Part 1: The Superego & Self-InquiryThe Superego runs our life through judgements, prejudices, standards, guilt and shame. By understanding how it functions, how it began, how it controls and limits our experience, we can learn how to defend against it's attacks. You will then discover an inner spaciousness that can allow transformation and creativity. Self-inquiry is one of the main tools in the Essence work. It allows you to navigate your inner landscape and to more fully uncover and understandant your personality. this way it opens up for the possibility to be the master of your own life. |
Part 2: White EssenceThe White Latifa, known as the Will Essence, has to do with a feeling of inner solidity, inner support and a sense of value. It is the relaxed confidence that comes when we are in contact with our Being. It is grounded, resourceful and committed. |
Part 3: Red EssenceThe Red Latifa, known as the Strength Essence, has to do with our capacity to be an individual. It brings the strength to separate from old structures that no longer serve our evolution and uniqueness. It is passionate vitality, enthusiasm and has the strength to go into the world with all its challenges. |
Part 4: Green EssenceThe Green Latifa is known as the Essence of Compassions. This Latifa gives us a profound understanding of and compassion for our ego structure. It is the compassion and understanding that allow us to go deeply into our wounds and heal them. It gives us the capacity to do the same with others. |
Part 5: Black EssenceThe Black Latifa, known as the Peace Essence, is the Latifa about our love of the truth and longing for peace. It is a very deep dimension of looking in and realizing a state of inner mastery. Here we face our concepts and fears about death and confront the main layers of ego defense. |
Part 6: Yellow EssenceThe Yellow Latifa deepens the connection with the heart and is the Latifa of Joy, signified by the sun. It is also the Latifa of curiosity and innocence. When we look outside for what we need, for love, support and approval, we invariably encounter suffering, pain and frustration. Here we turn away from carrying the shame, guilt and depression that was in our family lines and turn towards the deep joy that lives inside us. |
