Conscious Living - Conscious Dying
What is the secret of life?
The secret of life is death.
When you love, what is the secret of love? Death.
When you meditate, what is the secret of meditation? Death.
Whatever happens that is beautiful and intense,
happens through death.
Whenever you move deep into anything,
life will be at the periphery,
and death will be at the center.

Often we fail to live our lives to the fullest because mind is the illusion of time, of past and future. We imagine that there is an infinite amount of time, and so we continue to postpone living an authentic life. The mind ´s tendency is to postpone, and this makes us live in a dream of desires and hopes for the future. Unconsciously we deny the fact of our mortality and close our awareness to what is real and present in front of us. In this way we dream our life rather than live it, and our fear of death continues to diminish the quality of our lives. Only a fearless consciousness can awaken to its full potential.
The art of dying is the art of letting go and of living the present moment as if it were our last, here, now, immersed in it. When we realize the ever changing quality of life, and that death is the only real certainty, a quantum leap can happen in our consciousness. When we awaken to this truth, we are free to live in a deep clarity about what is really essential in life, and what isn´t. When we make a conscious decision to allow the awareness of our mortality to guide us through our life, it will lead us towards the most essential question: who we really are, and what survives death?
The more we are caught in our unconscious
fear of death and dying, the less our life can be really fulfilled,
because fear prevents us from the fullness of life.We
will be more or less afraid of all significant and ecstatic
experiences: Love, meditation, sexuality, intimacy, creative
expression and authenticity, even if we are longing for it.
Our unconscious fear of death and letting go keeps us in fear
of uncertainty and change, which are a natural part of life.
Out of these fears we hold on to old beliefs which make us live
in fear, misery and the idea of separation.Our fear of death
is deeply repressed and usually unconscious. Mostly it
only shows when we are directly concerned with its immensity.
when a beloved dies, or when we ourselves are challenged with
illness, old age or a life threatening situation.
But our fear shows indirectly in our fear of uncertainty or
surrender, in fear of the challenges of life, perhaps in our
inability for love and intimacy, in our fear of pain or loneliness,
of deep meditation, in avoidance of silence, in clinging to
people and old habits, or in our fear of letting go of
our ego-personality and its defences.
We donīt need to deal with every single fear, when we recognize
that the roots of all our fears are the fears of the unknown,
and that we project all our fears of life onto the unknown of
death.Then a conscious understanding of death and dying, and
the willingness to learn to let go, are the answer to all our
fears and our longing for real love and spiritual fulfillment.
Looking at death from the point of view of what it teaches us
about life will transform the quality and vision of your life.This
process is valuable for all who want to explore the phenomenon
of death, out of personal or professional concerns, as well
as for those who want to find the inner motivation for authentic
living and new priorities their life.We learn to open for the
mystery and the possible gift that death can bring to our life:
Nothing can make the urgency for love, compassion and meditation
more clear than the fact that we are not here forever.An authentic
awakening is only possible when we accept and understand our
death .
The
group- process will work on these issues:
Transforming
fear into love ( because fear
is destructive to our consciousness and our love, and all fears
are rooted in the fear of death, of the unknown, of letting
go).
Meditation
as preparation for a conscious loving death , as an
experience of our immortal being, and as source of our life
energy and joy.
Helping ourselves and others in situations of grief, loss,
crisis and change.
Recognizing
and healing the incompleteness of our life.
Letting
go with love and compassion ; living with strength
and vulnerability
Compassion
and forgiveness: opening into our heart-chakra and its capacities
for healing. Understanding
death as a natural transition creates courage to live life
consciously and authentically. Living
with uncertainty, change and impermanence Looking
at our fears of pain,aloneness,loss,and letting go into the
unknown.
Participants
will experience and learn various methods which not only prepare
for a conscious and loving death, but also for all the small
deaths" we have to face in our life: in letting go of attachments
and desires,in loss and grief,in changes,aging, sickness, aloneness,impermanence,as
well as in the challenges of deep meditation, authentic love
and trust,without which our life remains empty and meaningless.
