Brian Madigan, Life Path Mentor, Sparking Personal Growth
Ongoing Development and Growth
Change is part of all of our lives. Managing change and getting what you want out of it is a life-long challenge for all of us.
Getting the support you need to handle those changes can be the hardest part. Our friends love us just the way we are. Our partners may be afraid -- as we are -- of where the changes might lead. It’s important to reach out to loved ones as you grow, but having someone with perspective is critical. Brian offers an impartial source of ongoing support, guidance and sometimes just a shoulder to lean on.
After you’ve received your Life Path reading, you may decide to work with Brian as your Life Path Mentor. There is no set commitment of how long, or how often you work together. Most clients visit once a month to get a Current reading.
The Current reading begins with a chat with Brian about your life, your progress, and obstacles. Brian will say a prayer and begin the reading.
The first piece of information reveals the energies flowing around you currently and for the next month. Think of this as the branch of your Life Path that is right ahead of you. What aspects of yourself need exploring? What discoveries can you uncover this month? How should you go about living day to day; is it a time for action or reflection? All of these questions are answered as you explore the primary energies.
Growth through Alignment
You then find out if you are “on path”, that is, getting the most you can from your situation. Are you making the most of the energies available to you right now?
If the answer is yes, great! How do you maximize the benefit, both practically and spiritually? For some, it’s an invitation to accelerate growth, for those who are less driven, it can be taken as a gentle, “keep going.”
If the answer is no, that’s fine too. You can discuss how to get back on track. You’ll decide how to work and flow better with the energies at hand.
Growth through Focus
In the Ifa tradition, there are six areas of focus in our lives: health, relationships, family and ancestors, spirit and destiny, success, and challenges. While we have to take care of all of them, the reading gives direction on where to focus your energy.
People are often surprised by what the reading will ask them to focus on. They’re even more surprised at the results. Suddenly, unexpected answers appear, advancing the area of their life they are most concerned about. Clearing up a problem at home, for example, seems to get their career back on track.
Growth through Action
The last phase is deciding on your next steps. There will likely be a spiritual or creative component for you to explore. Depending on what your Current reading has revealed, it may be something simple and tranquil, like reconnecting with nature. Sometimes you may need to get more playful with a neglected hobby.
There is a practical component as well. It may be committing to having a difficult discussion, or taking care of unfinished business. The point is to advance your life, not just spiritually but in the real world, to make lasting, sustained change.
Whatever you decide to do next, remember that you are always at choice. You decide the value and wisdom of what you’ve heard. You choose the next step, always owning it. Whatever you choose, there’s no judgment, no “should haves.” Brian offers support in helping you find your own way to happiness. And it is rarely a straight line.
Sometimes growth leads to action, and sometimes action leads to growth.
