Breaking Free of the Life You’ve Inherited
Next Workshop February 16, 2020 at 12 noon near Santa Rosa. Please contact us for details.
The Workshop
So much of the life we lead and our experience of ourselves has been determined by thin but impactful influences. Thin meaning that we have the karma to be impacted by them, but they are distinct from who we are at our core. Our upbringing, genetics and culture build and reinforce a kind of possession of our personality. Even as we resolve traumas, this possession remains because it is the very lens through which we view our traumas. It has been taught, modeled, injected and reinforced by most of the experiences and people in our life. A large part of us identifies with it as it is so deeply ingrained into the way we think and live.
Beyond this identity, many of us have a sense of being out of place within ourselves, our lives and our minds. We yearn for something natural and try to find compensatory or healing measures to get back to this place that both feels like a dream and at the same time our actual reality.
This workshop has been designed to re-connect is to this natural place by addressing a series of factors that exist in the energy or subtle body. Genetic and familial patterns, unconscious cultural beliefs and subsequent trauma throughout the life will be resolved and removed on an subtle level. Subtle body structures related to personal power, the natural personality and stability will be activated. Additional work to integrate what is gained and lost will be done to aid in the transition. This work is subtle but profound and will roll out into the world and your conscious experience over the following weeks, months and years.
Most of the workshop will be done in silence while Theresa works with breaks for q&a and rest. Everyone is welcome to sit or lie down in whatever position is most comfortable.
The Subtle Structures
The white and red drops are known as thigle in Tibetan and as bindu in Sanskrit.
The white drop is seated at the crown of the head at the opening of the central channel.
The red drop (well, this particular one anyway) is at the tip of the genitals at the other end of the central channel.
They are said to be related to the original male and female essences that give rise to the human form. Their minor expressions are spread throughout the form and give rise to the shape of the meridians.
When the two at the crown and base are meditated upon simultaneously with sufficient discrimination and force, they can cause the minor red and white drops to move and stack into the central channel and partake of the neutral void quality within it.
This void quality neutralizes the genetic and ancestral karmas in the minor drops and allows the meridians to assume their natural shape.
This can also open the central channel allowing an individual to have a very strong sense of their place in the world in relationship to both the divine and the earth.
This is a critical foundation for deeper spiritual work. It helps restore some of the fundamental clarity and begins to release the structural foundations of how not what we think.
From the perspective of Daoist Nei Dan, this work is purifying the jing.
The yellow court (huang ting) located at the level of the solar plexus is the seat of cohesion and expression for the natural personality when it is functioning as it should.
For most of us, it is the seat of expression of the persona: the fragmented secondary survival personality.
The yellow court is so called because it is the meeting / integration place of all the differing biological intelligences: spiritual awareness, intent, will, bodily desire, power, intuition etc.
This meeting place is fractured via consistent emotional, cultural and social nonsense / abuse / confusion during childhood.
This breaks away our reason from our intuition from our will, etc. Our awareness is then pulled into one or possibly two of these areas.
The work with the yellow court is the dissolution of the emotional traumas and difficulties that lead to our inhabiting a persona.
With time and persistence, the persona can dissolve and the true natural personality can emerge.
The work takes about four hours with breaks plus an hour or so for q&a.
The cost is $100, discounted for Inner Currents Patreon members. If you’d like to host a workshop near your location, please contact us.
