Hi Everyone!First of all I'd like to thank you for reading this message. You could be anywhere in the world, but you have chosen to be here, and I totally appreciate that. I truly believe that there is a reason and a rhyme behind all connections that we make in this world. I invite you to subscribe to my blog for perhaps a "metaphoric" perception you may not have tried ... Use what you can from this site and toss the rest....:)
My name is Scott Austin Martin and I have spent time as a therapist and a healer. I spent my twenties very ambitiously and at 25 owned my own Manufactured Housing Dealership, then became a Regional Director of a National Mortgage Bank, then opened my own Commercial Mortgage Company. At 30, I got kind of spiritual and closed it all down and drove a cab for 7 months in Austin, Texas because it allowed me to talk to people about their beliefs. I then took some time to find myself and eventually went back to school and became a Neuromuscular Massage Therapist. That led me down an amazing road of self discovery and I went on to become a Licensed Massage Therapy Instructor and a Traditional Usui Reiki Master. I moved away from the cities and the energy that they often emit and began an intensive meditation discovery process that made me realize and experience specific sensitivities to the environment and others around me.
I obtained a great peace.
There are many ways to this peace. I can certainly recommend hundreds of books, meditations, and experiences to go through to obtain this peace. All of these eventually lead to the same place which if you're not there already you can get to today...
“Let go.â€
Let go of the oars and quit trying to fight the upstream current. Don’t turn your boat around, just let go and the flow will turn you all on its own accord.
KNOWING SILENCE is a term I use to describe a state of "being" that through aspects like Vipassana meditation and others I have had the great fortune to experience. This state of "being" is in simple terms "being in the now". Not in the noisy mental workings of the past and future...but right here...right now. It is a place that our society keeps us conditioned not to be in...but when we tame the monkey of our mind that is always reaching out for a new thought, we obtain a great peace.
The peace lasts when we can learn to accept the world as it is and not as we would want it to be. This is a very difficult thing to do even if you know where the peace actually is...mostly because we are all so addicted to our existing conditioned thoughts and emotions....all products of an intangible ego that holds on so that it can be real when in fact it never can be.
I could try to say all types of things that make me seem wise or smart, but I am more of a student than a teacher. Although I may be able to direct you into paths that I have taken if you have an interest, I encourage everyone to continue to explore their own inner awareness and goals. All the answers we need are already inside...others can only give us comparisons or metaphors that assist us in seeing that.
As my own new discoveries have occurred, it has led me to go back to college after 17 years to study psychology. I hope to continue and get my Masters and bring my own brand of Wholistic awareness to mainstream psychology someday in a clinically accepted and proven format. It'll happen, keep watching!
My wife and I now host a Monthly Full Moon meditation on our family farm in Lindale, Texas ( a very special 180 acre landscaping tree farm with a very healing energy). I also volunter organize the Tyler Integrated Wellness Group which you can join on the link above left. If you’re ever in the area, please come and join our gathering(s)
Namaste & Warmest Regards,
