The Call Towards Change and Wholeness
The call to this cycle begins in the West. The place of Fall and the elemental energy of water. The wisdom of water relates to our emotions and the desire for flow, which may be the driving force behind the call to seek renewal within the darkness.
This symbol represents the call towards the cycle of reclaiming your wholeness. The primary energy of this image is the outward flow of your energy. Your orientation is out to the external world. This may show up as being energetically sensitive to the world around you, which results in behaviours such as caregiving, care taking, and people pleasing to name a few. This heightened sensitivity also means that you are acutely aware of what is happening in the environment around you. This can be confusing because much of what you are feeling is not actually yours. Another way you may be experiencing the energy of this symbol is by focusing outward on acquiring things which you believe will create fulfillment. These things can include possessions, experiences and relationships. When I get this__________. I will feel better about myself and my life. The thick circle around the heart is an indication of being guarded, and armoured and deflecting by turning outward. You might keep others at a a distance and avoid being in deep relationship with yourself. It is difficult to speak your truth, ask for what you want or stand up for your boundaries. In relationships, you may be viewed as needy, which is represented by the arrows reaching out for connection, love, and validation. You may often feel like you are the victim of others actions, which leaves you feeling unseen and unheard. You don’t really know yourself.

Saying YES! to The Call and Going Within
The answer to the call happens in the North. The place of Winter and the elemental energy of earth. Earth asks us to slow down and go within to reveal our hidden inner wisdom and knowing, so we can move towards our desire for freedom, ease and support.
This symbol represents a big step in taking responsibility for the direction and experiences you have had in your life up until now. You start with accepting a difficult truth. The person that will save you, is YOU! This journey is an inside job. The answers you are seeking exist within you. Your power, your strength and the unique gifts you bring to this world are hidden within you. Your story of separation from yourself, others and your world is waiting to be rewritten. The gap between your souls inner knowing and your everyday experiences is exactly where the gold is buried.
The good news, you don’t need to take this journey alone. I will support you as we co-create a safe and gentle environment, to reclaim your personal power and build a bridge between the confusion of everyday life and your true nature.
I will support you in getting to know you. Our first step, will be to build your connection to yourself during a “Foundation Session”. You can learn more about this session on the “Individual Sessions Page” As we continue to work together we will explore the unique topics that you bring to the session and bring it back to what you learned about yourself in the foundation session. In addition we will use tools such as embodied problem solving and shadow work to help propel you into a new awareness.

Receiving and Practicing Healthy Boundaries
Our efforts begin to be rewarded in the East. The place of Spring and the elemental energy of air. We begin to see growth and renewal, as we breathe in and practice the medicine of receiving.
This symbol represents the energy of receiving with ease, grace and healthy boundaries. While this may seem simple, you need only look back to Symbol #1 where the arrows represent pushing away the very things we want. Even receiving something as simple as a compliment can be very difficult and challenging. Let alone, the bigger gifts that are coming your way as you deeply align with your values, your purpose and inner guide. Receiving, is a learned experience which can be very foreign. As a wise source shared with me as a metaphor for always giving to others. “You can’t just breathe out” ~ Essence You breathe in all the time without even thinking about it. Yet, you may find it challenging to breathe in, all that is coming your way in all areas of your life.
You will bring everyday topics to your sessions. My job is always to keep you moving towards the highest possible expression of your purpose and to receive the energies of your incremental growth.

Giving and Stepping Into Action
In the South we step into action and begin to share all of what we have learned. This is the energy of Summer and the elemental energy of fire. Our action is inspired by our inner knowing and deep transformation.
This symbol represents you coming into alignment with the unique gifts that you have to share with the world. Just like the practice of receiving you may find that giving is also challenging because your gifts and unique ways of being in the world haven’t always been well received. The energy of fire and what you know about yourself, supports you to transform all of your challenges and struggles into authentic and aligned actions that bring you joy and fulfillment. Healthy boundaries are like the rocks placed around a fire pit. The rocks help the fire to be contained and yet the fire is open to the elements and freely gives heat, support and energy.
During our sessions, we will work together to co-create your inspired action steps that will have you step out into the world. We will likely start with baby steps and gentle actions that are supportive and doable. I will always hold your bigger vision and goals for you as you step towards them and shine your light.

Synergy and the Return to You! ~ Reclaim Your Wholeness
At the heart of this cycle of transformation is YOU! What has been reclaimed is YOU! Synergy represents the ease that comes when you allow your life to flow with all that you now know about yourself. What you have learned is now an embodied truth, that resonates out from within. This symbol is a spiral with your heart at the center and your heart out in the open, vulnerable and safe. The spiral represents your ability to authentically show up in the ways that are most supportive to you and your nervous system. You have gained a deep understanding of the natural cycles that will continue to occur on this journey. The spiral represents the integration and embodiment of all the other symbols. You have returned to you and reclaimed your birthright. Your core wounds have been integrated and transformed into; safety, decisiveness, fulfillment, inspiration, wholeness, confidence, abundance, and joy.
At this point, my hope is that I will get fired, as you will likely no longer require my support and guidance. Although, I would love it if you came back from time to time when needed for a tune up.

LOVE AFTER LOVE
Derek Walcott
The time will come
when, with elation,
you will greet yourself arriving
at your own door, in your own mirror,
and each will smile at the other’s welcome,
and say, sit here. Eat.
You will love again the stranger who was your self.
Give wine. Give bread. Give back your heart
to itself, to the stranger who has loved you
all your life, whom you ignored
for another, who knows you by heart.
Take down the love letters from the bookshelf,
the photographs, the desperate notes,
peel your own image from the mirror.
Sit. Feast on your life.
