It’s not all crystals and prayer beads… In my sessions I often ask people if they have any spiritual beliefs, and often they will reply no, but that they would like to. In the quest for deeper meaning, many turn inward, seeking answers to the fundamental questions of life. In the modern materialistic world we are taught that everything is random, that nothing exists beyond the physical world and our sense of self is purely a survival mechanism of the brain. We are taught to believe that we are simply meat machines and we can be left with a sense that life is meaningless and that nature is simply a dead resource for us to exploit. However, many of us have an innate sense that there is a much deeper truth than what we have been led to believe.
