Becoming Fully Embodied
Our work in this program is aimed at becoming fully embodied physically, energetically, cognitively, and spiritually. Being fully embodied does not mean being perfect. It means being completely awake and alive. Our view of ourselves is often limited by preconceived ideas and assumptions. As our lens of perception opens to the higher frequencies we often discover the ways we have been inhibiting our full potential. The practice of spiritual embodiment reveals our higher potentials at every level of being. Committing to the realization of these potentials allows us to manifest them. When we are embodied in this way, our life becomes an ongoing adventure of transformation.
What You Will Discover
How to Live Your Inner Realizations
Most of us realize that awakening to higher possibilities as inner revelations is not enough to change our lives or our world. Many of us have realized higher potentials, we have seen more of what is possible and had visions of who we could become. Seeing these things is wonderful, but what we long for is to manifest them. We want to bring our deepest realizations and broadest visions to life. In this program our perspective on being human will shift so that every aspect of our lives directly reflects our deepest realizations.
How to Attain Lasting Transformation
We have all worked to transform. We have experienced some success and some frustration, but often find that our transformations are less long lasting than we would like. To be lasting, transformation must occur on all levels of being. Opening our hearts, expanding our minds, harmonizing our energies, and even elevating our spirit, if done individually will not be enough. In this program we discover how to shift the foundations of our lives at the deepest levels in multiple domains so that our highest possibilities manifest continuously.
How to Optimize Effort Synergistically
The idea of doing spiritual work on all dimensions of being may feel daunting, but it is actually easier to work on multiple levels at once. Why? Because every dimension of our being affects the others and so gains we make in one place support advances everywhere. We are whole in the true sense of the word, one interdependent and interconnected being. It may at times be important to focus on one dimension at a time, but in the end working on multiple levels at once creates an awareness of the mutually supportive and multi-dimensional process of growth.
Practices for Physical, Energetic, Cognitive, and Spiritual Embodiment
The core of our work together will be a collection of practices that uniquely address each of the four essential dimensions of being. The intention of these practices is to become fully embodied physically, energetically, cognitively, and spiritually. This means gaining full access to the potentials and possibilities of each dimension of being and discovering how to continually realize those in every aspect of our lives. Becoming spiritually embodied means learning how to gracefully and effectively navigate through all aspects of life.
Aim and Structure
In this program you meet with Susan Kullman and Jeff Carreira once a week for 6 weeks. In these live 90-minute sessions we introduce you to the content that you work with in your own practice for the week ahead. Each 90-minute session includes sharing of ideas from Susan and Jeff as well as detailed instruction for a particular practice related to the domain covered. This is an experiential and transformative program that yields extraordinary results when we work with the material consistently. That does not imply it requires a great deal of time. What is important is to return to the material, even briefly, each day. The practices you learn can be accomplished in 20-minutes.
It is important to remember that we are exploring not just new spiritual practices, but a new approach to practice. The aim of spiritual embodiment is to manifest higher possibilities on all levels of being. To accomplish this we engage with practices that challenge your pre-existing habitual patterns of thinking and feeling, and offer opportunities to explore new ways to think and feel about ourselves and the life we are living. Gradually we enter a lived expansion of being in which our direct experience of reality becomes vast and at the same time more sensitively refined than it was before.
Week One:
1. Introduction to the Practice of Spiritual Embodiment
Wednesday, April 2nd, 2025 @ 4:00pm - 5:30pm US Eastern Time.
In this session we introduce a new orientation to spiritual work that is aimed at achieving embodiment on all levels of being. Often spiritual work is focused on inner realization alone, while personal development work focuses on the dynamics of the body, emotional awareness, or sharpening the intellect. Our work is aimed at an embodied realization and a lasting transformation of our whole life. We discover that because life is always lived on many levels, spiritual practice must always be performed at all levels simultaneously.
Week Two:
Physical Embodiment
Wednesday, April 9th, 2025 @ 4:00pm - 5:30pm US Eastern Time.
In the second week of the program we focus on our physical bodies. We are taught to think in the mechanical terms of muscles and flesh supported by a skeletal system. In this session we learn why this reductive view is damaging to our sense of self. We explore the power of viewing our bodies as fluid systems which are in constant communication with the larger universe. This opens us to the subtle dynamics that encourage the flow of universal oneness into our lives. We learn simple movements that have tremendous power to liberate the subtle energies of love inside of us.
Week Three:
Energetic Embodiment
Wednesday, April 16th, 2025 @ 4:00pm - 5:30pm US Eastern Time.
In our third week we focus the energy within the body. This includes the vital energies that allow us to move and operate, as well as more subtle energies that extend beyond our skin and merge with the energetic field of the universe. Each sensation we have is part of a vast and dynamic field that connects us with all other living beings. The practice we learn reveals how to experience our bodily sensations without conceptualizing them. This allows us to experience life with greater depth and sensitivity. As we open to the direct experience of energetic flow in our bodies, we increase our sense of connection with all living energies.
Week Four:
Cognitive Embodiment
Wednesday, April 23rd, 2025 @ 4:00pm - 5:30pm US Eastern Time.
In our fourth week we explore the mind’s capacity for cognition and conceptualization. As modern individuals our perception of reality is highly rooted in our experience of mind and this week we see both how limited our current view is and how empowering it is to shift and expand it. In our practice we learn to separate the experience of who we are from the ideas about ourselves that have accumulated over time. As we learn to see our thoughts objectively we discover that we are not the thinker of thoughts; we are the knower of truth. Our goal is to discover and develop our intuitive powers of direct knowing.
Week Five:
Spiritual Embodiment
Wednesday, April 30th, 2025 @ 4:00pm - 5:30pm US Eastern Time.
The fifth week in our program is dedicated to the spiritual dimension of life. As spiritual beings we experience ourselves as the source of conscious awareness that flows through our hearts, minds and bodies. Relaxing into who we are as spiritual beings allows us to open directly to the most sublime and mysterious energies of creation. These energies flow from a source that lies beyond our ability to imagine, and from this mysterious place the highest energies of love and wisdom flow. Our practice this week is designed to open our hearts to unlimited possibilities.
Week Six:
The Future of Embodiment
Wednesday, May 7th, 2025 @ 4:00pm - 5:30pm US Eastern Time.
In our final session we integrate the different aspects of spiritual embodiment so you can commit to your own ever deeper transformation at all levels of being. We will speak about the merits of working on levels where we may see ourselves as being less strong vs. working to strengthen those domains where we already feel deeply embodied. The goal of this final session is to leave us all with the understanding, practices and tools that allow us to commit to a fully embodied life and create a plan for practice that will optimize our growth going forward.
