What inspires you about The Form Reality Practice?
I am totally inspired by The Form in its capacity to be the bridge between the profound nature of the Authentic Self and an apparently ordinary human life. Through the movements it reveals the true expansiveness and depth of who I am, demonstrating the potential to create life from an unlimited place. It teaches me how to embrace fully my humanness whilst growing beyond it. I know that The Form is an evolutionary instrument to grow consciousness within all humanity.
How long have you been practicing The Form?
Since 1999
What drew you to The Form originally?
My Being drew me to Bernie Prior’s teaching. The Form was a natural evolution within that.
How has The Form changed you, your life and relationships?
The Form shows me how to engage life from a new place, to let my heart and true inspiration lead the way. There is honesty and tenderness within that has great strength. It shows me that to open my heart is the way to grow, no matter how painful it may appear. I am constantly surprised by the transformation of expression and connection. It arises from that place within that I know to be already complete yet which is constantly evolving as a passionately inspired and engaged life, more open loving relationships and true self love.
What inspires you about teaching The Form?
To teach The Form as a practice for conscious evolution is a true privilege. It demonstrates a conscious way of life that is tangible, not as concept but as direct embodied experience. Students leave the courses changed – open, inspired and connected to a deeper place within. This transformation inspires me utterly as I know it is the key to the transformation of humanity and a new way of being for us all.
If you are teaching The Form with your own modality, share how you combine your modality and The Form.
In 'The Bridge to Conscious Loving' Courses I explore with participants how The Form demonstrates the potential of conscious relating on every level - from relationship to inner experience (for example: thoughts or feelings) to authentic relating within partnership.

What inspires you about The Form – Reality Practice?
The Form is a living set of dynamic movements that is always new and that can, at any time, transit into deeper new dimensions of reality
Since 2002
I saw it is a vehicle for transformation and deepening realisations
It has changed me profoundly in all aspects of my life. Latent, potent abilities are now expressing in form of living life.
There is a continuing deepening and learning for the teacher teaching The Form and inspiration from seeing others being touched deeply by the teaching.
It is difficult to separate ‘own’ modality with The Form as it dovetails invisibly. The focus has been on deep grounding through body awareness, harnessing the mind into body conscious movements, dropping beyond body-mind.

What inspires you about The Form - Reality Practice?
Its simplicity and directness make it a practice for anyone and everyone. Yet it keeps moving on to another level. After 10 years of practicing I am still discovering its power and potential to transform.
I first encountered The Form in 1999 in a taster workshop with Bernie Prior. Then I attended my first retreat and learned the whole Form in 2001.
I was initially drawn through the teaching of Bernie Prior. I did not totally understand what he spoke of at times, but it resonated deeply. Being inspired by his teaching naturally led me to The Form. The practice of The Form began to integrate my understanding of what he was teaching and how it was related to my own life, and that continues today.
Wow, where to start? This teaching and the practice of The Form has transformed my life totally. All of my relationships (including that with myself) are in a different place than they were last year, never mind 10 years ago. There is openness to life as it is and this manifests as less disturbance in the mental and emotional fields when life does not look the way I would like it to look. In this deeper ground of being, I am learning to trust and respond more freely to the deepest impulse from within and watch in wonder as the new unfolds continually in a flow of new life and new opportunities. The practice of The Form facilitates this.
In teaching The Form I am inspired by the prospect of sharing a journey in which we all grow together at whatever ‘level’ we are at. As each participant grows and goes out and touches others in their lives with the new that is coming into being, there is the potential to transform whole groups into a new way of life.
As a childbirth educator, I would love to run workshops for parents-to-be to learn The Form as a tool for both preparing for childbirth and for enhancing their ability to move into their life as parents in a conscious and empowered way. I also have an opportunity to teach parenting and life skills in prisons and can see that The Form has the potential to open people to a new place within themselves and transform their lives.

It is such a practical tool for transformation. It shows me exactly where I am in my life and opens that up to a new and deeper potential. It is simply beautiful and beautifully simple but amazingly powerful.
Since 2000.
I saw it being danced at a Mind Body Spirit show in Dublin and some place inside just said “YES!”
Totally!!
All my life I asked “Who am I? What is this life all about? Through the practice of The Form and sitting with the Master those questions have been answered. My zest and passion for life has been restored. I am deeply grateful for this great gift.
Watching other people give themselves fully to this practice, their lives being transformed by this is truly beautiful. It is teaching and growing me rapidly and deeply and inspires me to give even more. I am inspired to stay on the edge as a Form Teacher knowing The Form has the potential to create a whole new humanity living on this planet and an end to its destruction and suffering.

