Stress Factors

"There are studies that say that the number one risk factor for premature death from cardiovascular disease is hostility and resentment and what is called cynical mistrust."  ~  Deepak Chopra

CompassionWorks is focused on providing you with the ability to lower your stress, anxiety and depression, which can result in the ability to make better decisions and an increased capacity for compassion and trust.

We believe in using proven innovations, being creative and in getting great results.

Our therapy includes using the Western disciplines of EMDR and cognitive-behavioral therapy, two of the most scientifically studied and verified counseling technologies available, combined with teachings from nondual wisdom.

CompassionWorks has developed a counseling method that helps get the freedom and power that comes from living in the present moment. 

Some ways to get started right now are:

  • Mindfulness - Shift your attention of your ongoing experience to being in the present moment and become 'The Watcher' of your thoughts and feelings.

  • Focusing - Tune into the feelings in your body without trying to push them away.  Allow them to appear as they are, and if they are uncomfortable, allow that.

  • Read "The Power of Now" and read and start doing "The Presence Process".  This will help you become actively involved in creating a better life for yourself and those around you. 

  • Read What is EMDR? or watch How EMDR Works because EMDR is a proven technology that really works to relieve depression, anxiety and stress.   In addition, it helps to know how EMDR works.   

  • Start seeing anything that happens in your life that seems negative as a 'messenger' that is bringing you an opportunity to grow, especially as you learn to 'feel' it.  That doesn't mean you won't feel uncomfortable, as part of learning to feel 'good' is learning to feel 'everything.'

  • Take the next step...

How to Live 'No Me' - Dialogue with Ramesam

Ramesam

More with Ramesma can be found at his blog:  Beyond Advaita

The following is from an email exchange with Ramesam after doing our second conversation video.

Jordan: Ramesam, what you told me the other day, shifted me from thinking there is no 'suffering', which is what I've been focused on, to seeing that there is no 'sufferer' - something I'm still pondering. All along, I've been seeing it as a 'me' having a dream, and therefore trying to see everything in the world (in what's 'real/not-real') as a dream; whereas, in 'reality', as you explained, there is no 'me' either dreaming or not dreaming, which is where the focus needs to be in the first place. No?

Ramesam: No 'me': It is correct. The final message of Non-duality is there is no real 'me' as an experiencer experiencing things which are out there. The 'me' we carve out for ourselves with some boundaries (including a body) is illusory, purely an imaginary entity.
