Walking this path can deepen the souls capacity for compassion, and the hearts capacity for embracing love. It can be a catalyst for discovering our true essence, moving us towards wholeness and transformation. When we 'fall in love' our deepest need to be seen and understood is awoken. We can learn to understand loves' cycles of giving and receiving. The closer we come to another, the better we come to know ourselves. Intimacy is the essence of love and friendship. It is a closeness of sharing and understanding, of knowing and seeing another person and being known and seen by them. Most people don't know how to be, how to accept and embrace what is. The capacity for intimacy requires a certain confidence and trust in others. In this workshop, you will learn how intimacy is a way of expressing the privilege and gift of giving and receiving. We are not taught how to be in healthy relationships and this can cause pain and suffering. Often the way people deal with pain is to remove the stimulus and blame it on the source.. the other person. Much of the pain experienced not due to the action of others but on how you see the world. Issues that may surface around intimacy are; Fear of being abandoned Fear of being overwhelmed, - engulfed. Rage about childhood violations, A desire to be taken care of completely by another person Hypersensitivity to criticism On the weekend you will explore the above themes and Learn ways to create the depths of intimacy you desire. Learn to develop greater intimacy to enable richer friendships, warmer family dynamics, and depth in your closest relationships. Learn to successfully to communicate your own desires Explore power struggles Make conscious choices and relationships Learn to speak from the heart Express love and appreciation in ways that touch your partner's heart Create fun, romance, passion, and intimacy. Rediscover the joy and spiritual potential of your relationship Powerful communication methods to move from conflict, defensiveness and anger into loving connection Mindfulness based practices to create and strengthen intimacy, love and compassion Practice Yoga, Chi Kung and Meditation for an awakening and Rejuvenation Booking Form 20th - 21st November 2010 Embracing the shadow in relationships Everyone carries a shadow, and the less it is embodied in the individual’s conscious life, the blacker and denser it is. At all counts, it forms an unconscious snag, thwarting our most well meant intentions. (Jung) When journeying to self-awareness or growing spiritually we encounter the Shadow Self. Hidden from our awareness, the shadow is not part of our conscious self-image. The Shadow represents the unconscious, repressed, undeveloped and denied. These are dark rejected aspects of our being as well as light; there is positive undeveloped potential in the Shadow. It is always with us, and holds so much of our life energy. When the full extent of the shadow is revealed, it can be quite a shock. The weekend will help you to gain insight into the shadow and explore it in depth whilst learning to integrate it in a helpful manner. Love is a powerful force that inevitably brings to the surface the parts of ourselves that we desperately try to keep hidden. Many people blame relationship problems on a lack of love, the other person not ‘being enough’. In truth it is the challenge of being close and loving in a relationship that uncovers the difficulty. A close relationship is a powerful light, and like any strong light it casts a large shadow. When you stand in the light of a close relationship, you will encounter the shadow. 'The psychological rule says that when an inner situation is not made conscious, it happens outside as fate. That is to say, when the individual remains undivided and does not become conscious of his inner opposite, the world must perforce act out the conflict and be torn into opposing halves' (Jung) Move towards authenticity and personal power to transform your life Alter your self-sabotaging behaviours Understand repetitive patterns in relationship that hinder you Move towards self-acceptance and knowledge of who you are Understand the negative emotions that erupt unexpectedly in daily life Transform guilt and shame associated with negative feelings and behaviour Recognise your projections that influence your relationships with others Explore authentic and direct communication Practice Yoga, Chi Kung and Meditation for an awakening and rejuvenation If you have not worked with Living From the Heart before you will be required to have a consultation before joining the groups.
