Celebrating
True Strength and Aliveness
December 4-5, 2004
/ 10:00 am - 5:30 pm
How
does True Strength appear in ones life?
- As an unlimited source
of aliveness, vitality, and zest
- As the power to break
free of old limits and expand every aspect of our lives
- As the capacity to create
and maintain healthy boundaries in our relationships, and ultimately
to develop real autonomy
- As the essential fuel
for optimal sexual pleasure
- As the force which neutralizes
the inner critic or super-ego
- As discrimination to
acknowledge abuse, while at the same time energizing healthy indignation
to defend our humanity
Why
is Essential Strength so important to growth?
Growth and transformation
imply one’s sense of self is constantly expanding and new capacities
are emerging. Constraints of all kinds, internal and external, must
be courageously seen and overcome. This kind of work takes sustained
energy and passion. A powerful motivation deep within must be kindled
to sustain our efforts, and counteract the constant pull of inertia
that wants to draw us back into the old limited world. Strength is needed
to neutralize the demeaning and damaging effect of the inner critic.
Essential Strength is the source which satisfies the needs mentioned
above. Essential Strength supports the soul in asserting its right to
be here and be strong.
In this
experiential Weekend you will:
- Explore your life to
determine how Essential Strength is manifesting and where it might
be lacking
- Examine and remove blocks
that prevent activating Essential Strength
- Learn to recognize and
disarm the inner critic using the presence of Essential Strength
- Understand & release
Essential Strength bound up in repressed anger
- Work with the group to
evoke Essential Strength through a combination of breathing, music/movement,
personal exploration exercises, meditation and group discussion.
Personal
Exploration in preparation for the Weekend Seminar:
To get the most from the
weekend, you might examine the difference in the quality of life lived
with and without Essential Strength. (See hints below) This will give
you a sound orientation when we meet on Dec. 4-5, 2004.
Life
Lived Expressing Essential Strength
- I feel in myself a sense
of implicit capacity. I can do it!
- It is easy to initiate
action in any part of my life when needed
- My life evolves in ways
that are expansive and growing
- I have courage when moving
into the unknown, and when confronting people and situations when
needed
- I sense my autonomy,
being who I am, free from dysfunctional relationships
- I enjoy my aliveness,
vitality, spirit, and zest
- I can assert myself easily.
I am not afraid of my righteous indignation.
- I move toward what I
want, and away from that which does not serve me
Common
Issues and Difficulties Associated with lack of Strength
- I have difficulty dealing
with anger: mine, yours and that of others
- I feel a longing for
more vitality and passion in my life
- I use anger to cover
up weakness, or as a show of false strength
- I fear being on my own,
or find myself stuck in a co-dependent relationship
- My lack of courage and
expansiveness keeps my life small
- My inner critic often
runs my life in ways that are limiting
