A Natural Pace

​
​I'm settling in after a winter sabbatical in the summery warmth of the Baja peninsula. I spent the last four months moving at the speed of nature. I entered the rhythms of the sun and the moon. I watched the tide come and go. I expressed truth, and let desire move me. I moved at a natural pace, inside and out.

​I continue to embody the natural pace I lived during the last four months... but as I return to "normal" life, I can feel the pull of our culture's rhythm. It's a way we've adopted, of trying to move at the speed of technology. Its energy feels like a tight, high-pressured hum. It generates a false sense of urgency that instills tension and stress. It's insidious; you might not even be aware you've left your natural state of being. 

I didn't think I had, until a month into my sabbatical - free from my devices, tuned to nature - when I realized total stillness, peace and freedom.

Because of this natural pacing, I'm really noticing my feelings. I notice how when my attention moves to one place, it's withdrawn from another; and where I place my awareness in any moment affects my mental state, physical body, and emotions. Rather than responding quickly, I'm making new choices about when and how to engage with my life, other people and the world. This natural pacing creates a vast field of opportunity.

This is the spaciousness I offer my clients. We enter a healing relationship for a length of time, with clear focus and a natural rhythm. One session can feel profound and even life-changing - and then there's more. There's a deepening. Personal exploration unfolds naturally, for a conscious tending of your experience. The container is a place for a real honoring of you. There's time to test, in my office and in your life, whether the shifts you experience are actually integrated - and time to make adjustments, to bring about the integration you seek. There's time to assimilate and appreciate the fullness of the journey. I've been hearing from clients I saw last year about how grateful they are for the work we did together, and the ways they've changed. This is living alchemy, powerful and lasting.

The gifts from my sabbatical are evident in my life and my work with clients. I'm so very, very grateful. The integration process feels gentle and sure, sacred and spacious - a natural rhythm.

I currently have space for four more clients. If you're feeling drawn into a period of healing and personal evolution, please be in touch!
