Essence is the true nature of who we are when we are relaxed and authentic, when we are not pretending to be one way or another, consciously or unconsciously. It is the truth of our very presence, the purity of our consciousness and awareness. It is what we are in our original and undefiled beingness, the ultimate core reality of our soul. A.H. Almaas
Essence has many subtle qualities that make life richer and more beautiful. These qualities support us on our spiritual path as well as enabling us to blossom and mature in our ordinary life in the world.
We’re all born with these pure, essential qualities, but they were rarely welcomed fully by our caretakers, and gradually they became more hidden and inaccessible.
In this series of one-day workshops, we will explore and experience directly the preciousness of five essential qualities: Strength (“Red”), Power (“Black”), Will (“White”), Joy (“Yellow”), and Compassion (“Green”), that allow us to face difficult issues and expand into our potential. Our life and our world become more abundant and satisfying.
Each workshop will focus on one particular quality – how it manifests and affects us, and what gets in the way of fully accessing it.
-
The Red or Strength Essence enables us to meet the world with boldness, daring, and innate strength. It gives us the courage to follow our heart’s desire, and separate from old habits and beliefs. We’ll explore how feeling our anger, aggression, and weakness can be a doorway to our natural strength.
-
The White or Will Essence brings the quality of true will, opening us to wider possibilities of responding to situations with self-confidence, inner determination, and steadfastness. It gives us a sense of ground, uprightness, reliability, and alignment with what we really want. When it’s absent we can feel subject to another’s will, helpless, lost, and collapsed.
-
The Yellow or Joy Essence opens our heart to deep joy, curiosity, lightness of being and delight, free from “shoulds”, to more pleasure, playfulness, and spontaneity. It helps us to appreciate and celebrate the preciousness of who we are.
-
When the Green or Compassion Essence arises, it brings delicate heart sensitivity that welcomes our pain and grief, or the suffering of another. Most of us learned to numb our pain, but an atmosphere of loving kindness and compassion helps us open to the fullness of our heart.
-
The Black or Power Essence brings the presence of inner silence and peace. It reveals our doubts and stills our inner agitation. It opens us to our true essential power, the power to be. The Black essence also opens our capacity for subtle perception, allowing us to experience the mystery that we are.
