APPROACH

AWARENESS & ATTENTION

No matter how intelligent or attuned you may be, Dr. Cilona believes that there is “always a higher level of awareness and attention.” If you feel like you understand your issues and patterns, yet still find yourself unable to break old habits and achieve your desires, developing your awareness and attention can be extremely powerful. Dr Cilona will help you identify your level of awareness of yourself and others and to understand what things might be escaping you. He will help you recognize what triggers you to be more and less aware and attentive, and help you find the right tools to bring your attention and awareness to a much higher level.
DISCOVERY & DESIGN

Dr. Cilona will serve as a dedicated and focused partner, collaborator, and expert guide in discovering all the nuances of your self and your life experience. Dr Cilona states “the really exciting part is not just the discovering, but the fact that we can all also design and create who we want to become at any point in our lives. The better you understand yourself, your history, and your current world view and experience, the easier it is to change the trajectory of your path to move toward more success, satisfaction, and fulfillment in all parts of your life.”
PURPOSE & INTENTION

Dr. Cilona can help you define your needs, goals, and aspirations with simplicity and clarity, and learn to connect on a regular basis with the intentions behind them. He states, “this is absolutely essential for getting any need met, achieving a goal, or realizing an aspiration. If you don’t know the destination, how can you find the right map and outline the easiest and most efficient route to get there?”
PLANNING & STRATEGY

Success, satisfaction, and lasting change rarely happen by chance. Dr Cilona can help you construct and execute your strategic plans with precision and savvy. He will help you navigate any unexpected challenges and pitfalls you may encounter, and help keep you focused and accountable. Dr Cilona will help you identify your level of awareness of yourself and others and to understand what things might be escaping you. He will help you recognize what triggers you to be more and less aware and attentive, and help you find the right tools to bring your attention and awareness to a much higher level.
LEARNING & REHEARSAL

Insight and understanding is not enough. Old ways of thinking and behaving can have a very powerful influence. Dr Cilona can help you learn and practice new and more powerful ways to think and behave in your life. Dr Cilona stresses that “a few moments of clarity and insight may be powerful, but it’s important to keep in mind that they are initially just that: a few moments. Real change comes from learning and practicing new ways to think and respond. It’s very much like learning to ride a bike. At first you are very wobbly and aware of every move. As you learn and practice it eventually becomes thoughtless and effortless: off go the training wheels and the person helping you balance the bike.”
INSIGHT & UNDERSTANDING

Developing a deeper understanding of yourself and all of your relationships can set a foundation for genuine and lasting change. Dr. Cilona will help you uncover new ways to see and understand your life and all the things that might be influencing you. Depending on your unique life experiences, strengths, and potentials, this might involve looking closer at the past, the present, or both. It all depends on you. The ability to adopt different and even contradictory perspectives of the same issue or situation can be an extremely powerful catalyst for innovation and change. Dr. Cilona will help you see things like you’ve never seen them before.
