The Awakened Body Center: Instinctual Drives as Energy for Transformation
Each of the three Instinctual Drives -- Self-Preservation, Sexual, and Social -- has a distinct mode of influencing the quality and shape of our attention and our motivation to act. Becoming more skillful with how these drives operate within us is key to using their powerful energy to relieve the human conflict and distress that arises from the perceived split between our spiritual and our material nature, and for awakening the fullness of human potential.
In This Session:
- How the Instinct are motivational drives to meet specific biological and emotional needs
- A felt sense of your relationship with each instinct
- Ways that you can develop your ability to attend to and act on the intelligence of these instincts to regulate your physical body and free up energy for spiritual development
