Background
Greetings Dreamers and Sojourners:
On my own journey, I have experienced many transitions.
The first included a career as a traditional psychotherapist.
For 4 years, I worked as a crisis counselor at residential
treatment centers serving troubled adolescents and their families.
I loved my clients, but the work was demanding and intense.
When I began experiencing symptoms of "burn-out", I
decided to focus on prevention rather than crisis intervention. (They
say you teach best what you need to learn). That decision led to
my creating and facilitating Stress Reduction and Life Enrichment Workshops and,
eventually, a new career direction--academia.
I discovered how much I loved teaching and began another
rewarding career as a psychology professor. During that time, I
broadened my knowledge about the unconscious mind and earned a
doctorate in Clinical Hypnotherapy. My interest in
states of consciousness expanded (excuse the pun), and my students began
exploring sleep dreams and their powerful, hidden messages.
Approximately 10 years later, after being promoted to a senior
professor position, I began experiencing what author, Sarah Ban
Breathnach, describes as Divine Discontent. Although I had
achieved considerable professional success, I felt stuck in my
life and felt the joy and passion ebbing from my daily activities.
A call to do something more beckoned...but what?
A simple flier arrived in the mail one day and proved life-changing.
It announced the first Certified Spiritual
Counselor program, offered by noted author and
metaphysical psychologist, Doreen Virtue, Ph.D. Despite my
reservations, and there were plenty-- time, money, energy,
commitment, practicality--I followed my heart's desire to bring
more of the sacred into my daily living and to deepen my connection
with Universal wisdom.
As I began to listen to my inner guidance, I started receiving information regarding my
next career step. As my passion for dream work grew
stronger, the small, still voice within me grew louder,
repeating over and over: "Trust...take a leap
of faith...let go...and the new form will come."
Despite the deafening fears that were also vying
for my attention, I ended my inner struggle by releasing my
full-time teaching position and choosing to "follow my
bliss" (Joseph Campbell must be smiling broadly now).
Amazingly, the right people at just the right
time began showing up in my life to support me on my journey
(and continue to do so). Today, JourneyofYourDreams.Com,
and its mission to provide integrated
mind/body/spirit services for a happier,
healthier, and abundant life, is a reality!
Trusting in My Life's Dream, and the Power that gifted me with
it, has been very much like driving a car at night. The headlights
only illuminate several feet of the road ahead; and, at times,
there are unexpected curves, bumps, and detours. However as I continue down the road,
I always arrive--safely and joyfully--HOME.
Thank you for joining me on the Journey.
Sweet Dreams!
Marjorie Miles
