How We Interact
From childhood, we are all very much like a sponge absorbing our environment through our five senses Interacting and making sense of our world. We are heavily influenced by our parents and their learned experiences. This informs us as to our reactions or responses, whether it is to each other or to life's circumstances or to our relationship with nature itself, our pets, and so on.
Hopefully, as we grow in life we also mature in the nurturing of our emotional and intellectual learned experiences and our responses in these interactions .
In integral health, which is mind body and spirit, as we apply the emphasis of this integration we grow in ways that help us to comprehend in an even greater manner the ability to make responses that nurture and help us grow even further inwardly.
In my experience, as a spiritual counselor for over 30 years, when I can help facilitate that inner light to glow even greater within a person, I can see them using powerful tools to increase their awareness of their inner spiritual strength.
That requires me to access my own intuitive faculties so that I can then perceive the spiritual character of the people whom I am serving. In this way it also strengthens me to be of even deeper, more relevant service in my practice.
In one instance, a person came to me who was in the process of their own spiritual inner awakening but really had no deeper experiences of what the chakras represent as centers of consciousness that regulate the mental, physical, spiritual, and emotional aspects of the whole human being. I explained to the client what I intuitively felt were their dominant chakras and other attributes as well as strengths and weaknesses.
I gave them tools and exercises to enhance their inner experience and at the same time, to assist in their groundedness and mindfulness of the present moment. Therefore, when they had interactions whether with other people or to their environment they first looked to their own inner power before reacting or responding.
When I observe a client truly grasp their inner spiritual power, they then have a deeper level of comprehension in every level of their interactions with all of these different levels. Thus creating their own inner, powerful and informed, response on a deeper level than that which they had experienced before!
The idea through these deeper insights then most fluidly conveys the proper tools that the clients can use going forward in their inner self-realization and self-empowerment.
This is the purpose of Integral Health whether the practitioner is a spiritual counselor, psychologist, ayurvedic practitioner, acupuncturist, and so forth. Each type of practitioner is deepened by their own spiritual experience and thus they are then able to provide, through their interaction to the client, a richer experience than they otherwise could have only clinically.
