Inner Awareness for Emotional Intelligence at Spirit Rock

Friday, February 9, 2018, 10:00am – 4:30pm
Listen to Jill on Dharma Seed

Inner awareness is key to understanding and taking care of our mental and emotional landscapes.
Awareness of sensations, breath, thoughts, and emotions culminate in recognizing what is. By repeatedly observing each moment, we become sensitive to our internal needs through the language of the body, movement of breath, the quiet whispering of the heart and the changeable nature of the mind.

With practice, our capacity to understand how our environment, conversations, and stressors affect us grows until it becomes second nature. Through this deep inner knowing, we learn to use skillful means to respond and take kind care of ourselves anytime and anywhere.
