Why Third Thoughts?
“First Thoughts are everyday thoughts. Everyone has those. Second Thoughts are the thoughts you think about the way you think. People who enjoy thinking have those. Third Thoughts are the thoughts that watch the world and think all by themselves. They’re rare, and often troublesome.” (Terry Pratchett, A Hat Full of Sky)
The name Third Thoughts fell out of the pages of Terry Pratchett’s book and into my heart at a time when I desperately needed inspiration. Physically facing a serious infection, and manifesting of all kinds of incongruencies in my life - I had birthed my son only months before and the signs were saying that my life was over.
I needed a space for deep inner reflection, inner healing, but mostly, transformation. An end to suffering over suffering. I remember a moment of clarity wishing no one to feel this pain. And so, Third Thoughts was born.
The name follows the healing process. First we see simply see situation, name it. Then the mind comes with analysis, directed by habits, conditioning and compromises, and often takes us in a circle. But just beyond this, the magic happens. We break through to inner wisdom. Finding the truth through self-awareness, understanding, and new action.
Third Thoughts is my container, it is more than my name. It is a space where I combine my learned and intuitive healing, and add more - as real change requires healing on all levels; physically, emotionally, mentally and spiritually. It’s a space of integrative healing.
More than that, Third Thoughts is Soul Level invitation. Recognising that as we heal our thoughts and hearts, we achieve true integration as we shift the collective consciousness. Everyone of us healing the whole, the whole healing the one.
Third thoughts is an invitation to integrative healing. It a privilege to be sharing this journey with you.
