Basic Structure of a session:

 

Divine Witnessing:

At the foundation and beginning of every session is what I call "Divine Witnessing." Essentially, being Divinely Witnessed is being held in a field of respect, compassion, integrity and love while expressing and exploring your inner world of thoughts, feelings and sensations.

 

Compassionate Inquiry:

Before each session, you will be supplied with a few questions for exploring your heart and soul. Once you arrive on Zoom, we will settle into sacred space together and you will be invited to share your intention and your responses to the questions, as well as to bring forward the challenges and questions you are currently working with.

 

Alchemical Listening:

I will listen to you from a neutral, non-judgmental, compassionate place, the way our higher self listens to us. This means I will refrain from giving excessive verbal and non-verbal feedback. This will provide space without unnecessary input so that you can really hear, feel and witness yourself without being interrupted, influenced or otherwise shaped by external feedback.

​

Energetic Clearing and Empowering Guidance:

And so, when you reach a point of feeling that you have said your peace, I may then ask you additional questions, based on what you have shared to go a little deeper. I may have you “try on” a sentence, mantra or affirmation to see what that touches inside you. It is also possible that we may do an energetic clearing of some kind to flush the energy. Empowering guidance will be given as appropriate and will be based on reflecting the wisdom, insight and authenticity coming through you from your soul. Every session is unique.

 

My Role:

The purpose of this work is to create a sacred space of divine witnessing to explore the evolutionary questions necessary to empower you into greater soul alignment and embodiment of your true nature. While I will be encouraging and compassionate, I will not be dispensing "advice." I will guide you again and again back to your own genius, innocence and intuition. The whole aim is to strengthen your connection to your own inherent Divinity, the Source of love and genius, already whole and complete within you, though perhaps not as accessible as you would like.

 

Explanation:

When we express ourselves in Life, the feedback we get from others and/or from our own internal reactions, immediately begins to affect, shape, interrupt, and influence our experience. This can leave us feeling that we weren’t fully seen, heard or expressed—that we were not able to make our point in the way we intended, causing us to feel confused, unfulfilled or drained. As a whole, we have not yet learned to truly listen to ourselves or each other. That is the experience this container can provide. It is vitally important for our development, individually and collectively, that we learn to truly listen and communicate with presence. The best teacher for this is to actually experience this kind of listening support: to be able to be fully received, heard, and spaciously LISTENED to, without interruption, without judgment and with full presence.

 

It can feel awkward, vulnerable, or uncomfortable at first to be on the receiving end of this kind of fully-presenced, loving attention. Most of us are not used to actually being listened to without agenda or feedback! We can even become addicted to receiving immediate feedback to the point that we don’t even know where we stand without it! This type of work will help to acclimatize you to this spacious, generous attention and break the habit of being unsettled within and looking for outside validation…though it may take some getting used to! 

 

Benefits: 

• SELF-LOVE: Self-trust, inner patience, self-compassion and self-respect. 

• By experiencing this kind of alchemical listening, you will experientially understand the value of being truly and fully seen and heard. Thus, you will become a better listener both within and without. 

• Your standards for communication will level-up and you will become a more skilled and aware communicator. 

• You will be able to tune in more easily to your inner world and become less reactive as you gain inner effectiveness at compassionately witnessing yourself. 

• With practice, solutions/insights/intuitions will more easily and naturally arise within you as you cultivate this non-judgmental, witnessing space for yourself.

 

Purpose: 

• To provide a sacred and safe listening container so that you can align with your higher wisdom and presence. 

• To empower your capacity to hear, feel and be present with what is happening inside of you, beyond the static, fear, noise, pain, and distraction of everyday life and/or in the midst of a challenge. 

• To self-source and bring forth your own insights, wisdom, and solutions under the care of a wise and loving guide.

• To cultivate your inner space as a safe and sturdy container for your own internal experience and exploration.

 

Commentary:

Being witnessed is essential for authentic growth, evolution and maturation—mentally, emotionally, spiritually, and even physically. Being divinely witnessed gives us practice staying present and connected in our bodies while speaking, thinking and feeling. There is a lot of work that we can and must do for ourselves while we are on our own, but being witnessed with love and space allows for a whole other dimension of growth to move in and strengthen us, supporting our personal evolution in a way nothing else can.

 

It is important to note that you will be talking to and for yourself as much or more than you are talking to me. This is ultimately about learning how to listen and communicate within yourself amidst the thoughts and emotions that move through you. It is realizing that you are the experiencing space which contains thoughts and emotions rather than being completely absorbed by them. It is practicing this awareness and getting more comfortable reporting on what is happening inside rather than being completely identified and carried away by it that will incrementally free you from the inside out. 

 

I also want to emphasize that we very much need a safe place to feel, voice and experience what is ACTUALLY happening within us, no matter how gross/icky/irrational/angry/sad/stressed it is. That being said, this is not an unconscious venting or complaining space. It IS a space to consciously allow yourself (and me) to BE WITH all that is arising, WITHOUT denying, repressing, judging or bypassing it. You are learning to consciously BE with yourself, AS this divine witness you already are, though perhaps unpracticed. I will be embodying this for you so that you can have a visceral experience, strengthening this skill as it continues to come online within you.
