SUMMARY:Neelam ~ Freedom in Every Moment - Growing the Capacity of the Nervous System for Awakening\, Embodiment\, & Freedom
DESCRIPTION:10 am to 12 noon (Pacific Time – San Francisco\, CA\, USA) Time Zone Converter \nThe capacity of the nervous system to Be Here is an essential element for Awakening\, Embodiment\, and for Freedom. \nIn our search for Truth the workings of the nervous system often remain hidden and we don’t always fully understand or know experientially what capacity is and what Being Here really means or is. \nWhen unmet\, un-experienced tendencies of the Past arise – and we so often believe it or identify ourselves with that – that shows up as thoughts and as feelings\, emotions and sensations and it affects and manifests in our physiology. \nIf there is no awareness of that and no capacity to Be Here our nervous system reacts and moves into fight | flight | freeze or overwhelm and we end up re-enacting or suppressing and so perpetuating the Past. \nThe capacity of our nervous system to Be Here and experience the arising past is often the missing link between our desire for Truth and Freedom and our ability to independently experience Presence and Self-Inquiry\, which is what takes us directly into Awakening\, Embodiment and Freedom. \nThis call is an invitation to Presence and Awakening and to Neelam’s teaching and a practical exploration of the role of the nervous system in Awakening and Freedom \nTestimonials from Program Participants \n“The depth of Neelam’s tenderness and compassion crosses over all boundaries. Meeting Neelam over the phone has and continues to feel like coming home… She is deeply generous with her Presence and time. The practical exercises she guides us through during the courses have enabled me to experience Presence more\, whether I’m sitting formally in meditation or moving through my daily activities. Things that used to trigger me are dropping away and there is more peace and easy in my life. Finding Neelam is a great treasure… so grateful for Neelam and this Sangha.” \n“What’s different about Neelam is that she demystifies the actual practice of being present – she’s helped me see what’s actually happening when feelings and emotions come up\, and how\, in a very practical way\, to deal with them. Her strong point is “how to actually do this being the present thing.” It really helps to take it out of the mind and into the body” \nNeelam is a direct disciple of HWL Poonja (affectionately known as Papaji)\, whose own teacher was Ramana Maharshi. Neelam’s unequivocal commitment to Truth helps us turn inward and release underlying patterns of conditioning which block the recognition of our True Nature. With the utmost tenderness\, she invites us into the same recognition of Truth that her teacher\, Papaji\, transmitted to her\, while helping us to address all aspects of daily living\, including past conditioning and trauma. \n“Awakening is a shift from identifying yourself as this body to knowing yourself as Presence. Freedom means a true independence from the past\, where our ability to Be Here and the action in the moment are not guided by our attachment to the arising past. To truly be Free we need to embody our recognition of Presence\, and that requires growing of the capacity of our nervous system to Be Here. It is in the meeting of what arises that we find true and lasting freedom.”\n~Neelam \nwww.neelam.org \nSuggested donation: $15 to $25\nPLEASE REGISTER EARLY if you can.
