What is spiritual counseling?

The goal of a counseling relationship is to support the movement from a place of dis - ease to a place of
happiness and peace.  The cornerstone  of
spiritual counseling is the belief in a power or Source that is at work
within ourselves and the world and it is only through the connection to our Source that we can truly feel at peace
and know that “all is well”.  Therefore, this type of counseling supports a movement from an experience of
disconnect to one of deep connection.  In this space all answers are given
.

Is spiritual counseling right for you?

Those who are drawn to spiritual  counseling have become exhausted by the "seek and do not find" experience,
and have come to realize that  the world's remedies for their pain and dis-ease are fleeting and uncertain.  They
seek a deeper meaning for their lives and a more peaceful and loving way to be in the world. Those who benefit
from spiritual counseling have a willingness to explore their inner-most beliefs and feelings as a pathway to living
in a state of peace and joy.

What is the overall process?

The spiritual counseling process begins with the understanding that all external problems are an effect. The cause
is the mind believing it is a separate, guilty, weak and vulnerable self.  Therefore, what is required to find peace
and joy is a change of mind in what it believes and a reversal of this limited view of the Self. A spiritual counseling
process uses Divine Guidance to help a person

  • Release guilt, worry, anger, sorrow etc...
  • Recognize spiritual guidance
  • Experience inner peace
  • Gain freedom through the recognition and letting go of false beliefs

How does a spiritual counselor support you in this process?

The counselor provides a safe environment where you can begin to question and bring to the surface all that you
believe about yourself and the world that have led to the current patterns in your life.   The counselor supports you
through challenges that are disturbing and/or painful by offering deep listening, non-judgmental presence and
gentleness.  

A spiritual counselor who has deepened their own ability to hear guidance, gone through their own process of
releasing false beliefs and  has experienced the healing that comes from being vigilant in letting go of their own
blocks to love; can offer practical steps, processes to release fear, judgment, emotions and false beliefs, and
personal experience to help support your journey.   This will enable you to

  • Experience more joy in your life
  • Deepen your relationships
  • Develop a strong connection to your Source
  • Align your life with your true purpose
  • Learn how to be present in the world in a way that reflects the Love that is in you
