About Me
As the Self awakens, self-care becomes a sacred priority.
Hello I’m Fauzia
"The awakened Self; selfcare becomes Paramount".
Fauzia Faizi Shah, MSW, LCSWLife challenges can be overwhelming and stressful, asking for help may not be easy but necessary if one is to overcome them. We all have experienced at some point in our lives, painful moments, found ourselves alone, perhaps no one can understand or maybe fear of being judged. It takes courage and resiliency to take the first step towards healing wounds and awakening to the self that lives inside the body form!
“You are not your body”
Eckhart TolleI understand reaching out for help is a difficult process but necessary if one is to experience joy, happiness, contentment, peace and love, one must become aware of the workings of Body Form versus the Self. Identification with one’s narratives, constructs and concepts will lead to more suffering because there is no end to thoughts and more thoughts, so on and so forth.
"The primary cause of unhappiness is never the situation but your thoughts about it".
Eckhart TolleI started my journey into the field of mental health and substance abuse in 1985. Through self-observation and mindfulness, I got to know Me, not the conditioned Me but the unconditioned Me;
I found Eckhart Tolle and Kim Eng’ s teachings and mindfulness meditations most helpful in my transformation. I completed a 5 month course with Eckhart Tolle on Teacher Of Presence in 2023. Bringing awareness and consciousness through presence ,one discover the true essence of who your are; Not your Egoic Mind but LIFE.
"Presence and life are inseparable".
Eckhart TolleWhen I am working with clients what I have found most helpful is; listening, respecting, empathizing and connecting which means I must be present to receive and to teach ways you can heal and transform, become aware of your true nature and who you truly are, free yourself from the narratives, constructs, concepts and labelling. I am big on teaching the importance of Mindfulness Meditations; through your breathing practice, bringing your attention to each breath as it travels inside your body, you will discover your self that lives within the body form and observe your thoughts, the one that is observing is You!!! Thoughts are just thoughts. The essence of you is much vast and greater than your thoughts.
"Until you make the unconscious conscious, it will direct your life and you will call it fate".

Most people treat narcissistic abuse as a “personal issue.” It’s not. When parents, partners, and bosses repeatedly harm mental health, productivity, and physical wellbeing, it becomes a public health issue. We need to start naming it so healing can begin.
