Dream Work & Focusing

Research shows that a dream work approach to trauma recovery is as effective as psychotherapy and has less cultural bias barriers.

Aside from trauma recovery, experiential embodied dream work (a practice rooted in somatic psychology) carries a dreamer through their dream story slowly enough to review the sensations and emotions in detail. Innate, body-felt knowing about the dream material comes to be a source of wisdom, understanding, authenticity, and creative potential for the dreamer.

There is a strong correlation between nightmare frequency/intensity and suicidal tendencies. Nightmares, while terrifying, also yield material which invites the body to metabolize trauma or recognize messages from inner wisdom. Focusing-oriented dream work facilitates this process of discovery.

Focusing is the waking equivalent of experiential embodied dream work. It is a guided process in which a person may explore the implicit experiences underlying outer-world life by pausing amidst the recall of the material and taking in body-felt responses to it. This focusing creates new understandings and felt shifts in how the person relates to the outer dynamics.

Testimonial: Kiran has been guiding me with my dreams for the past year. I have always had such vivid and profound dreams and could never make sense of them. Working with her has transformed my life. I am now able to use my dreams as resources, spiritual totems, and quantum manifestations. Kiran has helped me weave the dream world into my waking reality in such a profound and meaningful way.

Testimonial: Kiran’s dream work with me was a profoundly impactful experience. She guided me through unpacking my dream by tapping my inner wisdom with thoughtful and well-timed questions. In a very condensed amount of time, Kiran helped me uncover an old myth about myself, heal an old wound, and reveal an insight with a key metaphor for the book I’m writing on conscious leadership. I highly recommend Kiran and her expertise in dream work.

1 /Ceremony Pre- and Post- Coaching

Notice and attend to what is present in the body/mind/spirit and become aware of stirrings needing support in preparation for an upcoming shamanic ceremony.

Integration: Slowly review what occurred during a shamanic ceremony with a view to capturing innate, body-felt moments of clarity. Then, explore the possibilities of how to articulate and crystalize those experiences to shift and expand daily life, or to create/revise artistic work.

Seasonal changes. Solar/lunar phase observations.

3 / Drum Journeying

Enter a flexible interval of journeying to support creative work, dream work, trauma resolution, or quantum field work.

Quantum Structure

"Quantum" has to do with the quantity of something. A quantity of focused energy that has a strong positive emotional quality brings about a better outcome than before. Learn to apply wisdom and visions gained through dream work, Focusing, or shamanic journeying to producing outcome in a different way from goal setting and climbing steps of socially normal ladders.
