What is Transpersonal Counselling?
The Transpersonal approach deals with all of the common human problems that professionals encounter.
The goal of healing is not to adjust to the prevailing society but to touch and embrace in daily life that state which has been called liberation, enlightenment, individuation, self-realization or gnosis. In psychological terms, it means revealing the true self.
Transpersonal is a path to self-realisation. We are shown how to unlock the hidden dimensions of ourselves, and use these dimensions to:
Find and create our life story;
And through this story, find meaning, purpose and direction in our life.
Heal ourselves and others;
Reach our full potential;
Understand the nature of the universe and our place in it.
We unlock these dimensions using a range of healing techniques and states of consciousness that expand our awareness and vision. Healing techniques include:
Meditation;
Rituals and ceremonies;
States of consciousness that mobilize our healing abilities; and
Symbols and myth.
Why is transpersonal work important?
Transpersonal work provides people in crises with an alternative to symptom suppression. It helps them to creatively adapt to their crisis, using the experience to grow and truly heal. The experience is transformed into a breakthrough rather than breakdown.
Transpersonal work is crucial in todays polarised world. People need to connect with their humanity and understand where they fit in the universe. This understanding transforms feelings of alienation and disempowerment into a sense of peace and harmony.
