7	Usually The rational mind tends to discount the workings of inner consciousness. This does not impact the effectiveness of the work. In fact the presence of a discounting voice usually means that you are doing important inner work. Meanwhile inner-consciousness doesn’t want to work and evades you.

15	Overview for Leading Another
16	Set up for leading a meditation: How to ask and listen. Get descriptions; never ask or pursue why. Inner life: Does she pray, have spirit guides, have symbols, use a way of relaxing? Listen carefully to description (take notes) and lead meditation with same wording. Notice if descriptions are visual or kinesthetic. Find out what some of their positive points of reference: moments thrived, talents, loves, role models, when healthy, when made a difference, when received recognition. Ask how it felt. Vision: Ask what it would feel / look like if she could take a magic wand and make it the way she wanted?
17	Tips for Leading Use their language. Embellish — pay attention to your own inclinations and follow them. Use rhythm, repetition, rhyme, metaphor and work with breath. Don’t give long silences. To give time without losing focus, suggest that they sense the quality of energy present: the mood, feel, sounds and smells. Suggest that they fill in the scene with their imagination. Use redundancy to reinforce the positive. Talk as though a positive shift has already begun. Invite them to make a symbol for positive experience.
18	Symbols and metaphor are the language of inner awareness Breath is like waves washing granules of sand like every cell in you body is caressed by breath. Breath is like the breeze that clears the air. Send your breath up into your mind; let it clear you mind. Mind relaxes into its natural spaciousness, as open as the sky. Ground transforms making nutrients for new life. Water cleanses. Angling the light of awareness. Suggest breathe in to concentrate energy and breathe out to channel or release it. Glitter, music, hum, glow, vibrate with the energy of positive vision. Step into vision, feel what it’s like as though it’s happening right now--embody it.
19	Reclaiming Wholeness Make symbol of positive point of reference/healing energy. Suggest that it’s like a flashlight; and to shine its energy into constriction. Use transformation metaphors: breath, fire, release into ground … Make tentative suggestions for healing: “Maybe … Or possibly…” Personify conflicting voices. Ask, “How they feel about one another?” Suggest all parts are needed. Ask, “What gift does each part offer?” Ask, “What needs do they each have?” Suggest negotiation as needed and to make agreements. Then suggest imagining carrying out agreements. Invite specifics (when, frequency, etc.)
20	Common Mistakes Don’t use problem referencing instead use neutral language: concerns, challenges. Don’t ask why questions. They engage the rational mind. Don’t ask a question that requires a binary yes/no answer. Don’t go after emotional response as reflection of transformation. Don’t suggest solutions or give advice. Don’t give up guidance because they will lose focus. Don’t give too much time. Inner-consciousness is simultaneous; if give a lot of time they’ll just space out.
