“...Keep my heart soft enough to keep breaking…”
~ Laura Jean Truman
Emotions, for many of us, embody chaos. They can be unexpected, unpredictable, unwieldy, possessing a life of their own. They can be unwelcome. Yet, if we bring a soft fluency to embrace any of these emotions, we can unlock the essence of the very life we yearn to live. The life we yearn to thrive in.
In the heartbeat map of the 5Rhythms cosmology we dance with fear, anger, sadness, joy, and compassion. We will create a strong container for softly surrendering to the feeling present in each moment, curating an ever stronger capacity to harness the wisdom the emotion brings to the surface.
We love without defence, we love to tears, we feel how scared we are when the fear is actually arising, it’s an amazing thing to truly feel all that this life offers us to experience. Yet we hide our anger, hold it in clenched jaws, or temper it with eloquent words that flower our craniums and dazzle other’s eyes, all to avoid the truth: that we are angry. As we are afraid of our own anger, we are also afraid of other people’s anger. This is understandable since anger gone rogue, creates wars, death, and more pain, more even than the pain of holding it in. What if anger was given a place at the table? What gifts might be hidden under its scaly exterior?
And sadness…what might we see if we soften our egos and allow sadness to move? Then true joy might emerge. Not the party joy, or ungrounded floating mania, but pure grounded joy. From the depths of fear, the burnt embers of anger, and the fall of grief, we can step into the newborn existence of a joy undeterred, understood cellularly, and immediately.
And then...when we have travelled through fear, anger, sadness, and joy, we can dissolve the armour, and be in stillness. Be compassionate.
This workshop counts as 25 hours of 5Rhythms® Heartbeat Practice. A Gabrielle Roth 5Rhythms® Heartbeat Workshop is the opening of our emotional world and focuses on how each Rhythm corresponds to the essential emotions: Flowing/Fear, Staccato/Anger, Chaos/Sadness, Lyrical/Joy, and Stillness/Compassion.
