Living the Embodiment of Grace

Module 1: Cultivating Equanimity: Becoming a More Graceful Human Being

Aug 17, 2019 10:00am - 12:00pm PDT

Grace - direct experience of Divine Presence, is simultaneously the ground of your being, the blessings that sustain you, and the living presence that transforms your suffering into wisdom. Most importantly, Grace is an invitation to live in this world from a consciousness beyond it, serving its evolution. 
What does it take to live in this world with its relentless pace and unprecedented complexity, while remaining grounded in the luminous presence that is never rocked and does not change? What can help close that gap between moments of Grace on the meditation cushion, and the way we actually live daily life? In this module, Miranda will share how the practice she calls Ego Relaxation supports you to embody the noble qualities of your deepest nature and be elegantly responsive in complex situations. 

• Ground in unchanging awareness, while embracing everything with love.
• Transform reactivity and resistance. 
• Live into ongoing surrender through the practice of Ego Relaxation. 

Module 2: Graceful Action: Responding from Being

Aug 24, 2019 10:00am - 12:00pm PDT

What does it take to stay present, open-hearted and non-reactive even as you watch the news? How can you take skillful action within your relationships, work and everyday life without contracting back into ego effort to get things done? In this module we will practice resting inwardly, while listening to the innate love and wisdom at the core of our being that can move us into graceful action amidst daily life. Just as a single jasmine blossom can uplift the entire room with its exquisite fragrance, so your very presence can radiate noble qualities and a heavenly breeze deeper into our world.

• Listening to the inner call to action, without losing our seat inwardly.
• How prayer supports the flow of doing from Being.
•  Discriminating inner inspiration from subtle delusion.

Module 3: Your Body, Heart and Mind as a Divine Vessel

Aug 31, 2019 10:00am - 12:00pm PDT

Beyond personal goals or ambition, we all have the potential to become a human fountain: an open vessel for the living presence to flow through our body, heart and mind, radiating the essential qualities of love, clarity, compassion, peace and joy deeper into this world. In this module, we will explore the difference between getting caught in our instinctual drives (survival, sexual, social instincts) and what is possible when we are in right relationship with ourselves and life. Just as a single jasmine blossom can uplift the entire room with its exquisite fragrance, so your very presence can radiate noble qualities and a heavenly breeze deeper into our world.

• * Befriending the forces of your animal humanity, vs getting caught in them.
• * Harnessing challenges with the body - aging and sickness as gateways to Grace.
• * Actualizing Love’s presence deeper into ordinary life.
