Pathways to Liberation: Quick Matrix

Abbreviated list of skills (please click on link above for full depiction):

Presence	Being attentive to what is happening right now. Not lost in thinking, emotional reactions, etc.
Observing	Noticing (and possibly describing) our sensory and mental experiences, and distinguishing these experiences from the interpretations we ascribe to them.
Feelings awareness	Ability to identify and experience our physical sensations and emotions.
Self-acceptance	Accepting oneself with unconditional caring.
Taking ownership of one’sfeelings	Living from the knowledge that I alone cause my emotions – my emotions are not caused by others.
Needs consciousness	Awareness of (and the willingness to honor) needs, the essential universal elemental qualities of life (like sustenance, love and meaning).
Re-connecting to self & recovering from reactivity	Reactivity is internal resistance to what is. Recovery is letting go of that resistance. Re-connecting to self is being with one’s own experience with presence and compassion.
Request consciousness & making requests	Willingness to ask for what one wants, with openness to any response; not attached to any particular outcome.
Mourning	Transforming the suffering of loss; letting go of resistance to what is, and being willing to allow our experience to unfold.
Empathy	Being present with another’s experience, with unconditional acceptance of the person.
Dissolving enemy images	Transcending one’s perceptions that another deserves to be punished or harmed.
Discernment	Clarity, insight, and wisdom in making life-serving distinctions and choices; recognizing one has choice.
Living interdependently	Living from the knowledge that every individual is related to every other individual – every part of a system affects every other part.
Honest self-expression	Owning one’s experience and having the willingness to express authentically without blame or criticism.
Facilitating connection	Facilitating empathy and honesty in dialogue with an intent to create connection.
Patience	Remaining spaciously present when one feels stress. An ability to be with one’s own reactions, without acting out of them.
Responding to others’ reactivity	Responding rather than reacting to others who are caught up in intense separating emotions.
Openness to feedback	Receiving other’s perspective about our actions with equanimity and centeredness.
Beneficial regret	Acknowledging and learning from one’s missed opportunity to meet needs, without guilt, shame, or self-punishment.
Flexibility in relating	Openness and versatility in interacting with others.
Transforming conflict	Using conflict with others as a means to connect and create a mutual outcome.
Gratitude	Finding the value in, appreciating, and enjoying what is.
Openhearted flow of giving and receiving	Transforming scarcity thinking into thriving creatively; joyfully contributing and receiving.
Cultivating vitality	Tuning in to oneself to support balanced self-care; cultivating the energy to serve life.
Sharing power	Transforming domination; valuing everyone’s needs with mutuality and respect; transcending submission and rebellion.
Transcending roles	Aware that we are not the roles we play; having choice about what roles we adopt and how we respond to the roles others adopt.
Awareness of response-ability	Freely choosing one’s responses to what shows up in life, owning one’s part in what happens. Not owning others’ parts, and acknowledging that one’s actions do influence others.
Supporting holistic systems	Consciously participating in the creation and evolution of holistic systems that foster general well-being.
