Teacher: Bruce Pardoe
Topic: Healing with Space, the 5th Element
To connect our attention with the qualities of our direct, embodied aliveness, we can use the excellent and ancient system of the 4 Elements that quite fully describes the range of bodily sensations we might encounter.
* Earth = Mass or Weight felt as Heaviness or Lightness, Hardness or Softness
* Fire = Temperature felt anywhere from Cold to Hot
* Water = Moisture felt as Stickiness, Cohesion or Wetness
* Air = Movement felt as Pulsing, Flowing, Vibrating, Stabbing, Expanding or Contracting
Some Buddhist traditions add a 5th Element - Space. When we include this element in our mindful attentiveness we can clearly feel a balance between the space and the other elements that leads to profound healing. This talk will stand on its own but also build on the 1/2 daylong retreat on 2/20 titled Liberation Through Awareness of Awareness which could actually be called Liberation Through Awareness of Space.
