EMA – The Art of Compliment Giving and Receiving

Become a Black Belt

Did you know most people have more difficulty accepting a compliment than giving one? Howard E. Richmond, M.D. begins this Satsang* by showing us with storytelling and humor, how to overcome discomfort from receiving compliments and uncover the hidden emotions that commonly get in the way.

Dr. H and his Transformational Sound Healers will then lead us with live music in a sound healing experience that gently deepens the power of the work of EMA (i.e., the transformational work of non-egotistical self-acceptance) through music, guided imagery and meditation.

Discover the highest truth about emotions, reality and perception. Experience what it’s like to get an “emotional tune-up” and release unwanted tension in body and mind where emotions and negative beliefs accumulate.

After the guided imagery, some participants may want to volunteer and share a “story” or challenge with Dr. H in order to practice becoming more comfortable accepting as well as giving compliments with mindful intention. Whether sharing or just observing this process unfold, you will gain valuable insights.

Improve the quality of your relationships, increase your capacity to be more fully present and bring more joy into your life. Like martial arts, this skill set needs to be practiced again and again so it becomes reflexive and automatic. Learn with a black belt and receive the gift of waging inner peace.

Please bring a mat, pillow or blanket to ensure your comfort lying on the floor. Chairs available if preferred.
