Current intuitive practice summary: The phases of unravelling

The method of emergence bridges Eastern and Western perspectives on self. It is based off of intuitive understanding, steeped in learnt psychological theory, drawing from both modern psychotherapy and contemplative traditions. I work with individuals to explore the inner world through a lens that includes body, mind, personal history and a sense of self identity. In the western tradition it parallels a school of manifested thought named ‘Psychosynthesis’ started by Roberto Assagioli, who emphasised the importance of ‘self’, and suggests that in the majority we are only using a fraction of our potential. Hence the importance of getting to the essence and enlivening what often lays dormant. It is not interested in perfection, or the rigidity of learning or outcome, but thrives within the amalgamation of emergence; the process of unravelling layers of the self via means of discoverable beauty. 

This integrative approach respects the depth of Western psychological frameworks—such as inner child work, trauma-informed care, and developmental theory—while also drawing from Eastern practices that focus on presence, regulation of life force (Qi), mindfulness, and self-inquiry, found outside the outskirts of provable scientific data. We arrive at the light of awareness, not by removing the dark, but by integrating all that is there. Fear only exists because we cannot see, seeing clearly eliminates the need for fear.

Unravelling the self, is easier than we might think, though it takes a willingness and a bravery too look further than the surface. In the practices of yoga, for instance, in order to go beyond the mind, one must first go through the body, for it is the vase that encases the flowers. The self, is not a static point, it is equivalent to what they call in Buddhism the “no-self”, there is no fixed state rather a continuous unfolding, a continuous flowering, an opening to the process of learning and becoming child-like again.

‘Self realisation, is our greatest capacity for imagination’

Three part sequence

Phase I - The body, the vessel of QI

Phase II - Mind: The inner chorus (Mask, image and mirror) mapping and integrating the many selves

Phase III - Self, essence, oscillation of spirit between formlessness and form.
