Intuition, self-care, and spiritual care

Introduction to me, to this course, why I've created it, and what you will be able to do by completion.

How to best use this course in order to maximise results in your life!

Before we get to cultivating intuition, and before we get to overwhelm and self-care, we need to accept how profound it can be to care for others! In this section, students will learn why they must accept that there is something profound and inexplicable happening in our work, and how vital it is NOT to be afraid or superstitious. After this lecture, you will have understanding on how to go forward with confidence and curiosity!

Understand the scientific explanation for, and proof of, intuition, as well as the spiritual or psychic reasoning behind it. Science says it does exist! But it's only from a more spiritual view that we can understand the reason for it, and thus know how to cultivate it.

Information, tools, and an exercise to get you understanding YOUR intuition and cultivating it.

This is NOT REQUIRED material in order to learn the skills of this course, but this information is foundational, and helps you understand why my approach is how it is. This is an introduction to the science of the heart, beginning with understanding the body's 3 brains (head, heart, gut) and how they operate.

Again, NOT REQUIRED material in order to learn the skills of this course, but hugely helpful in understanding why my approach is what it is. In this video, I go over the history of scientific research on the heart proves that it not only has a big role to play in regulating the entire body, but also that it is connected to a greater field of information and input. You intuition is a direct result of your heart's ability to connect to, and gain information from that field.

Heart breathing is the first step in the practicality of developing your intuition. Learn how to do it in this lecture!

Learn a powerful heart-centred meditation that will help you cultivate intuition. This meditation is the FOUNDATION for the exercises that come after.

How to cultivate a deep presence in order to deepen your intuition, and why this is important. Two exercises are suggested and explained in this lecture.

Feeling overwhelmed, overworked, stressed and emotional when you are caring for others? Is your work life a crazy roster with constant crises? Or maybe your life is a slow accumulation of stresses that come from extending your heart and caring to make others better. Well, before we dive into learning how to identify your emotions and MEET your OWN needs well, we need to understand how 'blocks' arise, what to look for, and how to cope!

Learn how to identify your own emotions; locate them in your body; recognise their message; and deal with negative emotion and stress on the JOB, in the moment, so that you can carry on functioning and offering care.

Learn about 'inner child' work, why it's important, and how to create an ongoing and regular programme for your self-care. Understand the importance of ritual, and take on board multiple suggestions for caring so well for yourself regularly, that your daily experience of emotion and stress is -- if not greatly reduced-- henceforth is quicker to resolve!

Healing yourself via self-care actually will have a flow on effect of healing others. Here's why with a powerful exercise to make it happen in your life!

This section gives you tips and support for dealing with sticky issues: from experiencing fear, panic, anxiety, or depression, to power struggles with colleagues, or even experiencing competing beliefs about how best to serve your clients and patients (when your intuition is different!)

What is spiritual care, why do we do it, and how can we offer it? This foundational lecture introduces the importance of it.

How to offer spiritual care through doing ('opening the conversation') versus through being (just with presence and heart-centredness).

An important foundational aspect of offering spiritual care lies in understanding a bit about trauma, how people react, and how you can be present and understand what is happening in order to offer care more effectively.

This section offers a supplementary approach that you can use with your current professional techniques and protocols. From the point of view of being heart-centred, and building on the intuition and self-care sections, I offer suggestions for offering effective spiritual care in certain commons areas of difficulty.

An exercise in observation that shows you the power of your learnings so far.

In this section I explain what medical intuition is, when it's appropriate, how to use it, and techniques for getting your intuition flowing in this regard.

Healing can happen from heart-centred presence, or from hands on and hands off channelled healing energy. In this section I discuss the differences and also explain how to do each unobtrusively in a care environment, as a supplementary skill in your work.

In this introduction to chakras and energy centres I give an overview of chakras and energy bodies as a way to empower you to have MORE information and tools at your disposal in the right context. Then I explain common scenarios in which it is useful to know this, and give you techniques for how to use this information in your intuitive work.

You are not alone, and now are able to cultivate a connection to a helper or guide to gain extra protection and assistance. I explain the concept, and lead you through a meditation exercise in order to meet your helper.
