The Science and Art of Awakening Human Consciousness – Session Emptiness

The concept of emptiness, or shunyata, in yoga and Buddhism is often associated with the realisation that energy is not bound to form, and that there is a spaciousness or still point underneath all the chaos of the world. This emptiness is not a void, but a zero point that connects everything and is the essence of all energy. Through deep personal exploration, we can come to accept impermanence and the gift it brings, leading to deep internal freedom and a truer understanding of love. We can let go of our attachment to the forms and manifestations of the people we love, realising that they are still present in different forms, and that nothing is truly lost or destroyed. The teachings of emptiness remind us of the interconnectedness of all things and offer a path to peace and acceptance in the face of loss and change.

In this session we shall explore the science of emptiness both inside and outside the body, exploring the following line of enquiry:

• The Spiritual Teachings of Emptiness or Shunyata
• The science of black holes
• How deep personal exploration and insight can lead to deep internal freedom
• The acceptance of impermanence within our bodies, even our breath
• How impermanence is indeed a miracle, not something to be feared or resisted
• Because of the gift of impermanence, anything is possible
