An experiential Masterclass by Kris Zwemmer & Mirjam Maëla

Why do we bother so much about uneasiness? Why do we fight it instead of working with it? How can we be with discomfort without being overrun by the feelings?

In this Masterclass we explore how we can relate to discomfort and unease in a different way.

Why this Masterclass?

As humans we try to control our lives in order to prevent ourselves from being in pain, discomfort and unease. If discomfort arises, we don’t listen to its message, but we try to get rid of it as soon as possible. 

If we have a headache, we take an aspirin. If we are afraid or depressed, we seek distraction. If we feel restless or stressed, we work even harder. 

Why do we bother so much about uneasiness? Why do we fight it instead of working with it? How can we be with discomfort without being overrun by the feelings?

We all know that most of the time you can’t make it disappear. You can suppress difficult feelings for a while, but in the long run they will resurface.

Fighting it causes even more tension and suffering, while embracing it and relaxing in it takes out the needle - maybe the sensations are still present, but they will lose their overwhelming and constricting aspects.

What are we going to do?

From an early stage in life we were taught to get rid of discomfort. In this Masterclass we explore how we can relate to it in a different way.

We will use several ancient and proven techniques for this exploration. This Masterclass provides an experiential opportunity to be with uneasy thoughts and feelings. We will not dive in the underlying theory too much. You will experience your resistance and your ability to adjust and relax mainly on a physical and energetic level.
