Spiritual Therapy and how can it help you?

“So, spiritual therapy” I hear you say, “how can it help me?” Well, have you ever had a time in your life where you just felt stuck, hopeless, confused and annoyed with how things were going? Yeah, I know the feeling, I’ve been there too.

I grew up in a very strict fundamental Christian home. My dad was a minister, so God was a very BIG part of our lives. I’ve never doubted there was a God but I felt there was more to the picture then I was being lead to see. The thing is, I think everything is connected and astrology and spirituality go hand in hand. I was taught that new age and anything to do with tarot, birth charts or anything that wasn’t praise Jesus was evil or down right wrong. But I don’t believe this at all. I believe that spirituality comes in all forms and many of us will relate to one form or another a bit more. For me, I relate to it more in the form of tarot, human design, crystals, mediation and yes prayer. I still pray, believe it or not, but I’ve found a way for me to connect to my spirituality in my way and not in the form of my parents.

Spiritual therapy is there to guide you, to help you find the answers within yourself, it promotes positive thinking, self-belief and it has you looking inward so you can become a better, more focused you. I personally found with hardcore religion or Christianity, many people completely ignored their true desires, stopped looking inward and made excuses for why they would keep making the same mistakes over and over again. They were blaming God for their issues when in reality they weren’t actually fixing the problem themselves. I found people to be co-dependent on God, where they literally stopped making decisions or thinking for themselves.

Now don’t get me wrong, I do believe some people have found complete freedom with their relationship with God and that’s great, it’s just not for all of us and definitely not for me. I have found more clarity, direction and ease in spiritual therapy.

Below I describe many different kinds of therapy. I hope you find one that resonates with you. If you have any questions, get a hold of me, I’m here to help!

Tarot cards/reading:

A Tarot reading is used as a guidance to answer questions you may have. It’s not there to tell your future but to simply guide you to the answers you most likely already know deep down inside. They are there to encourage you to be bold and brave and go after what you want. They help remind you of what is there for you to work on in your life.

The Tarot is a symbolic map of consciousness that encompasses our journey through life, both spiritually and practically.

Tarot reading is the practice of divining wisdom and guidance through a specific spread of Tarot cards. However, contrary to popular belief, the cards do not simply tell your fortune, rather they are meant to provide insight into your inner most truths of your higher self. The cards provide you with awareness with what you already know.

Crystals/Chakra rocks:

Crystals and/or charka stones provide healing in your body and mind. They are used to open your charkas and bring positivity and answers to you. Many use healing crystals in their mediation practice or use them as affirming affirmations and gaining power for what you want out of life. Crystals have existed on earth for millions of years and they are used as a tool which works with your energy field to absorb, focus and direct energies.

I’ve been intrigued by crystals for a while now but wasn’t sure where to start. But luckily a friend of mine recently sent me a chakra crystal set. It’s perfect and now I can learn about them. Included in my set:

CROWN Quartz (white): Overall balance of the charka system, will amply with any other crysta
THIRD EYE Amethyst (purple): Enhances understanding knowledge and mental organizing, also pop under your pillow for restful sleep
THROAT Sodalite (blue): Communication, personal expression and the flow of information
HEART Green Quartz (green): Relationships and personal development
OLAR PLEXUS Citrine (yellow): Self-confidence and personal power, great for indecision
SACRAL Agate (orange): Creativity, feelings and sexual drive
BASE Hermatite (black): Grounding, stability energy distribution and physical survival

I’ve been sleeping with the amethyst crystal under my pillow and I’ve been sleeping like a baby. Also waking up very refreshed.

I’ve just ordered The Crystal Code by Tamara Driessen to learn more about the power of crystals and I’m planning on orderingThe Power of Crystal Healing by Emma Lucy Knowles

Meditation:

Meditation is a practice using mindfulness to focus the mind and achieve a mentally clear and emotionally calm and stable state. Learning to quite the mind of all the noise in and around us. Once you learn to quiet the noise, you then can hear your inner voice.

Meditation has been proven to help with focus, anxiety, depression and overall mental health.

I started mediating years ago but then stopped. I’m slowly getting back into it. I use the app Headspace. I really love it as it starts slow and gradually takes you through the many processes of meditation. It is a skill, so it does take practice. Like with any habit, once you get into it, it becomes part of your daily routine and you’ll miss it when you don’t do it.

Here are some great apps:

Birth chart/Natal Chart reading:

A birth chart reveals the location of the planets in the sky at the time of your birth. An analysis of this chart also called a natal chart, can provide deep insight into your personality, motivations, and desire.

A birth chart reading is super interesting but can get quite complicated. It’s good to have the reader explain all the important bits to you if you’re not familiar with how the chart works. But it can provide you with a lot of insight.

Human design:

Human Design is a mix of astrology, the I Ching, Kabbalah and the Chakra system.

With Human Design you discover what makes you different from everyone else. It offers profound insights into your psychology, along with strategies and techniques for making correct decisions and ultimately leading to a life of more ease and fulfillment.

I had never really had much interest in human design until a friend messaged me via Instagram asking me if I was a projector. I was like what? What is that? She said to find out what my type was, so I google human design charts and went for it. I’m actually a generator.

I went to Jovian Archive and typed in my birth date, time I was born and birthplace and then it calculated my chart.

At first the chart is very confusing, but then I decided to dig deeper and order the book so I could educate myself on this crazy chart. The more I read about my chart the more interested I became as it’s freakily very accurate. Then I ordered my blueprint from Erin Claire Jones, she specializes in Human Design. All I gotta say is this blueprint helped me soo much!

Affirmations:

I’ve never been one to do affirmations, but I’m slowly coming round. I’ve seen the power of affirmations work with friends, so I’ve figured why not. Positive vibes and thoughts all the way.

I started The Artist’s Way Workbook by Julia Cameron and it has you doing affirmations every day, so I’m hoping these stir up positive vibrations into the universe and into my consciousness, no more doubting myself!!!!

Give it a go. It will set your day straight. There are so many affirmations on the internet or via Instagram. Figure out what you are wanting help with and then start proclaiming positivity with these sayings.

Journaling:

My mother journals. As long as I can remember she has journaled every day, a true believer in writing down your thoughts. I could never get into it, until recently, and now, I am a true believer. It’s amazing how good it feels to get your thoughts down on paper. If you’re like me, your head is full of fog, thoughts, doubt, to-do lists, ideas, etc and sometimes this can be so overwhelming. I find when I write it down, it’s out of my head and I can then focus on the important things. I journal in the morning and at night. My morning journaling is to get all the negativity out of my head so I can start the day off right and my nighttime journaling is for reviewing my day, setting my intentions and just writing really.

Give it a try. Start small. You don’t have to write much, and it can literally just be writing a list of words that come to mind or a to-do list. It’s very therapeutic, I promise.
