Consulting for Spiritual Travelers

One of the areas of my professional life which I find very rewarding is consultation with other spiritual travelers.

This consultation utilizes my therapeutic skills as well as knowledge of many spiritual teachings and practices drawn primarily from Buddhist teachers and the Christian Contemplative tradition. These provide ways to address larger issues which go beyond the issues of daily life; engage in questions like meaning and purpose of life; finding inner resources for dealing with suffering; and may even raise questions about the existence or non-existence of something we often call God, or divine intelligence.

I think of this kind of consultation as a collaborative exploration which focuses on the questions and blockages, and provide a nonjudgmental and open atmosphere where we can discuss and address the difficulties and successes being encountered on the path. As a consultant, my focus is on helping to open up and move through emotional blocks and spiritual impasses that inevitably come up on the journey. We can then explore how we would like to proceed given new ideas and and energies.

Consultation utilizes both therapeutic skills and knowledge of several spiritual traditions to address spiritual questions and blockages. I think of it as a collaborative exploration which focuses on the difficulties and successes which inevitably arise on the the spiritual path.
