  12. Gifts we gain when we own our feelings Feelings have intelligence

  13. Self acceptance

  14. How do you feel about yourself or others in the situation?

  15. Self –Acceptance is being and neutral and compassionate. I am tiny and imperfect, yet lovable. Krsna loves me unconditionally- I will make the change because I wish to reciprocate with His love How could I do something so stupid? I did it because she triggered me. Its not my fault Hmm. That was not very nice of me to respond like that. I really hurt her. She must have felt terrible I lovingly accept myself with my imperfect parts. I don’t have to convince myself or others that I was perfect in responding in the wrong way. I care for myself .

  16. Am I comfortable with myself being imperfect? Can I tolerate myself with my imperfect parts? • Step 2:Self Acceptance • Don’t beat yourself up • Don’t cover for yourself • Be neutral and compassionate!! • I am tiny, imperfect and lovable • I deeply care for myself, my relationship with Krishna • Krsna is loving , He accepts us completely with all our faults • Compassionate to my own myself- accepting myself in that situation then from the platform I can bring about some change. • E.g. If we hurt someone but they still love us , then we are inspired to make a change so we do not hurt them again . E.g parents love their child anyway- so the child feels the impetus to change.

  17. Step 2:Self Acceptance • From Acceptance comes Transformation

  18. Activating the natural internal pause button The need for prayer and surrender

  19. Bg 2.62 — While contemplating the objects of the senses, a person develops attachment for them, and from such attachment lust develops, and from lust anger arises.Bg 2.63 — From anger, complete delusion arises, and from delusion bewilderment of memory. When memory is bewildered, intelligence is lost, and when intelligence is lost one falls down again into the material pool.

  20. Step 4:Prayer • We feel humbled by our behavior. • We find this internal work very hard to do on our own • We cry out the Holy Names so Krsna protects us from ourselves

  21. Bg 2.64 — But a person free from all attachment and aversion and able to control his senses through regulative principles of freedom can obtain the complete mercy of the Lord. • Bg 2.65 — For one thus satisfied [in Kṛṣṇa consciousness], the threefold miseries of material existence exist no longer; in such satisfied consciousness, one’s intelligence is soon well established. • Bg 2.66 — One who is not connected with the Supreme [in Kṛṣṇa consciousness] can have neither transcendental intelligence nor a steady mind, without which there is no possibility of peace. And how can there be any happiness without peace?

  22. Thinking , Feeling and Willing is about pleasing Krsna and His devotees Thinking, Feeling and willing is limited to the body and its effects. Thus we create different bodies for enjoyment! Material Pool

  23. Spirit Soul is separate from thinking , feeling and willing that takes place at the Bodily Level

  24. The 9 fold processes of devotional service make our thinking, feeling and willing centered around Krsna!

  32. What is Real Pride?

  33. utsāhānniścayāddhairyāt tat-tat-karma-pravartanāt saṅga-tyāgātsatovṛtteḥ ṣaḍbhirbhaktiḥprasidhyati • There are six principles favorable to the execution of pure devotional service: (1) being enthusiastic, (2) endeavoring with confidence, (3) being patient, (4) acting according to regulative principles [such as śravaṇaṁkīrtanaṁviṣṇoḥsmaraṇam – hearing, chanting and remembering Kṛṣṇa], (5) abandoning the association of nondevotees, and (6) following in the footsteps of the previous ācāryas. These six principles undoubtedly assure the complete success of pure devotional service. Enthusiasm and Determination Step 5:Patience

  34. As we do this internal work…….. • We sometimes see previously hidden aspects of our own makeup, of our personality and character. • Often these aspects were hidden only from us and not from others. These shocking new glimpses of ourselves, these realizations that we are not exactly who we thought we were, may bring disappointment. • They arise naturally as a result of our inner work and present us with a choice. • We may wallow in self-pity and self-hatred and, thereby, short-circuit the process of practice. • Or we may simply accept that the good in us exists alongside the not-so-good, and practice with renewed vigor toward transformation. • Not necessarily seeking to change the details of our personality, but rather seeking to change our being.

  35. The Holy Name and the processes of devotional service bring us to the Lotus Feet of Krsna. As a by product they remove all the causes of suffering and distress. • The techniques discussed here can support our devotional practices and the chanting of the Holy Names.
