Lionhearted™ –
Personal and Global Vision
At Lionhearted™ we are taking action to assist the creation of a RELAXATION REVOLUTION. Sounds a bit benign you think?
None of it! To undertake a RELAXATION REVOLUTION is to revolutionise our understanding of RELAXATION, to completely change our view or perception of RELAXATION, how it is defined, how it works, how it is achieved and the implications of this renewed understanding.
If we look at the common elements of the words RELAXATION and REVOLUTION they both begin with the prefix “RE”. This indicates that the activity or change that is happening again, with a direction..backwards. The prefix “RE” implies that the
something is changing to a pre-
place. There is energy shifting.
Literally the “IONs” are flowing.
When “IONs” flow the existing energetic state changes to another.
So, both REVOLUTION and RELAXATION have inherent within their definition an active change (energetic shift) to a pre-
It will come as no surprise that the term REVOLUTION inherently describes activity. If we break this word down then we can see that REVOLUTION is a label for the process of revolving.
Something that has placed within it the energy to enable a process to take place, for action to occur, to cycle an existing state to change or evolve into a different state, but a state that is familiar, that is known.
So, REVOLUTION is a precise word for describing fundamental or radical change, change at the very core of the issue undergoing REVOLUTION, actively.
So, what of RELAXATION? If we follow the same logic we did for REVOLUTION then RELAXATION must be the process or activity taken to move to a pre-
activity to change to the pre-
From a mix of different dictionaries on-
without much care, attention, or control, lacking firmness, slack, not strict, lacking precision, not taut, slipshod, negligent, neglectful, remiss, careless, heedless, unmindful, inattentive, slapdash, offhand, casual!
The only term that stands out to represent a positive outcome of
being “LAX” that is a potentially desirable state to achieve is “not
taut”. However, it is never very helpful to define something by
what it is not, so perhaps digging deeper into the very origins of
this word will help. “LAX” comes from the latin “Laxus” meaning:
wide, loose, open, spacious, roomy, free.
If we look at the absence of these conditions we get: narrow, tight, closed, compressed, confined, restricted.
So, from a body, mind and emotional system perspective the effect of RELAXATION can be defined as undertaking an activity that returns a system from a state where we are physically, mentally and emotionally narrow, tight, closed, compressed, confined and restricted, a state where our personal resources are not readily available (commonly known as “stressed”), to a previously known state that has attributes that are wide, loose, open, spacious, roomy and free. When our system of body, mind and emotions has these attributes then once again all our personal resources are available to flow. The personal benefits of RELAXATION then become clear.
We have recovered to a state where we are free once more to think, feel and act. We are refreshed, we have been restored. At our very core, we have recovered to our “rested best”.
We have undergone a personal RELAXATION REVOLUTION.
As Independent Therapists our journey into understanding the processes of RELAXATION has proven to be a personal REVOLUTION for us all. It has been a delightful REVELATION as well. Looking at the roots of this word too helps explain what has happened along the way.
The prefix and suffix are the same “RE”
and “ION” for all three terms and so REVOLUTION, RELAXATION and REVELATION have inherent within their definition an active change (energetic shift) to a pre-
Let us look at the element of the REVELATION not yet dealt with.
This is “VELA”. “VELA” has at its roots two well known terms…veil (or set of sails) and vehicle. We use the term REVELATION because in Lionhearted™ we now launch a
unique new (yet inherently ancient) vehicle for fine tuning an individual’s ability to relax deeply, to recover quickly and perform at their “rested best” and beyond.
Similarly at Lionhearted™ we help re-
surrounding other terms such as RECOGNITION, REALISATION, RESONATION and REBELLION.
Through a combination of Active Intensive Relaxation Bodywork and Coaching we have defined a model that can help an individual fine tune and sustain a healthy Central Nervous System. It can help transform the ability to think, feel and act
with presence, certainty and courage.
We have called this model the:
Lionhearted™ Reactivation Model
For someone to recover to their “rested best” it is not a result of the application of some random process, it is the application of a repeatable model.
At Lionhearted™ we provide consultation services that combine bodywork (using the FLOW Sequence™) and Coaching.
The Lionhearted™ Reactivation Model has at its very core the assurance of recovery to a known resourceful state through active intervention. We assist those who choose* to join the Pride, to recover to, and even exceed, their “rested best”. We guide them to personal mastery of the Art of RELAXATION itself.
So, join the Pride and you too can listen to your inner roar.
Together we will deliver a global RELAXATION REVOLUTION
one person at a time.
…… above all just love to Relax, there is no alternative.

*choose: To pick out (someone or something) as being the best or most appropriate of two or more alternatives.
