Getting Help
For those going through a personal or spiritual transformation, getting help from the right people can make a huge difference. Many of us here at The Harmony Spiritual Centre have experienced some form of spiritual transformation, such as a kundalini awakening. Your life may feel upside down right now, but this is only temporary. Oftentimes, our own resistence and overthinking is what makes the experience substantially more difficult than it really is.
It can be deeply reassuring to know that you are not alone and have access to like-minded people who understand what you are going through.
Spiritually integrative therapy
If you are experiencing what one might describe as a spiritual crisis, it can be very helpful to speak to an experienced therapist that can help you navigate trauma or emotional pain that may be brought up as part of your healing journey.
Jonny Baker is a UK-accredited hypnotherapist that specialises in spiritually integrative therapy. He volunteers here at The Harmony Spiritual Centre, but his private practice is independent of us and offered through his own organisation called Change Feels Good.
He has experience working with people that are undergoing a spiritual transformation, such as a kundalini awakening. These challenges often bring up emotional trauma which spiritually integrative therapy can help you to navigate and resolve.
However, we understand that financial considerations may prevent you from being able to speak to a therapist, which is why we run weekly meditation and spiritual Q&A groups which are free to attend. While these groups are not a substitute for professional advice from a doctor or therapist, just being able to discuss your experiences with others and to learn how others have overcome similar challenges can be incredibly helpful and empowering.
Contacting us for support
If you are going through a spiritual transformation and need general support or guidance, you may contact our volunteers. We aim to respond within 2 days.
You may also wish to ask your question publicly on our discussion forum which may be faster than waiting for us to respond to you by email.
Our service is not a substitute for professional advice from a doctor or therapist. It is also not suitable for those in an emergency situation.
Mental health hotline
Many countries have a mental health hotline allowing you to speak to someone anonymously about how you are feeling. Just having someone who is willing to listen to you and to offer assurance can really make a big difference.
