WORKSHOP DETAILS

HONOUR YOUR SENSITIVITY & RELEASE YOUR FEARS

Date: Saturday 11th September 2010  Time: 10.00 am to 2.00 pm  Venue: Seville Lodge, Callan Rd, Kilkenny  Cost: €50.00 / €25.00 unwaged.

If we are really honest with ourselves, we are all sensitive beings: sensitive to insults, to other people’s pains, and to what other people think of us.  Our sensitivity is a gift given to us to honour and respect.  We can deny our sensitivity by hiding behind a wall of resistance, but if we do so, we also deny ourselves our true joy and happiness.   Recently I met an unemployed guy who was visiting a friend’s farm.  It was easy to observe how all the different animals took to him so easily.  Whenever he sat down, he was immediately surrounded by dog and cats!  He could effortlessly tune into their behaviour and different personalities.  This guy’s sensitivity was his blessing!  Although he had never worked with animals in his career, I told him he should honour and respect his sensitivity, and find a job which involved animals.

 

Fear often holds people back from honouring their sensitivity: fear of messing up, fear of being mocked, fear of not being loved, fear of fear itself.  We can overcome these fears and protect ourselves by loving ourselves and by making sure our inner energy is pure and balanced.  By this I mean being kind to ourselves and thinking positive thoughts.  By loving ourselves inwardly, and outwardly towards others, with an unconditional love that knows no bounds, then and only then can we move through our fears, making them disappear like water evaporating in the sun.

 

We are all interconnected through energy.  Almost everything we think and do has a positive or negative effect on others.  When we speak with integrity, our words can have a positive effect.  But when we speak with a lack of consideration for the feelings of others, what we say can have a detrimental effect, and we may regret our actions.  My next positive living workshop “Honour Your Sensitivity & Release Your Fears” will focus on how to overcome this fear of fear, and on how to heal: dissolving fears, healing hurts and pains, and honouring your sensitivity to allow yourself to be your true natural self that knows only LOVE!  Love knows no bounds, it is never-ending and is free to everyone who allows it to flow to them and from them.  Love can heal everything, only fear gets in the way!

BE HAPPY, BE HEALTHY NOW WORKSHOP: FINDING INNER PEACE

Date: Sunday 28th November 2010  Time: 10.00 am to 5.00 pm  Venue: Ballilogue Clochán, The Rower, Inistioge, Co Kilkenny Cost: €95.00, including lunch

A perceptive person once wrote “Joy comes not though possession or ownership, but through a wise and loving heart.”  The problem is, how do we find this wise and loving heart that will lead us to inner peace?  The aim of this workshop is to help you get there!  Topics to be covered include:

 

  • True happiness is based on “inner peace” – but exactly what is “inner peace”?
  • Healing our wounds and our pain: how can we alleviate our worries, fears and anxieties?
  • Happiness and peace are possible: using the power of thought in the now, using the power of breathing in the now, using the power of true love, and how to cultivate it
  • The practice of letting go ... and trusting
  •  How meditation can help us in our everyday life
  •  Simple, 5 – 10 minute exercises to help still the mind and find inner peace
  •  Reconnecting to the love that resides within us.

 

The workshop is of particular benefit to people who worry too much or who find it difficult to let go and trust.  It will help you to reconnect to your inner core and to find the peace of mind, body and spirit that resides there.
