Awaken Inner being
where the purpose is to balance physical, emotional, mental & spiritual health for a more peaceful life:
~ Rest in & Move from the Heart ~
Approach
TRILLIUM'S APPROACH IS TO:
- create a safe and confidential space to invite Truth in all forms to emerge
- allow and embrace what is arising and appearing in each moment
- listen with undivided attention, a clear and empty mind, and an open and embracing Heart
- apply teachings and meditation instructions of the Buddha and other wise (wo)men
- peel off the layers of conditioning using her gifts, tools and skills
- activate the courageous state and stability needed to see reality as it truly is
Trillium's utmost aim is to promote and welcome the exploration and deepened understanding of our behavioural patterns and tendencies - so that we can
see, feel, sense, know and let go, in essence, apply it as
~ Inner Alchemy ~
Using meditation, internal qigong and other 'body awareness and movement' modalities, alongside breathwork and intimate verbal sharing
- witnessed with a loving and non-judgemental presence -
it is possible to allow behavioural patterns, emotional triggers and other contractions held within the physical and non-physical bodies to be acknowledged, embraced, and transmuted for release
Energy - QiGong - TaiChi ~ Instructions & Trainings Received
- Trillium has had the fortune to study and practice with some highly renowned and accomplished Qi Gong and Energy Masters and it is with gratitude and respect that she shares some of what she has learnt over the years (combining it with teachings and transmissions also from other teachers with a 'spiritual' focus)
- The core of Trillium's Qi Gong teaching and application is derived from personal instructions and transmissions received from Sifu Mark Rasmus of Elastic Chi Kung and Sifu Ludovic (who teaches from 25 years of study and expeience within a Taoist lineage in China and personal guidance from Sifu Rasmus combined) - covering in-depth external and internal Qi Gong; Taoist Internal Alchemy; Deity Yoga and Hermetics principles and applications. Trillium continues to recceive training from these eseteemed teachers and from time to time assists with as 'training partner' in some of the their workshops
- During 2018/20, she undertook daily intensive instruction for more than 2 years from (and assisted in workshop facilitation for) Masters Shi Heng Zuan and Shi Heng Yi of Shaolin Temple Europe, learning numerous Qi Gong and Tai Chi forms and attending many retreat intensives, as well as living within the Shaolin Temple Europe
- Trillium has also received 2 years of structured and personal instructions from ‘Howard’ Huai Hsiang Wang of the “Prana Dynamics” internal arts system, learning the deep meaning and ‘living implementation’ of internal energetics principles
- For health and well-being, Trillium received instruction in Six Healing Sounds Qi Gong from Master Faye Yi Lip and Shaolin Self-Healing Health practices from Judy Young
More on the Personal Path ~ Practices & Initiations:
INNER ALCHEMY:
Trillium has indeed been blessed to train with and receive initiations from some very esteemed and highly skilled teachers. Already in her 20's, she was initiated in secret teachings of internal energy management and cultivation, and she has lived with several teachers as a full-time student, including a recluse alchemist in the Colorado mountains, where she had access to many secret texts on the subject and learnt how to create gold and other vibrational elixirs
Following extensive meditation training and Pranic living (below) as well as tantra and Quodouschka principles application, she learnt and practiced Qi Gong, Tai Chi and 'sensing hands' intensively on a daily basis under the instruction of Shaolin lineage holders Shifu Shi Heng Zuan and Shifu Shi Heng Yi for 2 years. Subsequently, she was referred to three acclaimed Masters to deepen and cultivate her understanding of Internal Arts and energy transmission:
Sifu Mark Rasmus ('Elastic Force Qi Gong' and 'Hermetics'), Sifu Ludovic (Taoist 'Peng Tzu' lineage) - with whom she still studies today - and "Howard" Huai Hsiang Wang (of 'Prana Dynamics', Taiwan)
Now, after some further years of deep immersion, she can testify that she finds these esteemed teachers and the practices they have generously transmitted to incorporate all the essential aspects and components of 'activating meditation as a state and tool for daily life enhancement' - by bringing awareness into movement and action, whilst at the same time cultivating and activating energy for balance and physical pliancy, and interactions with the world and all the Beings in it. It gives an access point to specific sets of frequency bands - the Akashic stillness and Non-Dual Light; as well as Vital life force; and the Astral body, where the 'flow state' resides, and through which emotional blockages can be transmuted, and the Heart can be opened - to promote Connection, Creativity, and Love in form Manifest...
~ It is truly a Way to live and move as 'Being the teaching' ~
MEDITATION:
The most persistent path, method and passion throughout
Trillium's life has been meditation
She has received many initiations and (secret) meditation instructions by teachers throughout her life. Perhaps most significantly the direct guidance of Lama B Alan Wallace (directly initiated by, and 10 years personal interpreter for, His Holiness the Dalai Lama) during a year-long silent retreat, as well as other esteemed teachers within the Tibetan Buddhist lineage;
and in the Zen; Advaita; Hindu, Kriya and Hermetics traditions
Trillium has enjoyed more than ten thousand hours of formal ‘on the cushion’ meditation practice, much of which has been completed in more than three dozen week-, month-, and year-long meditation retreats -
most of which have been undertaken in complete silence and solitude
Perhaps the most significant, was her participation in the 'Shamatha Project' longitudinal scientific study (spanning over a decade) researching the impact of meditation over a prolonged intensive period (more info can be found in the "Meditation" section of the website)
She has lived as a resident of several temples and ashrams over the course of her life - some of the longer visits were just under one year in the Mooji Advaita Ashram in Portugal and five months in the Shaolin Temple Europe
Trillium finds meditation to be an essential gateway to clear seeing
PRANIC LIVING and DARKROOMS:
Trillium has done many Ayurvedic Panchakarma retreats and other body cleanses as part of her own inner healing work; as well as undertaken and instructed several Darkroom retreats, which she now promotes and guides for others to experience and benefit. Following trainings with Akahi & Camilla, and legendary Jasmuheen, Trillium practiced 'Pranic Living’ during several periods in her life, where instead of food intake, one cultivates an 'Alpha Brainwave' state as much as possible, enabling increase of the p
ranic (life force) content of the body mind complex and utilizing practices of mindfulness, sungazing, pranayama and other (secret) techniques bestowed from practicing Masters, in place of intake of food (and water) as sustenance for certain periods of time
