Your introduction on Loneliness is like opening a window for a breath of fresh air. The video of Ram Giri of pain and suffering was most interesting. Great thought provoking material for an article.

Comment on What happens in a counselling session? by Clare Mann

Thanks Craig
I wholeheartedly agree with you that many people are busy telling others how to live their lives rather than empowering them to be the leaders of their own lives. I think counselling is an opportunity to help people become the conscious experts of their own lives – often experiences labelled as ‘ill’ or ‘dis-eased’ are opportunities to see what is not working in our lives. I often ask my clients ‘When did you choose to forget the solution to your problem?’ Our bodies and psychological conditions shout very loudly when we don’t live our truth!

Great post Clare!

Counselling sessions are a wonderful opportunity for two people to explore one person’s life – and your life.

It’s true that many of us invest too much time and energy, where it’s not wanted, valued or appreciated. Or productive. Putting it simply, some of us should let go of the need we have to fix other people’s lives, situations and relationships. Some people call this interference . It’s important that we have an ability (that is, a level of awareness and consciousness) to open our eyes and see what’s really going on beyond our point of view and beyond our version of reality. Seeing a situation (issue, challenge, problem) from our perspective only, is a recipe for disaster because we’ll never create connection. The irony is that many ’Fixers’ are so busy telling others what to do and how to be that they don’t see the toxic weeds growing in their own garden.

Comment on Michael Jackson – The grief of sudden death by Clare Mann

Lilly, it is very important to remember that we each, by how we live our lives, impact on others often without realising it. It seems that Michael Jackson had a big impact on your life – hold on to that and use this experience to see how you too can impact other people positively.

The media only report a small slice of information – mostly focused negatively – so remember that wonderful things do happen in the world and are not reported. Look for positive things, develop positive thoughts and find out what you want to do with your life and the impact you want to have. Take Michael’s example of positivity and spread this – this is the greatest gift you can to him as a celebration of his life.

Comment on Michael Jackson – The grief of sudden death by Lilly Australia

I found Mike was my first favorite music I loved as my own person. I stood up for him to friends and family, I am not sure why. Now at 27 his death reminded me how good people seem to always be taken from us and how unfair this world is. I have already lost people and had a less than perfect childhood myself but like Michael keep a smile and push throuh so this for me just feels deeply wrong. Michael meant so much and makes changes to this world few can do or even understand.
