14 Sep Early Bird Deadline for Embodied Practices ends Sept 15, 2013
There’s a time and a place for trying something new or for reinvesting yourself in something you want to do better in.
Some of you have made the choice to join us in the Embodied Practices that starts October 4th. I’m thrilled to be working with you.
Others of you are still deciding. That’s important. You need to know from the inside of you if this is the right thing for you, right now. Your heart and body are good guides to listen to. I’ve found when people disregard their inner knowing they aren’t “invested” in their own practice, and my goal is to help you gain as much as you can from the Embodied Practices Course – and from your life.
I’ve had some people email me with questions. One of the questions had to do with the content.
Will I learn anything new in this?
It’s such a fair question since there is so much information available.
This past week I was part of a large group (1200+) who came together with the Vietnamese Monk, Thich Nhat Han in Boston.
Thich Nhat Han spoke in his spacious, loving manner about the importance of practice in everything that we do. Even more importantly he reminded us of how our practice flourishes when we cultivate ourselves in the company of others.
We walked from the Boston Park Plaza Hotel to the Boston Common, silently, mindfully, blocking traffic and hearing the honking, honking, honking of cars as the 1200+ of us walked. I watched my mind flitter about, not wanting to put people out as they hurried to where they were going.
Training the mind
I kept returning to the simple movement of my toes, then heel touching the ground. Shifting to the other foot, toe, heel….. quieting, easing.
Putting this course together I sat with how these Embodied Practices emerged. I adapted the ancient teachings while grappling with trauma and attachment symptoms that caught me off guard.
I still practice them – that’s after having practiced meditation since the late 70’s and yoga since the mid 80’s. It’s humbling to hold onto a beginner’s mind, yet it’s that humility that has helped me soften, open, and be safe in my body, mind, and heart.
Putting the principles of yoga and meditation together to support you in your healing
We’ll deal with the difficult complications of having trauma and attachment wounding: Gaining entry to a safe and secure body, Riding the waves of sensation, Making sense of triggers and eruptions, The antidote to shame, Working with parts, Dealing with boundaries, Unwinding from fear, Learning to trust again, Weaving a life good enough in which to fully live.
The whole course is designed to give you steady, consistent, simple practices that you can use at any time of the day, anywhere you are. This is not about finding a quick and easy cure but rather learning how to change your life one step at a time.
