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.

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.

Practical Spirituality

In choosing to work with Leslie 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.

By working with Leslie you will learn that difficulties and obstacles in life are often blessings for they are the very situations that can provide the opportunity for growth and positive change. You will also learn to liberate creative energy bound in unresolved issues so that the energy can be used to create a gratifying life.
