The Dimension Approach

For our first in-person podcast ever, we dive into one of Lance's favorite metaphors -  the child and the dragon. This one has been especially helpful to Geoff in his own journey and we'll get into that in future episodes. Part 1, though, will lay out how the child and the dragon exemplify two sides of a dialectic within ourselves that we may consciously or unconsciously inhabit depending on the c...

As we dive deeper into the foundational assumptions of the Dimension Approach, Lance sheds some light on his understanding of consciousness. Consciousness, just like sunlight, has these powers. It doesn't just light our way; it effects the very thing it's looking at. Thank you for listening! If you have any questions or comments, please contact us at dimensionapproachmedia@gmail.com.

Throughout our time working on the podcast, Lance has been working to create written descriptions of the approach for the website. That ongoing work has been part of the conversations this season, and this week's episode focuses on some foundational assumptions about consciousness. They're not specific to the Dimension Approach, but they are essential to understanding it. If you have any questions...

This episode is a conversation that's a bit wide-ranging; we discuss dialectics, specifically love and hate. And then we get into a discussion of the concept of ideal blueprint on the Dimension Approach and somehow end at artificial intelligence. Hope you enjoy, and thanks for listening! If you have any questions or comments, please contact us at dimensionapproachmedia@gmail.com.

Our final episode on the 0 chakra - we do an interesting experiential exercise around 0 chakra and the connection to ground. We also go into a bit more detail on what the individual experience was for each of us. Thanks for listening! If you have any questions or comments, please contact us at dimensionapproachmedia@gmail.com.

Wait, wait, we forgot one! It turns out chakras are more like integers than whole numbers, and there's a 0 chakra. Geoff gives Lance a hard time for leaving it out as it turns out it's pretty important to development. Thanks for listening! If you have any questions or comments, please contact us at dimensionapproachmedia@gmail.com.

The discussion of psychotherapy in the Dimension Approach continues, and we touch on some classic themes like anxiety and reprogramming vs deprogramming. Lance explains how anxiety is a system overwhelm when facing energy that can't be metabolized. Thanks for listening! If you have any questions or comments, please contact us at dimensionapproachmedia@gmail.com.

In this episode Lance discusses general theory about psychotherapy and how awareness of subtle energy is a key part of psychotherapy in the Dimension Approach. By bringing awareness to the energetic dynamics between client and practitioner, there is greater opportunity for change in existing patterns and structures. Thanks for listening!

Unconsciousness is the result of nonacceptance, and ego mind wants to destroy the thing that's not been accepted. But if you want to eradicate it, accept it via consciousness. Conscious contact is a celebration after the success of the process - an acknowledgement or a reunion. It's a kind of validation for the work put in. Thanks for listening! If you have any questions or comments, please contac...

Welcome back! We talk a bit about the dynamic between conscious mind and ego mind in the dimension approach before we discuss conscious mirroring in detail. Transference is a big part of mirroring - whatever is there is getting mirrored, however great or awful. But once it's mirrored we can begin to disidentify with it. Thanks for listening! If you have any questions or comments, please contact us...

We talk conscious containment, and it gets a bit vulnerable at times. Conscious containment allows for the energy that's being allowed to move via conscious holding to begin to cohere. But that coherence can go in unexpected directions. Thanks for listening! If you have any questions or comments, please contact us at dimensionapproachmedia@gmail.com.

The methodology for the Dimension Approach, as we've discussed before, is 5 different ways of consciously attending to a dimension of experience. This week's conversation dives into conscious witnessing and differentiating being aware of something vs being conscious of it and the state shifts associated with that differentiation. Thanks for listening! If you have any questions or comments, please...

We continue our discussion of structures with some practical examples of The Dimension Approach at work in bringing conscious attention to the structures we live by. And we get a little more insight into the golf example Lance goes back to time and time again. It was consciousness all along. (Part 5) Thanks for listening! Please send any questions or comments to dimensionapproachmedia@gmail.com

As we continue defining the Dimension Approach we spend a little more time discussing structures - ego structures and conscious structures. One tag line for describing the Dimension Approach is "Conscious attention to the structures we live by." We are all operating out of structures, if we recognize it or not, and bringing conscious attention to those structures is key to awakening, development,...

We continue our conversations defining the Dimension Approach, in the context of its aims (awakening, healing, development, and performance). This episode focuses on development especially in the context of ego and conscious structures. That leads, as it often does, to a lot more questions about structures, so the next couple episodes will dive into structural theory in more detail (Part 3). Thank...

Lance goes into further detail on the development of the Dimension Approach's aims and methodology as the conversation shifts from awakening to healing (Part 2). Thanks for listening! Please send any questions or comments to dimensionapproachmedia@gmail.com

We're diving into a multi-part discussion defining the dimension approach. After a year's worth of conversations, we try to lay out the key tenets of the approach - its aims (awakening, healing, development, and performance) and methodology (conscious witnessing, holding, containment, mirroring, and contact). (Part 1) Thanks for listening! Please send any questions or comments to dimensionapproach...

Our deep dive into subtle energy concludes with a discussion of the 5th, 6th, and 7th chakras (Part 5 of 5). Thanks for listening! Please send any questions or comments to dimensionapproachmedia@gmail.com

We continue our discussion of "waking up" vs "growing up" in relation to the chakras and development. That requires clarifying  nonpersonal vs transpersonal - concepts that can sometimes get conflated. In the context of personal vs transpersonal, we get back to discussing the "higher" 5th-7th chakras as well. (Part 4 of 5). Thanks for listening! Please send any questions or comments to dimensionap...

The shift from 3rd to 4th chakra merits a deeper discussion, so we revisit the idea of 4th dimension vs 3rd dimension (4th chakra vs 3rd chakra).  Lance describes some of his own 4th chakra experiences and the ways in which his visual field shifts. He also discusses how the approach shifts when working with clients' different chakras. (Part 3 of 5). Thanks for listening! Please send any questions...

Lance and Geoff continue their discussion of subtle energy and the chakras.
