Center Services     What Is Spiritual Psychology Spiritual Psychology is based on an understanding of humans being multi-layered entities with a Mind, Body and Spirit. Commonly known as integral, transpersonal, or spiritual psychology, it is a method that seeks to explore the full range of human potential in relationship with the soul.   As the Age of Reason evolved the science of psychology separated spirituality from the human condition as behavioral scientists tried to understand the mind separately from the soul. When you separate the mind from the soul you are left with an insufferable complex of emotional neuroses, which is why the Freudian psychologies focused almost entirely on neurotic behaviors and their roots in human infancy. But when you separate the soul from the mind, you are often left with an infantile spirituality that cannot relate to the physical world, the responsibilities, relationships and complex emotions within it.   The movement to merge psychology and spirituality together again has been progressing for decades. But it seems our modern times have finally accepted or broadened the definition of 'spiritual' to mean more than just mainstream religious beliefs. Today more alternative beliefs are moving into this realm of therapy in seeking to reconcile the spiritual and physical aspects of our human selves.   It's no longer taboo to talk about karma, reincarnation and the affects of our past and past lives upon the issues and trials we face today. Spiritual Psychology takes the step beyond scientific psychology and tries to merge the wisdom of both the physical and spiritual experiences together again. After all, when more than 80% of the worlds population holds some type of spiritual belief, why wouldn't we try to understand the human condition from both a physical and spiritual perspective.   Spiritual Psychology seeks to understand the three layers of the human being. The person we display to the world, the person we see our self as, and the person we really are within our spiritual existence. This process of understanding helps an individual gain insight into the trials we feel that have moved us away from our spiritual path, created karma, and consequently caused us to feel separated from the Divine force within our life and our own Higher Self. Through spiritual work and therapy, we can let go of these pains and fears to gain understanding about the lessons our soul seeks to acquire and to see ourselves in a new light. To bring about a holistic healing for the whole being of mind, body and spirit. Due to the United States Constitution and its principle of the separation of church and state, religious activities are not subject to regulation by the government to the extent secular businesses are regulated. Many states forbid prayer as a form of treatment by state licensed practitioners while most Spiritual Psychologists will readily discuss the matters of Spirituality with clients to address problems in their lives.   Communications between minister and penitent are maintained in confidence. The "priest penitent privilege", also known as the clergy privilege, is an application of the principle of privileged communication that protects the contents of private communications between a member of the clergy and a penitent, who shares information in confidence. This condition of communication stems from the principle of the Seal of the Confessional. And it carries over to consultations through Spiritual Psychology sessions.   Insurance companies often will not pay for Spiritual counseling sessions.   Spiritual Psychology Services.
