Mindful-ness to Heartful-ness Course
I facilitate a course called ‘from mindfulness to heartfulness’. It is an 18-month course that meets for a weekend every month or every other month. The purpose of the course is twofold:
- To help students become present and grounded in themselves and in their capacity to allow Sheikh Ibrihim Gilani Shah W.A. to connect to them. The purpose of his connection is to help the student in their own personal journey and also work with the student when they are working with clients.
- To teach students practical and strategic ways to work with clients who:
- are stressed, conflicted or anxious and need help with this
- are looking to begin (or deepen) a process of personal awareness and development
- are looking to begin (or deepen) a process of prayer and/or meditation through the opening the heart
- are in small groups to do the above a, b or c
The course provides several designed exercises that students learn in order to begin working with practice clients. On the course, we also do a lot of prayer/meditation work with the Baba overshadowing. As well, students:
- do in-depth awareness and internal connecting work with students as issues come up. Some of this is private work and some is this is done in the group where trust and support has been built up and of course, the student is open to it.
- discuss the predicament of clients, and how to introduce exercises that can help
- review ethics of respect, non-control, non-judgement, supportiveness etc in light of working with clients.
- gradually learn to work with greater sensitivity to the client and what they are able to ‘read’ in the client
- learn to create a space where the Baba can help guide the student and influence the client
The course is not accredited. A Certificate of Attendance or a Certificate of Achievement is given at the end of the course.
