Centering Tools: Holistic Counseling since 1987
Holistic counseling practice since 1987
We truly earn our wisdom through being wholly responsible for our lives; and daring to choose what we come to know in our heart of hearts is right and supports our authentic selves is a sacred act of separating out and choosing with higher clarity and awareness. These choices, in turn, always support the greater good.
As we center, let go and trust we increase awareness, understand what’s real, and empower ourselves . . . so do we relax, release and recharge ourselves and our life. Then we are free to choose and create – endlessly.
Here is a writing exercise I created to release guilt, shame and blame for you to try. I invite you to settle back, close your eyes, and take several easy, deep, cleansing breaths. . . As you sense your breathing becoming automatic in its regular, opening rhythm, for your next several breaths say the word free to yourself. Observe your sensations . . . and then for the next minute or so, say to yourself in this sequence the following three sentences – one at a time for several breaths, followed by the second, then the third: . . . I am free from guilt . . . I am free from blame . . . I am free from shame . . . Continue to observe your sensations as you fully experience your easy, deep, regular breaths. Then say repeatedly to yourself for a minute or two, I forgive . . . and I am forgiven . . .
Always, the Real Challenge to Trust – I ask you to trust yourself and your own innate capacity to create newly and expansively, to be better able to support and sustain yourself and those you love as we move into this pivotal fall season. Know that all you so lovingly offer and honestly experience yourself is all you can really offer in the world – and what the world most greatly needs now.
Look for the truth of what is happening in your heart and your gut, and be willing to travel through the unfolding layers of your emotional pain and fear to the deepest levels of awareness you can access to uncover it . . . Understand that where love isn’t, the real challenge for transformational healing and greater wholeness is . . .
THE PRESENT IS THE POINT OF POWER . . . Return to Greater Wholeness, and Free Yourself
I have, through my ongoing channeling, experienced a whole new way to enter the “space of no-thing – the endless present”. I have found it to be an infinite space of wholeness and physical, mental, emotional, spiritual belonging of equally endless possibility and freedom to choose . . . to simply be. All else simply falls away in this place of detachment and presence. Here we can change through our unleashed divine will, understanding all else is delusion. Therefore, we allow, freely create, and heighten awareness from a place of greater, developing understanding. Here are my recommendations for you to try . . .
Over and over again in my work with clients, we uncover what is an overwhelmingly common core conflict. It always comes down to fundamentally not accepting yourself.
From this awareness we then link and understand that this is delusional and bullying behavior that sets the stage for further violating, blaming, victimizing, rationalizing, and addictive responses.
Can Self-Acceptance Be the Key to Becoming Whole?
My Latest Favorite Chic Flick A couple of weeks ago I knew it was once again time for me to beat a quick, definitive path to the nearest movie theater alone, to catch the latest chic flick that caught my eye. I ended up watching a movie I thoroughly enjoyed, The Jane Austin Book Club. …
