Exploring 2012 
& Its Meaning for Our Time
7-9PM, Friday, April 20, $10.   Pay at the door.
Theosophical Society

The year 2012 has fired the imagination of both the public and the media, and stirred emotions:  Is this an End-Time? the Birth of a New Age?  or Life as Usual?  Amidst a  welter of predictions and hype, it can be trying to discern what is going on.  In this talk, Ramsay will touch on several influences that shape the ways we think about 2012 and its meaning for our time, namely:

·        The ancient prophecy itself, originating in Mayan and other indigenous high culture traditions
·        The context of unprecedented historical change and challenge to our Earth community
·        Human psychological responses to times of uncertainty, the psychology of prophecy, extremism, and the higher reaches of human possibility
·        Indications of evolutionary change
This evening offers an opportunity to reflect upon the ways we might move forward through this unique time in history, and encourages attunement to our higher potentials as individuals and a community of evolving beings.  We explore how 2012 marks the beginning of a great cultural Turning that may - or may not - usher in a new age of enlightened living. Advance registration with Ramsay is appreciated, but not required.

Wild Wisdom Talk:
How Dreams Guide & Support Personal Change

Our night dreams give us direct access to the guiding wisdom of the creative unconscious to promote our healing, integration and wholeness. Drawing upon the spiritual psychologies of CG Jung and Psychosynthesis, as well as the wisdom of the body, this talk focuses on how dreams guide and support personal change, and how this process is greatly enhanced when we consciously work with our remarkable right-brain resource. Ramsay's talk includes stories of transformative grace, a "map" of the psyche, and useful tips on working with dreams at home.

Inner Work with Ramsay
Acton & Arlington

Our evolution takes place along two interwoven paths:

The Via Negativa
We come into self-awareness through encounters with the "pain body" of human experience.
Suffering that rises in response to change, limitation, and confusion can drive us to do inner work as we seek greater freedom and joy.  Counseling with Ramsay may address issues such as stress, loss, burn-out, low self-esteem, loneliness, addictions, life transitions and identity changes, future anxiety, blocks to expression and creativity, and despair for the planet as we sense its evolutionary struggle intensifying.

The Via Positiva
We experience the living daylight of our essential nature, and move with positive faith through our transitions.  Here we respond to the call to greater life that informs even our darkest times.  Inner work with Ramsay supports these impulses toward deeper love,  aliveness, and expression of our gifts and callings.  The work supports the natural stages of de-structuring and restructuring that help the personality to integrate and deepen connection with Spirit.

Inner Work with Ramsay supports these intertwining aspects of our natural evolution toward greater life.

What to expect
While your dreams may reflect universal themes that can be named, they are best understood within the context of your unique circumstances, personality, and history.  Ramsay's work includes interpretation, and also ways of guiding you into your own experience of the dream so that the meaning emerges for you from within.

Because dreams can lend themselves to many interpretations, you are encouraged to view Ramsay more as guide or mirror, than as expert.  No one can tell you what your truth is.  The meaning or relevance you can trust is the one that resonates or "clicks" with you, whether the thoughts that trigger these originate with you or her.  This "aha" is often experienced as a felt sense of relevance or "rightness", like a piece of a puzzle fitting into place, or a stringed instrument coming into tune.

Session length & rate
You may choose the length of time you would like to speak by phone whether to explore a dream, a dream "snippet", or a series of dreams.  You may also work a scene from the dream of your waking life. Sessions may last anywhere from 20" to 90" at the rate of $1 per minute.
To set up a call

Email or call Ramsay to request a session, indicating the length of time
you prefer.  Please provide your name, address, and phone number, and pay in advance by check or money order.  (Shopping cart to come soon.)  When Ramsay has received your payment, she will contact you to schedule the session and to ask for basic information to help orient her to your person.  It is helpful, but not necessary, to send Ramsay a write-up of the dream before the session.

Prana Karma

Energy Healing & Zen Tarot Reading
Prana Karma Energy Healing (PK) is a gentle form of healing touch which corrects and enhances the flow of prana or chi (life force) within the physical, emotional, and etheric structures of the body/ mind. It helps to restore natural balances by dissolving blocks, increasing resiliency, optimizing function, promoting rapid healing, and by calming and balancing the being.

PK is the root of various modern energetic healing practices, such as Reiki, Pranic Healing, Polarity Therapy, and others- some of which are closer, some farther removed from their font. Fully respecting all individuals who practice these recent modalities, you are invited to experience the source.

Zen Tarot Readings These evocative, original images help to illuminate and fertilize the issues at hand. They provide timely reflections as guides and sustenance for the psycho-spiritual journey. Mini, Midi, or Maxi Readings, ranging from 30 to 75 minutes are available in person or by phone. Call for details. "A seriously fine combo...." Sessions in Prana Karma can be combined with a mini-reading from Osho's Zen Tarot. The familiar language of image and archetype helps to ground the subtle effects of PK long after the session is over. This "seriously fine combo", as one recipient said, also can be incorporated with on going psychotherapy or inner work.

Counseling & Psychotherapy

Inner work may address the following kinds of aspirations and issues:

· Coaching support for initiatives in personal, work, community, or spiritual life. Weight gain or loss? Religious confusion? Need to contribute more fully to others?

