Overview of Holistic Renewal

Holistic Renewal:

The Elgin Process of Creative Self-Mastery

If you want your life to work for you, then make the acquaintance of your Real Self!

Holistic Renewal is a powerful process for self-discovery and healing. It integrates body, mind, and spirit. It is your key to becoming ever-creative and joyous.

Many have used it to resolve a personal crisis, to overcome health problems, to unblock a relationship, or to break out of career stuckness.

Discover Your Real Self

"My Real Self? What's that?" you may be wondering. "Where do I look for it?" Your Real Self, it turns out, is just what it sounds like: your real self. And it is as close to you as can be. Still, to actually make its acquaintance may take some doing.

What it will take is for you to look long and close at your own process. The principles and techniques of Holistic Renewal make it possible for you to look — long and close — and to actually see what is there. An openness to change is essential. An expert guide is practically a must.

Holistic Renewal leads you on a search for patterns in the particulars of your existence:
    Your body: What are its strengths, its vulnerabilities, its ways of coping? How are        the energies balanced?
    Your mind and your feelings: What are your buried traumas, your unmet needs,        your habits, your delights, your hopes, your dreams?
    Your spirit: What does your soul yearn to express?
    Your physical environment: How does it enhance your efforts? How does it              hinder them?
     Your social environment: How do friends and loved ones, family and community,       fit into the picture?

The pyramid below reflects the totality of your existence in its four basic aspects.

Discover Your Theme

The glaciers of bygone ages have left indelible tracks upon the landscape we encounter today. Just so, our early experiences shape the patterns of our current attitudes and behaviors. As children we absorb, without even realizing it, the attitudes, beliefs, and values passed on by family and by society. We become extensions of our parents and of our circumstances. In the process, we can get stuck many ways:
—fear of success/failure
—live to work/all stressed out
—power strugglesold anger, resentments
—perfectionism
—fear of intimacy
—play to please
—"food is love"/filling the void.

Perhaps, because of some event or circumstance long ago you got stuck playing somebody else's tune — putting on a good performance while literally dying inside.

Holistic Renewal helps you to recognize your stuckness, whatever form it may take, and to approach it with openness, and with compassion. You begin to see yourself anew.

As your patterns begin to emerge, they eventually coalesce into a single overall theme, perhaps with a sub-theme or two. Your expert guide helps you to overcome all doubt, resistance, or hesitance, even helping you to see how such difficulties point the way to the very theme you seek.

Once you discover your own unique theme, you begin to make sense of all the wayward and seemingly pointless patterns and circumstances of your existence. Finding this theme brings a new energy, a new power to follow your bliss.

Your guide helps you to clarify your goals, to achieve them within your own specific situation, and to overcome any obstacles you encounter on the way. You learn to deal with internal dynamics, such as resistance and conflicting intentions, as well as external circumstances, such as relationships, time, and money.

Once you truly understand your unique theme, you can find your true path. You can harmonize body, mind, and spirit. You can reframe the way you live your life and what it means to you. You can design your own map.
