Through the eyes of a transpersonal counselor

In this chapter, although it may seem like we are talking abouthuman problems, what we are about to expose are episodes full oflove and life, of lives that have been observed by and shared with atranspersonal counselor. A transpersonal counselor works from a kindof observatory that even though it isnt really like the ones that aresituated on the top of some high mountain and that focus on thegalaxies of the universe, is the kind of observatory that can be foundwithin privileged interior spaces where, not only are unique storiesfull of humanity and magic told, but where experiences tinted withshadow, pain and of intensity are also shared. These experiences arewhat awaken compassion within the observer and a wish toaccompany the person that is baring their soul.

In any case, a transpersonal counselor is somewhat like anastronomer of Beings, and like the astronomers that contemplate themovements of celestial bodies, he observes the scenes of love andhatred of his patients, as well as the infinite intertwining of attractionand rejection that gives shape to the laws of life.

As the reader advances through the following pages, he/she will be inthe privileged place of travelling in the seat next to the transpersonalcounselor, observing through eyes of intelligence and love, thejourney to the inside of another being- from the counselors point ofview. This is what we have called initiation tourism of the future, ortourism through the human soul. Really, the unexpected episodesthat we witness in our sessions not only provide us with an enrichingsense of diversity, they also quite often provide the counselor- who isan eternal scholar of life- with the acute sensation that what ishappening to the person that is in front of them coincides with a

similar episode of their own life.

At the same time, the student will have the chance to observe howeach of the patients (or perhaps we should call them caterpillars)conflicts are far from being negative or insignificant. These conflictsare really one of the most important driving forces of human growth.We will observe how pain appears during the process of growing;pain that drives us to search for, and acts as a detonator of, change.

This training course is directed towards those people that are in lovewith the human race. Perhaps the counselor or companion that liesdeep inside each one of us, inside our heart, has already fallen in love

with the human race. We finally acknowledge our love andtenderness towards all of humanity, as well as the deep satisfactionwe feel when we are able to penetrate through the superficial masksof personal images and finally reach the core of Being- even whenthat process takes us through many bittersweet experiences.

Often during the chapters of this course, we will use the alreadyfamiliar term shadow to refer to that space in the human mindwhere an individual has buried, out of shame or self reproach, and

often without having previously digested or accepted, that whichmight provide them with a wonderful starting point from where totake a huge step towards their own personal evolution.

However, what usually happens is that in an ordinary state ofawareness we find ourselves trapped by the rules about what issupposedly good and bad. During our lives we have often beenreproached and threatened for feeling and/or wanting many kinds ofthings that we were sure others would consider terrible. Often, wecarry within us unmentionable experiences that have taken place

during stages of our lives when we didnt have enough maturity orknow-how in order to deal with them. We werent able to put awaythose unmentionable experiences in the experiences full of learningcabinet. Consequently, we live with the paralyzing fear of beingjudged and condemned that leads us to bury those experiences in asafe place- and forgetting often seems like the safest place for that.This is a type of amnesia that we have been forced to activate inorder to continue living as best as we possibly could, in order tosurvive.

Along the path that each human being walks towards self-realization,there needs to be a maturing process at each stage or step of thejourney. If there are any unresolved issues left along the way, theuniversal evolutionary process will invariably confront us with thosetypes of experiences that we need to live in order to check andresolve any patterns or attitudes that, no matter how much we havetried to cover up or ignore, end up manifesting themselves. Theyappear in the shapes of exaggerated behaviors, complexes, fears,insomnia, anxiety, undesirable tendencies, insecurity and low selfesteem, as well as in a variety of (self) destructive emotions that we

would rather avoid recognizing, feeling or expressing. What ends uphappening is that we repeat over and over and over again preciselythose issues/patterns that are related with the original unwanted or

unaccepted experience. These cycles continue to repeat themselvesuntil, at some point, we finally become Conscious of the entiresituation and then, but only then, are able to bring it all out into thelight.

As we mature and move along the path that will eventually lead us toa sense of unified awareness that is part of the awakening of thesupra-consciousness, our shadow strives to be illuminated with thelight of consciousness. The expansion of consciousness is aprogressive process that often isnt accepted, nor is it understood, at

the human level- even when this process is charged with humanityand full of potential beauty waiting to be expressed.

