Spiritual Guidance

In a caring, reverent, one-to-one relationship, Nancy Pfaff, the Spiritual Director, guides you to growth by making you aware of, and responding to the movement of God in your life.

Learn to better live out your Christian calling, and reflect on how God communicates with you through prayer and your ordinary life experiences.

Spiritual Guidance is not like counseling or psychotherapy.

Spiritual Direction and Reiki

When our spiritual self is not at peace, our physical self is affected, and vice versa.

Some people prefer to include Reiki in Spiritual Direction and others do not.  It is not necessary.  Through a combination of Spiritual Guidance and Reiki we can bring the physical and the spiritual together.  This promotes a healthier more relaxed and fulfilled state of mind as well as being.

Reiki

Many Christians view Reiki as a practice that provides an opportunity to follow the teachings and examples of Jesus healing the sick.  Others are concerned that Reiki has an Eastern origin .  Thoughtful, committed Christians seek accurate information and pray for guidance as part of deciding whether to receive or give Reiki.  See my question and answer segment in Articles on Growth..

HMR, Trauma Resolution

Holographic Memory Resolution is a new body-mind technique which allows expedient access to past memories and complete resolution of the painful emotions associated with these events without having to "re-live" such experiences and without affecting historical memory. This technique is profoundly empowering to the survivor who becomes his/her own "healer." H.M.R. employs both a verbal component and a simple nervous system support technique which enhances visualization and sensory access to memory while fostering safety. This "client-centered" process facilitates the resolution of "somatic (body) memory," thereby disarming the "triggers" that foster physical pain, flashback, disease and relapse.

Reiki (Cont'd)

Reiki is  a system of natural healing that is released through the hands.  It can help promote the healing process, and can be used in conjunction with other traditional and alternative modalities.

Simply put, Reiki:
     * promotes natural healing
     * is safe
     * balances body energies
     * relaxes muscle spasms
     * relieves pain and stress
     * releases emotional blocks
