An Online Class Facilitated by Addie van der Kooy
Part of The Focusing Highlights Series
With climate change and the pandemic affecting our lives today, it does feel like there is an increasing evolutionary pressure on us as human beings to come into a new relationship with Life. One in which our hearts are more fully open to the “Life within and without”.
Key to this opening up to Life is what is called Radical Acceptance, which also lies at the heart of Focusing.
As a Wholebody Focusing trainer Addie teaches this as the practice of “Letting Things Be”. Three simple words but they belie many misconceptions about what it actually means, not just in Focusing but also as a different way of relating to our experience in everyday life.
In this session we will explore the practice of Letting Things Be, including re-defining discomfort. It will include guided exercises, and opportunities to share and ask questions. Addie's hope is that after this session you will feel inspired to continue this practice of radical acceptance with greater ease, clarity and understanding.
