One important point for stage 8 is to have a specific theme. For example, when there are multiple issues in a theme such as “headaches, Financial Insecurity, Epilepsy (in that order).” it is difficult for us to have trigger phrases.
Hence we should focus on zeroing down to one specific issue, for example, in this case, it could be financial insecurity.
Think of the subconscious mind to be a cab driver, if we bombard him with too many instructions, he will get confused, but if we give a specific destination he would just drive us there without any doubts. Remember the subconscious mind is literal and depends on the conscious mind for the implied meaning. So, in this case, I would also look at piles if it is a symptom of financial insecurity.
My humble experience has shown the theme generally distils down to fear of ___, sadness or anger at ____.
Very true Venu. I have also experienced this during my session. If we are not clear about the theme, the client goes to experience things that are irrelevant. Very important to spend time on zeroing on the theme.
@venu yes Sir, in my HO- theme is like compass, it’s tells the subconscious where to go and what to reveal, instead of wandering off, it ensures the smooth flow and serves the purpose. Session might still progress without a precise theme but it won’t produce a clear outcome. Been there dealt with it and regretted
Very rightly said .With proper case history and filtering relevant informations during this step, we can zero in to a short, precise and specific theme . Moreover, if we do both these steps correctly then half of our job is done as a therapist.
@venu Sir, thank you knowing that you are always there to guide, gives me strength and reassurance . I did learn and I will try to do better going forward. Always grateful for your unwavering support
you are most welcome my blessed @hc2101
I realised the importance of support and community after I came back from my training at Omega, there is nobody I could reach back to and find the way… imagine someone having a day job as an engineer and then wanting to do this… What I realised is that when someone stands by our side our strength and confidence multiplies and that is my humble attempt. Ever there to serve all those who are on this journey of “wiping a tear and brining a smile!” .
Blessed to have you in my life.
Dear Venu Sir, That realisation itself speaks volumes about your depth and sincerity. Walking this path can feel incredibly lonely without the right support system. When someone simply stands beside us, not to direct but to hold space, our courage and clarity expand naturally. Your humble attempt is not small at all; it is exactly the kind of presence that transforms uncertainty into confidence and isolation into community. always grateful for being a part of this journey and Amarantos Family
This is an area where I often experience some confusion and would truly appreciate your guidance. When a client comes with multiple themes and the pain levels are almost the same, my intuition may indicate one particular theme, while the client feels drawn toward another. In such moments, I gently set aside my own intuition and choose to honor the client’s choice, trusting that it is what they are ready to work with at that time.
Thank you Venu Sir @venu for emphasizing on this important aspect. I was very particular in taking one issue at a time, and calling out clearly in the recent session. Felt very effective, response from client was better during regression.
Thanks for this wonderful support, which gives confidence in what we do.
What you shared is so real… this path feels very lonely without the right support, especially when someone is balancing a “regular” life along with such deep inner work. Having someone stand by you truly changes everything.
Your pure intention of building a space of support, learning and genuine holding is felt so strongly. It’s not just mentorship sir, it’s reassurance, direction and faith and that multiplies confidence in ways nothing else can.
I feel truly blessed and grateful to be learning and growing with your guidance on this journey of wiping tears and bringing smiles.
“No regrets until we’ve learned”
this sums up the whole journey so well. Each experience just adds another layer of clarity and maturity to the work.
I love the संकल्प analogy…it fits perfectly. The clear inner intention before a sacred journey…..once that’s set, everything aligns so naturally.
I guess with time, experience and ongoing research this clarity will only get stronger.
Grateful to be learning in this space and under such guidance Sir🙏
I really resonate with the idea of distilling everything down to one core issue. In practice too, once we zero in on that single fear, sadness or anger and the rest of the symptoms often start making sense on their own… like they were all branches of the same root.
Also loved your point about looking at piles as a possible expression of financial insecurity, this kind of thematic linkage is so helpful during Stage 8.
Thank you for sharing this, it’s a great reminder to keep the work focused, simple, and clean
knowing that you are always there to guide, gives me strength and reassurance . I did learn and I will try to do better going forward. Always grateful for your unwavering support
