If there was one thing I enjoy doing as a practitioner, it is sharing with clients that that inner state of calm, relaxed peace that they so desperately crave, is possible. And when I mean sharing, I mean helping them to have a whole body experience of said peace, so it's not just a intellectual concept, it's a lived reality.
As someone that has known anxiety, pain, fatigue, relationship issues, poverty, heartbreak, chronic health issues, family drama and feeling lost and abandoned - I know now that it was because I didn't believe peace was possible, so I didn't go looking for it.
I grew up in a world where striving was admirable, sacrifice was the way to become wholly and the underpinning motto was "no pain, no gain".
It was literally the worst wellbeing education ever! I became burnout, disillusioned, not wanting to be alive and very physically and mentally compromised.
But the great thing about the journey I took is that because I did, you don't have to.
Slowly, and incredibly painfully, I learnt a lot of what I'd been taught was the exact opposite of what I needed to do in order to fulfil my childhood dream of being "happy".
Challenging the status quo
In order to even question the status quo of your current life experience, you have to believe it is possible to have something different to what you are currently experiencing. For me that was that a sense of wholeness, inner fulfilment and joy was possible, irrespective of what was going on in the world around me (the most common reason why people cite they can't be happy).
When clients come to me, I love being able to show them how peaceful they are capable of being.
Often people are extremely surprised to discover they can feel calm, have a quiet mind and be relaxed. I always check in with a new client the day after and the benefits extend well beyond the session itself, frequently contributing to a significantly improved night's sleep and more energy and clarity the next day.
Like riding a bike, once a person understands that peace is possible, they know what they are capable of, making it harder for them to settle for less. You can't unexperience peace - though you can forget it exists, put your attention on other things and unwittingly continue with unhelpful strategies.
There's a lot of complexity to why people behave the way they do, and a lot of surprising simplicity to peace.
Most of the journey is unlearning what you thought you knew.
Unlearning what is familiar is just too scary for some, and some people never get out of old patterns, and that's ok. But for those with the courage to challenge their their assumptions, there's a whole nirvana out there just waiting to be discovered.
Perhaps you'll let me introduce you?
