Lean into the change your soul is seeking

Something has to die to seed a new beginning. In these two lectures, Dr. Ashok Bedi shares stories of the soul’s instinct for finding what it needs for renewal. Bedi speaks from his Hindu tradition of Kali, the Goddess of destruction, and Adita, the Goddess of the void. With humor and charm, Bedi encourages us to engage the void, for that is where the gods speak to us. That is where healing images emerge. That is where the soul finds new ways to enter the world.

Make a fresh start with hope and strength, guided by the wisdom of the depths.  

Course Description

In this two hour course Dr. Ashok Bedi brings his enthusiasm, experience and multi-cultural roots to the topic of new beginnings. 

A veteran Jungian analyst, Bedi assures us we can find support from the soul when we face emptiness. He relates clinical cases that show how archetypal forces step in when we’re lost. He joyfully shares personal anecdotes about finding guidance from the imaginal realm. 

Bedi affirms that something must end for something else to begin. He describes the goddess Kali as an archetype of when we’re in darkness. She executes a pruning of the ego, a cleaning out of what’s no longer useful or alive. Bedi describes Jung’s crisis with Freud and the Red Book that grew as a result. We see that times of mental breakdown can be precious times to trim the tree of our psyche.

With a symbolic approach to images and events, we seed our soul with new ways to engage the world. Ashok leads us through an exercise with a few photographs in which we play with evocative images to discover our habits of perception. We can take that as a clue about how to move in a new way.

Dr. Bedi illustrates his perspective on new beginnings and change, and tells tales of Aditi, the goddess of the void, the realm of the Mothers where new life is gestated. Void means you’ve emptied your ego adaptations. This makes room for the soul to step in. 

Bedi talks about the rules of engagement with the threshold to the unconscious. We learn that when the relationship between ego and soul is that of equals, growth rather than stress can be an outcome of trauma. 

With Dr. Bedi’s conviction that we are celestial beings on Earth, the imaginal becomes real. You can feel the new beginnings that are at your feet and fingertips.
