weekly dharma quote 41

If we can look upon our work

not for self-benefit,

weekly dharma quote 40

Why do we persist in

our anger,

our hatred,

our fighting?

Why do we have

intolerance,

selfishness?

We do not truly understand that

everything arises from our minds,

that every thought we have is instantly felt

throughout the entire universe.

2nd Workshop (Self-Awareness)

It All Begins With Awareness

“Knowing others is wisdom, knowing yourself is Enlightenment.” - Lao Tzu

Awareness is the first step in the nurturing process. As you grow in self awareness, you will better understand why you feel what you feel and why you behave as you behave. That understanding then gives you the opportunity and freedom to change those things you’d like to change about yourself and create the life you want. Without fully knowing who you are, self acceptance and change become impossible.

Having clarity about who you are and what you want (and why you want it), empowers you to consciously and actively make those wants a reality. Otherwise, you’ll continue to get “caught up” in your own internal dramas and unknown beliefs, allowing unknown thought processes to determine your feelings and actions.

If you think about it, not understanding why you do what you do, and feel what you feel is like going through your life with a stranger's mind. How do you make wise decisions and choices if you don't understand why you want what you want? It's a difficult and chaotic way to live never knowing what this stranger is going to do next. This session will equip you with some ideas for creating self awareness within you. The session will include a psychometric assessment tool.
