doing your work is the result of 23 years of working with clients to bring acceptance, love and true healing to the emotional wounding that we acquire in our lives, and to find our real voice as a person. The result of doing our work at this depth is that we can begin to live and love again with confidence, and experience the integration of body, emotions, heart and mind that awakens the whole person.

My training in Integrative Breathwork is the foundation of this approach. The Wisdom of the Four Emotional Ages in all of us is the innate structure of this work, while honoring our grief and rebuilding our boundaries is the core of the work itself.

A Happy Book Update

As part of my commitment to bring healing tools to many people, I have begun the idea of The Tahoe Center for Non-Violent Change. It is a big project that has taken time to bring into being. I am intending to begin classes and publication in 2010.

The highest goal of Doing Your Work is to master all of the skills it takes to love ourselves, create loving, nurturing relationships, and liberate our real spiritual purpose in life.

The core premise of Doing Your Work is that each of us has an Emotional Body that is as real as our physical body. The Emotional Body, when wounded through acts of heartlessness, abuse, violence or denial, experiences the same kind of impact and damage as the physical body. The parallels are exact—tissue damage, circulation damage, structural damage, etc. The only difference is that the damage sustained by the Emotional Body can be completely frozen in time through denial, suppression, fragmentation and splitting.

Whether the emotional wounding is partially or completely displaced within us, the Emotional Body wants to heal. The Doing Your Work Program defines what the Emotional Body is and guides you into the full healing of your Emotional Body.

There are four distinct modalities in Doing Your Work that literally rebuild the emotional body back to having a real choice to receive the soul: 1) creating emotional sobriety, 2) breath and energy practices to reawaken and reanimate the emotional body, 3) discovering and rebuilding our boundaries, and 4) Reparenting and restoring the full function of the four emotional ages within us: the little kid, teenager, young adult and mature adult.

The essential goal of doing healing work like this is to bring all of our emotional experience into our hearts for complete acceptance and self-nurturing. As the heart and emotions unite, the mind can receive this new love as truth, and shed the wounded thinking that comes from dysfunctional relationships.

I wrote these spiritual newsletters when things were really getting intense in the fall of 2004 and early 2005. I had plans to write monthly newsletters, but they were becoming mini-books that consumed too much time and energy.
