The Mind Matters

A Warm cosy fire, for those cold Winter day's. 

     Psychotherapist's Prayer 

• I Am empty and able to receive
• I Am still and prepared to be entirely with you.
• I Am without need of  " success" and am content with what may come.
• I Am able to hear your words directly as my mind is clear and silent.
• I Am empty of diagnostic criteria and technique.
• I Am attentive to that which you are, your sigh, your posture, the tenseness in your lips, your laughter and the moistness within your eyes.
• I Am able to feel.
• I Am neither anxious, for you or for me.. I can let it just be.
• I Am able to see your goodness, however distant such goodness may feel to you.
• I Am greatful for what you bring to this hour, this hour which will never occur again.
• I Am open, still, empty and able to be.
