Frequently Asked Questions

What is spirituality and why is it necessary to life?

Spirituality is woven between every cell of your body.  It is the air you breathe, your culture, the clothes you wear, the friends you have, the environment you live in.  It is your beliefs, your attitudes, your creativity, and your faith.  In other words it is all about you.  When you have a healthy spirituality you realize you are enough and that you have enough and that consumerism is a dis-ease that no longer haunts you. You become aware and are attuned to the fact that your thoughts and feelings affect every cell in your body.

How will spiritual psychotherapy help me in my life journey?

Spiritual psychotherapy, unlike psychotherapy, is not limited to physical or personality problems.  It recognizes the past limitations of one’s journey and invokes in an individual the unlimited essence of one’s growth of divine potentiality.  Spirituality psychotherapy is a holistic process that integrates the body, mind, and spirit.  It has the ability and is designed to bring one into a state of balance and harmony.  This in turn brings one to become aware of their own personal empowerment, becoming conscious of the space they occupy on the planet, operating from a place of peace and wisdom.  Spiritual psychology is an integration of contemporary psychology and emotional healing, esoteric principles and ancient spiritual wisdom.  It enables one to remain centered amidst the chaos that surrounds them.  Spirituality psychotherapy takes one on an inner quest into their Inner Dwelling to release and break free of the years of multi-layered fragmentation between power, control and release, pain and freedom, hope and despair, struggle and transformation.  One becomes wise living in a state of consciousness aware of the powerful choices they are making that will help them to ascend to beings of powerful positive energy.  Spiritual psychotherapy improves one’s skills recognizing the voice of their own intuition.  It awakens one to reclaim their own personal power.  It helps one to heal and have hope and to travel through the struggles and hardships into the process of complete transformation.

The root or core of the word psychology (psyche) translates into soul or spirit in the Greek language and for many years psychology was thought to be the study of the soul.  As civilization evolved through the changing epochs many philosophers, psychiatrists and scientists redefined the meaning of soul.  In time the sacred psyche of a person, their soul, was fragmented and divided into three parts.  A person’s mind was to be dealt with by psychiatrists and psychologists or psychotherapists.  The body was to be dealt with by doctors and surgeons and the soul was left to the religious powers.  It is only recently that researchers, educators and some medical professionals are becoming aware of the fact that when one dimension of a person’s being is affected all dimensions are affected.  Doctors and researchers are finally admitting that the soul (the whole person) must be considered in the healing process. There can no longer be separateness of those dimensions.  In order to heal it is imperative that all dimensions are taken into consideration when treatment is applied

Why do I need to awaken my spiritual dimension?

It is essential to awaken your spiritual dimension because you are spirit!  What motivates you?  The human body is not just mind and body.  It is spiritual too.  It is the ability to see the world symbolically and to know we are all unique and sacred.  It’s knowing that everyone has an identity that goes beyond his or her driver’s license.  To awaken one’s spiritual dimension will assist one in recognizing their skills and gifts and how they can use these to be of service to themselves and others and to the world.  When awakened one will realize and know that freedom and liberation come from an empowerment of the soul and not from money and societal power.

What are the reasons silence, solitude, and stillness are important for my soul?

In order to live in a higher state of consciousness and awareness these are necessary for your soul.  They give your soul stamina.  Why would you be afraid to spend time alone in stillness and in silence?  This will help you to discern and answer questions such as, “Where am I going, What is important to me, whose voice makes decisions for me, and who controls my soul?”

What is the reason for reaching a higher state of consciousness?

In a higher state of consciousness you will realize that in order to help others and the earth one must be whole and healthy.  You will realize that the earth and our health are our most valued treasures we have.  You will realize that your words and language have the ability to hinder or enhance another person.  You will realize your thoughts become actions and you will understand that we are all connected.  We are all “One.”  We are here to be of service to each other.

What does Debra mean by sacredness to life?

Life is to be lived to the fullest.  Life is about being of service to another.  It is about being a role model for children and others.  It is about learning how to best protect and serve the earth.  Life is to be lived with a knowing that happiness is an inside job and no money in the world can buy humility, empowerment, or wisdom.  Sacredness is knowing you are very valuable to all.  It is knowing the history we live and leave behind will help others to learn and to grow toward a global knowing that we are all connected—We are one with the Universe
