What is spiritual guidance?

Spiritual guidance is a gentle, trusting conversation with a guide who helps you listen more deeply to the Divine — the Beloved, Spirit, or God — in your life. It’s about creating space for surrender, presence, and openness, so you can become more aware of how the Divine is moving in and through you.

My approach is rooted in surrender — the willingness to let go of control, fixed ideas, and the need to be right — so you can be more fully present to God. I see spiritual direction as having a soul friend who genuinely cares about your spiritual growth, celebrates your joys, and supports your journey into closer relationship with the Divine.

I believe everyone’s path is unique. My own spiritual life is shaped by prayer and study across many traditions, including Christianity, Buddhism, Hinduism, and contemplative spirituality. I welcome people of all backgrounds who want to name God and trust in that relationship.

I focus on helping you develop trust and attentiveness to God’s presence in everyday life and sacred moments. Whether you’re unsure where you’re headed or eager to deepen your relationship with Spirit, I am here to walk with you on this journey — with sincerity, courage, and openness.

Spiritual direction is not about having answers or reaching perfection. It’s about faithfulness, listening, and allowing the Divine to guide you into more life and love.

Guiding Others on Their Spiritual Journey

For me, getting to know God in the way that I do is the most meaningful and vital part of life. This relationship with the Divine gradually integrates into every aspect of my being over time. My deepest desire is to be available for others to discover and nurture their own relationship with the Divine, wherever and however it manifests for them. This calling resonates deeply within me.

I do not hold exclusive attachment to any one religion. I was raised Catholic and have developed a strong connection to Hinduism and India’s spiritual traditions. I have also explored Buddhism and its teachings. I trust in one God - the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. I believe that effective guidance does not require shared beliefs.

As a spiritual guide, I am committed to not imposing my ideas or beliefs on others. Instead, I seek to understand how you experience and connect with the Divine in your life, honoring your unique spiritual path.

FAQs:
1. Do I need to have a specific religion or belief system to seek spiritual guidance?
No, spiritual guidance is inclusive and open to people of all faiths, spiritual backgrounds, or even those who are exploring their beliefs. It’s a personal journey that respects your unique path.

2. What if I don’t know what I believe or feel disconnected from my spirituality?
That’s completely okay. Many people come with questions or a sense of uncertainty. The guidance sessions can help you explore and reconnect with your inner sense of spirituality at your own pace.

3. How long are the sessions, and how many should I have?
Sessions typically last about 60 minutes. The frequency varies depending on your needs, but many find that regular monthly sessions deepen their experience and clarity.

4. Is spiritual guidance the same as therapy or counseling?
No, spiritual guidance focuses on your spiritual development, inner growth, and connection to the divine or higher self. If you’re experiencing emotional or mental health challenges, it’s important to consult a licensed therapist or counsellor in addition.

5. What should I bring or prepare for a session?
Come with an open mind and heart. You might want to reflect on what areas of your life or spirituality you’d like to focus on, but there’s no need for special preparation.
