Honoring Sessions (Compassionate Inquiry) & Akashic Records with Leigh Aschoff
Honoring Our Relationship with Emotions
Have you ever noticed how many emotions might emerge and flow through you in one day?
One of my favorite aspects of the Honoring Sessions that I share is the invitation to come into a new relationship with emotions as they arise in our bodies, as they emerge to the surface of our awareness in the present moment.
When we are willing and open to co-create with our emotions, to witness them, to get in touch with them, to be curious about what they might want to show us, there is a different relational experience in our internal world.
Another aspect of this that I love, is that there is a spaciousness in the relationship we can have with our emotions, so that we are not identifying with them.
When there are many emotions flowing through our bodies and our energy, we can notice and be in relationship rather than merged with them or pushing them away which often includes an element of tension.
Each one of us has a very precious and unique invitation and relationship with the emotions that we work with.

A New Edge of Awareness
These two trees remind of me of the way healing and growth can expand us to an edge.
A new edge of awareness, seeing things in a new way, more space, more possibilities…
Honoring the inner journey of growth as something sacred, private and sometimes challenging yet profoundly rewarding if we are willing to stay with it and ourselves.
Honoring the rich connections possible when we are willing to be vulnerable and share with one another.
Honoring life as ever changing and ever growing…

Transforming Tension Into Embodied Freedom
Compassionate Inquiry and Akashic Records with Leigh Aschoff
Returning to Ourselves
Returning to ourselves is often an ongoing choosing that unfolds beyond the healing transformation in the sessions.
What I love so much is that life continues to present opportunities so that continued returning to our authentic selves is possible.
Transforming Tension Into Embodied Freedom
Honoring Sessions / Compassionate Inquiry & Advanced Akashic Records
When we listen to our bodies, we have the opportunity to notice when our nervous systems are regulated and when they are not.
Vulnerability is possible when our nervous systems are regulated. Experiencing safety allows us to experience vulnerability, reception and authentic sharing.
Honoring the practice of caring for our nervous systems, our bodies and our incredible ability to be vulnerable with ourselves and one another.

Honoring Possibilities
Which possibilities are you listening to?
There are so many different possibilities… how many possibilities are there?
Have you considered how many possibilities actually exist?
To really deeply explore what is possible, I invite you to the one on one sessions I offer - Compassionate Inquiry and Akashic Records.
The real, deep, embodied heart work happens in the sessions and it continues from the sessions into your life where you get to practice and see clearly where and what your work is.
As I do this work myself, in particular Akashic Records, Compassionate Inquiry and my daily meditation, I am expanding my awareness and my heart embodied perception of a wider, wider, expansive range of what is possible.
I am also noticing and recognizing which possibilities my habitual mind loves to go to.
I am also noticing which ones I really want to choose for this present moment.
What possibilities are you listening to?

Compassionate Inquiry and Akashic Records with Leigh Aschoff
If I had known how challenging and lonely starting a private healing practice would be (and it has been and sometimes still is), I am not sure I would have done it. I am deeply grateful to the parts of me that saw myself clearly and said yes to using, cultivating and sharing my gifts in this lifetime, on this planet we find ourselves together on. I am also grateful to myself for walking on from teachers and people who were no longer in heart aligned relationship with the healing work I am called to share. This has been a large part of my path - finding my no and trusting the ongoing new path towards the (sometimes unknown) yesses.
As I recently sat by a fire reading “Internal Family Systems Therapy” by Richard Schwartz and Martha Sweezy, I was touched by Richard’s mentioning of Carl Rogers, Fritz Perls and Virginia Satir (among others), who are also my teachers and beings I admire so much. Other teachers who have been and are influential to the healing work I share with others are Dra. Rosales Meza, Gabor Maté, Helen Vonderheide, Kit Kanohoaloha Wynkoop, Cheri Clampett, Arturo Peal, Douglas Brooks, Sianna Sherman, Pia Melody, Jorja Rivero, Hilton Als, Darryl Turner, Elaine Salango, Dave Petersen and Stephen Brown.
Though I am grateful for all my teachers (everything, all of life), I am especially grateful to the teachers who have shared with me, through heart, in ways that have welcomed me to relax more deeply into my Self and especially on my path as a healing arts practitioner, to echo this heart resonance in a warm, inviting way to others.
I am infinitely grateful to the guidance I received and receive from my non physical companions. The encouragement, love and stream of insights they have shared with me have supported me so much. I am so honored to have such a bond with them.
Thank you to all of you who have shared with me with heart and authenticity both personally and in the one on one sessions.
Healing, like comedy or love or fashion or creative energy, is never “finished”. We get to see again and again and from the seeing, we are invited to grow into sensing life, with our heart bodies, as us and all around us, in new and harmonious ways.
Feeling is healing and what a courageous choice of action that is.
HONORING SEEING PSYCHE AS A SYSTEM✨
May all beings experience heart peace love and heart body belonging.

