1197.0. "SPIRITUAL counseling???" by CSCMA::PERRY () Tue Jan 09 1990 10:59

    I am at a point in life where I need some spiritual
    counseling.  Am I asking too much???  
    
    I see a regular (psychological) counselor for some more
    of my regular problems (ya know...terminal illness etc)
    but I need a spiritual counselor.
    
    Does such a thing exist.  I don't want to join a church,
    nor do I want to practice Wicca or related things
    (with all due respect to Wiccans etc...I'm not a pagan).
    
    I have thought of getting a reading done, maybe my tarot
    read.  What do you people suggest???  I do read alot
    about religion, occult/new age books, but I'm at a point
    where something has to break...
    
    I guess basically, I am asking is there such a thing as
    a spirit(ual) counselor???

    Joe,
    
    I think a good starting point would be meeting with a qualified
    astrologer to have your natal chart interpreted.  If you are 
    looking for information on the spiritual direction your soul 
    is endeavoring to pursue in this lifetime, seek an astrologer
    with a good understanding of how to interpret the nodal placements
    (south and north) in your chart.  
    
    Whatever you choose to do, take your time to build a strong foundation.

    RE: .1  Joe
    
    I know a therapist who incorporates astrology and dreamwork
    in her work.  She has just completed her MA at Lesley in
    Expressive Therapies with a Jungian focus.  Also, as Karen
    suggested, an astrological reading could well provide the
    spiritual guidance you are looking for.  This therapist also
    does chart readings only.  Contact me off-line if you want
    further information.

1197.3Another PathDECATR::GREEN_TAEXPLORING WITH INTENTTue Jan 09 1990 15:4725
    Joe -
    
    I am just beginning to work with Shamanism.  I've only had brief
    exposure, but what I've learned and experienced so far has been
    very interesting and helpful to my spiritual growth.  I do not belong
    to any `organized' structure of religion and have also been looking
    for spiritual growth in other ways.
    
    I went to see a woman (very well recommended) who is involved with
    Shamanism last week to prepare my for a workshop that starts tonight.
    In talking to her power animal, and also taking a journey, in my
    behalf, while I was there; she discovered several things that need
    to be healed for me that involve the spiritual.  We talked of soul
    retrieval and also of a blockage that needs to be removed.
    
    I can't really explain this further right now, but after meeting
    with her again this Thursday, I may enter more of an explanation.
    
    I have an awareness that I am in need of this healing to help me
    in my spiritual growth without having to know everything before
    continuing with this process.  It is an inner knowing.  I know
    this is vague, but maybe some of this info is helpful.

1197.4trance channel/spiritual counselorJOKUR::CIOTOTue Jan 09 1990 15:5619
    Hi Joe,
    
    I would highly recommend a woman who lives/works in Hopkinton, Mass.
    She is a trance channel/spiritual counselor, who provides very loving
    and insightful New Age/metaphysical advice individually or in a group.  
    I have been seeing her on and off for nearly a year, and have learned
    things about myself that I never thought were true, but were -- a lot
    of eye-opening experiences that have caused a lot of spiritual and
    personal growth.  As a trance channel, she combines her own wisdom with
    that of several spirit guides, to give a no-nonsense psychic, yet
    loving, assessment and advice concerning yourself, others in your life, 
    and your life path in general.
    
    She holds weekly group sessions, and charges $45 per hour for private
    readings.  If you are interested, please send me mail at JOKUR::CIOTO.
    
    Regards,
    Paul
    
1197.5THANKS for the responses...CSCMA::PERRYWed Jan 10 1990 08:5919
    Hellooo again...
    
    	I have had the pleasure of hearing from alot of very nice
    	people suggesting what I should do.  By nature I am somewhat
    	stubborn and practical (Yes a Capricorn!), and although I have
    	read the bible (twice), the T Book of the Dead, Israel Regardie,
    	Shatki Gawain, Louise B. Hay, Edgar Cayce - - the list goes
    	on, I never seemed to get anywhere with it.
    
    	The spiritual quest is quite personal, and the same doesn't
        work for everyone (that was a quote).  I have decided to see
    	a couple different people.  A Numerologist, an astrologer or
        two, a psychic, maybe even the channeler from the previous entry.
    	What I will do is try to correlate these experiences into some
    	kind of cohesive whole to give me some direction to remove that
    	blockage I feel is holding me back...
    
    	thanks again.

1197.7Can we talk?CSC32::J_CHRISTIEHow beautiful are the feetMon Jan 15 1990 23:0210
    Dear fellow Capricorn,
    
    	I would be willing to have lunch with you and talk.  I
    live where you do.
    
    	I have a "mentor", a supportive person who is concerned about my
    spiritual growth and well-being; which I think is kinda' sorta' what
    you're looking for, a spiritual sounding board with no strings attached.

Libby Barnett of The Healing Connection in Wilton, NH, also offers spiritual 
counseling services.  She's a warm, caring person who uses a variety of healing 
practices:  Reiki, Bach Flower Remedies, yoga, meditation and traditional 
counseling, which help you connect with your ability to heal yourself 
physically, emotionally and spiritually.  In learning to use these healing 
tools, you are empowered to live a more creative, healthy and satisfying life.

Reiki means "universal life force", the healing energy that is all around you 
and within you.  A Reiki session connects you with this energy and activates 
your ability to heal yourself.  This energy balances and energizes all systems 
of your body, enables the release of old emotional patterns, and promotes 
personal growth and spiritual transformation.  Reiki is effective in relieving 
many different symptoms including headaches, low energy, chronic illness, 
smoking, pain, hyperactivity, anxiety, depression and stress.  Libby is one of 
only 200 Reiki Masters worldwide, who dedicate their lives to the teaching of 
this sacred healing art.  

Bach Flower Remedies are homeopathic medicines that help relieve shock and 
trauma as well as the stresses of everyday life.  They work to dissolve 
limiting attitudes and emotions by creating balance and harmony.  Bach Flower 
Remedies help you express yourself more fully, relate to others in more 
satisfying ways, and cope more effectively with stress.

In addition to offering these services, the Healing Connection also offers an 
ongoing program of courses and workshops in Reiki I and II, Bach Flower 
Remedies, yoga, and meditation.

To make an appointment, get a schedule of classes, etc., call Libby Barnett at 
603-654-2787.
