Happy Monday everyone,
The last week has been an eventful one in my family, work and relations. Long-term conflicts have resolved; old figures have emerged from the past offering justice and forgiveness; and my first Zen Catalyst group — based on a process I have been developing over the last two years — wrapped our 8-week session with lots of love and learning.
As one of my Zen students put it yesterday, it has been a time of “karmic acceleration.”
I’ll be posting again later this week, but I was moved today to offer a limited number of intensives at a special discount, in the interim I have between Catalyst groups.
The offer is a one-month program with me, including four weekly sessions and interim Voxer contact. I’ll guide you through my Four Vows process to uncover the spiritual, personal, relational and work commitments that are directing your life energies. After the program, you will gain clarity and conviction in place of any confusions and resistances (fear, stuckness) that are cobwebbing (or worse) your life force. You will feel empowered and inspired about the next stage of your life.
We are all directed by inner commitments in these four areas. In fact, your thoughts and feelings follow these commitments, whether you know it or not. Most of us are only partly conscious of them. To the degree we are unconscious of our commitments, we struggle.
My one-on-one work is a form of Zen inquiry based on thousands of sessions I’ve held with teachers, mentors, students and clients. I can help you transform your own karma — the unique circumstances of your life, your body, your mind, your emotions, your inheritances, your intergenerational gifts, wounds and debts — to intentional and creative purpose.
It’s a karmic accelerator. :)
The fee for the intensive is $880, a 25% discount off my normal rate. If this sounds interesting to you, sign up for a Free Discovery session on my website. In the “Name of person who referred you?” box, put “Karmic Accelerator.” We’ll book a twenty-minute call to make sure the program is a good fit.
In my work and teachings, I only talk about my experience. That is the Zen way. Now it might sound woo-woo, but I can attest from personal experience that when you make a move in the direction of this work — sign up for a session with me, commit to a program — the universe shifts to support you.
Earlier in my life when I heard people talk like that I did not believe them. I thought it was a marketing trick. (And maybe for some it was). But I know now there is a spiritual truth at play here, one that Goethe spoke of in the quote I shared in last week’s newsletter.
“The moment one definitely commits oneself, then providence moves too. All sorts of things occur to help one that would never otherwise have occurred. A whole stream of events issues from the decision, raising to one’s favor all manner of unforeseen incidents and meetings and material assistance which no one could have dreamed would come your way.”
I have seen this happen countless times over the last few years with people who have come to me. It is not me doing it, it is you inviting the universe to support you.
That’s the important thing.
Ok for now. I’ll be back later this week, with more Zen@Work observations and practices for your work and life.
take care,
Paul
