The Life Skills Approach

Approaching your Center

In a health crisis you can rest your awareness in your thoughts and memories or you can travel beyond thinking and memories and disappear as you venture to your Center. This journey is a statement of Ultimate surrender; for as you proceed you disappear. You surrender your very existence just to enter the moment and cnnect to the Wisdom of your Body. This journey is essential for healing, because at your center are your powerful inner resources needed to heal. At your center you are in the moment and have a profound spiritual experience. Now ask yourself; is the Center worth my existence?

Love Connects you to the Wisdom of the Body

Simple love is the expression of the heart independent of the filters of our mind.  When our love travels beyond our thoughts, it connects to the Wisdom of our Body activating inner resources to meet our challenges.

I feel love is a valuable tool in connecting to our inner wisdom and is essential in a health crisis.

We can develop programs in our mind and habits that connects us to our inner wisdom directly. We may not have been taught this in the past, but when we face a health crisis the demands force us beyond our conditioned self and we find inner wisdom.

Legally Blind taught me…

Vision is something that is valued by everyone, but it is taken for granted as though that is reality. You don’t know how important vision is to you, until it is damaged.

Everything we value is represented in our minds as an image or a thought. When I couldn’t see the objects of my thoughts, I felt those symbols lost value and I was forced to an inner depth beyond thinking.

Beyond the anxious thoughts was a silence that comforted me and was home to the Wisdom of my Body. That inner wisdom is an amazing tool to deal with disabilities and a life that was frustrating.

The part of us that Heals

If you were to look at your body and how it performs thousands of functions without you having to think about it, you would begin to appreciate what I call the Wisdom of the Body.

On one level those functions keep us alive by breathing or digesting our food, but that wisdom can be a part of our everyday life if we became aware of more than our conditioned way of thinking. Healing requires more than our thinking mind offers, but we tend to be so conditioned, it is hard to go beyond focusing on our thoughts.

One of the beauties of a health crisis is how it frees us from our mental limitations and connects us to the Wisdom of the Body.
