'Let yourself be in the emotion, go through it, give into it, experience it. You begin to go toward the emotion, rather than just experiencing the emotion coming toward you. A relationship, a dance begins to develop. Then the most powerful energies become absolutely workable rather than taking you over, because there is nothing to take you over if you are not putting up any resistance . . . . . the music and the dance take place at the same time. This is the lion's roar.'     – Chögyam Trungpa      Rinpoche

WHO THIS WORK IS FOR Awareness and compassion are universally applicable principles, and I am fundamentally willing to work with whatever people bring through the door of my office. This said, certain themes seem to come up repeatedly among my clients. You may feel drawn to this work if you:    have worked through years of therapy, coming to intimate        terms with past traumas and losses, and feel ready for the        next step    long to express your unique creative being, yet feel        paralysed by fear, numbness or confusion   seem to have it all in your life, and yet keep thinking,        'There must be something more'    are a spiritual practitioner struggling with real-life issues    feel cut off from the deeper aspects of your being    wrestle with dark and difficult emotions: grief, despair,        anger, fear, self-loathing    yearn for an initiation into the depths of your own nature -- a        rite of passage that often coincides with midlife   find yourself dealing with painful life transitions, and are        willing to ask the hard questions:        'What really matters?'        'What do I need to learn?'        'How can I grow through this?' © 2005 Kerry Moran
