Introduction Life is a song ... sing it. Life is a game ... play it. Life is a challenge ... meet it. Life is a dream ... realize it. Life is a sacrifice ... offer it. Life is love ... enjoy it -- Sai Baba  Do you feel anxious, depressed, dissatisfied or sick? More and more people are becoming aware of something missing from their lives but they can’t quite put a finger on what it is. Life is meant to be joyful, fun, full of inner peace and love, but it can also be full of obstacles. These obstacles we can see as either being positive or negative. In the positive sense we can look at these obstacles as tests, lessons, challenges and opportunities to grow and be grateful for the growth potential it has given us. On the other hand, we can judge these obstacles as negative and see them as aggravations, irritations and upsets and then allow ourselves to become depressed and sad. It is how we think, interpret and perceive that will determine how we feel in any given situation.  We have been given the gift of choice and it is this that governs our life. We can choose to be happy or choose to be sad. Counselling can help you to move your life away from unhappy emotional states. Conventional counselling works on the personality level whereas spiritual counselling works with the mind, body and spirit in a holistic way. It is linked to transpersonal psychology, which is beyond personal and looks at life from the perspective of spirit instead of personality.  Spiritual counselling gives you the tools to awaken to who you truly are. It also looks past the mind and feelings and aims to help you free your soul, to help you recognize that you are a spiritual being having a fulfilling human experience. Spiritual counselling takes from conventional counselling techniques. It also employs thought therapy, showing how you manifest things in your life through your thoughts, which are powerful influences within you and which actually create your reality. In addition, spiritual counselling employs energy healing, which uses energy to clear and cleanse the chakras, thereby restoring the balance within the body, mind and spirit. The feeling of emptiness you may feel is your Divine Self (or you might like to call it your Soul) trying to communicate with you, inviting you to look at your life more closely, to see what is serving your higher good and what can now be discarded. Spiritual Counselling gives you the tools to make this link with your Divine Self, it helps you to awaken to who you truly are. The ultimate aim is to refine one's consciousness.
