KEN BRADFORD PhD May 30th 6-8pm DESCRIPTION:  \n \nNatural resilience is the healing expression of authentic presence when we stop talking to ourself and open to experience as it is. The truth is we cannot always trust our mind to see things clearly\, since the human predicament finds us in the position of seeing through a glass darkly: seeing others\, the world and ourself through projections we may not be aware we are projecting. Simultaneously\, the truth is we can always trust the sane nature of our mind\, which is innately open\, clear\, and spontaneously responsive in a compassionate\, healing direction. A vital challenge for existentially-robust therapy is warming-up to\, tuning-in to\, and letting go of habitual patterns that cloud authentic presence. The challenge of recognising authentic presence is opening to the natural freedom and ease of being as such. \n  \n  \nWe cannot make ourself be resilient\, sane or free\, but we can open to a way of being in which resilience\, sanity and freedom come to us. Within the openness of spacious awareness\, we are better able to assist the opening of others. This follow-up experientially-keyed session is devoted to opening to the true\, innately resilient nature of our otherwise distracted mind. Just this is the unconditional basis for practicing the most robust forms of therapy and meditation. \nThe event will take place on ZOOM. A link will be sent to attendees the day before. \nKen Bradford\, PhD is an author\, teacher and contemplative yogin integrating Buddhist\, Dzogchen and Existential thought and practice. Formerly\, he maintained a psychotherapy practice in the San Francisco Bay area and was Adjunct Professor at John F. Kennedy University and California Institute of Integral Studies. Publications include numerous articles\, most recently on “Radical Authenticity” and “Existential-Contemplative Therapy”; books: The I of the Other: Mindfulness-Based Diagnosis & the Question of Sanity; and Listening from the Heart of Silence: Nondual Wisdom and Psychotherapy\, Vol. 2  (with John Prendergast). \n Website: www.authenticpresence.net \nA 2-hours Certificate of Attendance will be emailed to participants URL:https://community.existentialanalysis.org.uk/event/opening-to-authentic-presence-the-natural-ease-and-resilience-of-being-ken-bradford-phd LOCATION:ONLINE EVENT\, zoom.us CATEGORIES:Misc CPD ORGANIZER;CN="Paola Pomponi":MAILTO:events@existentialanalysis.org.uk END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/London:20200529T180000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/London:20200529T200000 DTSTAMP:20260419T111203 CREATED:20200402T170945Z LAST-MODIFIED:20200515T182746Z UID:10000035-1590775200-1590782400@community.existentialanalysis.org.uk SUMMARY:Authentic Presence: Buddhist and Existential Perspectives - KEN BRADFORD PhD. May 29th 6-8pm DESCRIPTION:  \nBoth Existential and Buddhist psychologies recognise an authentic potentiality\, sanity and natural resilience to the human mind. Although in Existential thought\, the notion of “true nature” is debatable and not always clearly understood. Still\, both traditions respect that the mind’s natural openness is obscured by habitual forms of mental-emotional reactivity that become reified into a fixed “me.” The radical thought of Martin Heidegger and still more remarkable insight of the Buddha see through the reification of divided selfhood to the authentically open\, unfettered and free nature of the mind.\nThis evening will explore the Buddha’s 2 key insights into the human condition. 1) We have a deep-seated feeling there is something incomplete or wrong with “me” that leaves us with a sense of discontent and wanting we spend our lives striving to fill. 2) Preoccupied with this striving\, we lose touch with the natural resilience\, innate sense of well-being\, and untethered freedom of our authentic nature. Therapy and meditation are practices of opening ourself to the way things actually are rather than how we (compulsively) think they are. \nThis evening provides a theoretical foundation for Saturday’s follow-up. \nThe event will take place on ZOOM. A link will be sent to attendees the day before. \nKen Bradford\, PhD is an Author\, teacher and contemplative yogin integrating Buddhist\, Dzogchen and Existential thought and practice.
