Personal Evolution Counseling® Sessions

What are Personal Evolution Counseling Sessions?

We change each day whether we intend to or not; what that change looks like depends a great deal on you. Personal Evolution Counseling sessions can be part of your intentional process of spiritual evolution. Mara’s background in body/mind/spirit psychology, shamanism and ecospiritual methods, intuition, Reiki, Healing With Spiritual Light, and other forms of integrated healing informs each meeting. Sessions blend shamanic and energy healing methods, with intuitive guidance to give you a customized plan for spiritual healing, personal growth, and emotional well-being. The work starts with an initial consultation.

Mara Bishop has been working with me since the early 1990s. Her work is brilliant. She is one of the best communicators I know and has a presence that is so grounding and you just feel safe with. I also appreciate that she dives deep with her students by teaching one on one.She is really such a beautiful soul and does deep work. She has been in some life initiations and she is now a Wise Woman.

Initial Sessions

Initial sessions start with time for you to share whatever you like about you and your goals for our time together. Ask questions and get a sense of if I am a good match for you as a practitioner. Ideally, you’ll come with areas to focus on, and we can do intuitive work in this session. I’ll do an assessment to create a plan for how we can work together to address what you’ve brought up. Often, we have some time during this session to start healing work. Sometimes, we need the full session for sharing, questions, and planning.

Process

The process of personal transformation begins with learning, using intuitive guidance to help you see yourself more clearly. The next stage is about inspiring healing at the core energetic level. Once these two processes have begun you can integrate the new awareness and spiritual changes into your everyday life to bring about evolution. The shifts that can happen with insight and spiritual support, combined with your active participation in making changes in your life, lead to personal evolution.

Working With Mara

Consultations contain a unique blend of methods. One week you might be most in need of data, so we would focus on intuitive consulting: practical, grounded information about both the larger patterns in your life and the details of moving into the future effectively. The next week might be focused more on uncovering and addressing issues affecting you on an energetic level. That session might utilize time-tested methods to bring unity to body, mind and spirit, such as shamanic healing. Some sessions may combine different modalities. Sometimes, I give you ideas to try at home in between sessions to help you progress more quickly. If you are interested in going deeper on your own, we can talk about ways to learn some of these methods, like shamanic journeying, Reiki, and the Energy Ecosystem-Shining Bright Without Burning Out toolkit.

ENATURED™

The Enatured™ method helps us consciously engage the environment for relationship, support, and restoration. Enatured™ draws from shamanism, psychology, mindfulness, and scientific research about nature.

Enatured™ creates a gentle structure around our time communing with nature to help us focus on specific intentions and achieve notable outcomes. Private sessions can be held remotely or in person.

CONVERSATION WITH CATS

Conversation with Cats sessions are in person at WholeSpirit. These sessions provide the same kinds of intuitive, practical, grounded consultation that you are used to receiving from Mara. In addition, they offer the mental, emotional, and spiritual support that can be part of the animal-human bond experience.

Sessions do not include initial consultations with assessments, energy or shamanic healing work, journeying instruction, or drumming.

These are individual sessions, primarily for existing clients, scheduled in advance.

While the cats are welcome in the space, of course we don’t force them to be present or participate in any way. It is their choice. These sessions take place in a different space from the usual Whole Spirit office, where the cats spend more time. Because they are cats, they’ll do what they want. We will have our session regardless of their level of interaction, focusing on the issues you want to bring, looking out at the trees, and perhaps being visited by other wildlife too.

Energy

I am absurdly grateful for my work with Mara

It was amazing... the most important thing is that the sadness and hate were gone since that night! It's wonderful!

When you put your hands on my head I felt so much energy coming from your hands. And I just felt like I wanted to smile. I started to feel so happy. I have never had an experience like that in my life.

Words alone cannot fully express my gratitude…I can't begin to explain or understand what you have done for me, I can only appreciate the transformation that I have been experiencing since our sessions began ...You are Heaven sent.

What you just said was more helpful than 8 years of therapy! I never thought about it that way. It changes everything.

I feel absolutely wonderful and clear after our session today.

It was truly life changing for me, and the best way I can describe it is that I feel “filled” with a new vitality in my heart. Thank you.

After the session and today I am feeling internally more at ease, calm and I feel a sense of well- being.

One session with you opened my path, my heart, my hope.

I am feeling amazing. You are incredible!

In a world that is so fantastically wrong, this feels right. When I needed help, this helped me. Nothing else did.

I have definitely noticed a change. I'm sleeping better, have more energy and I'm in a better mood all together.

I felt much lighter and more optimistic, and much more energized.

Since starting regular sessions with you, I feel amazingly connected to the vibrancy of life in a way that I haven't been in such a long time. I notice the miraculous way that I am interacting with nature and I stand in awe… The healing work that you did on my legs and feet recently was totally unexpected. I cannot believe how quickly the pain disappeared after that session.

I feel amazingly better, unbelievably so

The soul retrieval was magical, It fixed me when nothing else worked.
