“Lily has a skill for unearthing the dark and deep places within me. Once recognized, these always transform my relationships both with myself and with those who are in my inner circle. I am always surprised how easy and joyful these relationships can become. Lily has helped me to stand in the fire of intensity with my long term partner and to watch it evolve into a mutually loving and satisfying connection. ”
About Lily
Little did I know that the trauma and profoundly challenging emotions of my childhood would turn out to be a blessing. These experiences would set the stage for me to embrace life as a journey toward permanent healing and self love.
In my early thirties I received an MA in counseling and began working with teens. Through this work I started seeing more of my own wounded self and began to seek guidance. I greatly benefited from studying the work of Byron Katie. I also found the Enneagram to be helpful, as well as Neuro Emotional Technique (NET). Eventually, I integrated all of these into my counseling practice.
Fourteen years ago, my spiritual journey deepened profoundly with a diagnosis of breast cancer. Cancer put me face-to-face with my own mortality and led me to investigate the true meaning of life. Who am I really? What happens when I die? Seeking answers to these questions led me to the teachings of Non-Duality, in which I have been immersed for ten years. This journey has opened the door to greater peace, joy and wisdom.
Five years ago, I encountered Spiritual Response Technique (SRT). I have found SRT to be the technique that is most powerful in bringing about immediate shifts and release of deeply held issues. Some examples: Someone who has not talked to his brother in 10 years suddenly hears from him. Someone who has not slept well for years suddenly has restful nights. A house that has been on the market for years sells, and allows a couple to finally retire. I consider SRT to be the jewel of my long and wonderful journey thus far.
