The good news is that there are no new spiritual teachings. There is nothing new you or I need to add – the teachings are already complete! A Spiritual Teacher may offer a fresh perspective or new lens to view the spiritual teachings, but nothing new. What a relief! The challenge for you and me is to fully comprehend and practice the spiritual teachings in our daily lives. I am very grateful for the teacher I have worked with for nearly 25 years. She has been a source of inspiration, strength, courage, guidance, and, more than anything, a model of the commitment required to complete the work we signed up for in this lifetime.
My training and experience draw from many spiritual and mystical traditions. A few of them include Buddhism, Taoism, Catholicism, Quakerism, Islam, Judaism, Hinduism, and the vast spiritual teachings of our indigenous and native cultures around the globe. Spiritual Teachings come in all shapes and forms from all over the world. No single culture or tradition is responsible for all spiritual teachings. The most important thing I have learned is that spiritual teachings prepare us to serve. I invite you to explore spiritual practices, and I’m available to provide Reiki Counseling, Life Coaching and Meditation Training if that calls to you.
“I have had the privilege to call Michael many things: Teacher, mentor, guide, and friend. At a time in my life when I lacked purpose or direction, Michael helped me uncover my truth and orient toward my path. He is a uniquely gifted healer with an unusual capacity to meet people exactly where they are. I highly recommend his work to anyone interested in personal, spiritual, or emotional growth.”Valeria
