Fair Warnings

This work will not match your ideals

If you believe that spiritual teachers or teachings should be in any way perfect (whatever that means), this work will disappoint you (as will everything). If you're OK with being disappointed, or with finding out how imperfection is perfect, welcome.

This Work Is Not Therapy

Whole Being Awakening is not therapy and teachers of this work (and of Waking Down in Mutuality) are not trained as therapists. If you have psycho-logical, emotional, or physical (medical) issues, please see a qualified, licensed doctor or therapist. While this work does address deep psychological and emotional issues, it does not come from a psychological perspective, but a whole-Being perspective. In general, Whole Being Awakening works well in conjunction with phychotherapy, body-oriented (somatic) therapies, and other growth work, assuming your therapist is truly sensitive to your needs and to the unique mystery of your being. You can ask your Waking Down teacher for referrals to therapists who have been found to have an outlook compatible with this work.

This work will bring challenges

Life itself brings endless challenges. But this work is specifically geared to helping you tranform your life from the core of your being outward through everything you believe, think, feel, and do, both alone and in relationship to others and the world. Bringing consciousness into all the ups and all the downs predicatably brings both more light and more darkness. To awaken fully, we must fully inhabit all ends of the spectrum of our being. If you're ready for the challenges as well as the remarkable benefits, you're ready for this work.
