Ingredients for Awakening I
Ego: Our Great Burden
It is important to know where we are starting from, and for this, during this first day we are going to unmask the basis of our suffering.
Our illusory identity is deeply entrenched, and it is precisely its dissolution that leads to our awakening. We will expose it from different angles, uncovering its influence on our daily lives.
Awakening
Having reviewed our darker side, let's elucidate in detail the end state to which we are all headed.
As we describe it, we will evoke it; and perhaps, during the final meditation, you will be able to taste it fully. Making it yours a little more.
From Noisy Joy to Subtle Joy
On this day we will observe how we tend to pursue passing pleasures without achieving true satisfaction.
We will highlight the possibility of approaching our awakening through the enjoyment of the goodness that life presents us. And we will rehearse how to savor the daily delights with a consciousness that brings us closer to a state of complete fulfillment.
Afflictions
We have all gone through times of pain and suffering.
During this session we will dissect the essence of our most bitter episodes; and we will bring out their importance in the disintegration of our personality. As well as the best way to relate to them in pursuit of our ultimate liberation.
Meditation
In this session we will discuss one of the main ingredients: the vehicle that will take us safely and at a good pace to our desired goal.
Once this valuable and essential process has been addressed, we will develop one of its most representative practices.
Sorry
This ingredient is fundamental to advance towards our enlightenment.
During this session, we will review the implications of forgiveness and its opposite, resentment. Finally, we will give ourselves an opportunity to forgive and feel forgiven.
Creativity
As we approach our full potential, our creativity also begins to unleash, giving way to our most authentic and fruitful expression.
At the same time, our creativity is related to the possibility of materializing what we need. During the last minutes, we will perform a creative visualization that is as sober as it is profound.
Vocation
During this session, we will clarify what our main vocation is. As well as the possibility of employing you in those tasks where you can develop your gifts; generating a unique personal contribution.
Finally, we will develop a meditation to connect with this fortunate situation through the sensations distilled from it.
Gratitude
"It is well born to be grateful". Our personal progress goes hand in hand with our feeling of gratitude. Therefore, during this day we are going to scrutinize this emotion, to evoke it little by little.
Perhaps, at the end of this session, you will find yourself completely in tune with your Reality.
Unit
The feeling of unity is one of the most recognized when describing an awakening.
During this last session we will delve into this experience, immersing ourselves in it during our last meditation.
