SEEKING CLIENTS WHO NEED CHANGE
Slow down, tune in, take care

“In a higher world it is otherwise; but here below to live is to change, and to be perfect is to have changed often.” - St. John Henry Newman
how change happens
-
mindfulness
We cannot change what we cannot see. And we are not likely to change what we don’t like seeing. Mindfulness is a practice of noticing the present moment - with all its thoughts, feelings, sensations, and objects, sounds, sights, smells, and people - without judgment. Without reactivity. Practice is key. Everything everything gets better with practice.
-
compassion
A harsh inner critic only increases suffering. Practice caring for the self at the level of thoughts, feelings, whole parts and entire histories. Self-compassion is a stronger, more flexible way of change. All of life grows when it’s cared for.
-
stories
How we narrate our life will decide the world we live in and the size and shape of our imagination for living. Practice paying close attention to how you tell your life story. New stories can arise from old paths, reinventing the whole meaning of your life. Words matter. Noticing the words and patterns of our inner storytelling, caring about how we tell our story, can change everything.

About the
grounded in birdsong Domain name
*
I suggest you step outside and listen with an open heart to the birdsong available to you at almost any moment of a day. This is what grounds me. The birdsong and the trees that host them all show up equally for everyone, no matter who they are or what they’ve done. This is proof of the innate goodness of this beautiful world. And if this world is good, so am I. So are you. This, just listening and noticing, is a mindfulness practice for body, mind and spirit.
