The Karuna Care Association is offering three upcoming courses designed to help devotees better understand the emotional aspects of spiritual life and develop tools for personal growth and compassionate care. Together, the courses form a series titled Introduction to Emotional Awareness, though each course may also be taken individually.
The first course, Name Your Feelings, Tame Your Mind, explores how recognizing and identifying emotions can deepen self-understanding and guide wiser choices. While emotions are often ignored or misunderstood, they strongly influence our behavior and relationships. Participants will learn the “language of emotions” and how greater emotional awareness can support spiritual growth.
The second course, The Impact of Grief on Spiritual Life, examines how loss and grieving are natural parts of life’s many transitions. Whether the loss involves relationships, roles, or identity, grief requires time and conscious attention to process. This course helps participants understand how acknowledging grief can support healing and allow us to move forward in a healthy way.
The third course, Trauma and Addiction, looks at how early childhood experiences shape our ability to trust others and influence our relationship with the Divine. When caregivers are reliable, children develop a sense that their needs will be met. When trauma or neglect occurs, it can affect a person’s ability to trust or feel that their prayers will be heard. The course explores how awareness and healing can help restore trust and deepen faith.
While each course can be taken on its own, Karuna Care encourages participants to take all three as the Introduction to Emotional Awareness series, as the courses build on one another to provide a fuller understanding of emotional life and spiritual development.
