Growth Work NOT Homework
So that my clients can benefit from the work we do in our sessions, they have a little bit of growth work to take away each week – it’s simple AND it’s NOT homework
The growth work material helps my clients go through what has been covered each week.
I always want them to see it as a gift to themselves.
All the sessions are designed to help the healing process.
Even if a client has worked with this material before, there is always a deeper level of healing that can occur.
We will go into ourselves deeply to break through the layers of the old stories and find the beauty inside.
Meditations/Visualisations
I will also send my client a recording of one of the meditations I took them through during that session. This helps her to really consolidate everything we have looked at. It also helps her to introduce the meditation practice into her life if she hasn’t already.
With meditation, the goal is to focus attention on some specific thought and allow the mind to transcend its usual jumping all over the place. Plato likened the mind to a ship where the sailors have mutinied. The discipline of meditation quells it so that the captain and the navigator can steer consistently and coherently. Others have referred to our minds as a “monkey mind” jumping all over the place. Meditation helps stop the monkey from jumping!
Meditation allows us to shift attention from all the demands of our busy, outer world to a quiet inner world. It’s really an activity of the heart. When you consistently spend time in meditation, you find a core of strength and wisdom, and you develop more of a flow with life.
Here’s a super short video which gives a little more insight to the growth work.
The most important thing I want my clients to remember is to be very gentle with themselves as they process the work we have done.
And wherever they are right now in their journey is perfect. Whatever she is doing is moving her forward. And that the growth work is not homework!
And what I always say about the Growth Work
“Put your attention on what you are doing, not what you aren’t!”
Go at your own (relaxed) pace.
There’s no need to feel that you’re falling behind or that you need to catch up. Trust the process.
Relax and celebrate.
Attending these sessions is a powerful step forward.
Please celebrate every step that you take!”
As always, I’d love to hear what you think and if you’d like to find out more about me, just follow this link.
