What is Spiritual Direction?

Spiritual Direction is about spirituality rather about religion, religious rites and practices, and theology. Spiritual Direction assists a person to find, and listen to, the inner voice, or soul, which is the true self and/or the Divine within. You learn to rest with yourself and with the Divine.

Let’s just say it: Spiritual Direction is an inaccurate term. In Spiritual Direction sessions, a person does not tell the other “you do this,” or “you do that.” There is no direction. It is best to call this “Soul Companionship.”

Psychological Counseling and Soul Companionship

These two play well together. They both provide containers for a person to remove emotional wounds and blockages. Psychological Counseling provides an excellent container for one to identify and resolve one’s feelings, emotions and internal wounds through talking and reflection, especially, when addressing trauma, i.e., sexual, physical, verbal, etc.

Soul Companionship does some of these things and invites a person to go within to find that inner guru, the inner self, and the Divine. Once you meet that inner voice, you are invited into relationship of healing, love, and healing of wounds and relationships with yourself and the divine. You may use meditation, contemplation, action, and prayer. Soul Companionship helps a person to get “unstuck” in thoughts, feelings, emotions, etc. A Soul Companion is not qualified to help with addresses serious sexual, physical, etc., trauma. Please see a Counselor for these traumas.
