How Long Will This Take?
We human beings are tricky. We can work really hard to become more conscious of our unwanted patterns. Then, just when we think we have some stuff worked out, new stuff (or deeper layers of old stuff) surfaces! Ugh! The truth is we never get it done. We are evolving emotionally and spiritually. And isn't that good news? How boring would life be, if we completely knew ourselves at say, 42 and then nothing new arises about ourselves, ever again. We'd be plugging along saying, "Same s&#t, different day." If you feel that way now, no matter what your age, your Life Force is BLOCKED!!! Sometimes, Life deals us an evolutionary boost, often packaged or recognized as crisis. Sometimes, we feel the pain of being blocked and proactively seek the boost for ourselves. I prefer the latter.
New
clients, who are coming to work on lifelong patterns, frequently ask,
"How many sessions will it take?" It's a valid question! These
sessions are an investment of time, money, and effort. I ask in
return, "How many, to do what, exactly?" Are we talking about, how
many to start feeling the effects of opening blocks to your beautiful
Life Force? Could be one! Are we talking about how many to sustain
opening? That depends on you. How many until you feel completely
satisfied with your life? To that I say, that sounds like complacency.
It's important to get clear on the question. Perhaps a better
question is, "How long until I get a sense of whether this work is
moving me in a good direction?" To that I would say, give it three or
four sessions. It takes varying amounts of time to feel safe enough to
really allow the gentle confrontation that you need. It takes time to
become conscious of the subtleties of blocking and opening. If you
could have mastered this yourself, quickly, you would have. The truth
is many of my clients work with me over a period of years, not because
that's how long it takes to "work". Rather, because after years, it's
still working! It's still supportive of the evolution they want. Some
clients stop for a while and come back for a workshop to get that
evolutionary boost. I DO know this, that your rate of evolution
correlates pretty well with your level of commitment to really face
yourself. You need support to see what you cannot see for yourself.
While you may feel the pain of resistance, at times, evolution means
expansion and expansion means pleasure. It's so worth it!
From
the practitioner side, I discover new aspects of myself, as I work to
support each unique client in the ways that they need. I get
super-vision for the things I cannot see for myself. I feel so
gratified by the expansion I feel, when I stand next to someone to get
an energetic understanding of the issue that is causing them to
struggle and then to find the way in...to shine light on some small
aspect that opens space for them to shift. I cannot think of work that
could be more pleasurable for me.
