Spiritual PsiKology

Believe it or not, we all have the capacity to leave our body. Distraction, addiction, compulsions are often ways to "get out of ourselves." In Spiritual Psikology, it is observed that getting out of ourself is literal. But, where do we go when we are not present? Renee shares some fascinating client experiences and some of her own process in leaving and grounding in our physical being. Grounding...

A paradox is a statement, situation, or concept that appears self-contradictory or absurd at first but may reveal an underlying truth when examined more closely. In simpler terms, it's when two things that seem like they can't both be true actually coexist in a surprising or thought-provoking way. For me, the idea that Donald Trump could be a positive force is surprising and contradictory....

Synergy is the idea that the combined efforts of a group or team produces greater results than individual efforts. It’s about collaboration and harnessing diverse strengths, perspectives, and talents to create something more powerful or effective than what could be achieved independently. In simple terms, 1+1 equals more than 2 when people work together harmoniously and creatively. Habit #6 of The...

We all seek to be understood. Understanding is the key to true intimacy and the foundation of love, empathy and compassion. All good stuff. It's counter-intuitive, but when we seek first to understand others and then to be understood ourselves, we are growing in mature, healthy communication and connection. Habit #5 of The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People, by Steven Covey, teaches us that t...

If we want to build a house, we need to have plans. If we want to get somewhere, it's important to know where we want to go. When we apply this very practical truth to our lives, we can become architects and navigators of our experience, rather than helpless victims of seemingly random fate. In part 3 of my 8 part series, we explore Habit #2 of Stephen Covey's masterpiece, The 7 Habits of Highly E...

When we are proactive, rather than reactive, we step out of old patterns and into more empowered, intentional experiences and relationships.

Human emotions cover a huge range, from shame and depression to rage and judgement to love, peace and joy. These feelings could be understood to have energetic resonance from low to high. We actually have the power to move up the emotional scale toward more positive and expanded experiences. We'll look at the work of Dr. David R. Hawkins, Fredrick Dodson and Abraham Hicks, all brilliant work that...

What we focus grows, and what we avoid stays frozen. We talk about "paying attention." This payment is valuable. Valuing our attention, becoming mindful of what we are focusing on is a potent tool for self transformation; just by becoming aware. It is no secret that we live in a time of great distraction. Renee talks about how distraction is often rooted in a particular form of suffering and how t...

What if we choose or agree to the circumstances of our life as part of our soul's journey? What if the Universe is a schoolhouse for our evolution?

We can ask this potent question in the present moment, in our day, or week, or on a...

The only constant in life is change. How we navigate change determines the quality of our life experience. Although we often can't control or stop change, we can align ourselves with it. When we are aligned with the deeper wisdom and flow of life, we find more peace, happiness and fulfillment. Everything is in some form of flux or motion. When we look deeply, we discover cycles within all change t...

There is a difference between loss and grief. Not all loss is tragic or painful. In fact, a life well lived leads to a good death and when we live deeply and authentically in our relationships, we can have happy endings in unexpected places. -- Here's a link to my YouTube video , "Making Sense Of Murder: The Loss Of Friend And Intuitive Guide Susan Morgan," an interview with acclaime...

The only constant in life is change. How we align with or resist this constant change has a lot to do with our experience. Often we must be willing to accept radical change in order to move forward in an authentic, fulfilling way. When we try to avoid the natural flow, we suffer. When we "go with the flow," even into radical change, we are free. -- Join my new Opendoor Community on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠...

The psychologist Eric Erikson suggested that there are seven main stages of a full human life. Each stage has a challenge which prepares us for the stages that follow.

Authentic human connection is imperative for our health and well being. Many of us have individual connections, but are deprived of the richness and complexity of community. Connection is a core need. When we are disconnected, we often try to fill our unmet needs with addictions and compulsions for alcohol, drugs, food, sex or shopping. When our needs for connection are met, the unhealthy desires...

Devotion is a powerful energy and intention that we can focus toward others, toward God or Source, or even toward ourselves. Learn about devotion to the mysterious Black Madonna and the many forms of devotion, like Bhakti, the Hindu devotion to a particular Goddess or God.

Embracing our vulnerable selves is an act of profound courage and self-compassion. It means allowing ourselves to be seen and heard, imperfections and all, without the fear of judgment or rejection.

By embracing vulnerability, we open t...
