The Dimension Approach

Much to Lance's chagrin, we're talking about identity again. But if it wasn't so confusing, it'd be easy to disidentify! When we're overwhelmed, what are we identified with? Our relationship to dimensions should be flexible and always shifting depending on the context. We want to be versatile in our mode and not so easily overwhelmed, and the dimension approach can help! Thanks for listening - ple...

Fighting against storms and currents, falling in the water, staring in the depths, floating, swimming, and becoming a fish - it's a wide-ranging metaphor of our relationship to water and what we allow in our conscious awareness. Becoming buoyant is an aspect of resilience - knowing the water you're in and holding the complexity of its depths without fear of being consumed by them - and it's a big...

Confused? Good! We're normally averse to the state of being confused, but in order to learn, adapt, and re-orient, we have to be able to tolerate confusion. When you're confused you can either identify with it (quick trip to madness), or if you let go of it there's more of an existential nothingness that starts to arise. But in the face of that existential nothingness there is a you that still exi...

Welcome back! This week's episode is a wide-ranging conversation touching on themes from the last few videos. Hope you enjoy! Please send any questions, comments, and insights to dimensionapproachmedia@gmail.com

Welcome back! This week's episode is on Armoring, and Lance sees it as literally as important as explaining the concept of temperature. Sometimes we're more comfortable or less comfortable, and it's related to our difficulty in allowing the truth of something. Everything is exactly as it should be - a wonderful, magnificent joke/creation/farce that is simultaneously deeply sacred, poignant, and me...

First in a multi-part series that gradually unfolds as a beautiful description of what brings each of us from origin to the present moment. What each of us is working against, unknowingly, is a culture that has put the conceptual mind on a pedestal, re-enforcing entanglement with the ego. But there are so many layers and energies operating from above and from below the conceptual mind; it's such a...

We all have patterns of orientation, anchoring, and identifying in relationship to different energy centers. We have state experiences related to each, and we have a level of consciousness at each. There are so many different combinations that can lead to very good or mediocre karaoke performances (context in the episode). Everything seems to be on its own trajectory for development and growth, an...

Welcome back to the Dimension Approach! In this episode Lance dives into a topic he's sometimes hesitant to discuss - his experience of higher dimensions that inform his practice. There are some relatable principles than can help differentiate between dimensions conceptually and experientially. If you have any questions or comments, please reach out at dimensionapproachmedia@gmail.com

Happy New Year, and welcome back to the Dimension Approach! This week's episode focuses on what it's like to actually access a dimension and what we can begin to notice in that process. We are unconsciously dependent on the reflections of our projections and the connections we do and do not make to the dimensions within ourselves. What are we blocking out? What are we attaching to? What are we rel...

Welcome back! This week's episode is an in-depth look at our many self-imposed obstacles to waking up. What do we bring with us from the past? What do we not acknowledge about the present? What do we expect of ourselves that we don't expect from others, and vice versa? It's all more complicated than any of us seem to be able to acknowledge, and maybe (definitely) we should take it easier on oursel...

Welcome back to the Dimension Approach! This week's conversation is a dive into the nature of empathy - the different means by which we can empathize with ourselves and others.

Then the conversation turns to the subtle complexities when we try to empathize wi...

Welcome back to the Dimension Approach! In this episode Lance gives some examples and details around the paradigm shifts necessary to do physical body work in the Dimension Approach. What we're orienting to, where we're anchoring, and how we're identifying impact our ability to recover from injuries and traumas. Hope you enjoy the discussion!

Apologies for the delay, we've had some technical issues this week! We continue discussing the dynamics of monads, dyads, and triads in relation to trauma. Lance uses this example to dive into how the Dimension Approach works and what some of the key aspects of the healing work are. Thank you for listening! Please send any questions or comments to dimensionapproachmedia@gmail.com

We start by discussing containers for experience which leads to tantrums. Tantrums takes us to developmental psychology, and that brings up monads and dyads. It's a fascinating dive into relationships and some interesting theories. Thank you for listening! Please send any questions or comments to dimensionapproachmedia@gmail.com.

Thanks for listening! This week's episode is about personality, ego, and character structure.

Spoilers in the title. We wrap our discussion on the child and dragon analogy. Lance goes into detail on the balance between love and hate in the psyche and the fear we have that love doesn't win, that the hate, the darkness, the evil will win in the end. Lance shares a deeply personal experience of grace in his life that revealed some truth about that struggle. Thank you for listening! Send any q...

Fun thoughts from this episode: When we orient to a duality, we're using our ego mind. Just because the light is turned on doesn't mean the darkness has gone away. Also, with our first in-person podcast we did our first in-person experiential exercise around consciousness and ego. Thanks for listening!
