Trauma as a Path to Embodied Wisdom

Trauma as a Path to Embodied Wisdom

With Julie Brown Yau  •  Recorded November 10, 17, 24, 2019

A 3-part Webinar Series

Resolving trauma can be the basis of embodied knowing, integrated wisdom, and a strong authentic presence. We also find a grounded vibrancy, a feeling of home in the body, and a release of fear so nonduality is revealed.
In this webinar series, which combines trauma and spiritual practice we:

  • Look at the dynamics of developmental trauma, learn to recognize the limitations and disconnection that ensues in adulthood
  • Explore the deepest layers of trauma, often hidden below conscious awareness
  • Explore how to integrate every messy and beautiful aspect of our being, even the most frightening
  • Know the return to unfettered love is possible

In our time together we will explore surrender and detachment as a means of healing, resolution, and freedom. We will also explore beyond trauma, were we return to love, the love from which we never truly left, and the natural embodiment of Shakti.
 
To do so we will look at the often-tumultuous energies of trauma and how to navigate them. We will call on the experience of a powerful feminine force, who has the capacity to dissolve ignorance and the duality of our mind.
 
Please join Julie Brown Yau on this exciting experiential endeavor of returning to the body, to love, to your powerful sense of agency and connectedness in the world.

Each module will consist of discussion and a meditation or experiential practice.

Giving Protection to and Going Beyond the Mind

Nov 24, 2019 10:00am - 11:30am PST

Giving protection to and going beyond the mind. In the last module of this series, we shall connect with a fierce feminine energy, Chamunda. The purpose is to connect with her, as a field of consciousness, as a container, so we can feel the intensity of volatile energies. Often anger emerges before our body has cultivated the capacity to be fully present to it. Chamunda can help us. She also brings an end to ignorance, not of not knowing, but knowing incorrectly, so we can see things as they really are and end the duality of mind.

Duration: 1 hours, 30 minutes