As transpersonal counselors, while we observe the life experiencesthat our patients share, we can see how those supposedinconveniences that each person has been gifted with to live, areprecisely what end up becoming their advantages or strong points.They are like calluses that form on our feet: the hardest and mostprotected areas of our soles have developed precisely on the mostvulnerable and punished spots of our feet. Something similar happens

with those issues that at one time shamed or tortured uswith thepassage of time, and once we have worked them out and becomeAware of all the pieces of the puzzle, those once uncomfortable issuesare transformed into our greatest virtues and talents.

Guidelines:

The Transpersonal Counselor accompanies his/her patient in the journey through

their shadows and in the activation of that which resonates with the core of their

Being.

Behind pain and loss awaits the treasure.

Shadow wants to be illuminated by the light of consciousness.

Observing and accepting the shadow

The human shadow were talking about, no matter how wretched itmay seem, isnt really an enemy to fight and destroy- because thisinevitably would be a lost battle. As we go through our life processesand mature, we need to understand that one, this isnt exactly abattle against some form of evil and two, that we will eventuallyreach the state of Benevolence without opposite. Not by goingagainst the supposed evil, but in spite of evil. Please note that in thiscase we are referring to inattention, egoism and ignorance when wespeak of evil.

The transpersonal counselor realizes that instead of trying to imitatepatterns of apparent goodness that dont really come from theinside, but come out of the somewhat inappropriate regions wherefear and manipulation are engendered, it is much more desirable tostop fooling yourself and be authentic. Perhaps it would be moreconvenient for us to accept our limitations and learn from theexperiences that we repeat over and over again, until we are able toconvert our errors into lessons.

As we walk along our life path, respect towards others and virtue as a

way of life can only come forth spontaneously when we venture intothe spiritual core of Being. The manifestations of love and clarity thatwe then express are a natural consequence of our personaldevelopment and are made without any kind of limiting idealization orrepression.

We are aware that the development and maturing process of ahuman being passes through an initial stage of confrontation with allthat we dont like about ourselves- in other words- facing our

shadows and repressed areas. The next stage consists in theacceptance and integration of those areas. Any shift in our evolutiongoes through an initial period when we recognize our shadows inorder to later integrate them. The episodes of suffering and crisis thata human being goes through and that lead them to ask for counselingare the birth pains of a new self that is emerging, as well as a sign ofthe resistance they have towards accepting that what is. Without adoubt these episodes, that may seem negative, are really full ofopportunities to grow, change and overcome what the universe offersus.

their bodies dont walk up the stairs as well or if their eyes needlenses to see with, their brain, the neuro-physiological base wheretheir experiences are registered, is constantly being updated. Ageing

is the pathway towards Awakening of Universal Knowledge that hasbeen called by different names: Spirit, Light, Love, Infinity,Fullness...and which the fourth wave of Psychology has namedTranspersonal State.

The word transpersonal is another way to refer to that which has doto with spiritual, but is clearly separated from religious beliefs,credos or the following of supposedly illuminated personalities.Spiritual, in this context, refers to the level of love and expanding ofconsciousness towards the Oneness that a human being has reached

during his/her life.

From this perspective, evolution can be considered on three levels : itis born from a state of pre-consciousness, moves towardsconsciousness and ends in supra-consciousness or consciousness ofOneness. This is easier to understand when using the linguisticversion that incorporates the concept of personal: the child is in apre-personal state, the adult is fundamentally in a personal stateand the sage or illuminated elder is in a transpersonal state.

Guidelines:

A mysterious evolutionary impulse pushes Human Beings towards continuous

learning and expansion.

According to the principle of cerebral neuroplasticity, we can continue to grow in

wisdom until the moment we die.

Spiritual refers to the level of love and the expansion of consciousness that we

express during our lives.

Our pathway flows from pre-consciousness to consciousness and from consciousness

to supra-consciousness.

Love as medicine

Sometimes we stop and ask ourselves: what is it that opens up thepathways of light in the darkness and re-activates the basic joy that

we have temporarily lost? Could technology have the answer? Or is itin academic knowledge? Or in a miraculous pill?

Perhaps all these elements are important to some degree anddepending upon the moment. However, after many years of workingwith human beings, the Spanish Institute of TranspersonalDevelopment has come to the humble conclusion that what reallycures the human being is love. The infinite rainbow of love that goesall the way from what we call small love to what we call big love.

