Philosophy

We are taught that we are supposed to be happy, and if we are not happy, something is wrong. And, so begins the search outside of ourselves for substitute fulfillments to lessen the restlessness created by our minds idea of how to be happy and how to find the joy in life. Along the road of our very human life, we are introduced to many ways to soften the blow of life’s honesty, rawness, discomforts and disappointments.

As humans, we are a work in progress, with flashes of awareness that something is missing; that there is a deeper calling other than the survival instinct of seeking pleasure and avoiding pain. In this modern era of evolution, we are invited to inquire more carefully into the structure of this mind-made idea of self that we call “me”, and ask, “What else is here that lies in the spaciousness between thoughts?”

This spaciousness is a deeper dimension of consciousness where, once triggered, opens an awareness that has been dormant. The voice in the head has been busted as simply being a mental construct of collected beliefs and family history. This recognition changes everything, and is the most important moment of a life.

Change happens naturally when we begin to lean toward our deeper selves, toward our humanness, and say to it, “Hello, welcome, I’m here for you!”. With this welcome we begin the journey of becoming intimate with who we are … our whole selves, and with what we truly want. Lasting change happens from the inside out.

When our perspective shifts to a heightened sense of aliveness—perhaps through being awed by the vastness of a cobalt-blue sky, or the wide-open, innocent eyes of a young child— aliveness wakes up! These moments are examples of where thinking is freed and a deeper dimension is revealed. The stream of consciousness is temporarily halted, thoughts rest, and pure existence is present. In this moment the trance of identification is broken, and the freedom of being fully yourself awakens.

Through the modalities of Life Coaching, Hypnotherapy, Energy Medicine & Stress management practices, I will support you in navigating through life in a new way, awakening your true nature and discovering what thoughts are in the way of what you really want. We will look at invisible thinking; we will look at your habitual inner dialogue; we will inquire at how to look toward what is already stable and doesn’t change; and we will look at building a life that you don’t have to escape from!

Transpersonal Life Coaching

As humans, we often get lost and become intoxicated with our own stories. We lose sight of our natural resilient health. From early childhood we are conditioned to believe that our thought-created ideas and beliefs are real, creating who we are. With curiosity, we can navigate through life in a new way.

When our survival mind feels threatened, strategies come into play to feel safe and secure. Habitual coping skills are created and designed by the mind to avoid feeling the discomfort of fear, stress, or insecurity. Waking up to what is beyond the thought-based experience of discomfort, is a deeper calling.

Lives change when we look at experience without a story! The play of life continues within a freshness that is direct and insightful. When the lens of curiosity opens, we discover that “feeling” is simply energy moving through our bodies. It has no agenda until thought creates a story. We are in the presence of our true selves when the inner commentary, judging our feelings, rests.

Within a transpersonal life-coaching session, a new conversation begins to evolve where the drama of your inner commentary quiets, and insight behind the curtain of humanness becomes illuminated. Your natural default of ease and clarity is set free.

Coaching sessions inspire and activate your readiness to become more open with your feelings, with your relations, and with your life. Thoughts begin to be seen as simply a collection of subjective stories. Realizing the spaciousness beyond the melodrama of ordinary thought cracks the mis-identification toward who you really are, opening a new reality familiar to your soul. When awareness awakens, awe and wonder become your daily experience of existence, and your life becomes whole and intimate.

Hypnotherapy

Hypnotherapy, as a modality for healing, involves creating a safe and relaxed state for clients to explore their subconscious mind. Asking the ordinary mind to rest allows an individual the opportunity to access their natural healing voice and true desires.

During a session, going into a relaxed yet focused state of awareness gives clients permission for the essential subconscious self to express itself. Trauma, stress-related issues, anxiety, addiction, and the unseen messages of childhood, can be uncovered and rewritten.

Within a hypnotherapy session, clients rehearse how to integrate and anchor transformation into the present, connect with resources, honor the past, open to the treasure beneath wounds, and make room for life to be seen from the heart.

Energy Medicine

Energy Medicine bestows a new integrity upon the term “medicine”. It provides a language for us to talk directly to the body, asking where its strengths and weaknesses lie.

Energy medicine has the unique and wonderous ability to re-pattern the body’s energies, and to invite balance and harmony. With harmony comes a reverberation that supports and strengthens the entire system of aliveness. When energy is balanced and has the space to flow and move easily, the organs and organ systems shine in light and vitality.

Nourishment of yourself is the best preventative medicine. We are constantly being challenged to change, grow, move, volunteer, contribute, protest, diet, exercise. To respond to the challenges of life, we must have the energy to follow through. The way to gain this energy is by giving yourself proper nourishment. Challenge must be balanced with nourishment.

The Five-Minute Daily Routine, developed by Donna Eden, is a wonderful support for all systems of energy medicine—it keeps the energy field calm! The routine is simple and can benefit anyone living in our stress-producing, polluted, energy-scrambling world. The routine is available to all clients to learn. It builds positive habits into your energy field. The exercises are simple, potent and cumulative, boosting and restoring energy. They improve coordination and clear thinking; relieve mental congestion; sharpen memory; clear stagnant and toxic energies; stimulate fresh energy to flow through joints; connect energies together so they operate as a single web; and protect you from negative energies that might be around you. Wow!

Energy exercises awaken and nourish the life force in your whole being, transporting energy to all systems. These systems need regular attention, and when moving freely, support the body staying healthy, or support the body in recovering when weak. (Click here to download)
