"Find in your body the irrational thing that just says, "Live. I'm alive. Live." This is what will keep up walking through the darkest of times."
-Thea Elijah
I’ve gotten where I am today by following a call to find something deeper. The next piece of growth for me always seems to have a feeling that combines scary and exciting. I’ve come to recognize that feeling, which although it may be uncomfortable, tells me that there is good and important growth around the corner.
Following that call is what got me to study meditation and mysticism. That’s what got me into acupuncture school. That’s what continues to fuel my learning and growth as a practitioner. This year has been particularly rich and full of study and expansion of my understanding and skills. I have found an acupuncture teacher who really inspires me, Thea Elijah. I’ve been to several of her classes and have been reading her work.
Now, I’m thrilled to say that she is coming to my practice to mentor and support me in treating two clients on Thursday, April 9th. Thea is a Five Element Acupuncturist and also a Sufi teacher and practitioner. She is traveling with another Sufi healer, Nur Preston, a bodyworker and a highly skilled intuitive spiritual healer of the Shadhiliyyah Sufi tradition. They are offering these healing and mentoring sessions together with me. Click here to learn more.
This could be an amazing opportunity for you to move towards your next step. These healings will be powerful. There are only two spots for clients to be seen at this time. If you are interested please respond to this email and I will be in touch. Two names will be drawn from those who reply.
What is the next step for you that feels scary/exciting/important for your growth? Take a moment to ask yourself that question. It might be to put your name into the hat to be chosen to receive one of the sessions from Thea, Nur and me. Or maybe you want to start with a smaller bite, but are ready to challenge yourself to come out and experience some engagement in person - for you a Tai Chi class or Yogapuncture or Sound Bath might be calling. It might be something completely different! If you listen inside, you will find where you feel called. Or if nothing is showing up yet, you can commit to keep listening for that next thing - book, class, person, experience - that resonates with an inner part of you and calls you forward.
I celebrate that mysterious and irrational part of you, and me, that says, “Live!” Let’s see how much we can let it guide us this season!
With a shining heart,
Doren
