In this very interactive class we explore the role expectations play in our lives; their significance and why we hold them so dear…even the low ones.

In this very interactive Satsang we explore the concepts of conflict and desire. Our exploration is in no way heady or analytical. On the contrary, we explore from our guts because what we are seeking to discover are our deepest connotations for these words. Why this is so very helpful is because our connotations for words determine our experience of them. Because most times we have no idea what our actual connotations are, unearthing them can bring both insight and relief. The third concept we explore in this Satsang is the expression “makes me feel”. Because this expression permeates our language and is so evocative it is an especially revelatory one.

This is a follow up session from the previous “Freedom of Thought with Esther Veltheim (11/15/22).

“Man is born free and everywhere he is in chains.” These words were uttered over 300 years ago by philosopher and revolutionary thinker Jean-Jacques Rousseau. But today, it is the second part of Rousseau’s sentence that most of us relate to—“everywhere in chains”—as we spend our entire lives struggling to free ourselves from ties that seem to bind us everywhere we turn. Immersed in this misguided pursuit, the first four words of Rousseau’s famous quote continue to fall short of our strongly defended hearts. “Man is born free…” In this Freedom of Thought class, this is our entire focus, to find ways of shedding light on anything and everything that has us experiencing otherwise. Esther Veltheim Esther is the Creator of the BreakThrough System and Co-Founder of the International BodyTalk Association (IBA). She resides in Europe and teaches advanced, interactive workshops in BreakThrough, in-person and online. She also runs ongoing BreakThrough Instructor Training programs and offers private, online BreakThrough sessions.

Although the BreakThrough System preceded BodyTalk by five years, relatively few people in the BodyTalk community and beyond have ever experienced it. “There is another way!” In fact, there are myriad “other ways” of being, living, and experiencing. The only reason we experience feeling “stuck” or limited or stressed by life is because we rely on our minds to ask questions. Unfortunately, most of us have forgotten that our master questioner is our curiosity. If you are a seasoned “BreakThrougher,” you will enjoy this gathering immensely, as it will give you yet another way of looking at things. For those new to BreakThrough, this will provide you with a powerful, transformational experience of the work.

About REIKI Conciliation:

The Reiki community is growing every day. It is present in hospitals in Germany, in prisons in Brazil, in nurseries in Hong Kong and in families everywhere. Since 1992 I have made my living with Reiki. Together with my wife, I have had the honour to initiate thousands of people. I have been in various professional associations, sometimes at their helm during tumultuous times. With the work as presented on this website I want to contribute to conciliation in the Reiki world so that current and future generations are free of remnants of dissonance from the past. Conciliation aims at co-existence, honoring – even celebrating – diversity. René Vögtli
