LIVE ONLINE COURSE: Transforming Fear with the Five Wisdoms
with Irini Rockwell
July 11 - 25, 2020
A Three-Week Class on Saturdays at 2:00 pm Atlantic Time, Starting July 11, 2020
In this unprecedented, uncertain and unpredictable world facing a pandemic we all have been living in fear of the insidious coronavirus. But perhaps the real issue is not the virus but the fear itself. There is a pandemic of fear and the emotional turmoil it causes.
We can work with fear in an intelligent way through the profundity of the Five Wisdom Energies. They are key to emotional transmutation, revealing the great depth of Buddhist psychology and the transformative power of Tantra. An understanding of our nervous system gives us further insight. Here’s the key: your wisdom is in the darkness of your confusion. When you embrace your energy with unconditional positive regard, the apex of your struggle is the apex of your brilliance. There could be a pandemic of possibility!
