Subtleties of Spirit
Lightness of Being Series Part 1
In this introduction, we will familiarize ourselves with the lataif and talk about how they can support us in living a harmonious life.
Joy of Being
Lightness of Being Series Part 2
It is true that the spiritual journey requires steadfastness, discipline, and courage. But the yellow latifa – the sunny expression of the heart – is what also makes it fun.
Boldness to Be
Lightness of Being Series Part 3
The red latifa is a quality needed on the inward journey in order to challenge our assumptions and patterns around being big, vibrant, and alive.
Will to Be
Lightness of Being Series Part 4
Rather than controlling or trying to control, the Diamond Approach sees will as something that aligns us with the harmonious unfoldment of reality.
Stillness of Being
Lightness of Being Series Part 5
The black latifa brings the absence of fear, self-doubt, and inner agitation. It is a living presence of stillness, silence, and peace that is our birthright and our true nature.
Treasure of Loving-Kindness
Lightness of Being Series Part 6
Our biggest hurdle to understanding the mysteries of the heart is our pain. By working with the green latifa, we come to appreciate our pain for the portal that it is. If we follow the crumbs of our experience, we can start to discover the deep core of our heart.
