SPY 501: Psychology of the Creative Spiritual Life (3 credits)

This series of seminars lays the foundation for a holistic approach to life, giving caregivers the philosophy and tools to offer those they serve from this perspective. Six major life areas are examined to infuse a greater sense of self-responsibility, creativity and thus balanced healthy approach to well being.

Being unaware of the belief systems which shape one's reality often keeps one searching for knowledge in endless variations on outmoded themes. Having the tools to more objectively witness one's structure of thought, alter basic patterns and then analyze the results is a profound step in human development. This allows one more choice in infusing spiritual principles in place of unconscious patterning. These seminars take students step by step through this process in life areas which hold the most meaning and emotional charge. Thus it is more than a how-to manual, but teaches group and individual support techniques to make effective change.

It is expected that caregivers will be able to assist their clients to:

a. Infuse creative thinking into major areas of life purpose through analysis, affirmation and effective goal setting,

b. Understand and use the body as an energy conducting system, means of communication and product of one's thoughts,

c. Work effectively with prosperity principles including earning, spending, saving and investing,

d. Recognize major psychological and emotional patterns in relationships and apply creative thought principles to change,

e. Explore realms of conscious awareness beyond consensus reality,

f. Address psychological factors that undermine spiritual fulfillment including birth trauma, parental disapproval syndrome and the unconscious death urge.

SPY 502: Bio-Spiritual Energetics in Human Growth and Development (3 credits)


These holistic practices have been developed over the past 30 years. Caregivers will be introduced to the theory and practice of reading and releasing characterological and their corresponding physical energy holding patterns. Cues from the body, family history, symptomology and behavior of the client will be interrelated. This gives the practitioner several avenues of intervention in helping increase the clientıs self-awareness and self care. Specific verbal, postural, movement, and attitudinal interventions are demonstrated to assist in effecting positive changes more readily and more permanently than just verbal or physical intervention alone. Bio-spiritual energetic awareness and many of the techniques can be integrated effectively into clinical practice.

SPY 503: Systemic Approaches to Core Integration  (3 credits)

 
Spiritual psychology has antecedents in the fields of psychotherapy, systems theory and communications that have paved the way to more essential contact between human beings. Some of the most clear and effective theories and practices from the psychological domain are presented here. They open the doors to and interface with spiritual traditions that have been wise enough to train the mind rather than demonize it or try to eliminate it. Students will apply these practices to their own lives and relationships and learn first hand how to tailor the tools to their psyche as well as alter them for others.
Several foundational systems approaches presenting holistic paradigms for spirit/mind integration will be studied. This will include Family Systems Theory and General Systems Theory as practiced on a personal and organizational level. Students will study their own systems as well as their personal communication patterns as well as learn the techniques for assisting those they serve.

In this course the student will learn:

* To effectively use goal setting and scheduling as tools to self- knowledge and spiritual growth
* To identify ineffective communication patterns in self and others and to remedy them
* To understand and employ family systems theory
* To use basic breathwork techniques
* To be conversant with general systems theory and levels of consciousness applications

SPY 524: Practicum in Breathwork (3 credits)

The theory and practice of breathwork will be presented along with readings and techniques for integrating the practices into ones life and profession.
Over the past 25 years, there has been an explosion in the blending of ancient breathing techniques for health and spiritual awareness with contemporary growth and therapeutic practices. The result has been the evolution of powerful and incisive healing and consciousness changing modalities. This has given birth to the field of breathwork which has promoted significant advances in medical, psychological and spiritual domains. The call for professional training and supervision in theory and practice is immanent as breathwork is emerging as a primary technique in the practice of Spiritual Psychology. The Breathwork Practicum is a foundational course in this training.
