Move
Beyond Limitations
Move beyond the limitations of
traditional therapeutic approaches and learn to live from the integrity
of your heart. Learn to engage with life from your spiritual
essence, from your truth, from who you really are.
We often confuse our self with the
identities we’ve created in the world. Part of the human unfoldment, the
process of maturation, includes the letting go of the false selves we’ve
come to identify with, and embracing our true
self, our authentic essence.
What is
Spiritual Psychology
Spiritual Psychology is based on the understanding
that our true essence is spiritual and
that our body, mind and emotions are vehicles for spiritual expression. This essence is
present in every moment
and we have the opportunity to connect with and respond to its guidance. Yet the human condition is such that there are many challenges that block
us from this conscious connection. Clearing
these blocks is key to the process
spiritual psychology.
Leslie Karen Sann presents a framework for
integrating psychological and spiritual work so that each approach
complements and enhances the other. Thus, every psychological limitation
or difficulty provides a special kind of opportunity
- to see where you have lost touch with essential aspects of your being
and to recover these lost parts of
yourself. Once recovered these energies can be directed toward creating a
life that is rich and satisfying.
Learning Paradigm
Spiritual Psychology is a positive
psychology that utilizes a learning
paradigm.
A learning paradigm does not presume anything wrong with you - it simply
presents things you can learn to make your life and work more easeful
and productive.
Issues are seen as gifts
for they offer an opportunity to reconnect
with your essence, an occasion to expand, to learn and grow. Adversities
are recognized as teachers. Life skills
are taught to enable you to meet the challenges of life successfully.
YOU are the
LIGHT at
the End of the Tunnel!
Learn to relax into your authentic essence and let
go of behavior patterns, limiting thoughts and feelings that no longer
serve you. Expand your capacity to Love, as you learn to live the
integrity of your heart, and offer the world the gift that you are.
Individuals
will learn to embrace who you are as a spiritual essence and live from the
integrity of your heart. This is a journey of awakening and discovery as
conditioned patterns of adaptation and survival fall away to reveal the
truth of who you are.
You will be supported in designing
conscious goals for your life as you imagine a future
you want to create. These goals, as you commit to them, will
begin to pull you toward them. As you do so, old patterns will emerge,
patterns that have kept you from having what you want, and as you become
aware of these limiting patterns you will have the opportunity to change
them into patterns that expand and support.
Couples
will learn to shift from behaving like enemies to becoming allies in each
other’s evolution and growth.
Rising energy pushes unconscious material to the
surface. Loving and joy are energies that lift. Therefore, intimacy will
bring issues to the surface. This is a blessing, as these issues are now
able to be healed and resolved.
Together you will learn to shift from blaming your
partner for your issues, to learning how to grow
a spiritually fulfilling, intimate relationship.
Learn to bloom your heart open
and offer your gifts fully.
