Psychospiritual Development: Pathways to Ancient Wisdom

Psychospiritual Development: Pathways to Ancient Wisdom

Integrating Psychology and Ancient Spiritual Wisdom

The truth is that there is nothing new under the sun. Spiritual teachers from all traditions claim that the answers to personal transformation lie within each of us. The psychiatrist Carl Jung believed that our journey to become the best version of ourselves unfolds in the first and second halves of life. In the first half, we face the challenges of establishing a place for ourselves and our loved ones by learning to become better partners, parents, and providers. In the second half of life, we uncover a deeper longing to love those we are connected with: ourselves, the human community, nature, and the divine presence within and around us. Connecting with this energy of love opens us to greater possibilities for being a light in the world.

Discover the Joy and Fulfillment of Psychospiritual Integration

Every person can enter the forest of the unknown and discover what Paulo Coelho describes in his book, The Alchemist, the inner treasure that empowers you to pursue your life’s calling. Contemporary spiritual masters like Richard Rohr and Eckhart Tolle teach us how to live in the present and find our true selves through the ancient practice of contemplation. Learning to grow from the insights of our dreams allows us to reach deeper into our conscious awareness. Dan Siegel, a leading psychiatric authority, has clarified the use of the Enneagram to identify our nine developmental pathways for transformation. If you wish to dive deeper into self-understanding, pursuing a path of psychospiritual growth may be the right choice. Dr. Regier can help you discover the hidden treasure of divine love.

While we all deserve to love and be loved, our experiences with relationships growing up can challenge our ability to stay connected to others over the course of our lives. Relationship education can help couples and individuals understand how to build relationship foundations that they can build upon. Understanding the science of attachment, how to grow emotional intelligence, and personality differences are invaluable for helping you and your relationship thrive. With relationship foundations you can experience those transformative “aha moments” where real change happens.

Michael’s many resources – books, poetry, music, online courses, seminars and retreats – will help you learn with your head and express with your heart.

We are more than the sum of our parts. While psychology is crucial for helping us understand ourselves and facilitating change, it does not explain or address the spiritual core of who we are. Psychospiritual therapy, on the other hand, creates a foundation in love that enables us to evolve beyond the fear rooted in our survival instincts. Psychospiritual Therapy is based on psychological science and theory while also integrating the ancient wisdom of loving spirituality.
