“Perhaps there is a pattern set up in the heavens for one who desires to see it, and having seen it, to find one in himself.” -Plato
Mindfulness Worksheet
“R.A.I.N” is a mindfulness method created by Michele McDonald and expanded on by Tara Brach. Using this simple acronym, you can help yourself navigate moments of triggers, conflict, stress, and more. The process guides you through mindfulness and self-compassion practice and can be used as journal entries, as meditation practice, or on-the-fly reflection.
I expand the acronym to extend it to R.A.I.N.N. to make sure we emphasize both non-attachment to the stress at hand as well as nurturing compassion.
It’s compassion that makes presence possible.
Inner Refuge Meditation
True refuge isn’t found in a monastery, religion, ideology, or distant place; it exists within your own mind and body, though it hasn’t always felt safe there. Through my pre-recorded meditation audio, you can build a sanctuary within, an inner temple that becomes a source of wisdom, clarity, and restoration. Whether you return to the meditation repeatedly to strengthen this refuge or use it just once to establish a sacred space in your mind, you can always revisit your sanctuary. Use it to clear your mind before making decisions, for a better night’s sleep, for self-hypnosis, or simply to transition into deeper meditation.
Attachment Style Quiz
Take this free quiz from the perspective of one specific relationship in your life to just begin the inner reflection and awareness process of what patterns we’re operating in. Use this information as knowledge to grow, not as a new label to pick up (you are not an attachment style!). Attachment is so nuanced, and we all have layers of adaptations. In our work together we can explore more and work towards an inner sense of security that radiates outwards.
Here is a brief summary of the insecure versus secure strategies:
Avoidant Attachment: A tendency to or moments of dismissiveness; may have trouble with intimacy; difficulty with sharing thoughts and feelings.
Anxious Attachment: A tendency to or moments of hyper-dependence on others; difficulty with self-regulation; fears needs not being met.
Disorganized Attachment: A tendency to or moments of disconnection, numbness, and confusion; inconsistent and contradictory.
Secure Attachment: A tendency towards trust; a secure sense of self; ability to repair rupture; allows for imperfections and mistakes.
Your Astrology Chart
The popular Myers-Briggs personality tests are based on psychological astrology courtesy of Carl Jung. The Enneagram’s “mysterious esoteric roots” are from the wheel of life. When you’re ready to see the world for what it is, you can cut to the chase and learn your astrology. We are the cosmos knowing itself after all.
Your astrology is not a rigid typology but instead presents the cyclical and archetypal patterns of your subjective experience and awareness, offering self-knowledge for personal growth. The manifestation of these patterns transforms as our consciousness changes (as we heal).
Follow the below link to pull up your free birth chart. I do not recommend most of the astrology apps like CoStar with silly interpretations.
Enter your birth information, including time and location. If you only know a couple hour window for your birth time, I can help you narrow it down further in a session together.
Select “Zodiac and houses” and change the selection to “Whole Signs.” Other house systems I recommend are Porphyry. Equal, or Campanus. I do not recommend Placidus or time-based systems.
Select “Display and calculation options” and check True Node.
Select “Additional objects” and select Pars Fortunae. No need to add anything else unless you know what you’re doing.