Honoring Our Heart Body Mind
Join me in honoring our minds, hearts and bodies as we experience life as us and all around us.
Learning how to offer ourselves compassionate acceptance is a process.
Welcoming all parts of ourselves is a profound journey of befriending ourselves, of being our own best friend. When we are best friends with ourselves, we are best friends forever with LIFE because there is no distinction between us and life energy.
The field of life energy is everywhere and we are all a part of this.
The deeper collective work is connected to the deeper personal work.
As we relate in more harmonious ways with ourselves, we are invited to connect more clearly with our heart body truth (the inner wisdom that is calling us all), see and share it, with ourselves and one another.
Heart Body Truth is connected to Heart Body Wisdom.
Heart and Body are pathways to Truth; Compassion is woven throughout this invitational journey.
One on one healing sessions invite you to emerge from what might be veiling your truth and wisdom. Honoring the truths that emerge from heart body is a deeply self and collective respecting action and offering to make.
It is with deep honor I share the healing approaches I am trained in.
I offer heart gratitude to all my teachers of all kinds. I learn from and honor all my relationships.
Deep heart gratitude to the exquisite beings I have had the honor of sharing the healing approaches with - thank you.
May all beings experience heart peace love and heart body belonging.

Compassionate Inquiry with Leigh Aschoff
Compassionate Inquiry Sessions with Leigh Aschoff
Join me in celebrating a symbolic and deeply resonant completion in my life. As I celebrate this completion, I also honor my own evolving as a person and practitioner in the Compassionate Inquiry Mentorship Program.
My intention is to grow myself as a practitioner by looking at my shadow areas for invitations to expand my own self-awareness so that I may be an even more clear mirror to those I have the honor of working with.
Compassionate Inquiry invites us to deep and profound internal work and processes. This work is important for us personally and collectively.
The people who work with me are committed to their own healing and growth. The people who work with me are lit up from within with a burning creative passion they are listening to. The people I work with are sincere and courageous in heart. The people I work with are genuine in their desire to be the change in the world they themselves are called to be. The people I work with are heart warriors - beings who are ready to honor their sensitivities, their strengths and their gifts.
This is a memorable moment in my life. Being a part of the year-long professional Compassionate Inquiry training has changed me and all of my relations. It has deepened my ability to offer healing approaches to the people I work with. It has taught me so much and those learnings are still unfolding in my heart and bodymind.
One of the things I hear Gabor Maté say often is - only when compassion is present will people allow themselves to see the truth (a quote form Almaas). It is with heart honor that I share the healing approach of Compassionate Inquiry with others, through the weekly Honoring sessions.
Please accept my invitation to experience the healing invitation of Compassionate Inquiry. I have space available for weekly Honoring sessions. To begin the process, book a session or apply for a conversation.
May all beings experience heart peace love and heart body belonging.