Small love is the kind of love we feel towards the people that are

important to us. This is a conditional love: conditioned by the objecttowards which it is directed and from which it gets its reason forbeing. This means is that when we say that we love a person, whatwe really love is the satisfaction we obtain from a series of behaviorsthat have a specific identity and contain a little bit of soul. In fact,when the object of our small love begins to behave in a way thatdoesnt satisfy us, our interest begins to fade and eventually we mayeven reject them and/or feel hatred towards them. Maybe we shouldbegin to consider that what we often call love really has more to dowith our psychological contracts.

Big love, or transpersonal love, is the opposite of small love. It isConscious Love; love that isnt conditioned by behavior because it isa love that is not directed towards an object. We could call this love alove-attribute: it sprouts from the deep essence of Being, simplybecause it IS. It is Universal Love that makes no distinctions, thatflows from the universal being that we Are. When we know at afundamental level that we are a part of the Whole, any sense ofseparateness between the Self and the you is an illusion.

From this perspective we can recognize love as a form of consciousenergy. This conscious energy acts in presence and is infinite in itsreach because it goes beyond the limits of linear time that thethinking mind creates. Thus, Love is truly miraculous in all itsmanifestations. As the wise man said:

If you dont believe in miracles, you arent realistic.



10/21

Guidelines:

Love is what really cures human beings.

Love is a state of consciousness.

Everything is possible: someone that doesnt believe in miracles isnt realistic.

Compassion is an intelligent form of love

This initial contact with the transpersonal counselors way of seeingalso goes for those students who, in some way, feel they resonatewith the focus of this course. Perhaps they already show a naturaltendency to offer their help to others that are going through hardtimes; perhaps they are the good of heart beings that have a callingto assist those that ask for their help by listening to them attentively,intelligently and compassionately. These are the people thatinvestigate and search for efficient ways to alleviate the suffering ofthose that surround them, without necessarily needing to have

previously great academic preparation in order to do so.

This is the main reason why the content of this TranspersonalCounselor training course isnt directed exclusively towards eruditeprofessionals that already posses a number of degrees, but isdirected towards students that arent necessarily experts, towardsstudents that have observed their own conflicts and recognized theirown different states of crisis as well as having acknowledged theirmany shadows and that have the will to bring them out into the light.

The case reports that are presented within this training course areintended to expose the most vital parts of the human soul- thoseparts that appear when a new butterfly emerges from out of a crisisand spreads its wings.

The privilege of being a psychotherapist

As transpersonal counselors ourselves, we wish to explain that atsome time during our own lives we made the decision to accompanyothers along their own particular search for that something morethat each one of us has already, at some time of our life, searched todiscover. During the course of this therapeutic cycle we have had theprivilege of sharing thousands of personal interviews- we sincerelyhope that it is clear to the students that read them that we have triedto share our patients problems with the utmost sensibility and withgreat respect.

We humbly acknowledge that in the name of our patients pain we

have evoked all our own past pains. We have recognized in the name

of their conflicts all of our own updated conflicts. We have recognized

in the name of confusion, of doubt, of mental blockage and insanity,all of our own innermost records in which we have at some time or

another seen ourselves reflected.

We have also seen how patients that supposedly come to us in search

of solutions and understanding, are not really looking for a new

mental model (even if the search is partially unconscious) but are

searching for an awakening to a Greater Life Path that will give deep

meaning to their future. From this perspective we have always

considered that the person that gets up after a fall is morecourageous than the person that has never fallen. We admit that the

painful episodes and crisis that we go through along our life paths

force us to look for answers in places that otherwise we would never

have looked. We open up our mind and heart and fully receive what

we intuit has something to do with kindness, truth and beauty. Those

are the moments when, even though we may be wallowing in pain,



12/21

12

the Extraordinary makes a swift appearance in our life; those are God

filled moments.

Thus, we can affirm that the supposed illness or crisis that we

experience, along with its corresponding agitation, fear and blockage,

is really an opportunity that life offers us to make changes that, more

or less, confirm the veracity of the following aphorism:

The Universe writes straight with twisted lines.

Guidelines:

In the name of our patients pain we recognize our own pain.

Within illnesses and crisis we can find our great opportunities.

