Is Transpersonal Psychology for Me?

A couple weeks ago I sat in as an guest at the Angel Readings class that I used to take. It was so much fun! Received four accurate readings. One of the readers told me that she saw me studying a masters or a PHd in a new subject what would complement my healing studies. She said not to be scared off by the statistics because I am good with numbers (true!). Variations of that message have come through in four readings though they never tell me what it is. I mentioned it to a friend yesterday and she replied with a two-word answer:

Transpersonal Psychology

What is that? I looked it up and its psychology mixed with spirituality, super consciousness and mystical experiences. Hmmm, sounds like that could be right up my alley. I went googling for more information and found a university in Palo Alto that teaches MA's and PHd's in Transpersonal Psychology. The curriculum looks pretty interesting. The masters looks like a better approach and if it ends up being awesome I think you can add 3 yrs for PHd.

This has me thinking though. How much schooling can and should you do in one life? I have already been though college, an MBA and a 2 year class in Energy Healing that I will (fingers crossed) graduate from in May this year. Transpersonal Psychology sounds pretty amazing but I'll be 35 when I'm done with the masters. Thirty eight if I go for a Phd. My healing and counseling career will take off when I am 40. Hmm. It does seem to fit well though. I might sign up for a class and see what it is all about.

I am interested in psychology and had wanted to take a couple classes when I finished healing school anyway. Some of my case studies left me thinking I could do with a background in counseling. Giving Reiki is easy but sometimes I am left wondering what to say (and I refer them to a psychologist). This could totally do the job and a MA should give me a strong foundation. I wonder who teaches Transpersonal Psychology in London? Otherwise, this university in Palo Alto has a distance learning program that looks really interesting. I wonder how it works and if we have live chats and sessions, etc. Looking back, I did think about doing a double major in college, but there were too many cool options for me to focus another 11 or 12 classes on one topic. Maybe that was my chance ...

My 1st Psychic Development Class - 10 Years Ago!

In January of 2010, I signed up for my first clairvoyance workshop. Feeling curious but skeptical - would I be able to do any of the activities in the class description??? That skepticism disappeared by lunchtime when we finished the first exercise. The teacher put us in pairs and guided us through a meditation where we each visited the place where the other student lived. We began by activating our Aura, and through it, our intuition . The teacher then asked a series of questions: do they live in a city, what do you see in the street, how far from the neighbors, what color is the building, do you walk right through the front door into their home or is it a journey? The questions continued - how many bedrooms, how are they decorated, what is in the fridge, what is the view like? How many people live there? Do they have pets? What type of music do they listen to, etc. When we came out of the meditation, the teacher told us to describe what...

Does sharing have to be selfless or painful?

One of the things that I have had to let go of is the idea that if we help someone, it has to be 100% altruistic - in order for the action to be good. I don’t know if this is an idea that I adopted in childhood seeing others hold up selflessness as good - “give till it hurts” etc. The world would be a much better place if we knew that it is always in our benefit to help others. We always get something in return, directly or indirectly 💛 🫶🏻 Research shows that kindness makes for a much healthier society. I read a book last year called Shadow, Self & Spirit on transpersonal (or collective) psychology. There was a chapter on the psychology of evil and violence. People are less likely to harm others if they experience some form of compassion in their lives, or if they believe that someone cares about them - even if it’s a public figure, a politician, a celeb, or a deity like Quan Yin. Or better yet, family members, friends, and strangers. Random acts...

Is Manifesting for Real?

A while ago I wrote a post asking if spirit guides are real - pointing out that we have to challenge our beliefs, and also how we interpret what happens to us. Let's not get stuck in an idea or a worldview. So today I'm going to take this approach to manifesting - is it for real? I don't think manifesting is for real, nor should it be the main focus in our lives. And honestly, I say this despite evidence to the contrary in my own life, i.e. things that I've manifested. My issue with manifesting is that it's focused on ourselves, and what we can get in the material world. Personally, I've had good results applying conventional methods to get ahead - with help from my angels and guides. But still, it took drive and ambition to find a good corporate job in London, years ago. That and focusing on my personal competencies, and on the soft skills that were needed. Putting myself out there, networking, knocking on doors. Real world activities. And luck, that is a...
