 | | The Healers Life! Syncing with Nature - Dr. Elisabeth Crim & Moonstone Center |
Greetings Fellow Healer,
It has been beautiful, HOT! but Beautiful the last several days and actually quite often this month. Across our state, country, hemisphere and world, the seasons and the weather they bring are changing. Each aspect of nature vibrates and brings a different energy with it as it is ever morphing. It is easy to become so focused on our busy lives that include our schedule of patients or clients, our care, provision, and nurture of our children and families and/or older parents that we as Healers and Health Care Providers can lose sight of the outward changes in nature that the steady shifts of time and space both allow and bring into our lives. Nature moves in powerful currents of seasons, each with its own energy and seeming character.
The Healer's Life! focus this months is "Syncing with Nature!" Dictionary.com's definition of "Sync" as a verb is "to synchronize or harmonize. As a noun, "Sync" means harmony or harmonious relationship. We also now use the term, "sync" to refer to getting all of our information from various technical devices to show up consistently within each device and location we use or find ourselves in. I titled this month's newsletter, "Syncing with Nature" after I recorded the video above. While outside I felt the intense heat on my skin, heard the ocean rolling loudly in the background, and saw the powerful sun-light in my eyes. I was and have been affected before, during and since by that powerful energy that nature provides. It led me consider how powerful it would be in our own holistic, mind-body-spirit-relational lives to also sync or harmonize with nature as we live fully within each setting or situation we find ourselves in. Syncing ourselves with nature, paying attention to the month, the day, the year, the season we find ourselves living in in this moment! To attend to the needs within and without that this attention invites into our consciousness.
To live our lives in a harmonious relationship internally and externally with nature's effecting and vibrating energy seems a key piece to the balance and integration we seek as health and wellness providers. How can we truly attend to mind, body, spirit, and relationship, if we are not also attending to nature, climate, and environment?
So my invitation to you today - Go outside and take your shoes off and feel the grass, dirt, sand, or even pavement beneath your naked feet! Let the sensation move from the soles of your feet to the soul of your being. Breath in the air, notice the temperature on your skin. Notice what emotions come up. See if you realize that it is May in 2014. Ask yourself, "what do I need now, today, this month, this summer?" What do I need to start planning now to meet that need? Then return to the sensation of grass under your feet...let the barefoot child within dance and smile and run free - if only for a minute or two!
Keep reading below and on the sidebar for upcoming events!
Until next month,
Blessings and Peace,
Elisabeth and the Moonstone Center Team

ONE MORE THING!
What if you can't get outside easily? What if you don't have open nature readily available to you? In addition to the importance of syncing with your actual own nature environment, we know that experiencing nature in and of itself can have relaxing and restorative effects.

Therapist-Centered Clinical Consultation
Experiencing challenges in building or maintaining your practice?
Feeling isolated from other therapists?
Struggling with certain patients who may have attachment or personality disorders?
Interested in integrating the Physical and Spiritual within your Psychotherapy Practice?
Aware of your own Counter-Transference with certain patients and needing a place for expert help in attending to it,
Desiring to utilizing your patient's transference and your own counter-transference for positive treatment outcomes?
If you answered Yes! to any of these, you may want to consider the Power of Consultation for support, clinical case exploration, transference/counter-transference issues, mind-body-spirit-relational psychotherapy and your own process and planning in your professional life journey!
I approach each professional with whom I consult from an inter-subjective approach, honoring both of our sets of knowledge, experience, and passion. I offer consultation within a context of safety and compassion toward self with a healthy dose of humor where possible! We are merely human beings who happen to be healers of other human beings on this journey called Life! I offer a space to safely explore what being a therapist, or other type of healing professional means to you and how to better assure you are going forward safely (emotionally, mentally, relationally, and yes spiritually and physically) for yourself and for those you are treating. I do this from a clinical perspective that is grounded in an inter-subjective and holistic psychodynamic approach to individuals and relationships. Give me a call...Let's have some fun together while we help you grow and heal and provide effective healing to others in your professional life journey!
I offer consultation via:
- Individual Consultation.
- Group Consultation.
- Form your Own Group with your own Trusted Colleagues
Contact me or call: 310.371.2800 if you want to schedule an individual session or if you want to form a group of your trusted colleagues for me to join as consultant. I am putting out a call to form a Therapist-Centered Consultation Group at this time.
