LifePath's Clearness process combines elements from both the traditional Quaker clearness committee and from individual experiences of accessing our inner wisdom. In our Clearness Sessions, you can gain clarity about important issues and questions you have about your life.

LifePath Clearness Sessions
Clearness Sessions are a one-on-one process that can help you develop inner clarity around issues and questions that are personally important to you. A Clearness Session lasts 90 minutes, plus the time you spend in the days before and after the session in journaling and other activities to engage with your issue or question and make it easier to open to your inner wisdom.
The focus of a Clearness Session is on helping you access your own inner wisdom about your problem or question, not on offering you advice, insights, strategies or techniques for dealing with it. There is no diagnosis involved, and unlike psychotherapy, the process is not intended for treatment of mental health problems. Coming to understand the deepest truth you know about your question or issue will help you feel confident that you can take the next step.
A Clearness Session is an experience that can stand alone without further sessions. Depending on your issue or problem, however, you may wish to do a brief series of Clearness Sessions (perhaps two to six sessions) over several months or even several years, with our strong suggestion that they take place no more frequently than once a month and preferably at longer intervals.

Clearness Sessions by Phone
Clearness sessions by phone are also possible, but several other factors need to be taken into account. First, you need to have a quiet, safe, and private space to make the phone call for the session. Feeling secure that you aren't being overheard allows you to create the conditions for confidentiality in your own environment.
Similarly, arranging to not be interrupted or distracted during the call is important in allowing your inner wisdom to speak. It helps (but is not essential) to have a speakerphone or use the speakerphone feature on your cellphone so that you are not distracted by having to hold the telephone in your hand. Also, for clearness sessions in our office, we've found that it's best to arrange the chairs so that eye contact is minimal and you can maintain an inward focus on your own process. For this reason, during a clearness session by phone we do not use visual electronic media such as Skype. If you kept your eyes closed for much of the session by phone, that would be fine.
We hope it is obvious that keeping distractions to a minimum during a clearness session by phone also means no texting, multitasking, planning your day, surfing the 'net, balancing your checkbook, or working on your "to do" list! You need to bring your very best focused attention to a clearness session.
Finally, during a clearness session by phone it will be helpful to do the preliminary activities that you would do for an in-person session. So we suggest you journal about your question or issue on the day before and the morning before the session. It will also be helpful to find objects or pictures that evoke your thoughts and feelings about your question or issue, and place them in front of you for the call. We also suggest you light a candle during the session to remind you of your inner wisdom and your purpose in connecting with the deepest truth you know. Dr. Bellg will be lighting a candle in his office, as well.
The best time to schedule a clearness session, either in person at the LifePath offices or by phone, is on a weekday at 1:00 p.m. or 3:00 p.m., Central time. Other times may be possible, too. If you are interested in scheduling a clearness session in person or by phone, please email albert.bellg@att.net or call 920-996-0887.

Is a Clearness Session right for you?
A Clearness Session is in-depth and personal, focused exclusively on you and your specific issue or question, and completed in a single session. Please note that the LifePath clearness process does not ask you to adopt any particular religious or philosophical belief. We would ask, however, that you be open to experiencing a deeper wisdom around personal issues and questions than the sort of answer you may arrive at by logic or rational thought processes. Developing this inner clarity is a personal experience that all of us can have, and the clearness process is open to those of all faiths and perspectives.
If you are seriously considering having a Clearness Session, let's talk. It is natural for you to want to know more about the person you would do this work with, and I will be glad to talk with you and answer any questions you might have.
