Healing the Soul
These are the key elements of our healing quest, as I have come to understand them:
- Becoming whole is one of our primary tasks in life.
- We are normally aware of only a small part of the totality that we really are.
- This totally that we are, is always trying to help us towards wholeness.
- Our personal journey is unique to us.
- We are given, or guided to, everything that we require on this journey by the wider consciousness in which we are always immersed. (Including the appropriate therapist at the right time).
- We are loved and cared for by those who watch over us.
- Our healing journey may contain challenges as well as help and support.
- We need to trust and to let go of anything we no longer require.
- The Universe is filled with consciousness and awareness.
- Healing is one of the highest forms of consciousness - when invited, it can and will transform anything.
- It is our responsibility to be open to receive what is given for our benefit.
We usually begin a session by talking through and exploring the dynamics underlying the present situation before moving into healing, when you may be simply lying, relaxed, open and receptive, or we may be simultaneously exploring your inner world and giving healing to what arises. This kind of session lasts for 1 - 1¼ hrs and might take place weekly or fortnightly for a period of time. It invariably reveals new perspectives and an expanded sense of self.
If we decide that we need to work at a soul level, we will need more time to drop into and to explore this deeper place and so arrange a session of 2 - 2½ hrs. It is difficult to describe the content of such a session as it has the quality of a different - though familiar - reality. We are functioning at a profound level of you and engaging with the interior dynamics that power your life. Although we enter it with clear intent, the journey unfolds in its own way. We may be drawn to circumstances that are deeply important and through processes that are both personal and meaningful; there is guidance, wisdom and compassion. There may be elements of myth, we may engage with archetypal figures or with historical figures from your past. How the session evolves cannot be anticipated but it is entirely relevant to you and to your circumstances, and is eventually brought to its own natural conclusion. Understanding, deep healing and transformation are natural and inevitable.
