| Spiritual counseling respects the uniqueness and the awesomeness of everyone's experience and lets the soul glow and grow with or without a faith tradition. My work is based upon the principle that each individual is a whole person consisting of mind, feelings, emotions, body, and spirit. At the heart of every human life there is a spiritual core, the soul, which seeks union, identity or fusion with the Nameless, Supreme Reality, God. "We are not human beings having a spiritual experience. We are spiritual beings having a human experience." Teilhard de Chardin [1881-1955] The spiritual focus of my work is oriented toward aura healing through energy transformation, Taoist and Buddhist philosophy, some Gnostic Christian theory, Shamanic technique and cosmology, and the techniques I have learned over a lifetime study of healing from other sources too numerous to mention here. I embrace and respect truth found in all religions. I have been a spiritual healer for thirty years, and have a master's degree in counseling from Portland State University in Portland, Oregon and am trained in hypnotherapy from the Milton H. Erickson Institute in Portland, Oregon. It has been a blessing to have spent much time with amazing and wisdom-filled people of many different spiritual perspectives who have been my mentors and teachers. . To me the whole universe is conscious and interrelated, and I know that there is an intelligent order guiding the cyclical evolution of all life. I believe that there is an ultimate reality containing two polar aspects of matter and consciousness which interact. This interaction creates uncountable universes in an endless cycle of manifestation and dissolution. My view supports the concept of an orderly scheme of evolution in which life proceeds to more and more expressive form, awareness, and unified consciousness. I conceive of death as a recurring incident in eternal life. Our spirit or soul (human consciousness) is seen as essentially identical with the one Supreme Reality. Each of us are one with one another and the Supreme Reality which is everything.I believe in limitless space, unconditional love and acceptance, and psychic freedom. I also believe the law of karma to mean that we all create our own destiny. Karma gives us the opportunity to create our future as a result of our actions in the present. I aspire to be able and free to respond to Source in the moment, so as to create contexts for healing and personal change. Solutions to all of our problems are found inwardly through the Self, where miracles of healing spring forth from the invisible to the manifest. Peace Eliza copyright 2006 Eliza Carroll |