Healing Approaches with Leigh Aschoff & Heart Peace Healing
Though I now primarily share Compassionate Inquiry in the weekly Honoring Sessions, below are other healing approaches that are inherently present in how I share and invite you to the relational healing experience in the sessions. Please enjoy this post as it is a general overview of the previous areas of study, training and certification I have experienced.
Compassionate Inquiry is a somatic, psychotherapeutic approach developed by Gabor Maté that reveals what lies beneath the appearance we present to the world.
Using Compassionate Inquiry, both the individual and practitioner/therapist unveil the level of consciousness, mental climate, hidden assumptions, implicit memories and body states that form the real message that words both express and conceal.
Through Compassionate Inquiry, the person/client can recognize the unconscious dynamics that run their lives and how to liberate themselves from them.
It is a revolutionary approach that draws upon the fields of interpersonal neurobiology, epigenetics, polyvagal and social engagement theory, internal family systems, the understanding and research of trauma, the body-stress connection, and somatic practices all held by a strong and crucial emphasis in presence, safety, and compassion.
“The purpose of Compassionate Inquiry is to drill down to the core stories people tell themselves – to get them to see what story they are telling themselves unconsciously; what those beliefs are, where they came from; and guide them to the possibility of letting go of those stories, or letting go of the hold those stories have on them …
That’s what Compassionate Inquiry is.”
~ Dr. Gabor Maté
Intention
To share the Compassionate Inquiry approach, developed by Dr. Gabor Maté, so that individuals can connect to the truth within themselves in the present moment, become free from self-generated suffering, and gain insight, clarity and choice in their behaviour.
Vision
To bring compassion, respect, acceptance, insight, healing, freedom and connection to humanity.

Transpersonal Energy Healing is a system that tracks the movement of energy through your body, voice, language and beliefs as we discuss your life challenges.
This tracking allows us to make conscious, subconscious memories that live in the tissue of your body. As subconscious cellular healing awakens in your conscious mind and physiology, transformation begins to unfold.
Incorporating a series of body/mind questions called “The Art of Inquiry”, the body’s chakra energy centers (vortexes of vital energy that influence the health of the body’s major organs, the brain, the mind, and the emotions) are stimulated and unwinding begins, releasing buried layers of tension from the psyche and physiology.
Transpersonal Energy Healing can be a pathway to deep release, relaxation and increased awareness of the connection between body, mind, emotions, will and spirit.
How It Works
Chronic conditions often have roots in the subtle layers of the nervous system, also referred to as the chakra energy system.
These sessions involve us working together using subconscious cellular exploration. We track the energy to see where it lives in your physiology on mental, emotional and spiritual levels in your auric field. Together we will track where your aliveness is stuck, and discover how to bring movement and healing there.
Throughout the session, we explore your intention using “The Art of Inquiry”. This process invites a holistic body and mind awareness dialogue about how you are experiencing the energy of chronic physical, emotional, psychological or spiritual pain in your life. During that conversation, we will track where the issue lives in your body’s tissue and follow the energy to the source where it begins to then unwind and heal.
Intention
When we connect to the root cause, the body’s natural self-correcting healing mechanism is engaged. Often people feel a flood of sensation, similar to the experiences of “chi” energy in acupuncture. The feeling is typically described as an increased flow of life energy. Once the energy stabilizes, we can revisit the issue you are working on. Often, your perspective will shift by the end of the session and beyond, into your life.
Intuitive Energy Healing is an invitation to be present with your breath, energy body and intuition for deeper self-awareness and transformational insight.
How It Works
Intuitive Energy Healing is shared through guided self-connection in both one on one sessions and in groups. When we create time and space to intentionally connect with our energy bodies, we can deepen our connection to ourselves and to our intuition.
Each energy center (chakra) has symbolic invitations. When we connect with ourselves in a relaxed yet active listening state, we can deepen our awareness of areas that need attention and areas that may need balancing.
You will get a taste of Intuitive Healing in the grounding and centering portion of every Honoring session as well as in any of the group guided self-connections and workshops I offer throughout the year.
Intention
Intuitive Energy Healing has an inherent intention of awakening our awareness of a deeper level of our beings - our energy bodies. Through this process of deepening awareness, it is likely and very possible to strengthen a clear connection and receiving from our intuition. Being aware of, attuned with and capable of listening to our intuition provides an inner relational system of trust, faith and empowerment through presence.
Sacred Creativity is present and foundational through all the sessions I share with you.
The Nature of Creative Energy
Creativity and imagination were my first great loves in this lifetime. Creative energy is ever present within us and around us. We are connected with this energy and we are not separate from this energy.
As I share the healing approaches in the sessions, I invite intentional connection to creative energy which arises in the present moment and supports the healing process. I also invite full body listening to the flow of creative energy and I invite you to this as well, throughout the compassion, inquiries and presence shared in the healing exchange during the sessions.
Intention
My intention is to honor and listen to the energy of Sacred Creativity in the healing sessions and in my personal life. Time and again, creative energy has led me to expansion in my mind, heart and body. As I honor the sacred in creative energy, I welcome the unknown to present itself in whatever creative way it unfolds.
Heart Earthing
Heart earthing activities support integration and healing. Connecting our hearts with earth includes our bodies and there are so many creative pathways to this “sport”.
Heart, like earth, has a rhythm, a pulse, a beat. Heart, like earth, is profoundly connected to eternal expansion…
Deepening our relationship with heart and earth means becoming intimately acquainted with possibilities beyond language.
Heart earthing is a compassionate action I choose often because it invites me into personal and universal connection through my body sensations.
What does heart earthing mean to you?
What actions do you take that connect you to your heart and earth?