In all my searching I feel that I have finally arrived home. I was always searching for something. There is nowhere else to go! Love for truth.
When I look at The Form it in its true place then the answer must be eternally. I first learnt The Form as a practice in 2000.
Totally. There is true enjoyment of life’s ever-changing forms. Life is effortless and inspired, a real adventure. There is a gentle tenderness and radical direct honesty opening when transformation is happening. I know Love to be my expression as the Feminine, arising from That which I am beyond gender, pure awareness within all expression and forms.
Seeing individuals open, recognize who they really are and how The Form is relevant to their everyday life. It thrills me when an individual discovers The Form revealing an unconscious movement. Then I know The Form is seen as living reality and not merely a beautiful practice.

Asiima is a Facilitator of The Form in New Zealand. He lives and works at the Spiritual Human Evolution Centre in Christchurch, New Zealand.
Throughout life I have explored many things and all of them turned out to be limited. The electronic keyboard I had when I was young could only play so many sounds, and so many notes… I grew bored with it, transcended it… wanted for the bigger keyboard with more sounds, more potential for expression, MORE…
This continued throughout my life – a search for something that could offer unlimited experience, though I didn’t know it at the time. I began, and eventually left many studies, jobs and spiritual paths…
Then I was blessed to find Bernie Prior and to learn The Form…
What began as a ‘slow dance around a person seated on a chair’ became a tango with the universe, exploding into my entire life in an ever deepening, ever expanding experience of transformation…
It is an ongoing discovery that The Form grows with me, an open practice offering ever deeper experience. I know now that the ‘unlimited’ that I sought is my own core nature. The great beauty is that The Form continues to show me how to live inspired and unlimited within the apparent limitations of everyday world.
Since 2006.
Life and Love and Luck!
For a long time I lived painfully locked in a struggle be free of the world and the mind – and across my life since childhood this took many different shapes – certainly each was an evolution from the last, and bore a greater degree of complexity and of consciousness, but shared a common unchanging tendency: I was always trying to escape.
My experience and discoveries through the practice of The Form in the last four years have inspired me to give my life to a radically new direction; giving away the ‘me-centrededness’ of trying to be free by ‘escaping’… This naturally fueled a vertical inner-evolution transcending past patterning and an ultimate discovery of the ever-present Good within. It is the actual discovery that at core I am already free.
I am discovering from the inside out how to live within the same life of the same man without escaping, but as the Good that is my deepest knowing of myself. With great joy and energy I am learning what it is to simply shine this Good beyond all situational or positional logic, to shine because that is what I am made for.
In relation to those close to me that means a choice to transcend old familiarities in a moment and to address arising patterning without trying to escape.
In my relationships I am now finding myself authentically being myself, learning to be unswayed by the impressions and imprints of the world and the past while fully experiencing them. I am discovering Asiima to be a shining, joyful and inspired person. I’m less and less concerned with what the situation or communication is, and more and more with being in it as all that I am, to act and communicate from the depth of Good I am knowing.
The Form is the most precious gift that I have to offer to another. In teaching I know I am contributing to what is real and good on earth. And it is an awesome opportunity to grow beyond my known structures. It inspires me hugely seeing The Form working in the lives of others.

The fact that it is an ongoing discovery. No two times are ever the same. This fact, in my experience, has enabled me to let go of the conditioned way of knowing and living, and discover a natural way of knowing and engaging life. The link between movement and deepening inner stillness, is something that I have been able to practically apply to all areas of my life.
I have been practicing The Form now for 12 years, after being on the initial Form workshop.
Life. A set of circumstances led to a meeting with Bernie, 13 years ago, where he asked me if I knew what he did. I didn't and said so. In that meeting, he shared with me The Form in it's early unfolding, in a one to one session. The only thing that he said to me was, "to look into the blackness with my eyes closed, feel in my hands and feet". An hour later, I walked out of that session and something had come to rest within me. Over the following years, my involvement with Bernie and the Form developed.
In every way conceivable. Not once, but many times over. In fact, now changes take place so fast, that the life that I identified with last week, yesterday, the last minute; are revealed in the growing consciousness to be illusions and the only life worth living is the life lived consciously now from the unknowable knowing from within. As Bernie shares The Form is the tool for "Spiritual Human Evolution", and what it has shown me is how to be a true Human being living on this planet, with full awareness of something far more vast than the simple human form. One of the key things it has revealed to me is a deep gratitude for the opportunity to have a human body and the ability to be able to relate in this life, and it brings a richness beyond imagination to the most ordinary situations I find myself in.
It was the natural next step, in this ongoing self discovery and simply that if you find something that frees your own heart, why wouldn't you share it with others. My experience of teaching The Form to date, is that it constantly deepens my understanding of how life truly is, and in fact as a teacher of The Form, I am as much in the discovery and unfoldment as the "students" and in that way we are all assisting each other to a new stage in our own evolution and raising awareness globally. What better way can there be to live. It doesn't require me to be anything other than myself.
Although I don't "teach" The Form within the financial consultancy work that I do, The Form seemlessly is more and more guiding how I approach situations and relate with people. It is evolving at the moment, and may soon find a way of fully integrating within this area as well, but for the moment it appears in ease with which the new and simple flow appears within a seemingly unrelated discipline.

