Freedom is what everyone wants – at least on paper
Freedom is a fundamental right of every living being and yet it is one of the most violated rights in existence.
The violation of freedom happens in so many forms that we may not even realize it anymore-it happens from the moment of our first womb and it happens in such an ongoing, progressive, enveloping way that we soon forget what it really means to be free. Then there come times during one’s life when that ancient memory of freedom resurfaces and arouses in each of us a longing for hope, a desire, a willingness, a rebellion, a search for freedom.
And here the first question (one of many) related to the search for freedom opens up: where is it? how do you find yourself?
The search for freedom is often perpetrated “outside,” travel, physical distancing from people or situations, actual escapes are some of the systems we attempt to find our freedom. In short, we act something “outside” that can “free” us from what makes us feel unfree (inside).
When we fail to do this, or as we attempt to do this amidst a thousand difficulties, we often find ourselves coming to terms with our AGGRESSIVITY‘, an energy with an ‘animal’ flavor that if not recognized, known, accepted and used in the right way can create harm to ourselves to those around us by moving us further and further away from the agonistic condition of freedom.
Aggression an emotion as feared as it is stigmatized.
Pretending it doesn’t exist, concealing it, controlling it without understanding it (you may have already tried) is counterproductive, alienates you from your truth and, in the long run, is exponentially self-feeding.
What lies behind aggression or fear of aggression?
We will discover in the same evening what anger, guilt, fear and many other emotions are that are part of our daily emotional scenario; we will learn to understand their origins and purposes, becoming aware of how they can actually be functional in the realization of our happiness.
It is a case, therefore, of getting to know our AGGRESSIVE (or passive/aggressive) side in order to then set out on the path toward acquiring true
AUTONOMY
.
How many of us think we are self-reliant, perhaps because we are working and financially independent, or because from an early age we have been used to fending for ourselves? But is this really being AUTONOMY?
How hard do you struggle to do everything by yourself? How does it make you feel to think that you can only rely on your own strength? Does being autonomous mean being free?
A useful indicator we will look at to understand your relationship with autonomy are relationships (friendships, family, couple). We will discover together what autonomy really is and what we have believed it to be instead by making it an act of will.
Hand in hand with autonomy, on the path to freedom, goes the
COURAGE TO DISAPPOINT
: learning to disappoint is one of the greatest gifts you can give yourself: how much of your life, how many choices, how many renunciations, how many sacrifices have you sacrificed on the altar of fear of disappointment? Perhaps the fear of disappointment has grown with you and even though you find yourself being an established adult it continues to vibrate in you and hold you captive. We will discover together what stands between you and the courage to disappoint, what has led you to be bound to this kind of addiction, and how you can finally let go and continue lightly on your journey to freedom.
Once you know your aggression and learn how to use it, understand what autonomy is and how to achieve it, you will be ready to
ENCOUNTER LOVE,
love for yourself and love for a partner, a friend, a child…Love with a capital A.
How many times did you think it was love and instead…?
What does it mean to live a loving relationship? What is not a love relationship?
How many other feelings are often hidden behind relationships? (need, lack, fear of loss, fear of not being seen/loved/wanted, and more).
We clear the field of ideas, fears, conditioning (mostly not our own) and learn to open ourselves to Love as a source of life, warmth, nourishment, freedom.
Now that life can flow back into us and we can touch freedom with our own hands, let us address one last theme that will put us in a position to no longer fear fear.
When you have given up freedom for a lifetime, once you have it again it is likely that you have absolutely no idea how to handle it. If someone has always told me what to do, how to do it, when to do it … it is likely that in freedom I will not be able to do anything different from what I am used to doing because I have never done it. Or again, if, for example, I have been dieting for a lifetime, that is, I have created a protective fence for myself with respect to my conflicted relationship with food, there is a risk that the day I find myself free to eat what I want…I will fall into excess-because I don’t know how to manage my freedom my ability to self-determine.
And so many people live “self-segregating” spaces of freedom for fear of not knowing how to handle them, of overdoing it, of making trouble.
We will then learn how to
MANAGE FREEDOM
, so that we are no longer afraid of it and can use it for our own good. This appointment will come in September after a short summer break to complement the work done in the previous months. To begin what for many is the New Year (the resumption of activities after the summer) with clarity and FREEDOM.
