Spiritual Counselling

For far too long now, our intuitive and instinctual nature have been relegated to tools of the dark ages.   On the very fringe of society, intuitive people used to be feared.  Now the rational, logical thinking side is just seen as superior to all other senses.  This is finally beginning to change. 

Intuitive people are often the most sensitive people, their special skills now need to nurtured and encouraged.  Their skills to be harnessed by the organisations in which they work, and our institutions who educate.  Through openly accepting and acknowledging intuition as a poweful gift and tool that we should be using we can begin to shift thinking.  

A highly intuitive approach to counselling, utilising channelling or even mediumship skills is extremely valuable for the client.  This is because we are asking our intuition to deliver and guide.  This part of us is connected to a higher perspective than our rational minds can offer, giving us a more precise understanding on what should be the best way forward.  As a therapist, it is all too easy to get caught up in what you think the answers should be as opposed to the client’s best interests.

More than anything, an intuitive approach to counselling usually involves being guided to ask the right questions rather than bringing forth any answers, which empowers the client.  In fact this is the very direction to which even mediumship is heading, a new innovative way of working with our understanding of the sphere of the present, rather than fortune telling the future.  The best mediums know how important counselling is in readings.

Developing our intuitive skills is a lifelong journey, a career and path in its own right.  Some acquire, some develop and others are simply born with this gift to link in and communicate with spirit clearly.  Although there are still more questions than answers surrounding our communion with spirit, what is clear is that through this process we are tapping into still relatively unexplored waters that offer deep, penetrative levels of transformation.

Names are incredibly important.  We spend lots of time deciding our children’s names, as well as how we ourselves want to be termed.  The sound vibrations of our name are inherent in our own energy.  We embody our names, which is often why some people look like their name.  Of course some people do not look like their names, which perhaps could be interpreted as their name not quite being an appropriate vibration for the way they have developed.

Names shape reality, they are part of our nature and structure our environment. In some cultures, especially in the culture of the classroom, names are power.  Learning a child’s name is one of the first things that the supply teacher must do.  Sharing names is an essential step to feeling like you can relax with a person.

Names, while more than words, are still words.  And words are our way into the world.  They act as symbols, whose reverberations acts in the same way as music might.  They derive from a gut level, and they are shaped, cut and reformed in the same way as blacksmith shapes a shoe.  They are in essence recyclable and we reuse them to describe a vibration, a tone or capture an energy - whether we know we are doing this or not.

Knowing the essence of our name requires us first to break it down into its phonemes - in other words, its vibrations.  Each vibration has an essence with a character, the depths of which we are only now just beginning to understand.
