Spiritual Bypassing, Relationships and The Shadow
I first started becoming aware of spiritual bypassing a few years ago. My eyes opened wide as I was reading the page in front of me. "A spiritual bypass or spiritual bypassing is a "tendency to use spiritual ideas and practices to sidestep or avoid facing unresolved emotional issues, psychological wounds, and unfinished developmental tasks" John Welwood & Tina Fossella. This was it! This was the thing I had been aware of for years in myself and others that I had not known what it was or how to describe it! I was so excited that there really was such a "thing," and it had a name.
I have cut out parts of the article below, but most of the content on spiritual bypassing is included.

How To Listen to Your Intuition
When you are trying to make an important decision, everyone you ask in some form or another will recommend, "Listen to your intuition". This is excellent advice, but often not helpful. If you knew how to listen to your intuition, would you be asking your friends and family for advice in the first place? Probably not. I think it is pretty clear that most people will agree that if you listen to your intuition, the process of making decisions will become clearer, simpler, and more successful. For most people, the challenge is not wanting to listen to your intuition; it is knowing how to effectively listen to your intuition. I invite you to join me as we explore different methods on how to listen to your intuition.

... Obsessions and Compulsions: Zen Buddhism Help or Hurt?
Obsessions and compulsions, we all have them. Does Buddhism help or hurt those trying to learn how to live life without being controlled by their obsessions and compulsions?

Obsession and compulsions Zen Buddhism have a unique relationship, so let's explore it together.

... The Difference Between Being Present and Self-Absorbed
It is easy to be confused about the difference between being present and self-absorbed. Current New Age, pop psychology and self-help literature make them appear to be the same. This is far from the truth. In my experience both personal and professional, there are several differences between being present and self-absorbed. The two that feel most significant are; 1) being present creates a spirit and mindset of service to others and 2) when we are present, we are aware of our inner experiences on many levels AND what is happening around us. When we are self-absorbed, the rest of the world takes a backseat to our own experiences and our own needs/wants/preferences.

... Higher Self Connection with Life Coach
One of the most rewarding and inspiring aspects of my work as a Holistic Counseling Services is facilitating the Higher Self Connection with a client. I can feel it in my belly when I witness someone experiencing the Higher Self Connection for the first time or the first time in a very long time. I am humbled by these experiences, no matter how often they occur. They can be gentle or not so gentle, reminders of who I am and what my work is in this lifetime.

... Chaos Can Be Positive
When I read the title of the article, Chaos Can Be Positive, I felt my head shift as if I was questioning the screen itself. I then paused for a second before reading the article. I began reflecting on my interpretation of the word chaos and why I would think chaos is "bad" or at least "not good"? The answer was simple. When I think of chaos, I think of a situation being out of control or without order. Now I see why I assume chaos will generally be "bad". My mind interprets "good" and control as the same. It's funny to think of it that way.
