Counseling Against the Occasion of Sin

Counseling For Permanent Solutions

As is the case in all recovery from physical and addictive substances, vice and sin are no different.  A recovering sinner obsessed with a particular habitual vice has a long and hard road ahead of himself.  While the penitent has made the personal decision to change his lifestyle, he still has a rough road of change.  When Christian Counseling these individuals, one must be patient and encouraging to the efforts and trials this person will attempt to overcome.
The removal of occasions of sin are the pivotal part in helping someone gain spiritual freedom.  Satan does not wish to relinquish his control and will become noisy again in the life of the penitent.  His quiet days are over as he realizes the change of the person’s life.  Satan can no longer be quiet but will hope to disrupt the conversion process and impede virtuous practice with an array of spiritual temptations.  One who is recovering from a particular vice such as lust, must earnestly try harder to remove temptation via prayer, confession and reception of the sacraments.
However, one plays into the hands of Satan, when one purposely places himself into temptation filled situations.  Again the example of lust portrays excellent examples.  The penitent who is attempting to live a virtuous life places himself in great spiritual harm by going to bars and other lustful places, or involving himself with sexual individuals who will gladly perform sexual favors.  These occasions of sin can cause relapse or destroy the conversion process completely.
Yet as a counselor, one must show patience with their spiritual children.  As one falls, one must again get up.  As one returns with remorse, the counselor cannot condemn, but aid the person to find greater strength.  The person already realizes the  perils and dangers of his spiritual life, he does not need condemnation but charity and guidance.  Through continued prayer and good works, eventually the tide can be turned.  Keep in mind, as stated earlier, recovering from a vice is much like recovering from an addiction.  In which case, even culpability is lessened even if occasional relapse occurs.
In many instances, the penitent cannot escape the gravitational pull of the vice.  In this regard, while prayer and the sacraments strengthen the soul, one should admit the vulnerability of self and the lost nature of all souls without grace.  While overcoming temptation proves merit in battle, in may be worthwhile to pray that God removes the temptation from the person’s life.  Here the elimination of occasion of sin is imperative in the early stages of recovery.  The person’s spiritual immune system to the vice is so weakened that the smallest whisper of Satan can confuse and cause an incident of relapse.
It is important for all Christians to take into account a spiritual inventory of their life and recall all their acquaintances, places of interest and possessions that are directed away from God.  These things deviate the soul from holiness and prevent the soul from progressing spiritually.  It is even more true in the earliest stages of a soul’s spiritual renaissance that it will encounter the venomous vipers of the world that dig and pull at the soul from continuing its spiritually towards God.  St. Theresa of Avila, prudently points this out in her classic work, “The Interior Castle”. In this work,  she speaks of the illusions of the world and how they attempt to pull the soul away from its journey to God.  Only through time and closer union to God, does the soul soon break free from these parasitical vices of the world that hope to suck the grace and life of the soul.
In conclusion, I think it is prudent to bear attention to Matthew 7:6 where Scripture states not to give pearls to swine who will trample over one’s gifts, or to give to the dogs what is sacred.  Instead we are to share our lives with people who will also love us and share in the good news of Christ.  In the end, when one lives one’s faith among those who hold the faith with contempt, it is the virtuous who usually fall into sin and follow the ways of the unfaithful.

Part 1:  The balance of care and over care: Caring at your expense
Got up late again… Had to bake those cupcakes for the school picnic. Sarah asked me to switch with her and work today even though I really wanted off so that I could get it all done and sleep too! Oh well, I just do not like to say no. It is really getting to me though. I am tired and testy with my family and I really have lost myself in this process.

Ask Dr. Shu- Do other Pets Grieve the Loss of Another Pet?

husky in turtle neckDo Other Pets grieve When the Loss of Another Pet Happens?

To someone who has never owned a pet, it may come to surprise that pets grieve for the loss of another pet.  Those who have owned dogs or cats before only know to well the pain and loss another pet can feel.
I think the classic book, “Where the Red Fern Grows” captures this best as the one coon hound’s partner refused to eat or live without her partner.  Death came quickly in the grief of the other dog because she missed her friend so much.
This can and does happen.  Most of the time pets will mope or not eat as much.  This was the case with one of my dogs who lost his life long friend.  After her death, he moped, did not eat nor seem as energetic.  In other cases, the surviving pet will sometimes look for their friend as if surprised he does not run up the stairs with him when called.  Sometimes their ears will perk up upon the mentioning of their treasured lost friend.  The reality is bonds do form among dogs and cats.  Especially in more socially structured packs of dogs where there is a hierarchy and dependency.

“Dr. Shu” insists that all dogs feel sadness regarding the loss of another pet.  He recommends spending extra time with the surviving pet and grieving together.  He also recommends extra attention in regards to treats and toys to cheer the surviving pet up.  The surviving pet should not be left alone and should be monitored for any signs of depression or change of behavior.  Shu relates that “the owner should open up his emotions and grieve together with the surviving pet, providing love for the surviving pet and also giving the owner an emotional outlet to express his or her grief for the loss of the deceased pet”
Of course, sometimes a new friend may be in the future as well to help spark up the spirits of your surviving canine or feline.  In the end, it is a mutual grieving process and owner and surviving pet should grieve together.
Please review the pet loss program.

How Meditation Can Help You!

Buddha was onto something. “All that we are is the result of what we have thought,” he said 2,500 years ago. Finally science is catching up. In a University of Wisconsin study of Buddhist monks, researcher Richard Davidson used electroencephalograph readings to prove that monks can generate gamma waves, which are associated with attention and learning, for minutes at a time; mere mortals can sustain a few seconds of gamma activity at best. The same monks also showed an unusual amount of activity in the left side of their prefrontal cortices, which are associated with positive feelings. Sure enough, the monks were startlingly alert and happy.