· Self-esteem & empowerment

· Discovery & development of gifts, potentials

· Relationship dynamics

· Inner guidance

· Loss & bereavement

· Transitions in work, health, relationship, identity, & life-stage

· Recovery of meaning or purpose in living

· Religious confusion or wounding

· Disconnection from self, nature, source

· Uncertainty or despair for the future and the planet

Brief Work may be as short as a single session or as long as a season. Frequency of meeting reflects goals, needs, and resources. The focus may be a specific short-term goal or an open-ended inquiry into a compelling situation, inner or outer. It may focus on a conflict, a dream, an aspiration, memory, feeling.


Ongoing Work allows for a depth of process to unfold that ordinary living does not allow. The soul is responsive to safety and slower rhythms of attunement and discernment. Ongoing work three to four times a-month allows the deeper issues that structure personality to gradually move foreground for healing and re-integration into a fuller sense of identity.


Multi-Modal Ways of Engaging. The work draws on different levels and modes of awareness. It may include some of the following: life style assessments, bodily centering and grounding, inner dialogue with parts or issues, trance work, guided imaging and dreamwork, art-making and mandalas; thought field therapy, energy medicine; life stories, healing through light, sound, movement, or touch. Frameworks that hold the work are: Psychosynthesis, Gestalt, and Archetypal Psychologies, Energy Medicine, The Enneagram of Psychotypes, as well as meditative principles and practices.


Sessions. Most meetings take place in-person to allow the perceptions and energetics of joined presence to guide and contribute to growth and healing. When suitable, Brief Work may be arranged by phone or Skype.


Fees. $75-140 per hour. Sliding scale is offered to accommodate needs and resources. Sessions run 1 hour with an option to work up to 75-90 minutes.


PK & ZT descript

Energy healing with

Prana Karma

&

Zen TaroT



Prana Karma (PK), a mode of hands-on energy healing, is the most distinctive and effective therapeutic modality in Suddha Yoga & Ayurveda. It corrects and enhances the flow of prana or chi (life force) through one's body being. Working on all levels unitively, it helps to restore balances through the innately intelligent workings of source energy.

Whether through direct touch or long-distance work, Prana Karma

· Dissolves blocks

· Increases resiliency

· Optimizes function

· Promotes rapid healing

· Calms and balances

Prana Karma Energy Healing is the root of various modern energetic healing practices, such as Reiki, Pranic Healing, Polarity Therapy, and others - some of which are closer, some farther removed from their font. Fully respecting all individuals who practice these recent modalities, I invite you to experience the source.


Prana Karma is offered in combination with a mini-reading from Osho's Zen Tarot. These superb original images help to illuminate and fertilize the issues at hand, providing synchronistic reflections as guides and sustenance for the spiritual journey. The familiar language of image and archetype helps to ground the subtle effects of PK long after the session is over. This seriously fine combo is also employed to enrich and facilitate ongoing psychotherapy.


SESSIONS

Prana Karma is a meditative process during which the practitioner directs energy through the body by applying touch to the back, head, hands, and feet to circulate prana in a balanced way. The recipient is clothed, and sessions last 1¼ hr. Prana Karma itself takes about 30-35". The remainder of the consultation, which includes a mini-Zen Tarot reading, elicits needs and goals, and clarifies resources for fulfilling those aspirations.


Fee. $50-100. A sliding scale feel is offered to make this form of healing more broadly accessible, while still generating the funding to support the work. Based on financial resources, each is trusted to peg the fee at a level he or she can reasonbly afford.



What some are saying, so far…

...about Prana Karma sessions


I would like to share the peaceful healing I experienced with Ramsay as a volunteer to try the PK she had told me about. Since I do Reiki, Polarity Therapy, Hypnosis and have studied or tried many other modalities of healing, I was curious about this avenue of which I had not heard.


As Ramsay placed her hands on me I felt an extremely soft, delicate touch which exudes energy in a profoundly gentle but direct way. The feeling or sense of great love from the practitioner left me with a feeling of safety and respect. I have NEVER experienced such profound love flowing through her hands in any other session of anything in my life. Afterward I felt balanced in my body, and felt a peace in my chest I had not experienced before. I highly recommend Ramsay as a PK practitioner. - Sue McCombs, Hypnotherapist


…. about Prana Karma & Zen Tarot Combos

*** Thanks you so much for the wonderful sessions, and your generosity with expanding the work. It was lovely to receive the beauty and grace of how you work: so fluid and full of wisdom and sublime tenderness. I felt very seen. - Jen Swan, Bodyworker


*** I am feeling much more grounded, centered, and creatively renewed after our session, Ramsay. You're really gifted and I appreciated it. I have already given your name to several friends and clients. (Two months later:) I seriously credit the work we did together on the way things changed, Ramsay.

- Shawn McGivern, LMHC, professor, counselor


*** It took about four days for the session to sink in, but when it did that chronic back pain went away. And the feeling of heaviness that I had been carrying for a couple of months from caring for two people in trouble, that went. The back pain is still gone now, two weeks later.

- GM, professor
