What is Joyology?
Joyology is the process of developing sustainable joy through the practice of what I call Inner Teamwork. Inner Teamwork is the state in which all aspects of the self - from the most ego-identified to the most elevated - learn to work together lovingly and harmoniously toward the same heart-centered intentions and goals.
There is no coming into consciousness
without pain.People will do anything,
no matter how absurd, in order to
avoid facing their own soul. One does
not become enlightened by imagining figures
of light, but by making the darkness conscious."~ Carl Jung
What is Spiritual Psychology?
The University of Santa Monica defines spiritual psychology as “the study and practice of the art and science of human evolution in consciousness.” Evolution in consciousness is a progression from identifying ourselves as a local, impermanent, and seemingly separate self to identifying ourselves as the unchanging and boundless loving essence within. Spiritual psychology recognizes our fundamental spiritual reality and that our purpose is to evolve.
In my work, this means seeing my clients as spiritual beings learning to work more effectively with their human faculties. By developing a learning orientation to life, clients begin to identify the inherent value in all of who they are. They become more adept at using the totality of their experience for their upliftment and growth: they come to understand the healing opportunities within the challenges they face, and learn to see the so-called “useless” or “negative” aspects of themselves as being able to positively contribute to their lives.
The essence of my work is teaching the art and mastery of self-love and self-support, through (radical) personal responsibility for one’s inner reality. This leads to an ability to support oneself, spiritually and emotionally, through all that one encounters in life.
