Visiting Teachers / Lightworkers
Welcome fellow teacher, guide, lightworker, whatever philosophy or belief system you practice. I may not be able to see you and we may never meet but it is a joy to know that you are there and sharing your gifts with others.
Got the training but lacking confidence to do it?
I get a lot of mail from those who have taken various workshop leader training courses but have found that they cannot quite get to the point where they run sessions, workshops or counselling.
If you are in this position I would like to remind you that no matter what you do, you are still sharing what you have learned in your own wonderful and individual way with everyone you come into contact with regardless of whether or not you run courses or do what it was you were trained to.
For many of us the training was about our own personal growth and whenever we do work of that kind on ourselves everyone around us benefits anyway.
But, if you feel you would like to run workshops and have not yet done so (perhaps the fear is creeping in) then I urge you to just launch yourself in (having done some meditation and clearing work first of course) and just DO IT! "Feel the fear and Do It Anyway" as Susan Jeffers book urges.
Once you take the decision to go ahead the universe will support you. If you are concerned about quite how to go about it start to list the various things you need (venue, materials, advertsing etc.)
if you start to feel overwhelmed just focus on where you would hold the workshop and allow the perfect venue to come to you. Doing that will also build your trust and confidence because when it materialises it will just confirm what you already know and that is "what I need comes to me in the perfect time and way". If you need some help or encouragement, I am right here.
Been there, done that and have some advice to share with others?
Likewise if you have something useful or supportive to share with other like minded teachers/workshop leaders please email me and I will put your comments on the site. I know that I am still learning too.
Have you any useful resources?
If you have produced special resources for your clients that you feel i or other teachers would like to hear about then please let me know.
I produced the "Heal Your Life" Chants & meditations CD and the "Heartfelt" Affirmations to Release the Past CD with the new version of "I Love Myself the way I Am" by Jai Josefs. They have been produced specifically for use in workshops and where people cannot attend a workshop but want to gently try some processes. If you run Louise Hay style workshops You can use them with the guided meditations to reduce the 
pressure of doing all live mediations on your workshops or you can voice your own using the quiet music provided on the last three tracks.
I personally tend to use the "Doors" chant & meditation from the CD as it gives me 10-15minutes to gather my thoughts and relax at the beginning of a weekend workshop. It also means that I do not get distracted and forget to include something in the meditation, especially as this is an important opening up meditation.
The chants work fabulously well in the workshops as you may already know,
they set the mood and train the mind. I took the old songs and had them re-arranged and recorded by professional musicians to bring them a little more up to date and to make participants feel more comfortable singing along. I had previously noticed several workshop participants not joining in as some of the notes went particularly high or the harmonies got a
little confusing on the old tapes/CDs. The new chants enable people to join in at their own pitch easily.
Want to work alongside someone else?
If you have been trained to run workshops based on the Louise Hay philosophy and would like to come and work alongside me on a workshop just to build your confidence then contact me. My workshops are different to the standard ones, I have added some extra exercises and processes but your assistance would be appreciated. We are all part of the same family.
