CRISIS AS OPPORTUNITY:

In this episode I talk about working with resistance in a way that can put us in touch with the feelings that keep us stuck and feeling dead in our lives. These feelings can keep us stuck in suffering or they can be a flood gate into coming alive. Learning to feel things we "don't want to feel" can put us in touch with our truth and living in alignment with ourselves.

In the Chinese language the word for crisis has two meanings, one is crisis and one is opportunity.

PROCESS

In this Podcast:

Feelings have a beginning, middle, and an end.
Exhaustion can come from a feeling that hasn't been fully felt.
Our body is our unconscious, any good practice will reveal what is there.
When the unconscious comes up to the surface it is an opportunity for healing.
We often experience resistance to feeling this stuff and develop strategies to avoid it.
We can also develop a process of being in engagement with the encounter and through that, heal and develop a sense of stability that is not dependent on the outer world of circumstances. This is a special type of strength.
Stories to illustrate the transition from resistance into acceptance and allowance. What we resist persists.
Developing a process and what a process is.
