Energy Healing
In the natural process of human development, our personality/ego manifests as patterns of tension and holding that reflect the deep inner convictions with which we navigate our life. Though these patterns reflect our personal sense of identity, they do not reflect our true nature. Over time these imbalances begin to crystalize and limit our ability to live life in a natural and fluid way. Using intuitive vision and the art of laying-on-of-hands, Don taps into the holographic blueprint of the client’s health body and then channels the qualities of essence that allow the patterned or distorted layers of the field to come back into contact with their true nature.
A typical session, including consultation is between 60 and 75 minutes.The healing can continue from 48 hours to several days after the session. Don takes time to listen to each client and inquire into the underlying issues that are opening to be healed and then begins with a short prayer to open to the energy and create the intention of the healing. The healing itself ranges from 30 - 45 minutes.
Clients should wear loose, comfortable clothing that won’t restrict the flow of energy and try to allow some extra time before and after the session to arrive relaxed and to allow for integration before jumping back into the demands of daily life.
Spiritual Direction
Spiritual direction is the process of accompanying people on a spiritual journey. Put another way, it is about helping people to recognize their blind spots and through self-inquiry to come into contact with their true nature. For each of us the journey is unique and yet there are certain aspects of Being that are universally recognizable, such as Joy, Wisdom, Security, Love, Courage, Will, Value, etc. Spiritual direction helps us to recognize that these qualities are not determined by the conditions of our life but that they are naturally arising qualities of life itself. When we are able to drop below the surface of our life and into the deeper dimensions of ourself we discover that these qualities are actually our Self.
Working with the Enneagram
The enneagram is a map that clearly describes the inner process of nine distinct pathways that our souls journey through life on. It also shows us the predictable defenses and fixations that each of the types develop in an attempt to make up for the feeling of deficiency that results from the loss of contact with Being. These nine personality types or fixations are described as: The Perfectionist, The Helper, The Achiever, The Individualist, The Observer, The Skeptic, The Enthusiast, The Challenger and The Peacemaker.
When we are able to understand the strategies that each personality type develops as a way of compensating for the loss of true nature and what it is attempting to reconnect with, it makes the journey of transformation much more clear and accessible and allows us to see our own defense patterns and those of our loved ones with compassion and understanding.
Don is a graduate of the Riso-Hudson Enneagram Training Program and has used the enneagram in his own path of transformation. He is also a student of Sandra Maitri, spiritual teacher and author of “Spiritual Dimensions of the Enneagram” and “The Enneagram of Passions and Virtues”. For the second year, Don is offering a year long intensive training, Essence and the Enneagram, beginning in September, 2008.
