Short description of Upkesha Method:
The purpose of the Upeksha method is to offer the knowledge on how to deconstruct and go back all the way to reclaim who we are and how to be part of the patterned/relative world without getting lost in the duality or patterned world. The Upeksha method invites you to remember the primary principle, which is, "Step back and Soften." See how things are place in their roles and purpose. When we zoom out and soften, it helps us to act with clarity and simplicity. When we participate with awareness, every step becomes letting go of what is not valid.
