Summary

The journey for Canela Michelle towards this realization was happening long before she had heard of the potential of consciously living in the stateless state of Being. Once she heard that this was possible in 1995, the path was lit up and speedy until she ended up in Satsang with Isaac Shapiro in February 1998. By this time her inner and outer explorations were deep and subtle yet her explorations of what she perceived seemed to only serve to expand all of that even more…so she simply asked Isaac: ‘Is it beyond perception?’ He answered ‘Yes’ and in that moment, what was there previously as some sort of structure fell away, leaving only ‘What Is’ at play and Awareness being aware of That. Canela Michelle is an expression of Awareness in each moment…just like everyone else is whether they recognize it yet or not (as is all that appears – air, body, thought, chair, taste, etc.). Her love is in supporting people to relax open to this Truth. Supporting them to allow themselves to not only recognize Love but to experience That; simply as it is, dependant on nothing at all. Awareness is the constant in the midst of the play of events. What rises, or appears in each moment might feel or look like an obstacle to Love, yet when a person opens to directly experiencing whatever that is, it shifts, changes and merges with all that is…no longer appearing as if it were an obstacle. There is nowhere to get to, you are already ‘Here’; it’s simply a matter of ‘meeting’ whatever might be appearing, right here, right now, in each moment. Once explored, it is recognized only as an invitation, from your Self to your Self…Love beckoning you hither. The support is offered in Satsang Meditation gatherings, individual & couple Satsang Sessions in person or by phone, and in her first book: Right Here, Right Now Meditations: Satsang Invitations for Expanding Awareness (Volume 1) Canela's website. 2nd interview with Canela Canela in BatGap panel discussion at Sofia University Transcript of this interview Interview recorded 12/18/2011 YouTube Video Chapters: 00:00:00 - Introduction to Canella Michelle Myers and her spiritual awakening journey 00:04:20 - Opening to Psychic Information 00:07:48 - Psychic Detective Work 00:11:58 - Overcoming Addiction through Awareness 00:16:14 - Exploring the Spiritual Search 00:19:43 - The Experience of Emotions and Being with Others 00:22:39 - Dissolving the Belief in a Separate Self 00:25:42 - Embracing Self-Care and Love Within 00:29:08 - Finding Comfort in Being Held 00:32:38 - Meeting Your Own Longings 00:35:52 - Falling and Being with the Moments 00:39:57 - The Solid Part that's Not Solid 00:44:23 - Learning Empathy and Caring from Church 00:48:49 - Healing from Childhood Anger and Guilt 00:52:39 - A Shift into White Light 00:55:38 - A Profound Sensitivity 00:59:10 - The attunement and initiation process 01:02:02 - Paul Lowe and the Invitation to Explore Fear and Attraction 01:04:38 - Exploring Boundaries and Uncovering Phobias 01:07:48 - Letting Go of My Life 01:10:23 - Letting Go and Following the Call Inside 01:12:41 - The Power of Renunciation 01:15:24 - The Transition to North Vancouver 01:20:17 - The Awakening and the Big Kahuna 01:22:24 - Opening Doors of Awareness 01:24:41 - The Endless Exploration 01:27:54 - Angels Holding Me Close 01:30:02 - Following the Call of the Heart 01:32:46 - The Dance of Absolute and Relative Perspectives 01:36:32 - The Expression of God through Instruments

0:28.9	My name is Rick Archer, and my guest this week or today is Canella Michelle Myers from North Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. So welcome, Michelle.
0:40.3	Thank you, Rick. It's good to be here with you this morning.
0:44.3	Yeah. So Michelle and I were talking a little bit, Canella. You go by Canella, really.
0:51.3	Either one works.
0:52.3	Oh, okay. You don't care?
0:53.3	Okay. We were talking before go by Canella, really. Neither one works. Oh, okay. You don't care? So, no.
0:54.8	Okay.
0:56.6	We were talking before the interview about what we were going to talk about, and we thought
1:02.1	we'd give you a whole sort of overview of both, you know, Canella's personal life story,
1:09.6	particularly as it pertains to spiritual awakening, and then, you
1:13.6	know, an expression of what it is she likes to express in terms of knowledge, which some
1:18.9	teachers exclusively like to do one or the other, but I think having listened to Michelle quite
1:24.7	a bit in preparation for this interview, I find that she's comfortable with a wide range of expressions, and so we'll run the whole gamut.
1:32.3	So where would you like to start?
1:35.3	Oh, I don't know. How about a question?
1:38.3	Okay.
1:39.3	It's like, you know, from the vastness, pick something.
1:44.6	Yeah.
1:46.0	It's helpful.
1:52.8	So I would say, I mean, most of us, you're younger than I am, I grew up in the 60s and kind of got onto kind of spirituality in the late 60s and, you know, through various
