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.
There IS Light at
the end of the tunnel!
What Clients are Saying:
"The most important thing that I learned is
the gift of finding my own truth. Leslie taught me how to live from my
true self and create a life of my choosing."
"I now observe myself as a spiritual being
who values and respects the good in myself and in others. This has
improved my relationship with my family, friends and work
associates."
"Learning how to forgive myself for harsh
judgments is the most useful tool I have taken with me. I also find it
much easier to forgive others for misperceived injustices."
"What was most valuable to me about working
with Leslie is that she helped me open my imagination so I could find new
solutions to my problems. She showed me how to recognize more than one
right answer."
