We'd like to take this time to thank all of the clients, students and friends who have supported the work of the Inner Alchemy Institute and the Inner Alchemy Academy in 2024.

We'll be expanding our services and sharpening our focus in 2025. You can look forward to more courses, more coaching and holistic counseling options as well as the return of the Inner Alchemy Holistic Coaching Certification program for those interested in becoming Certified Coaches and Master Certified Coaches.

On behalf of all of us at the Inner Alchemy Institute for Noetic Sciences and our parent organisation - the Contemplative Order of Compassion -- we wish you a safe, love-filled and peaceful Holiday Season.

One of the things that can cause a great deal of imbalance in our mental health is when our core beliefs and values are out of alignment with our actions and words.

You cannot, for example, complain that "nothing ever goes right for me", while sitting with a slumped posture and expect something amazing to happen.

This is often one of the reasons people find the results from medical and traditional psychological counseling less than satisfying.

Psychology is important. Understanding the chemistry of our brains is essential. But it's equally important to understand that our spiritual philosophy and physical health play an equally important role in our recovery and healing.

Trauma response is the way we cope with traumatic experiences. We cope with traumatic experiences in many ways, and each one of us selects the way that fits best with our needs.

Intuition has no emotional attachment. Meanwhile, a trauma response is designed to activate or trigger your central nervous system, and can spark emotions like anxiety. So, stress, worry, fear, anxiety, and the physiologic remnants of stress, distress, and trauma, are loud and come in hot.

A general rule of thumb is that if it is your intuition, it will provide a feeling of calm groundedness, whereas fear and hypervigilance feel emotionally charged, urgent, and focused on uncontrollable what if's.

The four most common types of trauma responses are fight, flight, freeze, or fawn.

One of the things I work with coaching clients to help them deal with and release traumatic stress is finding the places, thoughts, fears and external stimuli that anchor that feeling of hypervigilance to their perception or memory of something that happened in the past.

As a grief counselor, who has worked primarily with those who find neither comfort nor rational belief in such mythological concepts as "heaven" or in religious notions of afterlife, gods, or angels, I have often had to dig deeper, when helping comfort those individuals.

Like me, they don't seek the easy, convenient or superstitious comforts our society uses to hide behind, when our hearts break with sadness for those who are grieving.

It's not necessary to pretend the ideas we might consider to be spiritually and emotionally immature, superstitious or irrational are the only options for healing from our profound losses.

Sometimes, just sitting with our grief and having someone to listen to the stories of those we've lost is healing beyond all the make-believe of organised religion, folk superstition and mythology.
