What We Do In the Mentorship……….

People are often curious about the Mentorship Programs that I have created so thought I would share about them today.

The Mentorship Program grew out of the desire of my students for “more”.  I had several students who had taken all of the classes I was offering at that time and they said, “Now what?”  ” We want more!!”

I had known for  quite some time that I had more material to share but was not sure of the best format to teach it in.

One day it all just came together.

The road well traveled

The first two years, the program was a 14 month commitment and I had 2 groups of 8 students each year.  Quite admirable that people were willing to commit to such a length of time!

I had started thinking that it would be a 1 year Mentorship but after year one  some of the students said, “We are not done.  We want MORE!”  And so I re created it into a 7 Month Program for Level I and a 9 Month Program for Level II.  Of course, after 2 years, the students said, “No, we want MORE.”  And then after year 3, students said, “NO, we want  more!”  So I am currently working with students in their 4th year of the Mentorship!

You might be thinking, “How much can there be to learn???”

We are in a life time of learning about ourselves, how we interface with each other and the world around us.  We are  in a world that offers us blessings and challenges.  In the Mentorship Program many tools are taught and refined again and again to help us move through life with greater ease and grace.

Why do students join?

Students join the Mentorship after realizing that the 7 week Chakra Class and/or the 6 Week Beliefs Class was a beginning point.  They are hungry to continue what they begin to experience there.

Students come in to clear some of their emotional baggage. …old limiting beliefs that  create blockages and obstacles in their lives.

Level I spends 7 months in helping the students develop a very strong and solid Daily Practice of self reflection and inner study.

In Level II we deepen into uncovering and shifting out of limiting beliefs.

Level III is 9 months of studying the Law Of Attraction along with other energetic principles

Level IV is a 9 month study of the Yamas and Niyamas of Yoga.

Following is an excerpt of a note I sent to my Level II/III Group on Tuesday………

“People sometimes say to me, “Gosh, are you STILL working on yourself/issues?” or “How long will it take for me to get through my stuff?”

As if we could approach ourselves like erasing a black board and it is complete!

As you know, LIFE continues to happen. We are here to experience and learn. To grow and to share, to love and to laugh, to lose and to gain to feel joy and to feel pain. All of it.

This practice that I teach does not stop Life. But it helps us to live with a greater sense of understanding on how to navigate the waters. It helps us to move forward with grace and courage. It helps us to have compassion for ourselves when we are in tough moments. It helps us drop the judgement and know we are just learning.

Thank you for walking this walk with me. In the days of joy and the days of sorrow we walk on. Side by side, arm in arm.”

I have the utmost respect for all of my students.  Those who have walked alongside me in the Mentorship groups are indeed brave, courageous, beautiful women.  I see their lights shining brighter and brighter.  I see them becoming more comfortable in their own skins and in their own lives.  They inspire me and keep me honest in my own life and work.  I am so fortunate to have this opportunity.

If you have more questions, drop me a note.  If you are a student, drop a note to share what your experience has been.

My deepest love, melaniej
