Themes of Exploration
The inner critic is the part of us that constantly evaluates and criticises us and our experience. It is the source of a lot of our suffering, and ends up limiting our life and our potential, undermining our self worth, and inhibiting our spiritual development. Working with the inner jugde is a crucial part of the teaching of the Diamond Approach.
In this course we will:
– Explore and recognise the beliefs, self images, ideals and standards that keep this structure in place.
– Look into where this tendency to judge ourselves comes from, both in our history and our society.
– Learning some practical tools to disengage in order to experience some space from this inner critic.
– Understanding how the various essential aspects, like for example loving kindness and strength, provide useful tools in the process of working with the inner critic.
