Dear Friends,
Sometimes things change and you just need to be quiet and digest, integrate and reconfigure. This has been one of those times for me. My life, my work, my sense of self suddenly evolved into a more mature imagination, rough edges smoothed, blurry images came into focus, words were found, incompletes completed.
So I apologize for the long time between the last post and this one.
Over the next few posts I'll be sharing more about this process I've been going through and the archetypal wisdom that held my hand through it all. But this one is about the new Inner Mother Inner Father program, where it fits in the overview of Imagine Self and what it will offer you. Do read on...
INNER MOTHER INNER FATHER
Just typing this headline, I felt the familiar and tender longing inside of me for parenting. I'm 64. I earn my living being a counselor/listener/teacher to those who want to find their truth, know their beauty, and become their goodness as they go through their traumas, doubts, confusions and deep questions and I do this with great maturity and confidence. And, yet, I can be in all kinds of moods, circumstances, and encounters and suddenly I am wanting an inner mother to hold me, an inner father to protect me and much more.
The educator/researcher/artist in me, looks at my own feelings and asks what is the response to this longing. How can this need be met? Is there a way to penetrate this universal feeling and discover some guiding and organizing principles to apply in developing the longed for parenting within my own soul and can I support others in shaping their inner parents?
Inner Mother Inner Father is this guide -- an education in self-parenting -- an education in being adult.
Mother. . . Father. . .
These words are verbs!
These words are verbs!
And "adulthood" is the time to conceive, give birth to and raise up yourself!
Once you are "grown up," self-mothering and self-fathering become far more important than the mothering or fathering you received as a child. As long as you are looking for what you wanted your parents to give you when you were a child, you will never discern what you want and need now.
Inner Mother Inner Father is a course in adult self-mothering and self-fathering. It provides a path to self-love, self-care, self-encouragement, self-direction for all aspects of your life.
Inner Mother Inner Father brings to creative consciousness the key gestures of mothering and fathering.
You learn how to imagine, express, and evolve your self-parenting for the rest of your life.
Doing this work is not a betrayal of your mother or father.
Not doing it is a betrayal of the you you need to become!
Inner Mother Inner Father establishes an inner safety and stability, an inner regulation of your moods, an inner integration of your experiences, and an inner courage to communicate all that you need to say.

Would Sacred Listening Make a Difference?
Is This What You Need Now?
Are you living with questions about who you are and
what you should be doing? Do you seek to find what meaning lives in
your sorrows, struggles and suffering? Do you wonder how to develop a
new relationship to your life so far that opens up desirable
possibilities for your life to come?
Do you want to approach your life from an understanding of resolving your karma and fulfilling your destiny?
You may want to
give yourself the gift of personal coaching or counseling. A good
counselor will provide the elements of warmth, containment,
encouragement and creative review and reflection. Each of us needs a
rhythm of sacred conversations centered on our own path of
self-development. If you would like to have one or more sacred conversations with me, please call me 919-636-0430 or Email me.
