Now What?

Now What? For some reason people forget to ask this question. You get married. Is that it? Now you can get on with “your” life, now that you got what you wanted? No way! No that you are married, you have a whole new “practice” to master called having a great marriage, keeping that great marriage alive. When people come to Life Path Healings for private work, they always leave with “homework”. If they do not do the homework no harm, no foul, or so they think.

Shenpa is not "calling out"

Shenpa: Is Not “Getting Called Out: First  read Pema Chodron’s article on Shenpa: (https://www.lionsroar.com/how-we-get-hooked-shenpa-and-how-we-get-unhooked/) She does address that people find it hard, threatening, embarrassing, to practice Shenpa even if it is coming from your Teacher that loves you so much s/he is more committed to your advancement than you are at times. Your Teacher is your path to extraordinary because s/he has no investment in praising you in your mediocrity or dysfunction in order to help you (falsely) “feel good” so you will keep coming back. Shenpa is a form of mindfulness, applied to you, so you can call it Mindful self-awareness. In this age of “victim worship” most people have been taught and rewarded for “praising” victims, no matter what. This approach infers that the victim is deformed delicate broken porcelain object that must be treated with soft gloves. As if the victim is so emotionally and mentally deranged that you must coddle them because dee...
