Spirituality and healing are not separate.

All of life is sacred. All that is here is sacred. All parts of YOU are sacred.

The spiritual dimension lives within us, right in our neural and biological circuitry, waiting to come alive.

Have you ever experienced synchronicity? Maybe you encountered a hurdle or obstacle on the road of life that seemed insurmountable — then, somehow — an insight, a messenger, or unexpected support or guidance showed up at just the right time.

Maybe you have experienced the spiritual in moments of awe or transcendence, when out in nature, viewing a beautiful sunset, or at a live concert.

These magical non-coincidences show us that the spiritual dimension is alive in all of us.

It is, in fact, something that can be intentionally nurtured and developed.

Research shows that spiritually-connected brains are “structurally healthier” and prone to “less depression, anxiety, and substance abuse” as well as more likely to have positive traits such as “grit, resilience, optimism, tenacity and creativity” (Dr Lisa Miller, Awakened Brain).

The trauma vortex has a universal tendency to seemingly block us from the very forces of Life which support and guide us. We can feel cut off from the most expansive and awakened awareness, from love, connection, and unity with all that is. Restoring this connection is essential.

Therefore I have come to believe that we can’t fully heal without integrating and supporting this spiritual dimension; yet, this aspect is rarely included in mental health treatment. Conversely, we can’t grow spiritually if we’re not tending to our heart, our inner child, and the wounding in our past which must be addressed.

Spiritual guidance must be handled delicately, with precision and care. Most people nowadays hear the “g” word (God) and want to run out of the room, and for good reason – because of the history of harm and abuse in institutionalized religion.

Therefore, it’s extremely important to honor each client where they are, and allow curiosity to lead the way.

The Vision of Wholeness

I have been fortunate to spend years steeped in a living wisdom tradition, which offers highly practical spiritual knowledge — Advaita Vedānta, or the vision of oneness.

The truth is: You are, I am, We are, The One consciousness appearing as many, in endless infinite variety.

You are not separate from me, or from anyone or anything.

You are whole and complete as you are, missing nothing, and ultimately worthy and loveable as you are because you are love.

Love is your very nature.

Peace is your very nature.

Happiness is your very nature.

This teaching goes so deep – it strikes at the core of our heart.

This wisdom actually does not belong to just one tradition or one lineage or one religious or spiritual tradition; it is simply the truth. The same truth that shows up across traditions, that all the mystics know.

It is not about a particular book, or a particular set of words, or even a particular person, though all of those can be included.

The truth of our being, the nature of consciousness, is ever-accessible by anyone curious enough to take the leap.

The great saints of the world, both living and dead, were awake to that truth – and they had the courage to live it out.

Empowering & Practical

If we have the courage and commitment to understand it, this vision has the power to reduce all our illusions to ashes.

It has the power to fully relieve our suffering, to free us from the fear of death, and to create in our hearts such a deep expansiveness and humility that we have nothing left to do but bow in reverence and service to the Whole.

Much of what we could call “New Age” Spirituality, offers a version of this wisdom, but doesn’t really tell you how to get there.

It also doesn’t address how to go about your daily life, conduct your business, make money, parent your children, and have relationships, as a spiritual person.

I’m in love with the Vedic tradition because it’s also so deeply practical. The esoteric knowledge, and the practicalities of daily life are like two wings of a bird — without both. we cannot fly.

Time and time again, this tradition has served as a life raft when I was drowning in an ocean of my own pain.

Despite the many, many distortions and misunderstandings that are out there, my teachers have passed on the jewel of wisdom that enlightens, enlivens, and empowers.

Not About Belief

The Vedic Tradition is also highly adaptable, and applicable for anyone regardless of faith background.

In other words, you can benefit from these teachings regardless if you have a background in eastern thought, Judeo-Christian religion, or even if you’re an atheist.

Whether you aren’t sure what you belive, or if you believe in Jesus, Buddha, Allah, Quan Yin, or simply in the Universe and Mother Nature, all beliefs and faith traditions are welcome.

The Veda refuses to dictate or tell us who or what to believe in, as that choice is deeply personal.

In the pursuit of truth, doubt, questioning, and inquiry are encouraged. This can be the healing antidote for those who are recovering from spiritual or religious abuse, cults, or high-control religions.

I am not here to convince you of anything. I’m here to share what’s alive in the moment, and to help you conduct your own inquiry to the depths of your heart. You’ll arrive at your own conclusions from there.
