Courage

This morning I woke up thinking about you Blog-Buddies, especially those who come for sessions and workshops. I woke up feeling so proud of you.

It takes a lot of courage to come for a session, for instance. Yesterday I sat in session with a couple of new clients. They chose to come in person for their first time, and so I saw face-to-face the shift as they went from trepidation into healing.

When new clients come, we don’t spend a lot of time on whether or not they feel terrified, allowing a more-or-less stranger into their aura and innermost secrets, moving around in the pain and fear to help fulfill something called “The client’s intention for the session.”

Actually, the tone of my sessions is pretty light, with plenty of silly jokes. Nonetheless, it takes courage for those new clients. They can’t tell, really, if I’ll be kind to them or what kind of Face Reading Secrets or other secrets I’m going to claim come from their innermost selves.

I’m proud of you newbies who dare to entrust me with your emotional and spiritual healing.

When I woke up this morning, I thought about how much yesterday’s New Client 1 and New Client 2 changed in just an hour each. It was as though their faces lit up within them. And, of course, we had technical triumphs to share, doing Before-and-After Pictures of some of their chakra databanks.

To meet these clients in passing, you might never guess how much learning and healing each one has done previously, how courageous each one is as a person. What a privilege for me to add to that sacred journey of healing!

Yesterday, I also spent close to five hours with more established clients, doing that cumulative-healing thing. Which means that one phoner client was ready to release an enormously painful cord of attachment. She positively leapt into appreciation of what this session meant to her now and would mean for her future.

My other long-term client did a first session of Energy Release Regression Therapy, following up many sessions where we had done Aura Healing and Transformation. “Gladys” was so thrilled every time she moved out a frozen block, she shrieked with laughter as though she had just come in off her front seat on the wooden coaster at Great Adventure, riding with hands raised high and a gigantic smile.

Deeper perception requires deeper courage

I know it does.

It’s like the two workshops I gave this past month. Just look at that photo at the top of this blog. (In fact, use this link to open up the full-sized picture so you can really see these remarkable folks at the Cut Cords Workshop. Or use this link to check out graduates from the Empath Empowerment Workshop) These aren’t merely sweet people, smart people. These are brave souls who wanted to do things like “overcome my blind spots, whatever it takes.”

Check out those auras! Or do a Skilled Empath Merge on any one of them. Wow!

The ironic thing is that students and clients who muster up all that courage wind up having a good time, during and after our time together. I do, too. And for that I am grateful as well.

Right now, I’m packing up things in preparation for month-long Tokyo Trip #10, starting the day after tomorrow. Things have been a bit busier than normal here, partly because of that and partly because of trying to sort out the satellite websites like www.empoweredempath.com.

There have been loads of technical challenges, given my level of technical skill at these things. Julian Hockings has been helping me set things up but the input job has gone to me. That has meant literally hundreds of links done wrong the first time around, and then my having to sort out a kind of Ribik’s Cube of Internetness.

Because I teach skill sets that are different from what’s in the mainstream culture, like Empath Empowerment(TM) techniques in contrast to boundary work and putting up shields, I often feel like Lucy Ricardo. With some “splainin’” to do.

I feel a certain responsibility to the downloads of information I’ve been given. It’s a responsibility to go boldly forth into the world and let people know about that these skill sets exists.

If you know me much as a person, you know that this is where Rose Rosetree steps outside her comfort zone. I’d much rather sit quietly in my office or the workshop room as the borderline introvert I am, helping people and never having to do any kind of sales job on any of it.

Doing the sessions and workshops and writing the books, all that is easy because, to my perception, it’s co-creation. But slugging things out in this post-modern world, saying enough to introduce people and finding a way to communicate? Daring to say, “These methods that pop culture tells us are THE WAY to cut cords of attachment… sorry, but they lack Quality Control”? That’s my courage zone.

This morning, I was thinking with some embarrassment at the LINKS sections at the end of my posts here at the blog, and I think I’m going to do away with them entirely, for a while at least. Maybe they have been too noisy. Maybe they have screamed “61-year-old person does crude Internet attempts, entirely laughable to a cool social-networking, twittering, Blackberry and cell-phone using person.” Me? I don’t even own a microwave.

But somehow I manage. Amazing! Somehow I may yet evolve my Net skills to the level of “hep cat.” Certainly I’ll keep growing my courage. Because I do have excellent teachers.
