Do I really need Spiritual Counseling?

Everyone goes through changes in spiritual belief in life, and while you may have successfully navigated through other difficulties you've faced, there's nothing wrong with seeking out extra support when you need it. In fact, Spiritual Counseling is for people who have enough spiritual development to realize they need a helping hand, and that is something to be admired. You are in touch with that "higher Intelligence" which has always been there to guide you. You have accepted where you're at in life and you are making a consciuos commitment to change the situation by seeking a spiritual helping hand. Spiritual Counseling provides long-lasting evolutionary benefits, giving you the tools you need to overcome whatever challenges you face.

What is Spiritual Counseling like?

Every Spiritual Counseling session is unique and caters to each individual and their specific goals. It is standard for counselors to discuss the primary issues and concerns in your spiritual life during the counseling sessions. It is common to schedule a series of weekly sessions, where each session lasts around fifty minutes. Spiritual counseling can be short-term, focusing on a specific issue, or longer-term, addressing more complex issues or ongoing personal growth. There may be times when you are asked to take certain actions outside of the counseling sessions, such as reading a relevant book or practicing a specific spiritual technique. It is important process what has been gained in the counseling sessions and integrate it into your life between sessions. For Spiritual Counseling to be most effective you must be an active participant, both during and between the sessions. People seeking Spiritual Counseling are willing to create greater awareness in their lives. Here are some things you can expect out of the sessions:

Higher Spirtual development and a more wholistic understanding
Specialized techniques to illuminate the "authentic" you
Real strategies for enacting evolutionary change
Effective and proven Spiritual Technologies supplemented by practical spiritual guidance

What is a Personal Intensive and how does it work?

My “Personal Intensive” are for a very select group. There has to be a certain degree of spiritual development before an individual is capable of understanding the subtleties of Natural Law. I teach "Practical Awakening". My "Personal Intensives" bridge the gap between Eastern spiritual knowledge and the Western realities of daily living. I focus on how to live an Enlightened life while still raising your family and enjoying the comforts to which we all are accustomed to here in our 21st century Western world. I offer my clients anything they wish, spiritually, during the Intensive. I will heal your Nervous System of past physical and emotional charges. I will teach you unique and powerful spiritual practices. I will give you personal spiritual, emotional, physical and social guidance that is just not available anywhere in the West right now. But you also have to be prepared from your side to take the conscious step to grow. You need to experience and to understand who you truly are first, before you can set about helping others. Otherwise, you will be operating from a false sense of self and that distorted sense of self will be transmitted to others and no healing will take place. I looking for those unique individuals have achieved a certain clarity about where they are in their spiritual journey and where they want to be going. This is important from my side as I am quite selective about who i choose for my Personal Intensive programs.

Here is how our Personal Intensives have been working. It is a full day intensive and you can do as many days as you wish. Most clients do 1, 2 or 3 day "weekend" intensives although the design could be extended to about a maximum of ten days. Around 9AM usually we would start with a special Vedic ritual that I perform followed by a Oneness Blessing with a specific intent. This is typically followed by an Ayurvedic Abyanga Massage and a unique form of Shirudara to enliven the Third Eye. The massage is optional though. That will take us to 10:30. From 11 AM to 1 PM., we would have our first personal meeting. We would break for lunch from 1 to 2PM. From about 2 PM to about 6 PM we would do an intensive (one on one) or (small group) program where I would take you very deep into the knowledge and very deep into the experience. It is very powerful and it is deeply personal. We will go into a lot of topics. Many of my clients plan out a series of questions or topics that are pertinent to their lives. The program is designed to be flexible. I can include or drop out any component. We often travel to wonderful power spots in the area. I like to teach in Nature. Our main sessions are held in a beautiful beachfront suite overlooking Santa Barbara's spectacular East Beach.
