6-month program | Freedom is our Birthright – How to reach our goal in this Life
A Tele-course for returning students who have already taken a 6-month course with Neelam
PREMISE FOR THIS PROGRAM:
In this six month program for returning students the invitation is to come into Awakening and Freedom and to deepen and practice together our Inquiry and Embodiment and growing of the capacity of our nervous system to Be Here.
The tendencies that bring us here, regardless of the depth of our recognition of Presence often times still remain hidden and functional and it is in the direct addressing of that that we find true transformation and the ultimate fulfillment of our life’s goal – Peace Love and lasting Freedom.
The capacity of our nervous system to Be Here is oftentimes the missing link between Direct Experience of Presence and Awakening, and between the Embodiment and Freedom, where Presence becomes functional and available to us in the moment, regardless of what are the current circumstances of our life.
When I speak about Freedom I speak about living in a dynamic, alive recognition of Presence and in the true independence from the past.
Independence in which our recognition of Presence has penetrated through all areas of our past experience and it became fully recognized and functional as it has uncovered the resilience of our nervous system and grown its capacity to Be Here.
That has the power to radically transform our life and set us free from the cycle of birth life and death .
A powerful strengthening and deepening of our capacity to Be Here comes from learning how to fully meet the sensations of our arising experiences just the way they are in the present, and from recognizing and addressing some of our past tendencies – the unseen and unmet imprints based on our experiences in the past, where we have believed individually and collectively that Truth Presence and Love are not already Here.
I invite you all to join me in this program as Freedom is the true purpose of this life and every moment, including our time together is an invitation to Freedom.
