When you hear "he who cannot be named," the mind may wander to J.K. Rowling's fictional character Lord Voldemort in her Harry Potter stories.  Similarly, "that which has no name" often evokes feelings of confusion fear or dread in the mind. Why is that?

Take your dreams for instance.  You are conditioned to be able to name and thus, think you understand and have some level of control over your destiny. When you are unable to name or identify a thing, the mind cannot grasp it and assumes something is wrong.  What happens as you listen to the heart? What does it resonate that is beyond mind?

Consider "that which has no name" is not reason to fear, but reason to awaken to who you are. Perhaps it feels like a layer of a dream.  Indescribable sensations arise. Roll with this. Allow it to flow freely.  Notice what happens when there is nothing left to say. You Transform Your Life by admiring and identifying with others only to see yourself.

"Music...can name the unnameable and communicate the unknowable."
-Leonard Bernstein
