Sebastian and his way of working
“My work is meaningful to me when I’m able to help people realise what they’re made of. That they’re working according to a lifetime theme that affects them. Even with the best of intentions, too many people operate from old patterns. Intelligent people, for instance, can do very stupid things. If I can hold up a mirror, and awaken their awareness, it helps.
‘There are no difficult people, only bad trainers’
We don’t always receive a warm welcome. At times, the reception can be chilly —if not downright drafty. I don’t mind that. As we sometimes say, there are no difficult people, only bad trainers. When we kick off with a group, there are always a few who aren’t feeling it. They feel it is forced on them, that it has to be done. Though, my questions is: why did you say ‘yes’? You are free to go. But hey, why not try it for a half-hour or so? You might just change your mind.”
‘When emotions run high, I don’t go and fix it. I’m just there’
During larger sessions, we form a circle. It’s the oldest way people come together. No one’s in charge, but there are roles. It’s safe, friendly, and open. If emotions run high, I feel it, I listen, but I don’t fix, repair or rescue. I’m just there. After taking a deep breath, I pull someone back from the brink by asking the right questions, by showing what’s there, and honing in on how it can lead to something beautiful in the future.”
