What Are Healing Therapies Used by SOULutions?

Michael works with individuals, couples and groups utilizing a variety of modern therapies including transpersonal and positive psychology along with shadow work and updated forms of ancient spiritual practices. 

In the practice of positive psychology we work to strengths and gifts. Michael uses a variety of psychological testing and skills assessments in his work. Positive psychology also works with information about how the mind works and includes practices that keep you in the "higher" brain where cognitive thinking is centered and out of the "lower" brain where anger and fear are processed. 

Transpersonal psychology is the practice of incorporating our spiritual self into therapy and self-development. Our brains are hard-wired to have and need spiritual experiences. The more positive these experiences, the more emotional mastery, peace of mind, and acceptance we show to others. If these spiritual experiences are based in intolerance and rigidity of thought, certain parts of our brain actually shrink and we become less empathetic and less compassionate. 

This combination of psychological and spiritual practices works with the whole person. The chief aim of all Michael's work is: 1. To release and heal the emotional wounds and self limiting beliefs that block a client from their wholeness and 2. Shining their light in the world through discovering/uncovering their strengths, passions and living their unique life purpose. 

Removing the blocks – The SOUL-WORK of going deeply within to release the blocks from
your past that are preventing you from experiencing the joy now and creating the future that
is possible. We call it healing the wounds and bringing truth to the lies of your past.

1. Releasing the stuck energy of un-felt/un healed emotions that block you from getting
what you want and wanting what you get. Un-processed emotional energy is the biggest
block to getting and feeling what you want.
2. Embracing your Shadow Self to make the unconscious parts of your psyche conscious and integrated. This is necessary to prevent the self-sabotage that can undermine a person’s path to the wholeness they seek. An un- integrated shadow is the second biggest block to getting and feeling what we want.
3. Enneagram work as a practice of self observation that leads to making life choices away from separating, inflating and deflating ego behaviors to the connecting and expressing behaviors of our authentic self and spiritual Essence.

Shinning Your Light in the World  – The SPIRIT-WORK of expanding your authentic self fully out into the world in a practical way to create an extraordinary future.

1. Becoming Intimate with your Essence as a way of connecting more deeply to a your authentic self as a unique expression of the whole of existence.
2. Finding Your Calling - Every human being posses certain strengths and gifts. Finding a unique and passion-felt way to express these gifts, in a way that touches your hearts deep desires and core values while contributing to the healing and conscious evolution of our beloved planet is where you discover your CALLING. If you don’t discover it and contribute it, the miracle and mystery of this precious Life will never have it.
3. Living Your Calling- This is where we fully utilize the best practices from both conscious creation and conscious business practices to create a platform or vehicle with the structure for you to live your deepest Calling.
