Returning to Essence
Returning to Essence -- The Lataif
Essence is part of our nature. It is also called the organs of the soul. It is a certain substance in our being. We were born with it and through our conditioning we lost contact with it. However it was never lost. All we need to do now is turn back and reconnect and remember. Once the connection is opened again we truly acquire life skills like steadfastness, self confidence, self worth, strength, true power and joy. This will enhance our personal life as much as are professional life. This series consists of 5 modules, each module has the duration of one weekend. The white essence brings us trust and grounding. We experience ourselves in a solid way and feel supported from within. We feel capable to live our lives in a relaxed way. Steadfastness, grounded-ness and patience are but a few of the effects of white essence. The red essence brings strength and aliveness. We feel ready to meet the challenges of life. We take our place and have the courage to take risks. The autonomy that comes as a result of this is a very sought after quality for most of us. The black essence brings us deep inner peace. Our thoughts quiet down and our mind becomes still. We feel in alignment with ourselves in a deep and intimate way. We discover the true power of silence which enables us to be powerful without pumping our muscles or our ego. The green essence brings healing for the deep aches and pains of our soul. Our heart is filled with compassion and loving-kindness. We feel gentle and refreshed and we can meet both the world and ourselves with an open heart. The yellow essence brings us joy and a lightness of being. Liberated from our burdens we are happy and in a festive mood. Our worries and problems melt as snow before the sun and life becomes an adventure rather than a problem to be solved. The weekends build on each other and after the white essence retreat, participants are asked to commit themselves to the whole series. If someone cannot participate in one of the retreats, there is always the possibility to follow this retreat with another teacher in Europe or sometimes it is also possible to do this in individual sessions. |
