Create your own life now.
Every moment, every action, and every inaction is your teacher.
Fall seven times; stand up eight.
Japanese proverb
Only three things in life are certain; birth, death, and change.
Arabic Proverb
What happens during a session with Dr. Roy?
Well, I hear your story. I listen with practiced attention, intuition, and from my knowledge base. I unabashedly declare that I work from a platform of love and total acceptance. I connect with your authentic self beyond the story. This is the infinitely 'big' you which understands what is total health, goodness, has compassion for the 'little' you or your ego/personality, and has unconditional love for this 'little' one as well. This deeper attentiveness permits you to see your behavior without becoming defensive or self-critical. As a result of this freedom, change is possible. I welcome you to join me in this process of self-discovery and to be driven by the curiosity and joy of living according to your inner wisdom and creativity. You need only to be reminded to reactivate this authenticity within you. It has always been there and will always be there. Sometimes all it takes is a little bit of quiet to hear what your higher self needs to tell you.
We will look at several aspects of your self:
We need to check how your history impacts on your present life in ways you may be unaware of.
We will look at the facts in the reality of your present life, encourage your strengths, and engender responsibility in those areas of your life which you may have neglected. We will look to the past and encourage patterns of behavior which have worked for you and have made you feel proud.
We will listen to the narrative you are telling yourself about your current life situation and we will see if another 'story' fits better, for eg., turning the victim into the hero.
We can liberate you from your story by testing the truth of it for you and seeing how listening to what you are telling yourself makes you suffer and looking at how and where in the body/mind this suffering manifests. Once you grasp that your own self-talk is debilitating you, you can drop it and feel a deep sense of liberation from your mind's thought/emotions.
We will explore how it feels to be in the moment without any story whatsoever and to improvise the 'jazz' of life.
We will take life's day to day problems and approach them with renewed energy due to the larger reserve of clarity, creativity, and motivation gleaned from all of the above.
It is important to ventilate our 'story,' the package of history we all carry on our back, it is nice to feel understood, yet it is wonderful to let this go and focus on the NOW so as to create our lives anew in this moment. If we give too much attention to the story, it will 'stick,' and we might even start to believe it!
I will ask you to have your personal goals and values as a basis for your creative formations and subsequent actions in the world. Once you give birth to these and name them, they take on a life of their own.
I use tools such as meditation, guided relaxation, imagery, voice work, dream work, movement, and masks to help you get rid of your own 'masks' which you wear every day. (Yes, we can do this online).
I would ask you to quiet down so as to listen to your inner voice, your pure intelligence, which contains all the answers that you need. The 'noise' we make with our thoughts is so deafening and a cause for so much suffering. Once we learn to quiet down the bio-computer, we can connect with our true self and feel content.
At the end of the meeting we will review to make sure you have mastered the essential points and we will begin to apply these in a very practical and observable way so that you can begin to chart your progress.
Remember, the first meeting is a free 50 minute session for you to see how you feel about working with me. It's our relationship which heals - make sure the chemistry is right for you.
