SUMMARY:Online: Healing the Child Within - Integrating the Healing Journey and Spiritual Path
DESCRIPTION:Online: Healing the Child Within – Integrating the Healing Journey and Spiritual Path\n \nwith Paul Epstein\n \nSaturday\, October 14th\, 2023 | 10:00am – 1:00pm ET\n \n\n \n“In each of us\, there is a young\, suffering child. We have all had times of difficulty as children……The cry we hear from deep in our hearts comes from the wounded child within. …. just as the suffering is present in every cell of our body\, so are the seeds of awakened  understanding and happiness.”\n-from Reconciliation: Healing The Inner Child\, by Thich Nhat Hanh (2010) \nThrough mindfulness and (self) compassion practice and teachings\, we can begin to transform our pain and suffering into an integrated  journey of both self healing and awakening. We’ll live and explore with a compassionate inquiry the question: How can we be with our wounds living in our body\, mind\, heart and spirit with an awareness that is merciful\, wise\, compassionate and trauma sensitive?  \nRadical acceptance\, courage and unconditional presence can guide us home to our true self\, our authentic being\, our Buddha nature. We can realize the liberating experience of facing and unburdening painful truth and that in the heart of the pain is the healing\, and in the suffering is the end of suffering and awakening. \nJack Kornfield in his article  “Even the Best Meditators Have Old Wounds to Heal” cautions that “meditation practice doesn’t ‘do it all’…Meditation and spiritual practice can easily be used to suppress and avoid feeling or to escape from difficult areas of our lives.”  Mindfulness works only when we are willing to direct attention to every area of our suffering. \n“Perhaps all the dragons in our lives are princesses who are only waiting to see us act\, just once\, with beauty and courage. Perhaps everything that frightens us is\, in its deepest essence\, something helpless that wants our love.”― Rainer Maria Rilke \nJoin Dr Paul Epstein for this half-day retreat to explore this healing power of mindfulness. \nRegistration:\nPlease register at the highest level that your generosity offers.\nExplanations of levels follow below.\nIf you are registering via a mobile device such as a phone or tablet\, you can scroll right and left and up and down within the below form if it is partially obscured or cut off.\nCLICK HERE to open the registration form in a new browser window.\nPlease contact registration@nyimc.org if you need assistance.\n \nRegistration Fees include Teacher Support\nNew York Insight Meditation Center has streamlined the registration fee levels.
