Dear Transpersonal Counselors,
I’m writing this to you because I know sometimes it can seem like we don’t fit into the world of counseling and psychotherapy. At agencies and with insurance billing, the medical model and CBT are lauded as the approaches that have value. If you feel like you don’t fit in, that means you are part of the shift of something really important that’s happening in the field right now. Let yourself be misunderstood. Let yourself experience the discomfort of the limitations of the agency, and bring your magic.
This video is an offering from my heart to thank you for doing this deeply profound and sacred work of being a transpersonal counselor. I can get overwhelmed with emotion when I consider the beauty of your offering that your clients are given this opportunity to be seen for the wholeness of who they are, and the actuality of their experience, and have their innate wisdom honored in such a deeply profound, beautiful way. The world is forever changed because you sit with clients, and I’m so so grateful that you’re showing up at this time in the world–at this time in the world. The world needs you. So thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
I know that sometimes, as sensitive beings, we can feel overwhelmed with all of the suffering in this world, and my invitation to you is, allow your work in the world to be your prayer for humanity as you show up. Allow your work in the world to be your prayer for humanity where there is more healing, more nonviolence, more wholeness and authenticity and love. because you’re holding space in the way that you hold space.
The other thing that I want to say is just remind you that you don’t need to do this perfectly, that you don’t need to be perfectly healed, or be a perfect therapist in order to change the world for the better, that you will be changed by this work, just as your clients are changed by this work, the more they return to their innate spirituality and the wholeness of who they are, the more you also return to your innate spirituality and the wholeness of who you are, and embody that more deeply like really sitting in your seat of wholeness amplifies by doing this work, and it may seem like a silent offering, because you’re sitting one on one with a client. However, the whole field is affected by this work. Just as we are affected by the field, we impact the field, too. And so by strengthening by really strengthening the energy of healing, like true true integration and healing that the world has changed.
I also just want to say that the way you meet yourself is really the way you meet your clients. So if you allow yourself to feel and you tend to your insecurity, or your fear, or your worry, or your anger and your rage, whatever is there within you. If you tend to your emotions and your inner landscape with love and tenderness and nonviolence, where you’re able to welcome all aspects of yourself, then you will be able to hold that type of space for your clients, where all of them is welcome to with the light of love and awareness being being shown on them and that is to say, that when you continue to come home to the truth of who you are, you’re able to contact your clients from your wholeness and the truth of who they are.
Sometimes I imagine how the world would be if I didn’t do this work. And I just I can see how important and essential each one of us are, how we play a really important role in planetary restoration and planetary change. It takes all of us showing up and really heeding the call to lean into the discomfort and the pain of transmuting suffering into healing. So thank you. Thank you. Thank you deeply, deeply. Thank you for being here.
I just. I value you so much, and I’m so grateful that your clients have you to support them in remembering who they truly are. Thank you.
Much love,
Harmony
