Why Support? Do We Need It?
... Why aren't we living that potential?
... Astrology can tell us exactly Why
as well as providing the Template
for our Unique Purpose
Success in any area of life depends on self-confidence. Belief in our own abilities; and, most importantly, belief in our capacity to influence the lives of others for the better—this is the vital key.
Spiritual values are not always supported in Western culture. Yet, these are the values that give meaning to our lives. The Tibetans refer to our self-doubt, and lack of confidence in our own purpose and spiritual nature, as a 'mental disease'! And indeed, the depression that follows after our setbacks, or confrontations with fear-barriers, is certainly a mental dis-ease. To follow a unique path in life, which is our birth-right, may at times require some outside assistance, and from a variety of sources.
The Bodhimind Support Program™ offers a practical ongoing guide through the maze of the unconscious levels of mind, so that your fullest potential—Professionally, Personally (within all relationships), and Spiritually—may be realised.
Receiving ongoing support from a guide who has a degree of expertise in a certain aspect of life which can be useful to you, personally, can advance your life exponentially. Learning from others' mistakes, successes, and innovations is the intelligent way to live and succeed, especially when the guide is enthusiastic about assisting you to become your own master.
For two-and-a-half decades, my work has specialised in supporting those who's aim is higher than material status and "winning" over a competitor (in life or business); and who would prefer to offer a legacy of a life lived with PURPOSE, VALUE and COMPASSION for the betterment of others, regardless of how few or how many.
It is of great advantage to appreciate (in a positive manner) that this path will necessarily generate many obstacles along the way. These obstacles mature us spiritually and develop our capacity for Greatness.
Through clinical research of the past 24 years, my observations have revealed that the most insidious of obstacles arises from our own self-sabotaging thought-forms from the deepest unconscious mind. These can be elaborated astrologically through two Transneptunian Points (particularly Hades and Admetos) in the birth chart, and with the qualifying addition of many relevant asteroids.
This effect has nothing to do with intelligence, apart from the observed fact that the more intelligent we are, the more intelligent is the sabotage! This is not dissimilar to playing chess with oneself! And we need to be at least three steps ahead in the game at all times to avoid an all-defeating check-mate.
This type of consistent sabotage can affect the way we layout and compose advertisements, or neglect to brand ourselves adequately; or when we take on business partners when our personal challenge is to work alone; or when we habitually work alone when our challenge is to take on partners or work in a team... Personal self-sabotage can also have devastating effects on our close relationships, leaving us bewildered as to what went wrong!
Mindfulness is the developmental key to avoiding these errors, once we have recognised the patterns. Though, these stubborn thought-forms in the psyche may be so entrenched, after lifetimes of reaffirming what are actually false concepts, that we can easily become blinded to our own sabotaging efforts as they are occurring.
An experienced guide along the way, carrying the Guidemap of your own Astrological Birth-Chart, can be highly useful at these times.
The Process & Value: Follow-Ups Vs Your Own Program
The difference between booking a casual Follow-Up Session, still highly beneficial, and booking for the Bodhimind Support Program™, is in your commitment to Change.
Booking regular sessions, even if only 15-minute check-ins, can be highly useful to keep you on-track with your goals. This is entirely up to you and your present needs. Once you have had an Initial Session, the Bodhimind Support Program™ is open to you at any time in the future. But don't delay if you need support!
Booking the Body-Mind Support Program:
- As an optional-extra service after an Initial Session, for regular practical follow-ups on the suggestions, direction, and personal potential discussed within our Initial or previous astrological session;
- Intentionally booked from the outset as a complete, open-ended (and obligation-free) program. We can arrange regular (always flexible with notice) update sessions, with priority assistance for emergency sessions
VALUE: Your astrology chart is unique to you alone. Your subconscious and deepest unconscious imprints and concepts can be recognised quickly and turned to advantage through the skillful use of astrological knowledge.
As the Hades and Admetos self-sabotage imprints in the psyche become clearly evident through the process of Astrology, ongoing Bodhimind Sessions can be of enormous value in avoiding the subtle pitfalls in the way of success in business/career or relationships, or for your spiritual developement in general.
An Initial Session of one hour (minimum), or preferably 90 minutes (or up to 2 hours) can begin the process as the personal astrology chart is explored in dialogue for clarification of your finer qualities and life purpose, plus the karmic imprints that may need to be corrected and utilised as areas of expertise that relate to the overall life plan. (Please bear in mind, my single client sessions in the '90s used to run for 8 to 10 straight hours! Astrology provides a wealth of information!)
This process can also be used effectively for resolving ongoing relationship sabotage, covering specific challenges and opportunties for self-development.
Astrology also provides valuable information on the timing of events, both in hindsight for clarity, and foresight for opportunity.