Lisa is one of four Senior Teachers who teach the entire movement of The Form, Parts 1-5.
What inspires me is that it is for everyone; it is simplicity itself; it’s so completely natural, as natural as taking a breath.
Its total demonstration of life, love and truth is astounding.
I love that anyone can be touched by its profundity and that all of humanity benefit from its presence.
I have practiced The Form for around 6 years.
I can’t say that I was originally drawn to The Form, I was drawn to the realization (of Bernie Prior) and The Form was something that although I enjoyed its practice I didn’t have any understanding of. My experience now is that The Form is the realization, direct. It’s so totally impersonal and available to anyone that it totally inspires and draws me now. It is a great gift to humanity – and to all that are touched by it.
In its practice I find that I am constantly ‘changing’, constantly reaching to the new, moving in the new. In life generally and in relationships it keeps everything clean, fresh and vibrantly alive. It keeps me looking beyond being familiar with my self or anyone around me. Such clarity can take place and the willingness to allow it. My relationship with my husband/partner just keeps opening the new as we both, in its practice, are true to what we discover inside ourselves – we keep reaching beyond our limited self and we keep meeting in a deeper place together. Such love can open and radiant tenderness.
What inspires me about teaching The Form is that I am learning, growing in this too. That I am also discovering what this is, and having the opportunity to bring that to life with teaching it, sharing and meeting with others and being able to gift back what I have received with this profound practice.

The Edge that I know it reveals in myself…Practicing the Form is evolving me in ways that my limited viewpoint can’t take me. It connects me to a deeper place with who I really am.
I’m calling for more in my life so that I can expand myself in new ways
On and off since around 2000. It became apparent after sporadically practicing The Form over a period of time that the impact on my outer life was dramatic.
Nothing.. except that it was attached to the truth that I could feel and hear from Bernie Prior. It felt like an add on. I can remember a lot of resistance coming up in me on retreats when The Form was to be practiced…it was difficult for my mind to grasp and my body to be sensitive enough. The practice has opened up greater sensitivity in my body.
Completely! After a prolonged period of practicing the Form I started to really feel the frequency of the Form in my body – particularly when I would dance the movement. I started to feel the movement within; I became more grounded and present. I was able to drop mind ideas and struggles without an issue – a space of opening that helped me see beyond the challenges of the moment.
My life and everything in it has changed dramatically over the years. At times my mind has screamed and struggled but everything I know has opened me into greater depth and meaning in my life with more joy, inspiration and empowerment and with greater depth….more light, love and challenge…C’est la vie
The old adage that if I can do it then it is possible that everyone can. It opened a door in my life that I want to keep going through and growing in the knowledge of who I am.
My mode is in business and the application is through integrated teamwork, personal responsibility and leadership programmes. I love people and I love life and if I can live my passion and create a way that I and others can commune, connect and cooperate in life and work then I feel I can be part of a culture shift ..from greed and need to share and care.

I love the beauty and exquisite tender power I experience when dancing The Form. I feel as if I have come home to my real self and that I was born to share this amazing cosmic dance of love. I feel directly the sense of participating in divine creation and evolution. Every Form experience is a new exploration and an invitation to expand in so many ways.. in all ways.
Since September 2010.
My initial contact with The Form occurred through meeting Pee Tek Chan as a patient in his medical practice. His open, clear love touched me deeply and I was invited to join his Form sharing group I could only say ‘Yes”.
The Form has opened me to a deeper, fuller recognition of who I really am. It continues to reveal more and more of the light and love that I have always been. I have found that through this opening, the way I share and connect with clients and students in my astrology practice has expanded. I feel more open and confident, clearer, more honest and trusting in all my contacts with others including friends and family.
Love inspires me to teach The Form, love of the earth and of the expansion of human consciousness. I see that this is truly ‘in my hands’ and my dream of a better world, since I was a child, will be a reality.
As an astrologer I am inspired by the cosmic nature of the Form and Bernie’s teachings. I am finding I am more expansive when teaching and giving readings and I am excited to explore further ways to integrate my astrological work with The Form.

