Saving Grace Couples Counseling
I invite you, and sincerely encourage you to consider investing in Conscious Couples Counseling.
What does it mean to be a conscious couple?
It means having a dedicated practice both individually and as a couple for staying attuned to your core values, your emotions, wants and needs, your communications, the health and well being of your relationship and a plan for how you will care for yourselves, each other and your marriage as you go through the many stages and ages of a life long love story.
Finding your Beloved is one of the greatest gifts in life. It is a treasure that does not survive and thrive without being attended to and nurtured like a well loved garden. There are so many things that come to grab your attention and your energy. How do you keep your focus and passion in your marriage over the long haul?
I had the most amazing conversation today with the Master Gardener that tends to the garden on the property where I live. He is a lawyer, a former rancher and a self taught gardener who grew up in very traditional, east coast family in the 1950’s.
I happen to mention to him during our visit in the garden, that I am passionate about couples’ counseling. Much to my surprise, he said that ten years into his marriage, his wife insisted that they go to “couples therapy” He shared how hard it was and how incredibly helpful. He acknowledged that as a man he was resistant and yet it was one of the best things he had ever done in his life.
I was quite blown away and deeply touched. I had the thought: “if this guy, with his upbringing and traditional attitudes about life and marriage can be so affirming of the value of couples counseling, then so can those of us who have had the benefit of a few decades or even generations of more awakened life and what it means to be in a long term relationship and marriage.”
So is it still relevant? Absolutely. Perhaps even more so now. Life is moving at such an intense pace! There is as much change happening now as there was when my gardener friend was a young lawyer and husband just coming out the depression and forging a life with his partner.
It is my wish that every single couple, those of you who feel really solid in your relationship, and those of you who already sense there may be more to this marriage business than you imagined, has the skills, the practices and the structure in your lives, that support your love growing, deepening, adapting and evolving over the span of several decades.
I had the amazing blessing of an intensive, deep dive into conscious relationships in my mid twenties when I became a resident and manager at a large, holistic health and yoga center. We lived together, worked together, played together, served the world together and it was all based on the practices of conscious relationship. I learned the practices of how to attend to my inner world and build a healthy relationship with myself. Also, the communication and connection skills for relating to a whole community of family members, colleagues, and clients. I felt like I had been given the keys to the kingdom/queendom of heaven on earth!!! I knew I had found my passion and I have never wavered. More conscious love on the planet is my mission. Will you join me?
The utter truth about life here on our beautiful, blue green planet is that we are all here with one single mission… to remember who we are and to share love with each other. To align with this mission as a married couple, is, in my humble opinion, one of the most extraordinary life paths possible. In every wedding ceremony I am honored to officiate for, I always end with a deep bow and expression of gratitude to our couple for daring to commit to a life of loving. It may seem it is all about them and the happiness of their family and friends, yet I feel every single time I am there, pronouncing them, that they are contributing the inspiration, the hope and the possibility for our world and our future.
Please consider an Introductory, five session series of Saving Grace Couples Counseling. This is a potent, small step to take to see if this has value for you and your partner. The sessions are very experiential, this is not talk therapy. I feel confident that you will experience some aha’s, some lovely shifts in how you relate to yourself and how you view your partner and your marriage and the beginnings of how you can take picture #1 above and move it into picture # 2.
