| What
is Spiritual Counseling?
Unlike
traditional counseling or therapy, Spiritual Counseling focuses
more on the present than on the past. And we base all of our work
on Spiritual Principles and Spiritual Law.
I
look for Spiritual Truth from many sources, wherever I find it.
Traditional Christian teachings, New Thought Spirituality and Metaphysics,
Eastern religions and philosophies, 12-Step Recovery, Native and
Earth religions, all have something to contribute. Contemporary
seekers and writers like Emmerson, Deepak Chopra, Melody Beattie,
Wayne Dyer, Marianne Williamson, Paul Ferrini, Mary Manin Morrissey,
Alan Cohen and many others also have a lot to contribute to our
awareness and practical application of spiritual Truth.

Why
A Spiritual Practitioner?
Rev.
Ron M. Stone of the Agape International Spiritual Center sums up
working with a Spiritual Practitioner nicely in the following overview;
The Practitioner realizes that we are born of Spirit and not of
matter. Spirit is Changeless, Perfect and Complete. S/he realizes
that we are the living embodiment of Perfection.
Ernest
Holmes, The Science of Mind
How many people in your life know the Truth of who you are? How
many know that you are the holy child of God, perfect in every detail? How
many can see beyond the circumstances of your life and know that
you are already one with everything you could possibly desire? This
is the wonderful job of the practitioner.
Each practitioner has gone through years of training and has spent
countless hours in prayer and meditation. Practitioners have learned
to see beyond the “veil of illusion” to the Spiritual Truth of each
and every person. (Okay, sometimes we do forget.)
Ours is the opportunity to help free ourselves, and our clients,
from any sense of separation from our Good. We realize that there
is only one life, right now, right where we are. This realization
of the light of God casts out all darkness and the oneness and allness
of God is revealed, and in that moment the healing is done.
Take the opportunity to work with a practitioner soon and experience
the healing that occurs when you are in the presence of someone
who knows the Spiritual Truth of who you are, and in whose image
and likeness you are created. Allow yourself to be shown the way
back home to the kingdom of God and to the spiritual truth of who
you truly are. Discover the light of God that is waiting to express
through, and as you, in each and every moment.
Rev.
Ron M. Stone
