Do you notice inner critics that judge you harshly?
Do you believe that inner critics keep you from finding
contentment?
Is it possible for inner critics to calm down?
Many of us do our best to keep inner critics away, or we
try to get rid of them, just to find that this simply does not work. No matter
what we do, they keep trying to get our attention. Maybe, they have another
message that we need to pay attention to.
With the use of mindfulness and Zen meditation,
participants will be offered ways to stop, recognize, and listen as we practice
new ways to relate to recurring thoughts and emotional patterns of critical
self-judgment. We may find that these harsh voices are pointing to our
innermost desires for safety, love and wholeness. We will practice relating to
inner critic voices, cultivating our natural ability to listen in a field of
calmness and compassion.
Deeply listening to self-critics and learning to engage
with them with friendly creativity will start the transformational process of
developing self-acceptance and self-compassion. This process leads to a kinder,
more compassionate attitude toward ourselves.
This workshop meets the CE criteria for several health-care
professional designations and is appropriate for both new and experienced
meditators.
Cost: $100
