Welcome to Del Millers'
"There is a tremendous sense in our culture of something being
shut off, abandoned.
No other era has so totally divorced outer reality from inner
reality...Never before have
we been so cut off from the wisdom of nature and the wisdom of
our own instincts.
The rise in addiction to food, alcohol, drugs, work, sex reveals
that our bodies
and souls are starving, that we are cut off at the neck, with
no ego center in the body,
no "I" who senses and feels in the gut. We are terrified of the
body and of reality,
addicted to control and perfectionism. Sometimes we feel as if
we have no experience
of being alive. But if we listen to the body, we will be guided
back to life its symptoms are the signposts that can reconnect
us to our own lost souls."
Marion Woodman
A BRIEF INTRODUCTION
Western culture has separated aspects of the Self that are really
one and the same. We are led to believe that
Body and Mind, Body and Emotions, and Body and Soul are all separate
entities...when in fact they're not!
Our Mind is manifested in every part of our Body...Likewise, the
Soul is also manifested in every living cell within the Body!
In fact, the Body is nothing more than Materialized Spirit!
Many of us have disowned our Bodies out of shame, cultural ignorance
and childhood trauma. We have also lost our connection with the
natural world...As we became less identified with the animals
of the wild and the fruits of the earth, we also lost connection
with our physical bodies.
Most people find it impossible to envision their Bodies as a sacred
vessel because they have had so much training cursing and abusing
it. They are afraid to tap into the memories that are energetically
trapped deep within the cellular walls of the body. Instead they
choose to float through life, unaware of their real beauty, power
and strength.
The central focus of the EMBODYING THE SOUL Workshops is to make
the Body More Available to Us, its occupier, as an expressive
partner for a lifetime!
We train our minds to discriminate between the myriad of impulses
that enter our bodies....We also learn to slow our thinking and
perceiving down and watch, feel and experience our world as it
becomes vivid and energetic!
INTENTION-AWARENESS-ACTION
"The soul is happy by nature; the soul is happiness itself.
It becomes unhappy when something is the matter with its
vehicle, its instrument, its tool through which it experiences
life. Care of the body, therefore, is the first and most
important principle of religion."
Hazrat Inayat Khan
Physical activity should lead to an increased awareness of your
Self in your Body...and greater awareness of your surroundings.
In this workshop, we devote ourselves to the exploration of the
phenomenon we call awareness.
We practice techniques to increase our skills of perception. We
learn to separate why we do something from how we do it, which
sharpens our senses and clarifies our intentions.
In any situation, knowing why we do the things we do (Intention)
produces Meaningful Action!
CLASS OVERVIEW
"To Embody the Soul is to first come home to the body,
to create a home for the Soul. Many of us have
"homeless Souls" that are afraid to enter our slum-houses
we call our bodies...we then feel disconnected,
disease ridden, lethargic and lifeless."
