Tom Kurzka ~ Meeting Difficult Energies — Integrating Presence with Fully Living Here

10 am to 12 noon (Pacific Time – San Francisco, CA, USA) Time Zone Converter

Every time we stop, we taste a gap in the experience, spacious awareness, that which is always here as the background and holding for the life experience, much like the blank white screen in the movie theater upon which the images of the movie appear. We know this simple truth intellectually and also to a certain extent in our Heart. But then the challenges of life sweep us away from this simple knowing, usually in the form of difficult energies that overwhelm us. We want to run and hide, we feel abandoned and lost. We overeat, we abuse substances, we distract, we try to escape, but the difficult energies continue to chase us. And yet, we’re told to just meet the difficult energies directly and they will dissolve back into spacious awareness. Easier said than done, because the difficult energies are our worse nightmare.

In this event we will gently explore ways in which we can get more comfortable in our own human skin, including the parts that we can’t stand. We will cover:

• Four common ways of dealing with difficult energies: suppression, pushing away, spacious embrace, and wisdom action guided by spacious embrace.
• How to use the breath and the intensity of the difficult energies as an ally, an anchor to the present moment, to overcome the habitual tendency of the reactive mind to run and hide or to fight back.
• Acknowledging and soothing our distrust in life as a means of establishing trust in the living Presence of Life itself to hold the vulnerability of our humanness.
