SPIRITUAL & LIFESTYLE COUNSEL

THE ROLE OF A SPIRITUAL COUNSELOR
A Spiritual Counselor meets the metaphysical and emotional needs of their clients or spiritual children within the disciplines of psychology but also within the confines of metaphysics. Upon this one would expect a pre-existing notion of belief in the supernatural as a means to help people face issues or become healed. For many people, spiritual beliefs are very important. Some researchers, for instance, equate a person’s well being with the combined health of a person’s mind, body, and soul. Perhaps this is why a spiritual crisis in some people’s lives may result in upheaval and crises in the rest of their lives. Spiritual counseling is a type of counseling that focuses on a person’s soul level. There are a couple reasons why a person may consider spiritual counseling. First of all, they may seek out a spiritual counseling in order to explore or solidify their own personal spiritual beliefs. Some people might also seek out the guidance of spiritual counselors when they need help solving other problems in their lives, based on their spiritual beliefs. |

Spiritual Counselors can cater to a wide variety of religious experiences. Although the term “spiritual counselor” might bring to mind images of meditating yoga masters or bible toting priests, there are actually all types of spiritual counselors. Some of these counselors are denominational, and they do follow one specific religious or spiritual path, like Christianity or Buddhism. Here at Holy Spirit Wellness, we however, are non-denominational, and we focus on the One Creator of the Universe and Jesus being a supernatural role model of the light and Lucifer being the supernatural role model of the dark. In general, we feel that this type of spiritual counseling acknowledges that there is a higher force above us that interconnects us to each other and the rest of the world.
In this way we can provide a professional service that accepts metaphysical realities and utilizes these realities in a confidential counseling setting. |

As evil continues to plague our world, people will continue to want deeper answers than psychology can answer, they may even want deeper explanations for suffering, pain and death. In this regard, the metaphysical and theological sciences can supply answers to the existential questions of humanity.
When it comes down to it, spirituality is becoming more and more important in many people’s lives, particularly as they grow up. As we get older, we may begin to question the spiritual beliefs that we were taught as a child, and strike out to solidify our own set of beliefs. Also as we get older, we may find that we’ve gotten lost as we tread down our spiritual path and find ourselves in need of guidance. Because of these situations, there will always be a need for spiritual counselors.

WHY DO WE NEED SPIRITUAL COUNSELORS?
Individuals who feel as though they are missing their spirituality or those who feel lost in their own spiritual beliefs will often feel lost in life in general. Some may even feel as though a part of their souls are fractured or even missing. Needless to say, these are not good feelings. Spiritual counselors can help individuals with most matters related to spirituality and faith, unlike many other mental health counselors that are bound by the limitations of science alone. WHAT DO SPIRITUAL COUNSELORS DO? A spiritual counselor typically aims to help guide and advise individuals on all types of matters, whether they are spiritual in nature or not. Most spiritual counselors will counsel individuals regarding traditional mental disorders, for instance, such as depression and anxiety, as well as more spiritually based problems and break those chains that do not really exist. Of course, the type of work a spiritual counselor performs will typically be determined by each individual client. Some clients may need help exploring or even discovering their spiritual or religious beliefs. They may feel conflicted or confused and start to doubt their own beliefs that were ingrained in them for years, for example, or they may simply need guidance in order to figure out what their beliefs are. |
In general, one of the main goals of a spiritual counselors is to help people reach a state of awareness, or self-realization. They act as cheerleaders, motivators, and mirrors, which can help people finally realize that they are unique and amazing beings in and of themselves. After working with spiritual counselors, many individuals will finally realize their own strengths and abilities, and focus on becoming better people. However, spiritual counseling also helps people realize just how interconnected they are with the rest of the world as mentioned before. Be in the now as they say!
