This man has been told that the world is a reflection of himself and doesn’t know how to deal with the rejection and unfriendliness he feels. John shows him what really matters and how he can heal himself and become a reflection of his own heart in the midst of this world and all his troubles.
This woman is touched by John sharing what sexuality is really for and wants to know what it means to be a woman. John shares the subtle differences between man and woman, and shows her how to invite and move in her sexuality anew – this time aligned to the delicacies of its deeper mystery.
This young woman knows she could deepen her connection with her unborn baby but doesn’t know how. John shows her the real language of parenting she can learn from her baby in the quiet of her heart. It not only opens the connection she longs for but will teach her what really matters in her own life, and in parenting her baby once born.
This man has experienced the disappointment of slipping into old patterns, letting love slip away, and ending up alone. Now in a new relationship, he wants to know how not to repeat that cycle.
In this interview with Rishi Itzhak, therapist and meditation teacher from Israel, John is asked questions about the essence of his teaching and what happens in his presence that is so much more than teaching. This rich dialogue opens and explores what is real; how to access the full potential of our selves through openness and softness of heart; why there is so much suffering and depression in the world, and the particular gift of being in John’s presence.
“In this interview with Rishi Itzhak, John describes the essence of his teaching: how to awaken to reality, most of which is unseen by the minds of our selves and how the entrance to that reality is through the heart and the fundamental beingness of openness and softness.
Asked basic, but important questions, John explains in detail what is actual in this world but not ‘real’ in the greater context covering such topics as:
Why there is so much depression in the world. The full potential of our selves. Being around an enlightened teacher. The power of thought, will and emotion . Why fear keeps us from manifesting what we are truly meant to be
Rishi is a therapist who specializes in rebirthing and meditation, instructing students and practitioners alike. He studied at the Osho Multiversity in Poona, India, as well as in Greece and Italy. With over 20 years of experience in his field, he presently lives in Isreal with his wife and two children. He is the co-owner (with his wife) of the ‘Centre for Breath and Meditation’.”
The way to enlightenment is endarkenment, awareness being nothing, awareness, nothing; nothing, aware, home.
“My sole purpose is to be, in life, what we are after we’ve died. Through openness and softness of heart and core-splitting honesty at any personal cost, I live as that while actualizing the same in others I meet. I am available as a resource for anyone who recognizes and values this way of being.”
