David Nichtern: The 4 Skillful Actions

Buy

Even with a compassionate heart and the best of intentions, our interaction with others can be clumsy, ineffective, and even counter productive. In the Buddhist tradition, developing skillful means is an important addition to the cultivation of wisdom and compassion.

In meditation, we can start with gentleness and precision to see the situation clearly beyond our own filters and habitual patterns. But when we re-enter the activity of our everyday lives – it becomes important to know what action will be truly effective – perhaps more so now than ever.

“Traditionally when we talk about using skillful means to create positive outcomes, we are referring to four strategies that help shape a good intention into a skillful action:

  • Pacifying aggressive situations
  • Enriching impoverished situations
  • Magnetizing isolating situations
  • Destroying harmful situations

— Awakening from the Daydream: Reimagining the Buddha’s Wheel of Life – by David Nichtern

Workshop will include meditation practice and instruction, talk and discussion. Open to all levels.

The Mindful Body: Understanding and Preventing Yoga Injuries. A workshop with Yogeswari and Dr. Lori Zucker

Part I: Standard Jivamukti Class highlighting common alignment problems
Part II: Alignment & (Potential) Injury Analysis

This workshop will explore common yoga injuries and their interconnected nature throughout the body. Starting with our foundation in the feet, we’ll trace the kinetic chain upward through the knees, hips, lower back, and shoulders to understand how misalignments and improper practice can lead to discomfort and injury.

In this workshop, you will gain:

Understanding of fundamental anatomy and biomechanics related to common yoga injuries Insight into how alignment in yoga poses can either contribute to or help prevent injuries Knowledge of the relationship between different body parts and how issues in one area can affect others and some practical tools for modifying poses to support healing and prevent future injuries

This interactive session welcomes both practitioners managing existing injuries and those seeking to deepen their practice through better anatomical awareness. You’ll have the opportunity to discuss your personal concerns, learn from others’ experiences, and receive guidance on your specific situation.
