PsychoSpirituality is a rapidly growing field within the context of psychology. It focuses on emotional and spiritual growth through the use of techniques designed to tap into energy, intuition and past lives. It is not specifically related to religion. Traditional psychotherapeutic methods are known to lift our vibrational levels to those that are inconsistent with depression, fear and anger. Added techniques and practices enhance this work.
Psychological and spiritual growth is attained through facing the challenges we are given in our lifetime. While we are never given challenges that we cannot handle, difficulties nevertheless often require attention and help.

What is Mindfulness?
Mindfulness is a way of being more present in your body, your thoughts and your emotions. It is found in many spiritual traditions and is now gaining importance in Western medicine as a powerful tool for healing the mind and body. Techniques vary but essentially involve various hypnotic/meditative methods that produce inner balance and a great sense of control. Its principles include trust, acceptance, compassion, gratitude and awareness.
How can it help?
Techniques of mindfulness have been found effective in dealing with many psychological and medical conditions, such as stress, anxiety, depression, chronic pain, headaches, fatigue, cancer and gastrointestinal, dermatological and cardiovascular disease. Deeper levels of awareness enable us to experience more effectively life and the world around us.
What is Past-Life Regression Therapy?
Past-life regression therapy (PLRT) is a technique of hypnotherapy whereby the patient is regressed back in time to a former lifetime. It is recognized by the mental health profession as an effective and important modality of treatment.
When is Past-life Regression Therapy helpful?
There are instances where methods of traditional psychotherapy are not able to bring about the desired change or removal of the symptom. Past hurts, phobias, fears, compulsions, for example, may have no relevance to something in the present life; instead there may be a connection to events in a prior lifetime. Recall of a past-life may assist in the ‘letting go’ of the symptom and result in subsequent healing. It is generally recommended that one’s current life be examined before PLRT is attempted.
Is therapy confidential?
Following the information presented in the Clinical Psychology section, therapy is done in a private and confidential environment.
