Companion Practices

---

The practices below were created to support different stages of the Lighthouse Model.

You might begin with the Body Check-In, which supports awareness by helping you gather information about your thoughts, emotions, sensations, and experiences. Before we can understand something, we often need to notice it first.

Once something has been noticed, Pattern or Personality can help deepen understanding by exploring what makes sense about what you are experiencing. Is this a reflection of who you are, or is it a pattern that developed through experience, learning, or adaptation?

As understanding grows, Inner Compass helps shift the focus inward. Rather than looking for answers outside yourself, it encourages you to explore what feels true, important, and aligned for you. This is often where self-trust begins to grow.

Finally, Choosing My Path helps translate reflection into action. After gathering information, exploring understanding, and reconnecting with yourself, you can begin considering what comes next and how you want to move forward.

You may choose to move through these practices as a progression through the Lighthouse Model, beginning with awareness and moving toward understanding, self-trust, and choice. Others may find themselves drawn to a single practice that supports the area they are currently exploring.

There is no right way to use them.

Some people return to the same practice repeatedly. Others move between practices as new questions, challenges, and insights emerge. You might use them together as a way of exploring the full framework or revisit a specific practice whenever you want to strengthen a particular part of the process.

Wherever you begin, the practices are intended to support a deeper relationship with yourself through awareness, understanding, self-trust, and choice.
