Water

Healers, Helpers, and Counselors

Studies and research for the Water element are geared towards supplementing the wide variety of helping and healing professions, including psychologists, counselors, coaches, naturopaths, chiropractors, acupuncturists, and massage therapists.

The TOTAMS astrological paradigm has much to offer in accelerating the capacity of a helper, healer, or coach to assist others more effectively. Knowledge of the archetypes and the life cycles of a client is immensely helpful to those in the healing professions.

Knowledge of archetypal psychology and The Timeline of Our Lives are extremely helpful navigational tools that can greatly assist organizations, schools, and individuals with an already established practice. In addition to individual and team support, TOTAMS will offer effective presentations and training to the various organizations and schools of healing, counseling, coaching, and education that already exist.

TOTAMS is also committed to working with children and exploring family dynamics while offering additional tools for understanding.

Sex & Gender - Daniel Giamario's Vlogcast #6

For this month's video blog, Daniel is once again joined by Elise Hebert to go deeper on this most important topic. The TOTAMS/Shamanic Astrology Paradigm™ has much to offer to help sort out this highly controversial subject. The TOTAMS approach recognizes 24 different gender expressions, all based on a full spectrum of archetypes. The emphasis here is on the intimacy and sexuality styles of each type. This information is extremely useful to help our personal relationships be more understandable and fulfilling.

Part One of this series with Elise is titled
“The Full Spectrum of the Archetypal Masculine and the
Archetypal Feminine in Intimacy, Sexuality and Relationships”
