Cultivating the Practice of Welcoming:
Practicing the Art of Allowing and Acceptance

The mindfulness practice of allowing is a simple yet challenging practice of noticing what is triggering or upsetting us and bringing a curiosity and kinetic awareness to it without numbing and distracting behaviors or judging it. It is a practice of actively noticing, allowing, and letting go of the thoughts and feelings that support the egoic operating or false self system. There will be a short teaching about what the practice of allowing is and what it is not. This will be experiential engagement of inquiry for you to experience this practice for yourself and time for Q and A.

Practicing the “art of allowing” increases our ability to decrease our internal and external reactivity. Furthering our ability to respond to ourselves and others from a space of grounded awareness and sensitivity. This practice grows our ability to welcome what is happening in our experience. Psychiatrist Carl Jung stated that what we repress within or project out is what has power over us. Being able to stay present with ourselves during triggering experiences is a doorway to our freedom.

Awareness of interpersonal relationships is in part a gift to us as we seek to understand. Getting better acquainted in who we are, how we function, where we see ourselves in relationships, I think gives us a healthier perspective of humanity. I have found that this enneagram workshop is the bow that unwraps this gift.
