'My journey back to earth' with Tiana Jacout of Woman Fest
|
|
|
|
Tiana Jacout spent much of her early life running away from pain, and not via a scenic route. Eventually she found spiritual peace at an ashram in India – then realised that she was still weighed down with emotional baggage that she hadn’t unpacked.
'I was vegetarian, meditating every day, practicing yoga, filling my mind with untold wisdom and feeding my spirit, how – HOW? – could there be parts of me that were still unhappy?
I felt so strong spiritually, and yet I continued to hold anger, to feel triggered. If I skipped a day of meditation, I felt uncomfortable in my own skin. I felt like I’d failed, as if there was something I wasn’t doing right, and I just needed to find it. I also began to recognise the different parts of myself – and that self-reflection was a huge teacher...'

'My wife did the Hoffman Process' by Dan Williamson
|
|
|
|
Some of you may have had a partner who did the Process before you and you had no idea what they were going to do or how to support them when they came back.
When Dan Williamson's wife decided to do the Hoffman Process, he wasn't entirely sure what it was she was signing up for - or what he and their young son could expect when she returned:
'We talked about it, but even Karen couldn’t really explain it. It wasn’t psychotherapy, or counselling, or life coaching, or mindfulness, or anything else I suggested. I couldn’t put a label on it. Eventually, I just let go of trying to pigeonhole it and decided I’d just have to trust it all...
If it takes just seven days for your partner to discover and to ‘move-on' from the thing that has haunted them for years, then it doesn’t matter what it’s called or what it is. All that matters is that you support them to do it, allow them the space to explore and be a part of the new and beautiful world when they return.'
If you have a partner who went on the Process and you stayed at home, or if you were in that position before you did the Process, we would be interested to hear your tips on how we can support you as well as how to integrate someone when they return.

July's Top Tip: Make time to relax in your Sanctuary
|
|
|
|
Enjoy a bit of quiet time in your Sanctuary today.
Make yourself at home and, if you like, put on some quiet background music. Recall your Sanctuary. Experience the beautiful landscape, the sound of birds, the sunlight, your tree of life. You may find that things have grown since you last visited. You may also find that there are some areas that need some attention. Wander over and sit by your river of life, watch the flow of the water and marvel at the energy it brings. Enjoy the peace, calm and safety you have available in this beautiful place.
Remember that you can invite others to join you in your Sanctuary. This is a wonderful place for you to relax, feel comfortable, and enjoy their friendship.
You can always visit our Hoffman post-Process page to listen to some visualisations to keep you supported and connected.