The supreme joy of feeling useful

Following along the same lines as in the previous paragraphs, andbefore we delve into the depths of clinical cases, we would like toshare the time when a good friend of ours, Carlos NN., interviewedJos Mara Doria, the director of our Institute, on the radio. One ofthe things Carlos asked Jos Mara was: What is the life of atranspersonal counselor like? Without a seconds doubt, Jos Maraanswered: Fascinating. Carlos insisted on knowing the reason why.Jos Mara answered: There are four good reasons. And we havedecided that it would be a good idea to share, word for word, what

Jos Mara explained:

The first reason is that one has the chance to connect with thedeepest and most intimate parts of the human being. Without adoubt, a counselor opens up to the gift of sharing internal landscapesthat speak of the diverse and intense humanity that we are andwhich, at the same time, enriches the quality and consciousness ofliving.



13/21

13

The second reason is because, due to the nature of the professionalAgreement incurred, one does not spend time exploring superficialtopics, but right from the start of a session, focuses the attention on

that which can bring about liberation and growth, that which comesout of real and intense communication. Otherwise, the session wouldbe a waste of our time, interest and money.

The third reason is: precisely because I have chosen to practice thekind of counseling I have explained above, it enables me to feel aconnection to the real meaning of life and to the very purpose of ourexistence. I must say that the process of helping to alleviate sufferingand setting some guidelines regarding what is essential, is a gift for

me. It is a gift that awakens my own consciousness andconsciousness. In this consumer society that constantly bombards uswith promises of reaching happiness through material things, nomatter how hard we try to cultivate our total attention and presence,we live with the threat of amnesia. We also tend to forget the valuesthat truly provide peace and happiness in life. We could say that thecurrent socioeconomic model is trying hard to sell us the idea thatacquiring things or having huge bank accounts will provide us withthe happiness we all yearn for. And even though this socioeconomicmodel is losing credibility fast, the global hypnosis is so extended that

if it werent for the constant opportunities to remember that mypatients and students give me, I would soon fall prey again to theamnesia.

Sometimes I have asked myself: Am I only doing this job in orderto be able to stay on the track of what is Essential?

I also feel that during the sessions that I have with my patients

(patients that have come to me looking for a way to wake up fromthe nightmare that they are living in under the guise of everydayconflicts) life is offering me a new opportunity to go a few metersdeeper into myself. Some time ago I realized that agitation andconflict belong to a superficial layer of the human mind. This is simplyanother way to refer to the dream we live trapped in, even when wearent fully aware of it. The immersion into the depths of myself ishealing- it resembles what happens to a swimmer that, frightened ofthe threatening waves around them, ends up going underwater anddiscovers with marvel that, when experienced from underneath,



14/21

14

those once threatening waves pass over their heads without hardlyany agitation. The same thing happens in the realm of emotions:when we manage to live in connection with the deepest parts of

ourselves, and from there connect to the intrinsic peace and love thatis our essence, we will no longer have to put up with the agitationthat suffering causes because we will know that they are onlysuperficial experiences. Thus, I have come to acknowledge that theperson that comes to my practice is really acting as a wakeup call forboth of us.

And getting back to my reasonsthe fourth one is that I experiencewhat could be called the supreme joy of being useful. Actually, the

most profound reason for my life, that is, what motivates me themost to get up with enthusiasm every morning, is nothing less than awish to contribute in some way to lighten the burden of humansuffering and, in many cases, lessen the underlying ignorance in ourcurrent human condition. The deep joy comes out of the honor that itis for me to be able to share efficient tools and resources that help inovercoming conflict, and from attending with awe the emergence of alife in which a person has learned to learn.

Is there any better experience than that of watching a film in which

suffering and blindness progressively dissipate? Could there be abetter profession than that which allows one to aid in the evolutionthat a caterpillar undergoes on its path towards becoming a butterfly?Even when the process entails a certain degree of pain andconfusion?

I must insist that as a transpersonal counselor I dont intend to cureanyone- only one can cure oneself. But what I can say that I do do, isto offer a space where communication and consciousness can thrive,where this simple obstetrician attends the birth of the new self of a

patient, the birth of a higher and deeper level of consciousness thathas been waiting for the moment to be born.

Guidelines:

In the depths of consciousness can be found the relief for superficial conflicts.



15/21

15

Our patients are the wake up calls of our own initiation path

The transpersonal counselor is the obstetrician of the patients new identity.

The supreme joy of being useful in the evolution of our patient.

