SE Power Dynamics

Given the potency of this work, I recognize the responsibility I hold, not only as the founder of Source Embodiment but as someone called to empower others to carry this transmission with integrity. Every facilitator here has gone through three months of immersive training and shadow work through our Phase 1 and 2 trainings before becoming eligible for our Phase 3 Facilitator Training. Phase 3 is a six-month journey of energetic transmission, practicum, mentorship, and direct feedback. This is not a quick, one-week “teacher training.” It is a deep commitment to cultivating coherence, alignment, and the capacity to hold others with depth and discernment over time.

Unlike most energy modalities that train facilitators to transmit a standardized frequency, our system honors evolution and diversity by supporting each facilitator to open their own soul channel to ensure the transmission remains alive, authentic, and sourced from their unique truth.

I have always been a skeptic of old-school hierarchical guru power dynamics. My vision is a heterarchical structure where I am surrounded by spiritually mature colleagues, each embodying their own Soul’s unique expression, in a community of exchange where we have just as much to learn from each other as we do to share.

To ensure the longevity and positive impact of our community, we hold each other accountable, not only to our own comprehensive Code of Conduct, but also to the ethical standards of the Association for Spiritual Integrity and to our internal Governance Council, where even I am held to the same standards as everyone else.

It is an honor and a privilege to be in this position of trust. Bearing witness to the profound transformations, empowerment, and realizations that unfold in our participants is one of my greatest joys. I am committed to holding this role in a way that allows me to keep loving what I do for decades to come. This work continues to shape me, humble me, and teach me. I trust the facilitators listed here to meet you with that same depth of devotion. - Justin Hartery LMFT

Source Embodiment & Palistine

If it's not already clear, The Source Embodiment Process is all about liberating our life-force from the conditioned contractions we've taken on through our lives (and from our ancestors) in order to live from our wholeness and Soul's purpose. Speaking not just as a licensed trauma therapist, or spiritual teacher, but also as thinking and feeling human, I firmly believe that if we honor the embodied flow of life, not just in ourselves, but all beings, we can more easily be who we are fully here to be and serve how we are here to serve in a reciprocal relationship to the creative forces of nature that sustain us. If enough of us walk this way as a collective, we will redirect the destructive and extractive forces of the modern world to create a generative future for all. 

Personally speaking, I do my very best to live from these values, and I feel it deeply when I see others, who lack my privileges, are denied their agency and choice to live in the embodiment of their liberated life-force. Earlier today, the International Court of Justice has recognized evidence of genocide in Gaza. We know, of course, that Hamas has not respected the life-force of Israelis either, but with over 100,000 innocent people (mostly women and children) that are now either dead or critically wounded, this ruling finally makes it absolutely clear to the world what has already been clear for millions of Palestinians. Though the ICJ's ruling is a small victory worth celebrating, unfortunately Israel has declared that they will not acknowledge it. Right now, they only way this will end is if the US withdraws its military support of Israel which of course is funded by our tax dollars.  

As a spiritual teacher some may prefer I keep politics out of my messaging. Yes, what I speak of is challenging and a departure from the tone I usually write from, however, I know within in each of you lies a strength and capacity far beyond what we could ever know. I also know you have already survived much worse than this blog, and are capable of meeting this moment in history with the courage and presence of Source itself. 

I write all this in solidarity with the people of Gaza, not just because my heart shatters for them, but also because I believe that spirituality without an embodied human response to genocide undermines it's ability to truly liberate those who practice it. This only serves to create a greater separation from reality and the truth of our being, resulting in a very subtle yet dangerous bypass that ultimately continues to serve and accelerate the very extractive and divisive forces at odds with life on earth that we seek to radically transform. It does this by using the resource of agreeable, spiritual states of consciousness to anesthetize ourselves from events in the world that we might otherwise follow the impulse of our aliveness into action and actually do something about.

To be clear, I'm not advocating to blindly follow your impulses into danger or falling into the “savior's” trap of the drama triangle. What I am advocating for is the engagement and integration of both our spiritual and human being-ness, bringing our discernment and wisdom online equally with our responsive, agile, feeling hearts & bodies. 

Source Embodiment is a Non-Dual path, which means that nothing is outside of Source and that all human experience can be fuel for the Self-realization process. I pray this horrifying chapter in our history can be our collective fuel. Destruction is just as much a part of the “All” as creation and each are essential to come to terms with on the spiritual journey. However, as a trauma informed, somatic path we also recognize that experiences, such as violence, that fragment the self and disregulate the body are not ultimately conducive to our embodiment of wholeness.

As our world continues to polarize, S.E. does not engage an escapist, renunciate or transcendental path. Rather true embodied “ascension” requires the descent of our higher self, ever more fully into our bodies. This is because as long as we have bodies, we are still responsible for maintaining a healthy planet to sustain them. It's only by rooting down, that a tree reaches its leaves to the sky. In this way, I believe that reaching for and living from The Source of Life Within is a Revolutionary Act that the Earth is asking each one of us to make.
