Unit 1: The Four Keys to Emotional Genius

Most of us have learned to ignore or avoid certain emotions (such as anger, grief, or anxiety) while we overburden other emotions such as happiness and joy. As a result, we don’t tend to have a harmonious relationship with our emotions. In this first unit, you’ll explore four keys that can help you connect to the genius in all of your emotions.

Unit 2: The Empathic Mindfulness Practices, focusing on Grounding and Boundaries

Many mindfulness practices here in the west can help us settle our bodies and minds so that we can simply observe emotions, or even let them go. But letting them go means that we may lose access to the startling wisdom and vital skills that all emotions contain. In this unit, you’ll discover five simple empathic mindfulness practices that can help you work directly with the intelligence and skills that live inside each of your emotions.