The various levels of the psyche/brain in which you may be operating, during specific types of challenges, can be ascertained through Personal Astrological knowledge. For example, it is vital to be aware of these levels in your decision-making processes, such as when basing decisions on:
- a personally specific, yet unconscious survival pattern from recent lifetimes
- specific past-life habit patterns arising from emotional reactivity
- a completely insidious and personally specific conceptual terror (which has us doing all the WRONG things for all the RIGHT reasons!)
- an ancient, well-hidden relationship-sabotage, being an unconscious personal concept regarding grief bundled with responsibility & guilt
- an unbalanced view with too much reliance on the logical rather than intuitive mind (and vice versa)
- the value systems of others, throwing our higher purpose into chaos, while later generating regret, instead of clearly defining our own values at the outset
- losing sight of our genuine altruistic goals for this life: reaffirming and keeping our life on track is vital
For more than a decade during my earlier life as a young yet influential employee (often being dubbed "the Conscience of the Company"!), I had assisted a number of start-up businesses to grow ethically into financially successful ventures.
During the two decades since that time, I have used this same approach of fostering Ethics, Morality, and Innovation within the sessions for my Astrology clients and students, emphasising both career and relationship dynamics. This approach fully utilises the 'cause and effect' principle described in Sanskrit within Buddhist teachings as karma: the action derived from our mind-&-brain conditioning.
Results are always a product of their causes.
I believe that our present 16-year era of Pluto in Capricorn (since January 2008), is The Time for ethical responsibility, commitment, and the achievement of long-term goals.
Astrology is a superb device for understanding our highest and unique potential, inner processes, and karmic habituations. Therefore, people at this time may require more ongoing assistance with each step in the evolution of their life, career, or relationships. This is the underlying purpose of the Bodhimind Support Program™.
The Tools
My astrological research has focused largely on the mara of 'self-sabotage' as it stifles our attempts to fulfill our life purpose. Though, this does not limit my work simply to uncovering this thought-form in the psyche. My research can also be highly useful in assisting any area of life to prevent the Hades or Admetos concepts from operating at a negative level. Therefore, my services may also include:
- Feng Shui advice, aligned with your personal/business astrology chart, for home and/or office, to eliminate the chances of self-sabotage from the imagery, cultural styles, and colours in your environment—this may include even the symbolic placement of objects on your desk;
- personalised design tips (including colour resonances in harmony with your birth chart) for advertisements, business cards, and/or your website (your artwork can be emailed to me or sent via Skype for my suggestions and reality-check on contents), to enhance the work of your design team;
- promotional ideas and discussions, based on your astrological advantages;
- editing of important documents (applications, resumés, letters, etc.) to avoid subtle sabotage and to align with your highest possible outcome;
-
creating ethical solutions and ethical boundaries based on spiritual virtues and this life's personal challenges evident from the astrology chart
;
- additional sessions by the hour OR in 15-minute increments, at an interval of your choosing, to assist with progress reports and problem solving;
- assistance with immediate, specific Hades/Admetos challenges, to keep you bouyant and on-track and in your highest power;
- a quick 15-minute relevant and inspirational pep talk by phone can also keep things moving for you during the darker moments. We all need reminding from time to time!;
-
and, of course, optional extra support from flower essence formulas , assisting with each new tier of development.
In this way, my services can be of greater assistance throughout these demanding times. (For many years, I offered single sessions of 8 to 10 hours at a time! My present age and your current busy lifestyle have now negated this possibility!
However, after the first one-hour (minimum) session, there is no obligation to engage in any further dialogues with me. The process is completely at your own discretion for your own requirements. Though please be mindful that one-hour is not going to reveal everything your chart can tell you about your life-path—one hour is purely an Introduction.
While I may provide specialised guidance in navigating the Hades, Admetos, and Vertex subtleties within your chart, the emphasis is still on you to become your own Master through the practice of Mindfulness in these areas. However, we can still work through these challenges together over time, as support is highly beneficial, especially with Hades issues.
Fee Structure & Practical Details
The Bodhimind Support Program™ services, including Yogacara Astrology, are available with me as single or ongoing consultations via these formats:
- in person;
- or via internet voice call (Skype, etc);
- or by phone (Skype to your landline);
- or by email for brief follow-ups
Personal astrology sessions are generally available for times between 9:30am and 5pm, Monday to Friday, and some weekends, and including selected public holidays.
Also, phone and internet voice-call sessions may be available on occasion during early evenings when time-zone differences make Australian east coast business hours inconvenient for interstate or overseas clients.
(Please phone or email if you have special requirements.)
- Single sessions are of a minimum 15 minutes' duration, and a maximum of 2 hours if by phone or internet call;
- 'In person' sessions may extend to a number of hours as required at the regular rates.
