Holding Sacred Space

Book excerpt: Spiritual Emergence is an ongoing process of deepening inquiry, opening to more aspects and gifts within ourselves, and releasing what has been completed. This may be soft and gentle like waves drawing us back into the sea, but more often then not, it is a purge through the fire. There may be pain, devastation, raw emotion, overwhelm, and surrender ever more into trusting the process and the support of our guides and helpers. So it is as much a deepening of our faith in the orchestration of the Universe, as it is a letting go of the old stories and energies that no longer serve us in these new octaves of awakening. Across time, we are shedding the old contracts, vows, and energies and trauma from past lives, and from our ancestral lines in this incarnation's own DNA and body. This initiation is an activation of soul purpose, gifts, and capacities to be of service in the unique ways that only you can. Being a midwife of this type of soul birth, facilitating the unfolding of the psyche, is an honor and requires deep levels of attunement and sensitivity. We can orient through lenses of Existential/Humanistic, Transpersonal, and Jungian psychology to offer frameworks on clinical practice. But if we do not continue to evolve as practitioners to feel into and integrate this wave that includes Spiritual Emergence, Neurodiversity, Cognitive Liberty, and the new ethics that these lineages demand from us all, we will not be able to adequately serve those who are on the very crest of the upsurge, where co-creating and manifesting something entirely new is possible. Join me in this exploration of my lived experience and clinical practice, of the story and its deeper message, of calibrating our instruments to another octave of resonance and integrity, in Holding Sacred Space.