The simplicity and neutrality of the counselor

We often explain to the students of the Spanish Institute ofTranspersonal Counseling that in order to help a human being in

crisis you dont have to have special answers, nor do you need agreat deal of knowledge regarding academic psychology. What youreally need is: good common sense, a loving heart and knowing howto make just the right questions so that the person can look wherewe feel its worth it for them to look, so they can gain consciousnessand also be able to put what they observe into words.

In cases where the type of crisis that a person is going through

should require the intervention of specialized technical or chemicalmeans, the best thing to do is to refer the patient to thecorresponding therapist or therapy using what we call criteria.

Well before Sigmund Freud was born, and well before the advent ofthe endless number of scientists that have given birth to the humanmind, there already were people in whose company one felt thathis/her soul recovered its lost serenity. Like I have alreadymentioned, these people didnt necessarily have numerous degrees,nor were they Honor Student candidates, that memorized a whole

encyclopedia of pathologies. They probably were only simple humanbeings that were a little more aware and awake than others and hadtaken the time to observe their own internal conflicts. They probablywere willing to perceive through loving and intelligent listening all thesubtle, and not so subtle, dimensions that their visitors seemed toneed to express. In reality, the word therapist means companion.

A psychotherapist is a companion of souls. That is, they are theboatmen that accompany those beings during their journeys towardsthe other shore of life. A psychotherapist is also a subtle igniter of



16/21

16

expanded and deeper levels of consciousness. This may bring to mindthe image of a scuba diver doing immersions into the worlds ofcauses as they accompany a person that is in search of themselves,

in search of their lost serenity. This process usually goes throughphases of consciousness expansion, vision expansion and a greaterknowledge of oneself. All this which happens through the ability tosustain ones full attention and be aware.

Guidelines:

What is needed in order to help a human being is great common sense, a loving heart

and the ability to focus on powerful questions when it is most convenient. The maturity of the counselor can be seen in the degree of professional criteria that

he/she manifests.

Growth as a tool for healing

In the heart of the space where a session between counselor andpatient takes place, one soon realizes that the real cause of humansuffering is ignorance. Not the type of ignorance that comes from alack of information or lack of technical details, but the kind ofignorance that derives from the apparent stagnation in thecomprehensive growth of a person. We are referring to the type ofgrowth that, once it is re-activated, favors the appearance of naturalresources needed to update any potential that the patient possesses,as well as it aids them in the ability to successfully surfthe existentialwaves. Sometimes we say that when an acorn feels that it can neverturn into the oak tree that it is, it must feel pretty bad.

Albert Einstein pronounced these words that best describe the above

idea:

No problem can be resolved on the same level of consciousness that itwas created.

We realize that life spreads out along a sort of hierarchy or staircaseof levels of development. A couple of examples are, the relationbetween the primitive Cro-Magnon and the superior level of thecurrent Homo Sapiens, or on a different scale, the relation betweenthe level of the reptilian brain that evolved to the level of the actual



17/21

17

neocortical brain. Life spreads out in successive waves ofdevelopment that integrate and expand the previous level. Anexample of this can be seen in the levels of particles that, once

regrouped and integrated amongst themselves, become what we callan atom. Which, once regrouped and integrated amongst other atomsbecome a cell and which continuing up the scale and integratingamong themselves, become an organism. And if we go on with thisstandard of reflection we will come to the conclusion that a new levelof development releases the previous level from its problems,although in the future they will probably have to face problems thatcorrespond with this new level and dimension.

Carrying on with this example of the ladder of levels, if those peoplethat suffer from emotional dependency patterns in their loverelationships and that have to deal with problems related to controlissues, attachments, jealousy, manipulation, fear of abandonmentand anticipatory pathologies that are a consequence of theiraddictive need for their partners, they can either choose to fightagainst this dependency ( a lost battle in most cases) or they canplace their bet on personal growth and cultivation that will give themaccess to a higher level of consciousness: independence.

Most of the time its not necessary to stir up, over and over again,conflicts from the childhood in order to resolve many of the problemsor painful experiences of the past that haunt most human beings.Often all that is needed is to put the focus on finding a way toreinterpret past happenings and developing a more positive and lucidmental model.

Guidelines:

The real cause of human suffering is ignorance.

Often it isnt necessary to stir up childhood conflicts but to learn how to reinterpret

past happenings and integrate a more positive and lucid mental model.

