truth and freedom
• Finding your prayer that brings you back to living in love