Honoring Pain As A Pathway
“The attempt to escape from pain is what creates more pain.” - Gabor Maté
When we are willing to be curious about the tension and pain in our systems, there is the possibility of holding ourselves in new ways.
It is not possible to change the past however we can shift how we relate with ourselves in the present moment.
The invitation with Compassionate Inquiry is to learn to see how our past shows up in the present moment and to un/learn rejecting those parts of ourselves.
What happens when we begin to welcome paint to be seen?
What happens when we are willing to hold our pain as a cherished part of the whole?
To explore this for yourself, I invite you to the weekly Honoring Sessions. Sign up for a free 20min phone call with me to begin the process.
My name is Leigh Aschoff and I am a person-centered healing practitioner with a focus on offering the approach of Compassionate Inquiry, Transpersonal Energy Healing, Akashic Records Inquiry and Intuitive Healing. The weekly Honoring Sessions have a few spaces left for the BIPOC and low-cost clinic sliding scale options. Get in touch in you are curious and please accept my sincere welcome.

Know the Power of Heart Body
HONORING HEART BODY : Heart and Body wisdom show us the pathways to wholeness, again and again. This is how the work unfolds in the sessions yet it is very subtle. HEART BODY is a felt sense, an experiential pathway towards recovering lost parts of ourselves (the parts we lost connection with long ago).
HEART BODY connects us through different levels of memory - overt and covert. HEART BODY holds both the sensations and the connections, for us. When we are willing to unlearn outdated beliefs and remember how to hold ourselves in the ways we need most, those lost parts of us are there and often times they are willing to be seen, cherished, welcomed and shared with, in presence.
The pathways to deepening our connection to our wholeness are entirely unique to each one of us. The pathways to our own truth and wisdom are profoundly creative. It is when we can honor the unknown in the creative process that there is the possibility of relaxing into a continuum of WELCOMING what is in the present moment so that it may open and bloom, on its own timeline.
Some of this that I share here may seen abstract however those of you who have experienced somatic healing will likely understand. If you are new to alternative healing approaches or somatic counseling, please accept my sincere and heart felt welcome.
To regularly return to HEART BODY, to stay with sensations rather than go into thinking mind or story is not easy, It is not easy because many of us have been conditioned to ignore our hearts and/or disconnect from the wisdom of our bodies. Gentle willingness and soft focus on our inner worlds and our bodies can connect us with so much healing wisdom. Heart is ever present through this process.
My nonphysical team has been speaking through me about HEART BODY… I am often used in Akashic sessions as a messenger of energy practices, energy tools and custom healing via creative energy body pathways…
Please reach out if you are curious about somatic counseling sessions. I offer weekly sessions named Honoring. These sessions invite you to self connection through an active return to heart, body, wisdom and wholeness.

A Loving Self Connection
Deepening relationship with self means LOVING.
Loving self creates safety within our bodies. This invites truth to step forward and be seen. As we receive our own truth through relationally loving ourselves, we have the beautiful opportunity to bloom this truth.
✨How do you love yourself?
✨What are you discovering within yourself by loving yourself?
✨How is it a challenge to love yourself?
✨What truths want to bloom from within you?
✨What do you need to preserve the vulnerability of your aliveness?
Our bodies speak to us all day every day. How are we listening to the wisdom in our bodies, our cells? How are we making appropriate boundaries so that we have the SPACE to BLOOM as our WHOLE (TRUE) selves?
We do not have to give up parts of ourselves to be loved.
Boundary systems are discoveries of self-respect.
Loving self, with heart, is a profound process of curiosity, listening and patience.
How do you love yourself and create boundaries so this ongoing loving relationship is possible?
