When you have problems or have indescribable worries, you might go to spiritual counseling for help. Because it is “counseling”, you can ask for appropriate advice. Spiritual counselors will use their transcendental ability to answer your questions and remove worries.
The characteristics of each counselors differ, so you need to see by yourself which counselor is best for you. Now, how can you determine the best counselor for you?
7 ways to determine the best spiritual counseling for you
-Doesn’t frighten you
“That is not good”, “If you don’t change, unhappiness is waiting for you”…Counselors sometimes say such frightening words. Please avoid those who use violent words or trying to promote your sense of fear. You are there to ask for advice.
Frightening words would do nothing to remove your worries. Even if it is obvious that your future is a bit unhappy, good counselor should tell you what you should do instead of telling you directly about unhappiness. Talented counselors carefully choose words not to frighten you.
-Doesn’t predict accurately
Some counselors predict exactly about your worries. It seems that they are excellent counselors, but it is often not. Most people have complicated worries and can’t tell exactly about their worries even by themselves. Counselors organize your feeling as you talk.
If a counselor expresses this “organizing process” as “prediction”, be careful. He/she is just repeating what you have said in different words. This process is called “cold reading”. This is one of the techniques and often doesn’t lead to solving problems. You don’t want to end your counseling with just a “neutral conversation”.
-Able to control emotions
Counselors are humans as well, they have emotions. People who are born with such special ability often have instable emotions. However, you are there to ask for advice to your problems. Can you put up with them if they listen to you with different mood and emotion each time? Counseling is their job.
Counselors with stable emotions are more reliable. Also people who can control their emotions are also good at controlling their special abilities. To have appropriate advice for your future, the help of counselors is very important.
-Doesn’t order you
Spiritual existence is always watching you kindly. Counselors are to bridge between you and the spiritual existence. When they borrow the energy of spiritual thing, they should just try to “support” you to solve problems, for your progress.
Those who support you should never order “do this and that”. Also they should never say “you are unhappy because you don’t do this”. Please be aware that it is only you who can control yourself.
-How about humanity?
Spiritual world is in extreme opposite of physical world, and you are connected to the spiritual existence through counselors. Counselors are important for spiritual exitence to carry down messages. Of course, there’s no reason to tell messege through untrusted counselor.
People who are obsessed with physical world and being too luxury are possibly not trusted by spiritual existence. Also those who are not well educated often can’t carry down messages correctly. You should doubt words from such person, whether it is truly the message from spiritual existence or not.
-Have no relation with religion?
Religion is the emotional support for everybody. It is very important and indispensable for stable emotions. However, certain religious group and spiritual matters are not related. Spiritual is transcendental existence. It can have relation with all religions, and yet has nothing to do with any
religions as well.
If the counselor you are going to consult has some relationship with religious group, you should be careful. It is important to know well about what the group really is and the relationship with your counselor. Spiritual existence is in you, not in religions.
-Reasonable price?
Because spiritual counseling is their job, there is a fee. It is normal that you are charged for counseling, because they are spending some time for you. The problem is the price itself. The higher price doesn’t always mean better counselor.
Of course, some counselors ask for higher price because they are confident for their ability, but some ask for lower prices because they are confident as well. The most important thing is whether the price is reasonable for you, but you should doubt if the price is extremely high. The price doesn’t really matter for counselors with true ability. Spiritual existence and the money in actual world have no relations.
Was the article helpful for you? Reliable counselor listens to you and gives you advice about where you should go. He/she gives you advice, but it is yourself that actually do it. We are always wondering as we live. Spiritual counselors are not for removing such ambivalence.
Counselors just put hands on your back to help you move forward. It is you who need to answer to worries and act to solve problems. The answer exists only within you. Spiritual counselors are to make you notice that the answer is in you.
