Rahasya, you wrote an article in Living energies about counselling. Now I would like to ask you to say a little bit more about counselling. Generally Counselling is not so familiar in Japan, people do not know so much what it is. They know about Freud, Jung, Gestalt Therapy and the more analytical approach, which is being taught at the University. But your way of counselling is quite different. Also the Aura-Soma Color Therapy works in a different way. So I would like people to get a clearer idea of what the essence is of counselling for Aura-Soma. How can healing happen with counselling? It seems that in Europe the status of a counsellor is quite respected, almost like a doctor, whereas in Japan some people practice as counsellors mostly at the University. Usually only people who feel psychologically sick go to the counsellor, and they seek a sort of therapy. But what you are doing is addressing healthy people, confronting them with themselves and helping them to look inside? Can you please explain?

Every living being in existence, be it a plant, an animal or a human being, is born with a potential, and has the longing, the urge, the drive to fulfill its potential, to live itself.

For a flower this means to become this specific flower It means for the seed to die, to take the challenges of a vulnerable sprout to find its way through the earth into the sun, to take the challenges of the weather and to finally explode into its flowering. Reaching the fulfillment of this potential is not guaranteed. Any time there is a possibility for the sprout to die, to be uprooted by wind, floods, drought or other catastrophes. Nevertheless the desire, the longing and the urge of every living being is, to discover these intrinsic qualities that want to be lived and shared in existence.

Aura-Soma is such a beautiful healing system, that just being in the presence of the Balance Bottles gives one a feeling of relief, joy and light. More and more sensitive people get enchanted and magnetized by this rainbow of colors and light, and they start the journey of the Aura-Soma education, participating in the Aura-Soma Foundation- , Intermediate- and Advanced course. But perhaps many of the Aura-Soma Students never before had the opportunity to share their insights and wisdom with other people or, later, with clients who come for an Aura-Soma Consultation. Suddenly they become practitioners and healers with Aura-Soma Color Therapy as a vehicle, and they encounter people may be in need of healing, of support and of guidance. The young Aura-Soma Practitioner may feel insecure how to respond to a client's issue. He/She may feel helpless when the client gets upset or goes into a deep emotional response during an Aura-Soma reading. Some clients may not understand or have a reaction to the practitioner's consultation and create a "difficult client" situation. In these moments the practitioner needs to be familiar and confident with the art of being with people. The presence and love of the healer, the personal contact between the healer and the client, the atmosphere of trust, and the art of communication are crucial for a successful session.