By Fred Phillips
From Coaches Training Blog

Health coach training should provide you with more questions than answers. We normally think that training provides students with answers, not questions. However, coaches should be asking questions, not providing all the answers. Any proper health coach training will not only provide you with skills, techniques, exercises, and methodology, it will also provide you with questions.

Life Coaching and Decisive Decision Making Skills

Life Coaching Tips for Better Decision Making Skills

In the business, as well personal world, we are besieged with choices that demand clear and precise decisions.  Some decisions are small while others are big, but in the end good and logical decision making skills are essential to a successful life.  Life Coaching can help one develop these social skills at a more acute level.
According the Community Counseling Clinic at Youngstown State University, one needs to ask questions to oneself about their previous decision making history before they properly develop future decision making skills.  Questions that delve into the recent history of decisions and their past outcomes to the process one has followed in the past.  Does one ask for other opinions before acting?  Has one in the past acted rash?
After this, it is encouraged to use the D-E-C-I-D-E approach.  First, Describe in writing the decision you need to make and identify the main issues.  Second, Elicit the opinions of others that you respect. Third, Consider the circumstances and alternatives of any given situation.  Fourth, Invest time in research and information gathering.  Obviously the time spent will correlate with the magnitude and importance of the decision. Fifth, Decide what the consequences will be and all possible outcomes.  Finally, Educate oneself with a log of the decision whether good or bad with explanations of the outcome.
As time proceeds, log your decisions and the outcome and see how you progress in your decision making process.  In some cases, intuition will play a major role.  I also recommend prayer for wisdom and understanding of the situation.

Can a Life Coach Help with Shyness?

Coaching Tips to Overcome Shyness

Life coaching these days goes well beyond merely the physical but also falls into the social sphere as well.  Coaches are equipped with more knowledge in psychology than ever before to supplement their already extensive knowledge of physical fitness and diets.
Shyness seems to be an overwhelming and crippling thing for many people.  It makes them invisible and prevents them not only from meeting a potential mate but also keeps them quiet during that important office meeting.  In today’s world, one must be seen and heard.
The Community Counseling Clinic out of Youngstown State University issued a brochure with some general tips to overcome shyness.
The brochure encourages shy individuals to make a list of some intimidating situations that scare a them.  Situations that are among the most noted are meeting a new person, asking questions in class, going to new places alone, or asking someone to dance.  When these situations are identified, the person should begin to visualize how they would like to react.  Literally the person should devise a plan on what they should have said the last time they were in that situation.  While this training is far from spontaneous, it is necessary in the early stages.
The key is building confidence.  By studying situations that make one tongue tied and creating solutions and practicing them, one can eventually make it become habitual.
From my experience, I would encourage individuals to also reflect on others and how they interact.  Does anyone consider them odd when they ask a question or talk to someone?  The reality is no one thinks much of it.  The imaginary spotlight that a shy person puts on him or herself is half the problem.
Still the crippling effect of shyness keeps many people on the sideline.  The ultimate question is do you wish to remain on that sideline or become part of the action?  Eventually with enough mental preparedness, you will grow tired of warming the bench and actually get into the game.

Hypnotherapy is a Gateway to the Subconscious.

Can Hypnosis Lead Into The Subconscious?

A picture of a spiritual looking head floating in the clouds with the moon orbiting it.
Is hypnosis the key to the subconscious?

Everyone has a subconscious mind which helps them throughout their lives.  But the question remains ;  what is the subconscious mind? The Subconscious mind can be considered as a store room which stores everything which is not present in the conscious mind. According to researchers, the subconscious mind stores all the data related to your previous life, beliefs, past memories, skills, situation which you faced and images associated with things which you must have seen somewhere in past. The finest method to understand the subconscious mind of a person is to consider an example of a person who is willing to learn how to drive a car. Initially, the learner will not be able to establish conversion with anyone else while driving the car as he would be concentrating on the various moves involved in driving a car. The reason behind this is that, the person is using his conscious mind to drive the car.
The Subconscious mind of a person is completely responsible for triggering emotions and feelings which a person experiences whenever he faces a new situation. If you need to give a presentation in front of board members then you will experience feelings of anxiety and fear. Such kind of feelings is controlled by the subconscious mind of a person.

If you want to use power of the subconscious mind in the best way then you need to understand the functioning of the subconscious mind.  The Subconscious mind of a person functions on many beliefs and emotions.

Hypnotherapists can access your subconscious mind.

Once you learn about these rules then you will be able to use the subconscious mind without  a lot of effort. In this article you will learn the method by which you can control the subconscious mind.
Have you ever wondered why people go through an emotional set back after facing hardship in something about which they had a strong belief or trust? For example, people are broken down after facing breakup in their relationship because they had false belief about the relation which was stored in their subconscious mind. It is important to get rid of such  beliefs which help you to forget your past and you can control your subconscious mind in a better way to utilize it in a best possible way. As soon as person erases such beliefs from the subconscious mind, he realizes that he can find another partner in his life who can replace the previous one and he can stay happy forever. In similar way, people can control their anger by controlling thoughts of the subconscious mind which drives the anger inside them.
To control the subconscious mind, you need to program your subconscious mind with new thoughts which will help you to overcome various problems and issues with your personality. Programming your subconscious mind will help you to prevent any undesirable problems in your life and you will be able to make your life smooth and comfortable.
Hypnosis is one of the tested and tried methods which can program the subconscious mind in an effective manner. The subconscious mind learns by repetition and doesn’t understand logical analysis easily. This is the reason that people convince others in an argument by repeating the facts again and again rather utilizing any logical facts. Use can use hypnosis to train your subconscious mind and live a happy life.
