Healing Journey Explored

Why do we keep going back to the same lessons during our healing journey? Over and Over and Over again!!! I was delighted to rediscover this short verse which so beautifully describes the dance we all play along the path of our healing journey.  Growth is never straight forward. It can at times feel thick with frustration and overwhelming emotion. No wonder we feel like we take one step forward and three (at times twenty three) steps backwards! Fall forward, stay on track, keep to your path.

I hope you love this as much as I do!  



There’s a Hole in My Sidewalk:
The Romance of Self-Discovery by Portia Nelson  

Chapter 1
I walk down the street.
There is a deep hole in the sidewalk.
I fall in. I am lost….I am helpless.
It isn’t my fault.
It takes forever to find a way out. Chapter 2
I walk down the same street.
There is a deep hole in the side walk.
I pretend I don’t see it. I fall in again.
I can’t believe I am in the same place.
But it isn’t my fault.
It still takes a long time to get out. Chapter 3
I walk down the same street.
There is a deep hole in the sidewalk.
I see it is there.
I fall in….it’s a habit…but my eyes are open.
I know where I am. It is my fault.
I get out immediately. Chapter 4
I walk down the same street.
There is a deep hole in the sidewalk.
I walk around it. Chapter 5
I walk down a different street.  

“If the path before you is clear,
you’re probably on someone else’s.”

– Carl Jung –

Confused about your path? 
That’s certainly understandable!

Carl Jung’s words may be perplexing, BUT when considered make so much sense!   Jung, Swiss Psychologist born in 1875, remains hugely influential in the fields of psychiatry, anthropology, archaeology, literature, philosophy, psychology and religious studies. A wise man indeed!
 

Take Heart 💚

If you find yourself down in the dumps, feeling like your growth is taking forever, lean into what I have presented here.  Know this meandering journey you are on is our shared human experience, and that choosing to welcome the curriculum will save a lot of heart ache and open the doors to the magic of your existence.

It is clear that the lessons we experience call each of us to grow in self awareness.  The invitation to embrace our truth, learn and evolve is put to each of us time and time again.  Yes, it often hurts. Yes there is huge pain at times, but again take heart and remember than pain can absolutely be your greatest teacher. 

THIS IS YOUR YEAR TO TRANSFORM 👏👏👏 I AM HERE TO SUPPORT YOU!
The way I work with people is gentle, profoundly transformational with plenty of room for lightheartedness.
There is a genuine sense of community amongst students and there is a seat for you.

YOU’VE GOT THIS!
If you are feeling the pull, take the plunge!
