“The Real Work: It may be that when we no longer know what to do we have come to our real work, and that when we no longer know which way to go, we have come to our real journey. The mind that is not baffled is not employed. The impeded stream is the one that sings.”

— Wendell Berry

Conscious Return from Traumatic Life Change

Can you now afford the expense of time, emotional energy, health, love, and money that experiencing a Dark Night of the Soul might cost?

Even though I was on a 20+ year spiritual path and held a high status job with all of the physical amenities and benefits, there were still many aspects of my old life that I had denied. I can look back now and realize that in that former life I was:

  • bombarded by clutter in my mind, physical space, and intentions,
  • motivated by the stresses of competition, time constraints, social norms, and deadlines,
  • living according to the expectations and standards of loved ones, clients, colleagues,
  • in constant denial of my authentic innermost desires and talents,
  • participating in a co-dependent marriage,
  • taking advantage of my physical health as though it would last forever, and
  • acting out of ego based on fears and self-doubts.

Although I thought I was happy, in fact, I was NOT. So, I initiated some seemingly easy life changes… acting like I was in control. Ha!!

Are you ready to unexpectedly let go of every aspect of your present life when your soul steps in and says it is time?

My soul’s yearning overpowered the plans that I had laid, and I was flung face-first into the hardest inner and outer work of my life. For five years I worked almost full-time clearing inner issues, old emotional baggage, unbeneficial patterns and habits, and physical stuff that I didn’t need. I could not support myself financially for the first time in my life and had to depend on others. I was forced to let go of my ego as I admitted to myself and others my fears, weaknesses, doubts, and then inability to perform as I had in the past. My life was put on hold for over five years, and then it took several years beyond that to rebuild a new life of my desires.

Do you have five to eight years to put your life on hold when an un-planned soul yearning says it is time for transformation?

If you can relate to my own experience above, then maybe you are already experiencing your own Dark Night of the Soul. Have you recently suffered traumatic life change through illness, loss of a loved one, a job lay-off or severe financial set-back, major lifestyle change, or some other emotional shock to your system? Then you may need help to Return from your Dark Night.

I understand where you are and I know the difficult grieving process that you face.
