SUMMARY:The Four Noble Truths of Love
DESCRIPTION:A meditation practice gives rise to compassion\, wisdom\, and confidence–all of which seem to disappear when we enter into\, seek to establish\, or need to exit from a relationship. Relationships present our deepest challenges along the spiritual path.\n  \nThis four-week course will explore it all via talks  from Susan\, small-group discussion\, readings\, and at-home contemplations. You will gain insights and learn on-the-spot practices to bring mindfulness off the cushion and into your love life.  \nWe will explore: \n\nHow to bring the fruits of spiritual practice into our love life to deepen affection\, passion\, and kindness\n\n\nHow to fall in love without grasping\n\n\nHow to let go when it is called for\n\n\nWhat Buddhism can offer when it comes to working with the pain of heartbreak\n\n\nHow to remain open to love\n\nBuddhism is based on Four Noble Truths: Everything changes; grasping creates suffering; there is a way to work with it all; and a path for doing so. Join writer and Buddhist teacher Susan Piver for practice\, discussion\, and an exploration of how to apply these truths to that greatest of mysteries: love. \nCurriculum\nWeek One: Relax\nDiscussion of the first noble truth: Relationships are Uncomfortable\nThe value of discomfort when falling in love; being in love; losing love; longing for love\nHow to work with it to keep your heart open\nTechniques for what to do when it is too much\nHow meditation creates a foundation for it all\nGroup meditation practice and discussion \nWeek Two: See Where You Are\nDiscussion of the second noble truth: Thinking they Should be Comfortable Makes Them Uncomfortable\nWhat is the true power of relationships? (Spoiler alert: it’s not about safety)\nWhat can you actually commit to and what can you ask another to commit to?\nDeepening your capacity to stay\nThe types of problems you can work with and the types you should not work with\nGroup meditation practice and discussion \nWeek Three: Be Where You Are\nDiscussion of the third noble truth: Meeting the Discomfort Together is Love\nBecoming a spiritual love warrior\nPractices for opening and stabilizing your heart\nWhen you are open to this work but your partner is not\nGroup meditation practice and discussion \nWeek Four: The Path\nDiscussion of the fourth noble truth: The 3-Fold Path of Love\nThe three qualities to cultivate that make love your super power\nThe sure-fire way to bring more love into your life\nGoing forward with these teachings and practices\nGroup meditation practice and discussion\n \n \nAll classes are recorded and those recordings made available for 60 days from the last class date.\n \nThis program is free with an Open Heart Project Sangha membership. Membership costs $27 a month (or $270 for the year) and offers continuous support in the form of video lessons\, daily practice support\, and a wildly supportive 24/7 community in which you may participate or lurk as much as you like. \nQuestions?
