Natural Law Counseling is about having a life of joy & increased well being allowing you to recognize & harness higher states of consciousness to find insights into problems & heal from the past. These laws, or principles, also show you how to naturally become more present in life, so that you have access to your wisdom & common sense. Couples re-discover their capacity to be in love, & learn about the alchemy of relationship as a path toward healing. Natural law Counseling teaches couples, & people in relationships of all kinds, about natural paths to connection, enhanced communication & intimacy. You will learn how presence enhances connection with others, & mental distractions of all kinds get in the way of it. Rather than using techniques, you will learn to catch on to what you do that brings connection naturally. Mental states that block intimacy fall away as people gain confidence in their capacity for well-being & connection. [ Email Annika Schahn ] [ to counselor - therapist website ]