To become aware transforms the observer and the observed, a conflictive process

that is steadily witnessed is its resolution.



18/21

18

Consciousness as a medicine

Transpersonal counseling puts special emphasis on thetransformational power of something as simple and yet so powerfulas can be becoming aware. It is well known that consciousness hasan enormous potential to transform, a type of transformation thattakes place not only in the observer but also in the observed. Notonly have mystics of all times postulated this, now the scientificcommunity attests this postulate with its progressive investigations in

the field of quantum physics.

We think that by solving the problems we will reachpeace,

When in reality it is when we embrace peace that theproblems dissolve.

On the psychological level, the mere act of witnessing or becomingaware of something, like for example, a certain type of behaviorpattern that tends to produce undesired actions, will open up themind to new possibilities and at the same time it will modify thoseautomatized elements and reactions entailed in the previous mentalstructure.

What happens is that there are many people who still associate theconcept of consciousness with something ambiguous, related toethics and morality and that has to with good and bad actions. Really,once you have become consciousness of something you have simplybecome aware of it. This kind of consciousness is without a doubt aneutral experience that goes beyond mental processes thatcorrespond to judgments and opinions.

So, in all our internal processes of conflict and pain there is certaindegree of unconsciousness or automatization- either due to havingburied the original cause or because they are consequence ofprocesses that we ignored at the time in which the corresponding



19/21

19

pattern was developed. These are patterns that, in order to bemodified, must be illuminated with consciousness along the differinglevels of deepness and discernment, depending on just how set in

and profound they are.

Guidelines:

The counselor that observes his/her own conflicts develops a better understanding

towards his/her patient.

The counselor is a companion of souls as well as a diving partner.

The absolute confidentiality of a counselor

Finally, we would like to stress that the name, sex, profession andcircumstances of the protagonists of the therapy study cases that areincluded in this course have been totally modified to preserve the realidentity of the person on which the study case has been based.

Confidentiality is one of the most unbreakable requirements that apsychotherapist must comply with. Not only out of respect for theirpatients privacy, but because when this kind of information becomesgossip material, the neutrality of the case gets intoxicated and itsemotional health may be damaged.

Discretion and a well placed lock on the files containing all thepatients personal information (information that isnt directly related

to the therapy in itself), is an ethical and professional must for everycounselor. This also provides the needed rest for the counselors egowhich, after having shared emotions and experiences, must go backto that impartial and quiet position from where respect,comprehension and silence are born.

Guidelines:

Rule Number 1:



20/21

20

Strict confidentiality and respect for the private life of the patient, without

exceptions.

A final word

This isnt a technical chapter that presents study cases of patients sothat the student in the classroom can begin a scientific investigationregarding therapeutic processes. We have purposely avoided all thatwhich has to do with the labels and diagnosis that some of ourpatients carry on their shoulders. It isnt because we consider themto be unimportant, its because as transpersonal counselors we try toavert our patients attention, and our own, when they say to us that

they are neurotic or suffer from bi-polar syndrome or any otherdiagnostic label... We look at the person with a wide angle lens andwith a type of gaze that goes beyond the person level and reachestheir essential identity. We feel that within the framework of thesession, support, self-knowing, love and consciousness shouldprogressively appear. Like the Chinese proverb says, perhapsreferring to that which in the West we call subconscious:

The doctor puts the bandage on the wounds, but it is God whoheals them.

If you feel that the energy that we have shared with you has updatedthe deep vocation you have to practice transpersonal counseling andyou feel capable of undoing the myth that one usually createsregarding how wonderful counselors and psychotherapists must be...and how chaotic and unprepared one feels about practicing as such-then continue ahead with the training to become a transpersonalcounselor with the Spanish School of Transpersonal Counseling andwe will talk extensively about all those myths. Maybe one day you

will be surprised to see how your dream becomes reality.

Nothing happens that wasnt first a dream.

Reflections for the counselor:

1. What parts of this text have resonated in a special way

with your vocation to serve others?

2. Name the basic pillars that, according to you, are the

foundations of transpersonal counseling.

3. Imagine a day in the future when you are a

transpersonal counselor and visualize that new path with

your creative mind. Try to recreate the emotional

atmosphere and the joyful sensations that are evoked in

you as you greet, attend and say good bye to your

patient.
