For those wondering, we had to say goodbye to our sweet cat Chloe last month and we're still feeling her loss. But otherwise we're still here, doing sessions and contemplating a few changes in our lives. Nothing we know for sure just yet but supposedly the next month or so is the perfect timing for it! More on that in Sheryl's article below.

TIME FOR A CHANGE
A number of astrologers have been saying that the time period we are currently in, extending through the month, is ripe for and conducive to great transformation. Are you up for that?
When I first started doing spiritual counseling, before I teamed up with Paul and a little after, I tried to call what we do “Transformative Counseling.” Some of our earliest clients can attest that this is exactly what we meant. Our sessions were sometimes two hours long, lots of energy would move, and clients would wobble as they left the house. We worried. “Go to the beach!” we’d say. “Take a walk or sit down and ground!” They’d smile blissfully and thank us as they left, say very complimentary things, promise to take care of themselves . . . and we’d never hear from them again.
Later we developed the wisdom to intend that each session be only what a person could healthfully assimilate at one time. We do one hour sessions now, almost never blow people away, and have a lot more repeat sessions, working with a few people regularly for months or more than a year at a time. People claim they want to be wowed—they need their healing to be AWESOME—but it rarely does people any good if they don’t assimilate it properly. And most people mustn’t even attempt it. We get a lot of questions from people struggling with sudden overwhelming Kundalini energy surges. If those surges had come in the context of an awareness of energy healing (personal experiences through long time supported practice) they wouldn’t be concerned. It would make sense, they could let go into it, they wouldn’t grasp on to it as proof of their specialness, they wouldn’t be terrified or even afraid. But when it happens out of context, all at once, people become very afraid. People write to us saying they’ve had problems for years. And believing that these experiences are “special” or proof of one’s specialness makes it worse because then you’re stuck between wishing it wasn’t happening and being afraid to have it go away.
This is not to say that transforming a situation that isn’t working anymore isn’t a useful thing! So back to the original question. Are you up for transformation? Or does the thought terrify you? What if “transformation” wasn’t necessarily an overnight event? If you knew it could happen in manageable chunks, never more than you could assimilate at one time, what would you wish for now?
