GRIEF
Healing Sessions I offer unique grief counseling that provides healing at all levels: physical, emotional, and spiritual. Most of my clients describe the sessions as "powerful" and say they have never experienced anything like this before. In a typical session, you are with me for 1 1/2 hrs. Approximately 50 minutes of that time is on a massage table (fully clothed) receiving Reiki energy work while doing Guided Imagery. (The Guided Imagery component allows you to connect with your lost love one. I explain this further below). The balance of the session (before and after the table work) is spent getting to know each other so that I can better serve you and so you feel safe and comfortable with me. Our chat time will also be filled with education about spirit. This combination is extremely valuable. Please read on to better understand.
What Keeps us in Grief? Most of us have been taught that death is the end of life. The fact that the loved ones body is no longer there, we can no longer touch them or see them, solidifies this belief. We are trying to adjust to the void left behind but there are two things that I believe significantly add to our grief. Fear of the unknown and unfinished business.
The Importance of Experiencing all Aspects of the Grief? In general, Society is very uncomfortable with death. As a result, most people seem to be in such a hurry for you to "get over" your grief and loss. It seems that you are constantly being encouraged to "stuff it down" and "get on with your life". I am here to tell you first hand that ignoring your grief, thinking that time heals all wounds, doesn't work. The underlying issues of fear and unfinished business don't go away on their own. The will get quieter as time goes on, but they will most likely resurface and you will find yourself right back in the throws of grief as though it happened yesterday. We are all unique individuals and we each handle our grief uniquely. My mother and father lost two babies in their early years together. In addition, my father lost a four year old daughter from a previous marriage. They had both experienced these loses together but how they dealt with them were completely different. My mother decided at a subconscious level that if she didn't get close to anyone again, then she wouldn't get hurt again. As a result, she pushed away my father, and was never able to show affection for me or my sister. Thankfully, my father turned his grief in a different direction. He saw my sister and I as another chance to love and he was the most loving and affectionate father imaginable. Had it not been for my father's influence, I may have carried the legacy of a cold heart and raised my children without a hug or an "I love you". What a shame that would have been. Understand that how you deal with your grief obviously has a tremendous impact on you directly, but it also impacts all of your relationships. You owe it to yourself. the loved one that has passed, and your remaining loved ones to live through all aspects of your grief in order to heal. I have traveled the road of grief and I know now that I am at peace because when I think of my father there is no longer a sadness. I know he is safe and happy. I know he is here when ever I need him. I know I can talk to him and experience him in meditation (self guided imagery) or in my waking hours. In fact, as I am writing this I feel his presence and it brings tears to my eyes. But they are tears of joy because I have discovered the truth about eternal life. I still have my father, he is just missing his physicality. I have had to learn and adjust my perception of his existence. Just as a person that suddenly becomes blind must learn to use other senses to experience life. Because the person has lost their eye site, has everything around them disappeared? No, everything is still there, the blind person just needs to find a new way to function, a new way to experience.
How Can I Help You? As I mentioned before, we all have the ability to connect with spirit, we all have intuition and access to "all that is". By listening to my intuition and honoring my connection to "all that is", I help you to find the answers you are looking for, to mentor you on your spiritual journey. My goal is to guide people to the innate wisdom that lies within themselves. However, there are times when a client is having difficulty connecting. In these times, the spirit of their loved one speaks through me. I do not profess myself to be a John Edward or Sylvia Browne. Accessing such channeled information is not something I can turn on and off, it only seems to come through when it is needed.
