Spiritual Mentoring
Do you need guidance for your spiritual journey?
Awakening to your true self is beautiful AND often accompanied by a sense of confusion, inner restlessness, and feeling lost.
Having a wise and compassionate Spiritual Mentor who has walked the path makes all the difference.
We’re not meant to walk alone!
“A mentor is someone who allows you to see the hope inside yourself.” — Oprah Winfrey
Here’s why it’s helpful to have a Spiritual Mentor…
The awakening journey is challenging for many of us because it requires that we shed our conditioned, habitual sense of our “self” to become our true selves.
We go through a process of transformation that is similar to what a caterpillar goes through in order to become a butterfly.
There’s a spiritual impulse inside of us that gives us the signals that we’re meant to transition into a new way of being in the world.
It’s inviting us into a liminal space (cocoon) to let go of the “old” small self and create space for the “new” true self to emerge.
This spiritual journey can at times feel unsettling, confusing and scary because we’re letting go of our sense of who we are before we have grown into who we’re meant to become.

You’ll also notice that there are “forces” or energy inside of each of us. One force is the energy of the soul needing us to grow and expand. The other force is the energy of our conditioning and society wanting us to stay the same.
These 2 opposing forces are often what keep us “stuck.” You may notice that one day you have the courage of the soul and the next day you have the fear of your habitual patterns and your conditioning.
The role of a Spiritual Mentor is to be the reconciling third force that helps you harness your authentic personal power in order to continue to grow and evolve as a spiritual being having a human experience.
