Deep dives
Holding Space for Emotional Knots
Finding the seven knots in life that hold people back is essential. By being aware and slowing down, one can navigate through these knots. Masterclass-like sessions focus on identifying and moving through these hurdles.
Embracing a Full Spectrum of Emotions
Allowing emotions to be felt completely is essential for growth. Shame, fear, and other emotions should be acknowledged without judgment. The idea is to authentically experience each emotion without holding back.
Navigating Relationships with Narcissists
Setting boundaries is crucial when dealing with narcissistic individuals. Understanding that narcissism stems from an inability to feel emotions fully can help navigate the dynamics with such individuals.
Balancing Perspective and Emotional Fluidity
Balancing having a perspective while remaining open to others' viewpoints is critical. It's important to be grounded in curiosity and hold one's perspective passionately without attachment to being right. Embracing emotional fluidity means allowing emotions to move freely, connecting them with the body and avoiding overthinking.
Common Pitfalls in Self-Transformation
Falling into the trap of believing emotions entirely can hinder growth. It's crucial not to identify fully with emotions but instead observe and feel them authentically. Recognizing the impermanence of emotions and their transformative nature is key to self-transformation.
