Matthew and Hiromi Sieradski give a brief introduction to Sacred Touch Biodynamic Craniosacral Work. Matt and Hiromi practice and teach this gentle and profound form of bodywork that is based on orienting to the dynamic stillness at the source of the Breath of Life. This work is particularly helpful in healing trauma and integrating the nervous system into greater resilience and self-regulation.

Matthew Sieradski shares some thoughts on love for mystical contemplation.

Matt shares a brief intro to Heaven Earth Circle followed by the story of his spiritual awakening in 2009 and how he has come to understand the importance of healing and embodiment as the process of integration and deepening of nondual spiritual awareness. He ends with a brief instruction for meditative self inquiry into the experience of suffering to discover the inherent redemptive love that underlies the cosmos, our body and our mind.

Heaven Earth Circle teacher Matthew Sieradski demonstrates the Hunyuan Taiji Jian or straight-sword form at the Oregon Asian Celebration, July 29th, 2023, in Eugene, Oregon.
The straight sword or “jian” in Chinese is considered to cultivate spirit. The sword that Matt is using in this demonstration is forged using a traditional sanmai (three layer) construction and the edge is razor sharp. We must be very alert to safely handle such a blade!
