Explore the processes that heal emotionality
Caring for Emotions – Gestures of Compassion is 14-weeks course open to anyone willing to work with and explore their emotions, based on the book Caring by Tarthang Tulku. The ‘Caring’ approach has the power to heal emotions. It helps you to cultivate a compassionate and wise friendship towards yourself and others.
“Some feelings are neutral, or so gentle that we do not notice them; others – as when we feel good or bad – affect our thoughts, attitudes and actions more strongly.“
Tarthang Tulku – The Joy of Being, p. 91
This course, Caring for emotions looks at ways to apply attention and mindfulness in order to:
- Explore our inner conditions that result in emotional reactivity
- Learn and discover how emotional patterns really happen
- Practice the attitude of unconditional acceptance that can heal emotions
- Face the challenges of transforming negativity
- Discover and immerse into the language of the heart
- Apply the process of healing emotions during daily life
“Suffering and ignorance are no theory: they are real. For that reason, when it comes to caring we need to remember the practical side as much as possible. We need to practice daily how to take care of our thoughts, emotions, and problems.“
Tarthang Tulku – Caring, p.143
