Diamond Heart UK Weekend #1 2020 10
Most of us handle our suffering by shutting down our sensitivity. But doing so also cuts us off from the attuned kindness of an open heart. How else might we orient toward our innate human vulnerability?
If we wish for the truth but cannot bear to face it when it arises, our life remains secure but stagnant. We need courage to come close to ourselves, especially when we're scared or there is something difficult in our experience.
As we become curious about our experience and open to all that we don't know, we can discover a sense of commitment to what is true in our experience. We can become steadfast, not easily knocked off course.
How does thinking we already know---who we are, what is happening around us, what reality is---get in the way of our opening to deeper mystery?
These five afternoons introduce different aspects of the Diamond Approach in preparation for the new Diamond Heart UK group.
Curiosity and wonder are part of our inherent, essential nature as human beings. Explore this quality of your inner nature, and also discover some of the barriers that shut down and limit your natural curiosity.
