Spiritual Guidance: facilitating the search for meaning in one’s life throughout its various transitions; a journey inward in search of self-discovery and awareness leading to enlightenment and change -- not necessarily a religious journey, but it may be, depending on the individual. The journey usually begins with what may be your personal experience of the holy, the sacred, the divine, the mysterious. A goal may be to integrate prayer and life, reflection and action, faith and justice with compassion. You gain insight into what values guide you along your journey. Core beliefs explored during spiritual guidance are, the existence of God, the interconnectedness of all things, the existence of ‘spiritual beings’, the vast powers of the mind to ‘create your own reality’, the purpose of individual life, the meaning of lessons to be learned, and the possibilities of life after death. Spiritual guides are known by many names: Reverend, Shaman, Crone, Priest, Minister, Rabbi, etc.
