2016-8 monthly call: What gets in the way you being your essential self?
King's Chair (Dmitri):

Content (Tom):
https://s3.amazonaws.com/llk/2016-8/2016-08-31_content.mp3
Here are the questions from the process Tom ran:
β- What's the next step for you in living into your essential Self (your Sovereign Self)? - What shows up to block/resist that inside of you?
Magician round 1: What's your judgment about that dynamic?
warrior round 1: What's the payoff you get for having that dynamic?
Lover round 1: What's the feeling you get when you see this going on?
Sovereign round 1: If you were to change this so you could express your essence more consistently, what kind of support would you need to do that?
Magician round 2: What's the belief you have about essence vs. the "persona/ego"?
Warrior round 2: What kind of risk would there be for you to actually be in your sovereign self more?
Lover round 2: If this way of creating a limiting persona was taught to you by someone in your life, who might have been?
King round 2: How is the process that you are in now, in the LLK, calling forth from your soul, a way to work with this? How is it motivating you or moving you in the way you want to move to create more sovereignty in your life?
2016-7 monthly call: "Handling Common 'King's Chair' Problems."
We strongly encourage you to have a daily "King's Chair" practice, in which you open to your Inner Blessing Current and experience blessing for you.
In this call we discussed 5 common errors people make in their King's Chair practice—errors that stop your ability to feel the Blessing Current that is available for you.
Here are the recordings:

The 5 "King's Chair" problems:
https://s3.amazonaws.com/llk/2016-7/2016-07-27_content_dmitri.mp3
A special visualization that walks you through the "Diagnostic Questions" to help you break through any "King's Chair" problems:
https://s3.amazonaws.com/llk/2016-7/2016-07-27_kings_chair_problems_dmitri.mp3 (10 minutes)
Here are the problems and diagnostic questions:
1) Turning to false blessing.
If you are believing in a heartbreaking fate, you are believing in a non-blessing "blessing."
Ask yourself, "Is this really the highest most merciful Blessing Source my heart can conceive of relating to?"
2) Not being honest about your own brokenness.
If you aren't being honest about where you are, and if you aren't asking for blessing exactly the way you are, that will block the flow.
Ask yourself, "How does the blessing current feel about me, even when I'm feeling this way/even when I'm like that?"
3) Chasing the blessing.
If you are trying to "effort" your way into feeling blessing, that will also block the flow by making blessing conditional—"Once I've pursued it hard enough."
Try saying, "I can't come to you, blessing current, you have to come to me."
4) Not listening with your body.
You need to feel your blessing as a physical EXPERIENCE.
If you are getting words, ask yourself, "What is the energy like, that these words are riding in on?"
5) Not giving it time.
Experiencing blessing is like the chemical process of dissolving something in a solution. It takes as long as it takes for the "solution" to break down whatever it is breaking down.
Give yourself permission to take time to let the blessing soak into you.

- Content: "How to make daily requests of the Divine for what you long for." (35:00) βSee notes immediately below:
The Steps of Making Requests of the Divine, as covered in the audio:
Make a written request for each area of your life:
Health, Finances, Relationships, Spirituality
1) Ask for the thing. What are you asking for?
2) Ask for the ability to see the opportunities the Divine gives, and to take proper action. "Please give me the ability to see the opportunities and to take proper action toward that end."
3) Ask with humility. Ask for it to be given to you if it is good for you, to be kept away from you if it is bad for you. "I think I want this, but if it is bad for me, please keep it away from me."
4) Feel the response from the Divine about, "is it possible?" Ask, "from the Divine point of view, is it possible for me?" Or ask, "Is it true that Universe is constructed so I can't have this?" For more help with this step, see Dmitri's article here.
5) Give gratitude and thanks.
Write one of these for each major area of your life, and review it during your King's Chair time.

2016-5 monthly call audio
If you only have King/Lover energy online, you'll have vision for your life, but you will end up living in hope that the vision will come true.
If you only have Magician/Warrior energy online, you'll work, but with the uninspiring goals of survival and momentary pleasure
In this month's call, I share how you can use "affirmations" to bring King/Lover and Magician/Warrior together as a force-multiplier in your life.

- King's Chair Visualization by Dmitri
2016-10 monthly call audio
You probably remember Tom and me talking about the two tasks of the King:
Being able to "tune in" to the Inner Blessing Current, and
Being able to bring that Blessing to the parts of you that need it.
This month's call was about a third important task of the King:
3) Being able to bring that Blessing to The visions that you have for your life.
The King knows that "he and the land are one."
So he knows that he needs to be able to Bless the experience of having his vision fulfilled, before it is fulfilled in reality.
Experiencing that Blessing of vision changes the King for the better—and that automatically changes his world.
