COURSE
With Clare Downham
Have you ever felt the pressure to "just accept" things, even when they felt unfair or difficult? Perhaps you have noticed that this can lead to a cycle of suffering when self-judgment adds to that initial pain. But what if acceptance wasn't a forced action, but rather a natural state arising from understanding? This 9-day course invites you to explore a different perspective on acceptance, one rooted in the transformative power of the 3 Principles: Thought, Mind, and Consciousness. If you've already tried various approaches to acceptance and still struggle with self-judgment or resistance, this course is for you. It's not about forcing positive affirmations or controlling your thoughts. Instead, we'll embark on a journey of understanding how your inner experience is created, leading to acceptance as a natural consequence. Here's what you can expect: • Ditch the struggle: Move beyond forced positivity and self-criticism towards a gentle and curious exploration of your inner landscape. • Unlock the 3 Principles: Discover how Thought, Mind, and Consciousness work together to shape your experience, revealing the source of resistance and suffering. • Gain clarity: Through thought provoking lessons and opportunities for reflection, gain insights into the nature of thoughts, feelings, and behaviours, leading to a deeper understanding of yourself. • Experience ease and flow: Cultivate a sense of inner peace and acceptance that arises naturally from understanding, rather than forcing yourself to "be okay." • Embrace self-compassion: Learn to treat yourself with kindness and understanding, letting go of judgment and embracing your true nature. By the end of this course, you will: • Understand the 3 Principles and their role in shaping your experience. • Recognise the relationship between resistance, acceptance and human suffering. • Cultivate a more peaceful and accepting relationship with thoughts and feelings. • Discover your innate well-being and access more self-compassion. This is not a quick fix or a magic bullet, but a transformative journey towards genuine acceptance and inner peace. If you're ready to let go of the struggle and discover acceptance as a natural state of being, join me on this 9-day exploration. Remember, true acceptance arises from understanding, not forcing. Let's embark on this journey together and experience the ease and flow of genuine acceptance.
