Fax: I want to offer my congratulations on your transition to becoming a Full Teacher and putting together these panel discussions on spiritual transmission. In a car, the transmission is responsible for shifting the gears. How does spiritual transmission shift the gears in aspirants? Subhaga: What a great metaphor! I think people are humming along in neutral, to go along with the metaphor, but the transmission is there in all of us. Everybody has it. Everybody's transmitting their own life force, their own Being force. So when the transmission gets engaged with a teacher, let's say, ... Read more »

Life as a Prayer
We are living through challenging times when problems that seem both monumental and intractable beset us on all sides. The center of our common life seems to not be holding because our traditional cultural, political, spiritual, educational and commercial institutions all seem to be not up to the task of renewal. When what once was an edifice is no longer, it isn't entirely gone, it's just broken into pieces and still exists as rubble which has been scattered. The great mythologist, Michael Meade has said that an old Irish myth tells us that when the center no longer holds, we need to ... Read more »
Deep Prayer – Notes and Video Link
The awakened, naked intimacy with life can be experienced as a blessing – such vivid aliveness, heightened smells, colors, sounds, and wonderful immediacy of contact and connection. It’s also common to feel non-separation as a kind of curse as we become increasingly permeable to the suffering of those around us. We can join our hearts in this divine permeability of inter-being-ness, and in our collective field radiate our compassionate witnessing and prayer for well-being out into the web of life itself. Let us lean our hearts and intentions together in Consciousness to help nudge the ... Read more »
Why Fixing Strategies Don’t Serve Your Awakening Process
In our Trillium Awakening path, we describe one of the early stages of the awakening processes as the rot, coming to the end of fixing strategies that we have followed in the hopes that we would somehow be better than we are. We tend to dismiss the efficacy of fixing strategies because they distract us from the core wound, our existential, sense, shared by all humans, that there is something missing from or wrong with us. Instead of fixing, we focus on greenlighting, saying yes to all that is within and without, and from there, in the space that is created, we begin to integrate those ... Read more »

Trillium Touch™
How does Trillium Touch relate to the Trillium process of spiritual awakening? The transmission available through Trillium Awakening strengthens our capacity to embrace the full spectrum of our existence. As we embody consciousness, we learn to meet our experience with open-heartedness. Growing up, we might have created distance from some of our feelings—particularly those unmirrored by our caregivers. Perhaps it was safer, at these times, to bury these emotions outside awareness. However, our bodies and psyches have not forgotten the cast-off elements. We naturally yearn to reclaim the ... Read more »
Testimonials & Appreciation
"Margit meets me in the exquisite embrace of gentle witness. As a profound listener, she brings deep insights into my unique combination of divine and all-to-human self, as we explore in complete safety the essential vulnerability inherent in this journey as a human being. As “light holder” on this Awakening journey, Margit provides expert guidance, by being with all aspects of this embodiment process, engaging with the felt perceptions of an emotional, sometimes irrational, extremely sensitive, wounded animal…me. Before working with Margit, I knew there was a spiritual dimension to this ... Read more »
The core wellness is also endless
One of the concepts I most appreciate in this work is the core paradox (also sometimes known as the core wound/wellness paradox). It describes an aspect of reality clearly and in a way that I had not read about or experienced when I started this spiritual path. When exploring the core paradox as students and teachers in this work, I think there is a lot of well-deserved focus on deepening in feeling the core wound. This can show up as increasingly deeply feeling/experiencing the ways in which it’s really hard to be here and the (at times) excruciating discomfort and confusion from being ... Read more »
Conscious Growth in a World of Limits
One of the insights I have found to be most valuable within the Trillium Awakening (TA) dharma is that we are simultaneously both without limits and highly limited. Since this is a pretty standard part of our dharma, I won’t describe it further here. In my experience as a spiritual practitioner and TA teacher, there is also an enormous potential for growth in all kinds of dimensions. This aspect often receives less attention in our dharma and yet it is one that can make life richer, deeper, and all around better. However, our growth potential initially can make the awakened or awakening ... Read more »
