Life is a Journey
Life is a Dream
Life is a Mystery
Life is…
There are countless metaphors for LIFE and I have found that one of the most empowering ways to live fully is to acknowledge that there are no guarantees as to how many days, months, or years we have in this existence.
As the Buddhist story about “The Mustard Seed” goes: each one of us has experienced loss of some kind and no one can escape that fact that we are all mortal and will someday have to depart from this world. Rather than that be seen only as a tragic and dreaded experience, I believe it is also possible to reframe our mortality so that we get the most out of our Journey.
How is this different from other forms of therapy or supportive counseling? Well, for some it is no different and for others this process may resonate with a part of their spirit that is ready to embrace our time limitation so that we can become more mindful in our life practices. This process of developing mindful living and conscious dying practices has been especially helpful if you are…
- dealing with a chronic, acute or terminal condition
- caregiving for a sick or dying friend or family member
- experiencing loss due to death or other life transitions (i.e. job, relationship)
- a contemplative existentialist looking for a safe place to explore the meaning of your life
- experiencing much regret or remorse and wanting to find peace of mind
