Safely Held: Meeting Our Emotions with Mindfulness

Short Course

With Ulla Koenig

When held with care and wisdom, emotions can be some of our most important messengers

Emotions are the ever-shifting dynamics of our inner life. At times they are subtle; at other times charged with energy. Their pressure, or call to action, can often overwhelm and upset us.

Mindfulness can help us to respectfully embrace our feelings without adding to a sense of fear, frustration, or narratives of the mind. If we can learn not to reject or identify with them, observing our feelings and meeting our emotions with mindfulness can offer us liberating insights about our personal needs and boundaries.

In this on-demand course with beloved teacher Ulla Koenig, we practice meditation, a drawing activity and Qigong/mindful movement to strengthen our capacity to meet our emotions with grace, both on and off the cushion.

Meeting Our Emotions with Mindfulness

Join this session to learn to:

  • Mindfully explore the physical sensations associated with emotions
  • Determine appropriate distance from & curiosity towards your emotions
  • Nourish your heart-mind and emotional balance

What are Short Courses?

With the independent student in mind, previously recorded Dharma practice sessions have been curated and trimmed into short guided videos that are easy to understand and put into practice.

Short courses include longer periods of meditation interspersed with wise teachings, practice exercises, a recorded Q&A from the live class, and more.

When you sign up, you’ll get instant access so you can join the course on your own schedule, and at your ideal pace. With lifetime access, you can watch and re-watch the videos as you please.

What’s Included

Approximately 3 hours of pre-recorded video content. Every video – whether a lesson, meditation, exercise, or Q&A – includes a description, so you have total flexibility when planning your self-paced study.

Cost

Short Courses are offered on a sliding scale basis, with a suggested rate of $35. We wholeheartedly welcome all to practice with us; no one turned away for lack of funds.
