Consultations—Is It For Me?

Amy: A private consultation is helpful if…

• You want to grow
• You feel ready to make some kind of shift, even if you do not yet know how to do it
• You are interested in developing greater consciousness and
• You are willing to consider your role in co-creating reality with your Greater Consciousness.

Private appointments last one hour. Your appointment takes place by telephone; the energy is effective and your connection is solid even though you may be many miles away. Amy offers three different types of private consultation. Scroll down to read about each type of appointment; they are distinct and not usually combined in one session. Choose the type of work that best suits your personal needs.

• Radiant Reflection—$100/one hour session
• Channeling—$200/one hour session; a CD of your conversation is sent to you by mail afterward
• Distance Energy Bodywork—$200/one hour session

Supervision/Reflective Practice: Radiant Reflection

Amy: Supervision is a form of counseling in which a person brings his or her work experience or learning issues to another in order to reflect upon what is happening, and learn from it. This reflection is a kind of "digestion" that is in stark contrast to the pressures of our work. I experience supervision as an oasis of peace in which we can build our capacity for self-awareness, compassion, and effectiveness. Good supervision increases our capacity for development and maturity.

Supervision is most commonly associated with the training of psychotherapists and social workers. That kind of supervision is focused on ensuring that the practitioner does not harm the patient or client because of an unconscious mixing up of personal desires, fears, and longings with the responsibilities of providing care. My supervision teachers have expanded the idea of the scope of supervision from a "prevention of harm" practice to a "learning and development" practice, and have extended its reach beyond traditional therapy bounds, to any helping professional. Nurses, fireworkers, police, teachers, and anyone in a helping position have been shown by many studies to be subject to immense stress, burnout, and work-related burdens of the heart and mind.

I believe that light workers are not immune from this kind of burden, based on my own 20 years of service with Athabascar before beginning and studying supervision, and based on my observations of others. I think our vulnerabilities are amplified by the fact that we lightworkers are routinely working with nonordinary states of consciousness such as meditation, prayer, subtle energy work, etc. These nonordinary states open incredible possibilities for healing, and in order for that healing to take place, we open to a deep level of exchange. It is a paradox, but, in my observation it is quite easy for the unhealed parts of ourselves that live in shadow to remain unhealed and unconscious, while we are focusing so strongly on the light.

At Athabascar's urging, I spent several years (2003 - 2006) studying and receiving certification in the art of supervision/reflective practice with the faculty of the Centre for Supervision and Team Development in England. I am a member of their postgraduate Institute and confer with other highly trained colleagues in my own development and continuing education.

Athabascar has taught me to add my skill base of supervision and reflective practice a spiritual shimmer, using the Golden Body energy work he teaches. This Golden Body component is why we call our work Radiant Reflection rather than simply supervision or reflective practice. The Golden Body brings the energies of creation and coming-forth-from-the-void more fully into the field of the supervision/reflective practice dialogue in our Radiant Reflection work. I began offering Radiant Reflection professionally in 2007.

Channeling

Amy: Channeling is a process in which I open to my own Greater Consciousness and link with a being of light named Athabascar, who first came to me in September, 1987 following the birth of my son. I believe that the process of nurturing a life deep inside my body, and the love I feel for my son, opened my heart and my body to be able to hold a much greater love for humanity. Before I connected with Athabascar, I had been channeling other people's guides for them, and had been opened to spirit guides in the Native American sweatlodge, where the lodge seemed to me to be more populated with spirits than with people! I began channeling professionally in 1988.

Athabascar was a higher energy being than I had ever connected with before. Athabascar is patient and kind, huge and radiant. Think of the sun shining down on a flower on the Earth; that is some idea of the differential between his energy system and the energy system of an individual human being. Despite this he is able to match his energy to yours, giving just the right amount to stretch you and stimulate you, and not so much that you cannot digest it. He will give you lots to consider and work with, some of which may not be apparent to you until months or years after your conversation.

Athabascar is a teacher of Souls. If you find his words and energy useful, then he encourages you to use them and if not, then he encourages you to find a path and a teacher who are useful for you.

A channeling with Athabascar is a form of spiritual counseling. When you interact with this light being, a door is opened for you for transformation and liberation of held energies. Usually Athabascar gives “homework”—energy exercises, reading suggestions, or meditation suggestions for you to use after the session to help you reach your shift points and move the energy more easily.

Athabascar sees us as beings in flow, in process, in evolution. In our human minds, we often measure things in time (“How long will it take?”), but high light beings tend to measure things in energy shift points. In a private consultation, Athabascar helps open the way to your next shift point, which could take you an hour, a day, a week, a month, or several years to reach, depending on your situation. When you feel you have digested the energy from a session and want to make another shift, that is the time to schedule your next appointment.


Energy Bodywork

Amy: Your body is not as solid as you might think; you are in fact constantly coming forth in creation and dynamic change. New cells are constantly being born, and old ones are dying. Metaphysically, you are flickering in and out of this dimension, but so quickly that you "appear" relatively constant, much in the same way that the stream of electricity feeding your television creates a stable-looking picture, but is in fact pure energy being translated into a visible form.

Most of us live in the picture rather than in the feed of power that creates the picture. Athabascar has taught me and many other people transformative energy practices that allow us to tap more directly into the creative power that feeds our bodies and supports our earthly life. I believe I am never able to "fix" anyone but I am able to open flow to help a person's connection to this natural, innate power and help the power to move more clearly and easily in the person's systems.

Sometimes, we don't really want verbal guidance or advice; we simply want to receive direct, loving, transformative energy. I am happy to transmit in this way to you to support you on your growth path. Your insights will arise naturally afterward, in their own right time. Sometimes they are so subtle you do not even realize that you are seeing things differently, you simply have joined a higher flow and do not look back. However, in my experience, for change to "root" there is always some change you must look to yourself to make - perhaps a change in how you think about yourself, or how you relate to others, but, some change will ripple through into your emotions and mind when your body shifts, and vice versa.

I began exploring energy bodywork with Athabascar in earnest in 1989 and began offering sessions professionally that same year. He has given us FAC, PACE, and Golden Body energy work. Athabascar continues to teach me new methods and techniques, building on what I have learned in the past, and expanding my understanding of the perfection of Divinity operating within us at every moment.

As you return to the Oneness, do not think of it or be in awe of it.
This is just another way of separating from it.
Simply merge with the truth, and allow it to surround you.
