Lovely With a Capital L

A 30 year-old, successful engineer and single woman came in for guidance and counseling. She said she was suffering from almost compulsive, obsessive thinking about a relationship she knew was wrong for her, yet she seemed unable to let it go. Her therapist of eight months has told her she has to let go of this man and another one from her past if she is to find peace. But, after many months of struggling with her anxiety, she seemed to be getting worse instead of better. Her friends referred her to my office for help.

L. is a beautiful woman. She is tall, lean, fit with long lovely blond hair and a perfect complexion. Her energy was very scrambled and expanded and I noticed she had a hard time breathing because of the stress she was feeling.
I let her talk for about ten minutes then suggested we begin the healing with some deep breathing and a little relaxation exercise. During the guided session I took a look at what energy was around her. I saw her father and her mother as the source of the issue, as usual. That didn't take a psychic to figure out. I suspect any first year psychology student could have asked a few more questions and come to that conclusion. I also saw that she actually had three men who were pursuing her.

When she opened her eyes, her breathing was slow and relaxed. Her eyes were focused and she was very present. I shared with her what I had seen. I explained to her how her past experiences, memories, decisions and fixed ideas and beliefs were filters that were distorting her perception of her present circumstances. The three men I saw were not what she believes them to be and that her relationship with her father was the reason she couldn't see them as they are. I also had seen her, as a little girl, deciding her future, and so much of what she decided back then was causing her anxiety today. She had established a life timetable and it was time, in her unconscious mind, to choose one of these men and get married. It didn't matter that they were not appropriate men for her. She was trying to choose against her instincts and that is what was creating her anxiety and fear. Fear to choose and fear not to choose. Man-o-man, that'll sure put your head in a confused and chaotic scramble. She was like a hamster in an exercise wheel, running as fast as she could and getting nowhere.

I decided to do bodywork with L, massage and Reiki, and I used guided imagery to assist her in the introduction to her Higher Self. We worked through the energy of her chakras and used Avatar techniques to discreate preconceived impressions that were getting in the way of her perfect vision.

We finished the session with The Book of Runes and, as always, she was guided to the one that spoke to the heart of her issue. She was amazed.

I asked her how she was feeling and she answered with two words. "Peaceful and clear."

The entire session took 90 minutes. She booked another session in two weeks and left here with the insight and tools she needed to move out of anxiety and into a peaceful presence.

I'm looking forward to our next session to see how her relationships have shifted. I'll keep you posted on her progress.
