Stress & Vitality (28 February – 6 March 2024)
This course is one of the five mirrors of Transformation in the KRI International Level Two Teacher Training. We will see how we behave under stress and learn the skills needed to help other stressed out people. Stress affects our communication; it provokes the shadow aspects and hidden agendas of our personality, which we explore further in Conscious Communication. It pressures our mind and the capacity of the three minds to function smoothly, which we observe in Mind and Meditation. It strongly affects our capacity for relationships that are true and authentic; this we observe in Authentic Relationships. Stress comes from many sources throughout the stages of our life and we can cultivate those qualities and habits that will support us or hinder us throughout those changes.
This is a time to examine yourself, share and compare with other teachers, and commit deeply to your Self and your growth, to do what you need to do in order to be vital, to inspire and to serve All.
In order to deliver an effective response to another person or to a student, we need to be stable, trustworthy, and mature. We need to be able to apply our intuition and elevate them in consciousness to heal, become clear and live in the creative reality of their own soul. We need the caliber to do this in each and every circumstance.
Transformation is organized with this challenge and goal in mind, so that all five modules are a single process. Each module has a central theme. That theme is reinforced in all the other modules. The links between the different ideas are forged through your experiences and by constant exercises and efforts to refine your ability to reflect, to be aware and to be consciously conscious of what you are learning. In addition to the central theme of each module, we have identified core capacities, which you must master. Powerful and clear intuition, the capacity for shuniya (living at the still center), the mastery of polarity, and the ability for harmonious communication are examples of those capacities. Each module cultivates those capacities and asks you to assess how well you can use those with yourself, with your students and in your life. We do not need you to simply teach about intuition. You must be intuitive, recognize it, and form an effective realistic relationship to that capacity. Most capacities are life-long studies. But at this stage you must demonstrate them, not simply understand them.
References and links to web resources will encourage you to expand your knowledge, practice additional techniques and master background materials for each area of study. The courses themselves emphasize carefully chosen meditations, kriyas, and quotations. All needed information is presented in highly interactive learning environments. You will explore topics and discuss them with other students in both small and large groups. You will answer questions, generate questions, role-play, solve puzzles, and write short and long essays. You will have the opportunity to practice meditations deeply over an extended time. You will test and observe the application of these techniques and attitudes in your life.