- Charges are in 15-minute increments, and may include a Chart Research Fee when required—especially for Initial Sessions. (Please also be aware that internet calls may involve fee charges to your ISP
Booking a Session
The Booking Form has been designed to assist with the necessary research of your birth-chart, and to define the purpose and focus of the session. This is a new online version that can be submitted instantly, preferably at least several days prior to our appointment time.
Some of the latter questions are optional. The Contact Information and Birth Details are obviously necessary.
No payments are to be made before a definite appointment has been booked.
After receiving your Booking Form, I will email you to arrange a booking date and time and to confirm the booking.
You can contact me anytime if you require more information. See the Contact Details page on this site for my email addresses and my mobile phone number
Please note, sending the Online Booking Form is necessary to begin the booking process.
All submissions from the Booking Form are treated absolutely confidentially.
Fees
- Generally, the "in-consultation" fee is AU$100/hour.
- Your first appointment will usually involve an extra Research Fee of AU$100 to help cover more background research of your, or your business's, birth-chart prior to the session—in some cases, research may take an entire day! (For the Bodhimind Support Program™, this is usually a one-time-only extra fee unless a new area needs to be researched extensively in the future).
- The Initial Session will usually require a minimum of one hour for your benefit.
Therefore, examples of fees for an Initial Session would be:
- 1-hour Initial Session: AU$200
- 90-minute Initial Session: AU$250
(1 hour @ AU$100 + 30 minutes @ AU$50 + AU$100 basic chart Research Fee) - 2-hour Initial Session: AU$300
(2 hours @ AU$100/hour + AU$100 basic chart Research Fee)
Follow-up consultations that do not require a great deal of further astrological investigation remain at AU$25/15-minute increments (AU$100/hour).
Any postage fees for CD recordings (as mp3 files) and flower essences, if required, or any other expenses (such as my travel expenses for a type of Feng Shui consultation that may require a physically present visit), would be added to the above figures and agreed upon by both of us before commencement. (Please note: Skype file transfers or dropbox.com online access to recordings are available.)
Obviously, if you are a previous or current client, you may avail yourself of this service without needing a 1-hour Session, if a brief session, or series of brief sessions, is all that you require.
This choice is completely reliant on your immediate needs, as I would have already analysed the Hades, Admetos, and Vertex issues in your birth chart during the original session.
PLEASE NOTE: There may be times when extra research becomes necessary. All fees are agreed upon before the session.
Payments
Various payment options and a link to Paymate Express services for credit or debit card transactions can be found on the Payments page of this site. For convenience, Paymate Express payment buttons also appear on the left sidebar of all other pages of this site.
The Deposit fee (generally AU$100) is non-refundable for cancellations within 4 days before the session date.
All balances are to be paid immediately following the session. (If preferred, credit/debit card payments will still be available after personally present non-internet sessions, via my laptop's internet connection.)
Recording the Sessions
An Mp3 audio recording is made of each 1-hour minimum Astrology session while in progress via computer software.
The mp3 audio file can be sent to your Skype account;
Or accessed by you online via Dropbox.com if you have downloaded the software for file sharing.
(The size of an mp3 audio file of 1-hour duration is around 60 MB).
Alternatively, audio mp3 CDs can be burned and mailed to you (Airmail to destinations outside Australia, incurring an extra fee).
RedgateFengShui sessions are not recorded, as a written Recommendations Report will be emailed to you as a .pdf file after the consultation(s).
Notes
For information on the current 16-year era of Pluto in Capricorn, see my published Insight Magazine article Cult or Consciousness: A Global Ultimatum, in pdf format on this site, courtesy of Insight Magazine (please be aware, it is a large file: 1.3 MB, due to the beautiful graphic provided in the published 4-page article, as it appears here.
A smaller 35 KB text-only pdf version is also available). For contrast, my blog article, The Lament of the Therapists of Change discusses the effects of a previous era when Pluto was in Scorpio, and can be found on my Blog site, www.kerrie-redgate.com/blog
White Umbrella image (above): detail from a Tibetan thangka of Ushnisha Sitatapatra, the "White Umbrella Goddess". She is a powerful semi-wrathful Deity who offers protection from all dangers, including our own maras (unconscious self-sabotaging habits). She is little known in the West, but I have felt a compelling link with Her meditation practices, from perhaps a deeper past. See more cameos from the same Tibetan thangka on my Forthcoming Book page. For a brief discussion on Tibetan Deities, see my Blog article Reiki and the Medicine Buddha Mystery.
'Conscience' Astrology Reference: The asteroid Conscience is on my Midheaven and trining my Kronos! Fits nicely with my Capricorn Ascendant.
