Beat the Clock by Changing Your Personal Time
A Highly Experiential, One-day Workshop Teaching Integrated Methods To Do Anything Faster While Improving Well-Being
Like a personal space, we have a personal time, the time it typically takes us to process a bit of information. Personal time is like a frequency of awareness, a cycle time that we can learn to speed up and slow down, opening up new levels of performance and well-being. The ordinary ego is incapable of keeping up with the accelerating changes presented by time. However, awareness need not be subject to limitations of ego: "By learning to be sensitive to the infinity of 'time' available within any clock-time period, we can begin to appreciate more fully the value and possibilities life presents." (Tarthang Tulku, Dimensions of Thought)
How can we change personal time? A proven methodology does exist: (1) We balance our breathing in order to gradually but directly transform anxiety and time pressures. (2) We need to consistently recognize the tendency to see time as a linear sequence of discrete, yet connected 'atomic' moments. This can be implemented by exercises that look for ever more subtle and 'frequent' moments between moments. (3) We need to see how the self is driven to seek goals and fulfillment in a future positioned away from 'here'. This can be fostered by an exercise that experiments with reversing the 'normal' temporal structure, looking from points in the future back toward the past (we don't need to stop thinking about the future). (4) We need to see how clock time is independent of personal time, which can be done by watching the second hand of a clock while observing fluctuations in the feelings of time passing. (5) We need to quickly see through the positioning of self and mental events, which can be practiced during simple card sorting exercises. In this workshop you will get extensive practice with these methods.
