The thoughts you have and the feelings that present themselves

seek expression and release.

I invite you to “Welcome Up” every feeling and thought and then let them go. They can be like passing clouds, often beautiful though sometimes challenging to be around on stormy days. They are impossible to possess.

We seem to have the most challenging times when we hold onto the energy of our thoughts and feelings and are unable to let them go. 

“They are meant to be released easily and effortlessly.”

Creativity, wisdom, intuition, happiness and success are  directly related to our willingness to release old programs, tapes, and the energy stored in the body. We typically push down that energy, resisting it and repressing it.

We may even judge and disapprove of the very thoughts and feelings that are there. That is the way most of us learned to deal with the stresses of life.

Learning to mindfully listen to the messages of the mind-body and its unique way of communicating brings greater peace, and healing with each moment.

Consciousness and unconsciousness, includes the physical, mental, emotional and Spiritual energies which are in a constant state of movement, otherwise known as waves. All energy is moving.

The aim is to stay present in the face of stressful situations and allow everything to come and go freely.

A Mindful, Spiritual, psychological, approach recognizes the essential self above and beyond the Egoic self, i.e.: (the personality level, duality, and the mentalizer self).

The Soul or Essential self recognizes that all of the issues and situations we encounter involve learning opportunities necessary for our progression.

Meet  what you find “unacceptable and painful” in your life,  with that same passion, love, and intensity of energy  that you meet the things in your life that you find acceptable and suddenly you will have what you have always really wanted.

Could you love and accept the suffering and pain that arises inside of you with the same kind of passion that you would love and accept all the happiness in you?

Meet “what is” with passion,  acceptance and joy and freedom will be yours.

It will not matter one way or the other whether you have that person or thing you have desired or wanted. In fact you will be allowing yourself to let go of ”the wanting or desiring” where  control, approval and safety are  involved.  Often these are the areas we  find ourselves in conflict over.

In those moments you can allow those energies to be released and to be let go of. You  will experience more loving, joy, healing and energy.

You will naturally and easily be free to discern your next steps.

We naturally and inherently have all the wisdom and resources within us already, the energies that block our natural selves await release.

“The Truth is simple,

if it were complicated everyone would understand”

I support each of my clients with their unique way of moving through life and their commitment to make it their intention, to take the most appropriate steps they believe is appropriate to take. I look forward to working with you and deeply supporting you in your process of change and transformation.
