Counselling an exploration to unlock one’s potential
During our earliest days we absorb without the benefit of any filtering mechanism, the beliefs and assumptions of our family of origin. Motivated to decrease pain and increase pleasure we continually adjust our behavior. This process eventually determines our assumptions about life and our type of personality. In time it may become apparent that our assumptions determine how life should be, and prevent authentic connection with what is, with life itself. Because our assumptions are who we believe we are, our tunnel vision may prevent our seeing them. However in times of stress they can show up as; Difficulty is being authentic in a close relationship, Sabotaging the way we want to live, Not able to speak up for ourselves, Believing we cannot change how we are, and so on.

Counselling helps these and many similar issues. Sharing what needs to be heard about one’s self can begin a deep exploration into one’s self.

Counselling can enable the realization of one’s full potential to unfold.

Meditation the journey to one’s spiritual nature
The many benefits of regular meditation are well documented. They show a marked reduction in; Addictive tendencies Anxiety Aggressive behavior Depression High blood pressure Impatience Insomnia Lack of purpose Low self esteem Tiredness. The tendency for beginners is to experience a lot of mental chatter and restlessness, when trying to hold a single thought, and to simply give up. However with perseverance a deeper aware of our being emerges. Perhaps the voice of our inner critic telling us how it should be. We may experience emotional pain grief or disappointment, anger sadness or hatred; it can be quite a journey. These experiences are all perfectly normal, as indeed are the flashes or insights into the essential spiritual nature of our being.

Meditation leads to an increasing awareness of the wonder of life, to what is, and to inner peace.

The First Appointment
A brief discussion with new clients usually determines what they have in mind, what has worked in the past, and their medical history. This maximizes the outcome for the client. The session may be all massage, all counseling, or a combination of both. If required it may also include some meditation instruction.

It is an organic process determined by the client’s needs and what emerges during the session.
