What is Positive Psychology?
Positive Psychology is the scientific study of the strengths and virtues that enable individuals and communities to thrive. This field is founded on the belief that people want to lead meaningful and fulfilling lives, to cultivate what is best within themselves, and to enhance their experiences of love, work, and play.
Positive Psychology has three central concerns: positive emotions, positive individual traits, and positive institutions. Understanding positive emotions entails the study of contentment with the past, happiness in the present, and hope for the future. Understanding positive individual traits consists of the study of the strengths and virtues, such as the capacity for love and work, courage, compassion, resilience, creativity, curiosity, integrity, self-knowledge, moderation, self-control, and wisdom. Understanding positive institutions entails the study of the strengths that foster better communities, such as justice, responsibility, civility, parenting, nurturance, work ethic, leadership, teamwork, purpose, and tolerance.
Some of the goals of Positive Psychology are to build a science that supports:
-
Families and schools that allow children to flourish
-
Workplaces that foster satisfaction and high productivity
-
Communities that encourage civic engagement
-
Therapists who identify and nurture their patients' strengths
What is Spiritual Psychology?
Spiritual Psychology, sometimes referred to as Transpersonal Psychology, is the study and practice of the art and science of human evolution in consciousness. In order to fulfill this quest, we must begin by distinguishing the essence of human evolution—what does it mean to evolve? In short, it means surrendering anything in consciousness that disturbs one’s peace. It also means sacrificing our illusions of separation. Essentially, this is deep healing on a soul level. This includes healing on the physical, mental, and emotional levels in service to the deeper revelation of who we truly are as Loving, Peaceful, Compassionate and Joyful beings. We refer to this level of awareness as the Authentic Self.
Spiritual Psychology guides people in discovering their own unique answers to life’s essential questions: “Who am I?” “What is my life’s purpose?” and “How can I make a more meaningful contribution in my world?”
If you look up the word “psyche” in the dictionary, you will find “breath, principle of life, soul.” But if you look up “psychology,” you will find “the science of mind and behavior.” Somehow, in the translation from essence to practice, the most important aspect of “psyche” has been lost. SOULutions recognizes the importance of reclaiming and integrating the spiritual dimension as essential to an authentic psychological inquiry.
When we use the word “spiritual,” we are not referring to any particular religious tradition. Rather, we are speaking of the basic underlying universal principles upon which all religious traditions are founded. These universal principles can all be distilled down to one word, and that word is Loving.