What inspires me is The Form is not healing or fixing (although healing can happen). For me, it’s discovering on a deeply felt sensed bodily level that I am so much more than an individual self – that I am the one creating, as is everyone else. It’s so empowering, so alive, so different every time. The Form is encouraging me to fully deeply feel everything, all of my resistance, until in the gentle light of my consciousness, ego and pain dissolve. Its dance is so fluid and free, reverent. It blows me away.
Since 2011.
I was given The Form and experienced being connected to the earth in a whole new way – grounded yet so expansive. I then went to a satsang by Bernie Prior and felt a knowing of The Form as the missing link I’d been searching for.
I feel so much more open to life and such a strong impulse from my heart to be all that I am. Life has much more meaning now. Instead of being stuck in history and ego, and then going into judgment, I am more compassionate to myself and others. The Form is helping me to dissolve old ways – for instance, I often used to feel separate inside from others. I now understand inside; that is my ego. In my relationships I find I am opening up to another as myself. Instead of feeling left out or ‘less than’, I experience enjoyment of the other.
Teaching The Form is such a gift to my students, the world and me. It is a way to empower others and enrich their lives, as mine has been enriched. It is a way to share my love and enthusiasm The Form; a way to stay with my cutting edge, being challenged, expanding. As my students go further into their selves so do I. It is a privilege to be part of this vast evolving matrix of love and consciousness.

The Form Reality Practice brings the profound into everyday life, supporting those who practice it to become their true nature and enable them to express their love and truth in the world. It provides opportunity for self healing, awareness of old patterns, enabling people to shift into ‘I’ consciousness.
Since 2008.
I first encountered The Form at a workshop held by Dr Pee Tek Chan. I enjoyed the workshop and continued attending. On the fourth workshop I experienced a profound knowing of love which inspired me to continue in learning The Form.
The Form has been a vehicle to experience and express a much deeper part of the being that I am. It has provided this woman with very tangible experiences of the being of that being and its love for others and the planet. It has enabled this woman to acknowledge this truth and to live it in life. The practice of The Form maintains and deepens the connection to the heart and its truth, as consciousness expressing itself in the world. This awareness expresses itself in my relationships, providing opportunities to bring awareness to separate sense of self and how this manifests in my relationships.
I see The Form and the teaching of The Form as one of the most powerful practices on Earth. It has the potential to evolve the consciousness of humanity to live in a more selfless, more environmentally aware way that is ever evolving. This will bring harmony and beauty to the Earth.
debbie_realitypractice.org
The ever evolving, deepening reflective capacity of 'The Form', allowing this woman to know herself beyond concepts and conditions, beyond a comfortable life. I love the profound stillness of the dance and how this then inspires and moves me creatively - 'Love in Action'.
Since 1997.
Through radical change which shattered my known way of life an overwhelming pulse opened this woman to truth and a profound love. There was nothing else to do but give to this new life, to this new form within The Form and my deep love for all form and for the consciousness that brought The Form in to existence.
The Form has brought a greater awareness and a deeper understanding of the constant transformation experienced over the last 14 years. I no longer know the woman that discovered The Form. I allow her to die, to be reborn, to be. Places I did not know existed have been uncovered and discovered through 'The Form', and this continues. Pain and pleasure, death and rebirth become one, so there is a greater acceptance of the life within this woman and within those around her and this becomes a celebration of life. There are constant and powerful insights in to the union of the masculine and feminine within and without which shake, rock and caress this woman, loving her, shaping her anew.
What The Form reveals within, is every man and woman's birthright. If what this woman is discovering through The Form inspires another, that brings joy and a greater passion for sharing.

The Form Reality - Practice is the most profound yet accessible way to discover the deepest, most conscious creative way of living on earth in these transformative times.
Since 1999.
I visited a friend in Edinburgh and was offered an experience of The Form. The next day I handed my notice in at my job and finished the relationship with my partner – everything fell away that was untrue. A few weeks later I was reflecting on my drastic life changes and realized it happened after receiving The Form. I knew at this point that The Form was something I needed to incorporate into my life.
Since discovering The Form my life has transformed into a very creative full expression of what it is to be an evolving human being living on this planet. I have moved across the world from UK to New Zealand, and now to Australia. I have discovered how to deepen within my relationships and discovered that all relationships are mirrors of where I am currently in my awareness. There is an incredible creativity that is cutting edge, new and ever evolving.

It’s the most powerful contemplative technique I have encountered so far and if practiced in earnest shows you everything you need to know about what you might be hanging on to and even shows you what you really are.
Since the Fiji retreat Oct/November 2008
The second evening with Bernie I was introduced to a modified experience of The Form – it healed my broken heart that I was hanging onto for 6 years.
I have no psychological fear anymore. I am absolutely free inside and am whole inside. My life is sweet and easy. In relationships I have no need of anyone having to fill in a lack of anything within.
As I embark on a course there is this cosmic pulse moving in, carrying the whole event. I am fully thrilled that though I know the movements and am able to convey them I have no idea what is going to happen to me and the participants. At the same time it brings us both to an edge and by going beyond apparent limitations we expand enormously.
