TRAINING DESCRIPTION
"The place God calls you to is the place where your deep gladness and the world’s deep hunger meet." — Frederick Buechner
THE FOUR DESIRES is a modern rendition of an ancient approach to self-transformation. It is a game-changer. This is not a traditional book group, but is process-oriented and draws from ancient Vedic teachings around self-reflection. With the guidance of a teacher to introduce and lead these practices, this FOUR DESIRES course will offer supportive tools intended to unfold our highest purpose, our soul's calling, and lead us onto a path of courage and joy.
The Four Desires process helps us identify Dharma - our soul's unique purpose, and that which brings the deepest joy. We then uncover Vikalpa - the very hidden and insidious obstacles that sabotage and prevent us from manifesting our highest purpose. Finally, we establish Sankalpa - an intention that aligns with Dharma to move us forward along our path. Ultimately, we will learn a process of dissolving our obstacles as we simultaneously empower our desires.
Our lives have a trajectory, largely determined by unconscious thought patterns that are driving us in one direction, while blocking us from our highest potential. Once we identify these thought patterns. they loosen their hold on us. We use the yogic practices of self-reflection, meditation, and yoga nidra to bypass the intellect and access the unconscious mind as well as the Buddhi - our inner guide of wisdom. By cultivating our intuitive wisdom and planting seeds of intention directly into the unconscious mind, we completely transform the trajectory of our lives. We begin to answer the calling of the soul.
Each session will include lecture / discussion followed by guided meditation, and journaling that grows out of meditation. Be prepared for simple asana before we meditate. Guided meditations and yoga nidra will be recorded and available for all students to take home.
Key topics we will cover:
Understand the role of desire in the spiritual life
Clarify your missions of need, pleasure, purpose, and spirit
Access intuition, self-awareness, and omniscience
Undo the beliefs and tendencies that sabotage fulfillment
Learn the spiritual principles of shaping personal destiny
Transform through deep relaxation and new life-affirming intentions
Release the bondage of negative thinking as self-fulfilling prophecy
Use any and all life-experiences as leverage to greater freedom
