HOW COULD I BENEFIT FROM SPIRITUAL COUNSELING?
Are you at the point in your life where you want to know more about yourself as a spiritual being? Has any of this been your experience lately?
- You spend time questioning the meaning of life, wondering if you are really doing what you came here to do.
- You have recently experienced a life changing event and you are getting the message that it is time for you to pay more attention to the spiritual dimensions of your life.
- You find yourself growing bored with the mundanity of life, yet know that there must be some purpose to it all, but what?
- You have tried to maintain a spiritual perspective only to be overcome by all that you must do to simply maintain this physical level.
- You want to stay meaningfully connected to your life source, but are having a very challenging time doing so.
- For a long time you have envisioned yourself achieving your life purpose through your work, yet you find yourself in a dead-end job that has no meaning for you other than making money.
- You have grown concerned about your spiritual progress but are not sure where to turn for help.
-
Though you long to soar high, you doubt how much you can actually know about the realities that are spiritual by nature.
What Is the Purpose of Spiritual Counseling?
Spiritual counseling can help you to learn how to bring more loving to all aspects of your life. I work from the perspective that to be spiritual and to be loving are one and the same. As I grow in my ability to love, I automatically grow spiritually. For instance, one sure way to mature emotionally is to be kind to yourself. Another way would be to practice unconditional acceptance for all parts of yourself. Sounds rather simple, doesn’t it? But in reality, it may not be so easy.
Unconditional self-acceptance can be challenging because you may view yourself as unloveable. And many of us have been trained to be hard on ourselves, using self-punishment and self-judgement as a way to try and prod ourselves into better behaviors. In reality, there are many more effective ways to learn and grow. Spiritual counseling can help you discover the ways that work most effectively for you.
Could What You Are Looking For Already Be Inside of You?
Maybe you were taught that the love you seek is “out there” somewhere. Have you ever thought that if you could just find the right person to be with, or the right job or town or circumstances, that the problems you face would be solved. But what if it is true that the love you seek is actually already inside of you? If that love does reside inside of you, it does you little good if it remains outside of your awareness. Spiritual counseling can help you become more aware of and put to practical use the loving that is already inside of you.
You may be wondering if it is even possible to become aware of that unconditional loving that is inside of you. It is nice to believe that it is there, and even better to know it. Part of the work we may do together is to work to transform as many of your beliefs as possible into actual knowing. Knowing will give you the connection you need to access the vast resource of unconditional loving that resides within you.
Part of my job is to present to you various methods that are capable of giving you the results you are seeking. You decide which of these methods actually work for you. You can then use these methods to help increase your awareness of your connection to the source of all loving. You can really only benefit from what you are aware of. And sometimes, simple awareness alone is curative. Your enjoyment of life can increase by leaps and bounds as you apply what you are learning through spiritual counseling to your life circumstances.
“Why Is This Happening to Me?”
You may be looking at your life circumstances and asking yourself “Where is God in all of this?” or “Why is this happening to me?” Spiritual counseling can help you answer these questions.
There is usually a method to the madness, and when you realize that there is purpose in all of your life circumstances, you find that your attitude immediately shifts. Suddenly you have answers that previously evaded you. You know more clearly what to do and how to do it. Things become clear as a new way emerges. The spiritual way can become a very practical and fulfilling way to live.
How Can Spiritual Counseling Help Me with the Healing of Memories?
I think that it is true to say that healing occurs when you are able to apply loving to those places inside you that are hurting. But are you applying loving to those places that hurt? Quite often, we are not. And that is why the pain and suffering persist. Spiritual counseling can help you release the blocks you have created to unconditional self-acceptance and apply the loving to the places in you that may be hurting.
Perhaps you have experienced traumatic events from the past and the consequences of those events are still causing you undue pain and suffering. Spiritual counseling can help you heal and complete the memories of the past so that the past no longer impinges on your ability to enjoy the present moment.
Living Free From the Influence of Outward Circumstances
It can be tempting to look at what is going on in the world today, and to blame your present day circumstances for creating the disturbances you are experiencing inside of you. This world can have a way of getting you down. But what if there is no person or outward circumstance that is the cause of your suffering? Suffering is usually a product of your own negative creativity. Spiritual counseling can show you how to create in a more positive, constructive way. By changing the way you are perceiving things, you can transform the way you see yourself and your present day world. Spiritual counseling can show you how to gain altitude and actually use this world as a stepping stone to your greater fulfillment.
