 Expanding healing through self awareness

The fact that you have opened this web site is evidence that you have an awareness or maybe a curiosity of the spiritual aspect to your life.

We all have the power to bring about healing within ourselves  by first acknowledging the presence of our spiritual side and then by nurturing and embracing this spiritual aspect of our being. 

The name Healing Spirit Within was chosen based on this philosophy in that we have the healing spirit in all of us to bring about our own healing as well as in others.

With a few simple foundations we can begin to tune in to this power.

These are

  • Compassion
  • Being of service or giving
  • Receiving with gratitude
  • Laughter
  • Open heartedness
  • Respect for all living beings

 Holistic Healing

As an holistic healer and spiritual counsellor I offer several different therapies to help bring about positive change in people.  The therapies I offer are listed below to the left of this page. 

People often ask me what is the difference between mainstream 'western' psychotherapy and spiritual therapies?  In essence we can differentiate these as follows.  The 'Ego' of a person is often the focus of Western psychotherapy whereas in spiritual therapies we focus on the Soul of the person.  In this context the soul is taken to be the spiritual/ethical part of the consciousness  of the person and through this approach we can bring about a more harmonious  and balanced therapeutic outcome (Manne, 1997).



What do we mean by Spirituality?

Spirituality can have many meanings to many different people.  It is our sense of life’s meaning and purpose coupled with a perception of 'that which is greater than self'. 

Practices such as meditation, prayer, massage, reiki, plus many others can support and augment such an identity and relationship. Spirituality does not have to have a religious base at all - in fact it represents only one of the countless aspects to spirituality and spiritual practices.   At Healing Spirit within we welcome people from all walks of life who identify with spirituality regardless of  their religious views and opinions.

Please take time and explore this website as it develops over time, I hope you find some inspiration and value within it.
