What is a Session Like?
I listen to my Inner Teacher or Tutor. I listen by setting my 'self' aside. I have been consciously listening since 1989, when I became a practitioner and teacher of Reiki. It is through Reiki and my spiritual path that I developed a strong practice of turning within and being guided by what I know to be Higher Self or Holy Spirit.
I surrender the session to the Highest Good of All, and from this place, Higher Self or Holy Spirit cues me as to how to best assist you at that moment.
Finding What Suits the Need
I have access to many tools that Holy Spirit draws on and these tools are the practices accumulated from my own spiritual work and from my clinical training and energy medicine work. In terms of specifics, this may translate into teaching you how to watch the mind and how to meditate. It may be we practice forgiveness work, such as practiced in A Course in Miracles. Our work together may involve teaching release techniques, such as in the Sedona Method. Perhaps we will be drawn to Byron Katie's The Work, to assist in revealing belief systems. We may carry out practices which emerge from Dr. David R. Hawkins' teachings.
A SESSION MAY INCLUDE:
- 'Traditional' talk therapy
- Forgiveness exercises
- Meditation and watching the mind exercises
- Relaxation and stress management
- Releasing work (Sedona Method)
- Underlying thoughts and beliefs exercises (Byron Katie's 'The Work')
- Spiritual Information and Education (for example, A Course in Miracles, Dr. David R. Hawkins' teachings)
- or other formal or informal technique or teaching; uniquely fitted to your requirements
Our egos, our ego's thoughts to be specific, are the source of our difficulties. It is our attachment to certain thoughts and beliefs that hold us prisoner. This attachment is really just a shadow in front of the Truth, and we undo this shadow by letting go our attachments.
As a spiritual Tutor, I am guided by Holy Spirit to assist you in finding the shadow and shining it away. This guidance is through the teaching of practical tools. Tools you can learn and apply to help you let go of thoughts, and emotions. This is the act of shining the shadow away.
This website will continue to fill with practical assistance and information that the spiritual student can access, may it be for your Highest Good.
From a Client's Perspective
Ellen has been my spiritual counsellor, or tutor, for 4 years. My needs from her as a tutor varied greatly over the course of those years. At times I have even needed help figuring out what it is I need!
In that time Ellen has:
- assisted me in moving through loss and grief
- has helped me identify and work through ego attacks
- has recontextualized where I am on my spiritual path during intense times of feeling discouraged and defeated
- has helped me tremendously in the realm of both thoughts and feelings:
- helped me recognize, or name them
- helped me overcome fears of being with my thoughts and feelings
- and has helped me learn how to let them go
At times I have come up against tremendous resistance on my spiritual path, and Ellen seems to provide what is most needed when I am in the throes of resistance... sometimes this is the provision of spiritual 'first aid' and sometimes it has been her calling it what it is, and encouraging me to be more self-honest. I could go on and on. I have experienced her as a clear, pristine channel for Spirit. I have experienced Ellen as a person unequivocally willing to share any and all relevant spiritual information and practices. Without exception, I have always felt her compassion, support, hopefulness, and unwavering integrity and commitment to the Truth.
