5 Transformative Questions
Teaching and therapy have a lot in common. They're both about raising consciousness in order to support transformation in the learner or client so that they can become better able to make a beneficial difference in their world and in their life. As an educator and therapist, I find myself asking the same questions in both realms.
1. In the way you are living your life, how are you being the medicine?
In teaching naturopathic medical students, the relevance of that question is obvious. But if we think about medicine as energetic spiritual power, I think this question applies to all of us on the transformational consciousness path.
2. What do you trust?
Notice I didn't ask who. This question is asking in what do you place your belief that all is and will be as it should be? It's always interesting to try to take this question down as deep as one can with as much honesty as one can stand.
3. For what cause would you give your life, and would historians say this is what you actually gave your life energy to?
The answer to this question is often very telling as to how congruent we are with our espoused and actual values.
4. How would you describe the sensory experiences of peace of mind, contentment, curiosity, soul healing, and connectedness as felt on the insides of your body?
Have you ever thought about how such qualities of mind or experience have bodily felt sensory components? Try paying attention to this some time. The results can provide an amazing awakening in consciousness.
5. At the end of your life, what will you have dared so that you can pass on with no regrets?
Daring is one of the most essential transformative energies that I know of. It's a catalyst for becoming everything we are meant to be. Try it; it's a powerful medicine. Take a chance on small risks at first, until you get the hang of it, and don't neglect practical safety measures----even Evel Knievel wore a helmet. But just think about it-----how far will you leap into the unknown, or over the perceived mountains that turn out to be molehills?