Every time we make a choice we weigh up the relative values of two or more alternatives. When we cannot choose between the alternatives then a state of apparent balance exists. When we observe the natural world every system has a tendency
to revert back to balance, as if balance is an inherent universal principle. If we look at the modern world around us it is not difficult to see where systems are out of balance. It is safe to say that choices are being made all the time that create or sustain imbalance. Inequalities are rife in the modern world and are the consequence of human choices. So why do our choices result in imbalance, why are they contrary to Universal principles?
The Universe tends to balance and so if we are living in tune with the Universe then our world would also tend towards balance. It is not.
It appears that our decision making process has become distorted. Throughout the universe we see harmony, in the modern world we see discord. What is the origin of this distortion?
It is simply that we have accepted that the mind, a mechanism that makes these distorted choices, has the authority in our lives. It has become the centre of our identity and we have given it the responsibility to be the sole arbiter of our choices. The effects of this choice are clear. We feel separate from the world around us, others and wearily disconnected from ourselves as well. We have ceded authority for our lives to a mechanism that arbitrates on the same level as it operates, but doesn’t seem up to the job.
Is there an alternative?
There is……
“Beyond our place of right-
there is a field. I will meet you there.
When the soul lies down in that grass,
the world is too full to talk about.
Rumi
An interpretation of this poem by Rumi is helpful at this point.
He describes the process by which the mind operates. It polarises our thoughts, creates apparent choices and limits our world view.
We are bounded by a wall that defines the initial physical “field” and are disconnected from the neutrality and unity of the
Universe. Our decisions are distorted as a result and all the time we try to achieve balance, despite the underlying instability and vague nature of the bounded mind.
But, lie down in the other “field” our limitations disappear and we reconnect, it is boundless.
What is this other “field” he alludes to? It is the heart.
The apparent choices presented to us by the mind are false ones.
It is not for the mind, with which we have become to identify ourselves, to make those choices, but elsewhere, where the true authority lies. If we chose to drop our attention into the heart and identify with that then a whole new dynamic is set in train.
The heart has authority naturally over the mind and the mind is a slave to it. The mind is a mechanism through which the heart relates to the universe. The heart knows its priorities in promoting balance and the mind naturally follows. All of a sudden there is no right or wrong but appropriate decisions that seek harmony.
In the modern world we have merely got the relationship wrong. There is a hierarchy and that is of the heart over the mind. The heart is connected with our entire self and the mind with only the conscious part of it. The heart has access to the entire Universal Neutral Field and when we place our trust in it all of a sudden we find our place in the world, we are no longer fractured but whole and we are clear and certain of our sense of being -
When we choose to see the world through the lens of the heart we can also look through the lens of the mind, but this does not work in reverse. The mind cannot see (or feel) the heart.
This explains a lot.
When we trust the heart, we relax into the certainty of our existence and we have a precise and clear centre. We naturally migrate from doubting and trying all the time to trusting and assisting. When we operate from this centre we have found our place in the world, our anchor and we are grounded in our essence, connected to reality we are free to confidently and compassionately express it.
We find our Courage.
In summary, the mind presents us with apparent choices, that do not in reality exist and we are left perpetually trying to achieve balance through continuous and considerable effort. Whereas the path of the heart has no doubt and the mind wilfully and diligently processes the heart’s instructions. In truth the only choice we need consciously to make is the choice between heart and mind – decide for yourself which one is in charge? When you have made that choice and revert back to the heart as the sovereign, and the mind as the mechanistic slave, you will quickly recover your trust in it.
Through choosing clarence** you transcend the effort of trying to achieve balance and you return to trusting your centre, your very essence.
**Clarence -
Relaxation Revolution:
Clarence -
Whilst Brilliance and Radiance are effects, Clarence is evidently a causative agent.
Clarence is the lens through which we can choose to experience our world, to become firmly rooted and grounded in it. It is both a state of being and the bridge that connects us to our very essence. It is the vehicle through which our true nature and purpose can consciously, consistently and courageously flow.
Clarence can be realised through experiencing deep relaxation and is borne out of the certainty of being achieved by evolving beyond the perpetually, limiting, balancing act of mind and ceding authority to our heart centre instead.
No amount of effort or focus in the mind can match the clarity and certainty achieved when experiencing life through the lens of heart. Once realised and trusted Clarence is both, the vehicle of ease through which an Lionhearted™ can deploy mastery of the
art, and Clarence is also the outcome for the recipient at their “rested best”. Achieving and deploying Clarence is simply the most resourceful state available to you. With Clarence you will have the clarity and courage to achieve your heart’s desire.
Global Clarence is both the vision and mission of Lionhearted™ it is the core driver and vehicle behind the RELAXATION REVOLUTION.
Join us……..just love to relax. Claro.
