The Feeling Path is fast. And it’s a perfect companion to any other personal work you may be pursuing. No matter whether you’re going to therapy, involved in a self-help group, practicing meditation, working with an executive coach, or involved in any other growth or spiritual practices, you’ll appreciate how quickly you’ll get unstuck and move your progress forward once again.
Compatible with somatic therapies
Feeling is rooted in the body, and the experience of feeling intermingles with the experience of embodiment. Many times, somatic issues are interwoven with feeling states. For example, simple pain is far more tolerable when it is not complicated by the suffering of a dreadful feeling state which overlaps the physical area of the pain. Pain management goes more smoothly when accompanied by good feeling hygiene. And all somatic practices and therapies are improved when we are free to clear any feeling state obstacles that may be in the way.
Complementary to cognitive therapies
All conscious activity is grounded in feeling as its foundation. Even so-called “mental” activities like calculation and judgment, or states of numbness or confusion, can be traced to somatosensorily-based feeling states. And when you identify the underlying feeling states of dysfunctional patterns of thought or behavior and clear the reactive states, the thoughts, beliefs, perceptions, and behaviors naturally and spontaneously re-calibrate to a healthy and whole state of being. So any effort to change beliefs, thought patterns, or behavior gains effectiveness when combined with a strong program of clearing the underlying feelings.
Augments personal growth and spiritual practices
Any prolonged pursuit of personal or spiritual development eventually runs into roadblocks. These roadblocks can easily be traced to underlying configurations of reactive feeling states. Identifying and clearing these states is easy now, so anyone can more easily maintain forward motion in their chosen practice.
Creates leverage for personal coaching
Coaching usually focuses on goals and actions. But even the best intentions often go off the rails when we encounter deeper issues. And most coaches are inadequately prepared to help their clients move through those issues. Feeling State Imaging gives an opportunity to create movement by releasing small, internal obstacles. For most emotionally competent clients, judicious use of FSI results in faster and more consistent progress toward chosen goals.
Accelerates the pursuit of professional goals
When the next rung on the promotional ladder involves managing subordinates, giving presentations, or making high-stakes decisions, people who are otherwise highly qualified often find their careers stalled. When that next advancement involves actions that take the professional far outside his or her comfort zone, The New Feeling Psychology can help by clearing fear, hesitation, anxiety, or self-doubt and establishing new feeling states that promote success.
Enjoy Superior Support for Exactly Who You Are.
Many systems for advancing human potential rely on formulas and received wisdom for their success. The New Feeling Psychology takes a different approach.
In The Feeling Path, the central method – Feeling State Imaging – works its magic through an explicit enhancement of your own awareness. Through this enhanced awareness, you gain access to tremendously deep troves of wisdom within yourself. You make new connections between disparate areas of your life. You achieve insights that nobody who hadn’t lived your life would ever be able to see. You discover opportunities that have always been available for greater love, success and happiness which are uniquely your own.
I developed this work through long hours of asking really simple questions about the most basic of all human experiences, feeling. And listening. Long hours of listening taught me that I had no business thinking I had any answers for anyone else. That even the most basic of feelings, simple sadness, joy, anger, or fear which we all feel we understand in one another, exhibited an awesome uniqueness from one person to another.
I learned to simply ask, listen, and reflect back to someone what they said to me. In this practice, I learned to trust the innate wisdom in each person, no matter what their age, no matter what their history, no matter what their overt talents or capabilities. Each person is wise beyond measure when it comes to the domain of their own life.
It gives me great joy to facilitate awakening in this way, to be present as a witness as someone taps into the great knowing that is available to all of us. In response to some of my most basic questions as we move through the process, I am privileged to hear the most sublime statements of human truth, no matter who it is I am with.
As you might imagine, my clients appreciate the experience on their end as well. When we work, the only expert in the room is the client. I serve only as guide and witness, more of a porter to carry the baggage and manage the logistics.
