What Does It Mean to Be a Spiritual Person?

People often confuse spirituality with religion! We can be both spiritual & religious, but it is also possible to be religious without being spiritual'. Who we are as humans is made up of Body, Mind and Spirit. Our lives seem to assume a default position and focus and feed our minds and bodies automatically. But what of our Spiritual dimension? Often we just leave this aspect of who we are out, misunderstand and neglect it. For some, Spirituality has been modelled by hierarchies, churches, institutions or sects. It has often meant rules, regulations, power, control or manipulation etc., For others - their religious education or upbringing, the church crimes against humanity, has left a sour taste about anything to do with spirituality so we just leave out this vital component of our identity. Full Life Therapy values the spiritual component of our human identity. We offer Pastoral Counselling and Spiritual direction to help you reconnect with a loving God, a wholesome love of self and others.

The Suicide Epidemic

Most often the human cry for happiness and meaning is also a plea for love; to be loved and to love authentically. It is also a cry for inner adjustment and connected-ness with others from a heart that feels deprived of life-giving relationships. This interesting article is worthy of our attention. It is not just in the US that the Epidemic of Suicide is rampant. It is a global symptom and the catalyst is dis-connection. At Full Life Therapy we value our work with people whose lives have unravelled - for whatever reason. We are here to help you get through the 'mess' and back on the path towards becoming fully alive!

As we begin another year, and the busyness of 2016 Christmas & New Year has subsided, Full Life Therapy would like to wish all our local and international community and friends a deeply rewarding, fulfilling 2017. Most of us don't stop to consider what dominates our thinking or maybe do not recognise the importance of reflecting on what thoughts are taking up space in our minds. Are our thoughts positive, negative, fearful, joyful, hopeful, purposeful or futile and full of discontent? If our future is determined largely by our thoughts, taking time to recognise what takes up most of our thoughts, is vitally important. Self reflection and our ruthless honesty will help us begin to activate new, genuine and positive thoughts that lead to a more enriching way of thinking that leads to a life filled with hope and purpose. If our thoughts are settled on the negative, past let downs, circumstances out of our control, what we 'can't have' or loss - then life will be dull, lack lustre and full of bitterness, regret and self-recrimination. Our inner beauty will be dulled and enthusiasm about ourselves and our future will become non existent. These thoughts make it extremely difficult to see a future of possibilities, the good, the different, the solution side of life. In order to genuinely enjoy this one life we do have, we need to choose another pattern of thinking that does lead to a rich full life. It can be done! www.fulllifetherapy.com

I wonder how many of us perceive failure or what it means to fail? It is said to mean an unsuccessful person or thing. (Dictionary states: a loser, born loser, incompetent, non-achiever, underachiever, ne'er-do-well, disappointment, write-off). Harsh words indeed for a person who has either done the best they could or not bothered doing their best because they were unable to meet the expectations of a person, household, school or workplace. I have never met anyone who wanted to or set out to fail. If I am honest I can declare that I have been an outstanding failure as i reflect on the times I failed well in spite of my best efforts! Sound familiar? But, it has been these times of angst, heartache, embarassment or humiliation that I have actually found wings to fly and eventually soar above the debris of these 'perceived failures.' If we look at many great men and women who failed greatly during their lives, we learn how it led them onto finer, greater things. (Nelson Mandela, Ghandi, JK Rowlings, Steve Jobs, Jesus Christ, Richard Branson to name a few). Full Life Therapy believes that great character can be forged out of failure. We empower people who are facing challenges in their lives, to be resilient, persistent, and constantly looking to learn from mistakes. True failure is not the falling down but the staying down and a fresh start can be attained at any moment we choose - the choice is ours, however.

Sometimes the busyness of our lives can be overwhelming. Stress, demands and exhaustion can become the 'norm'. As a young (er) mum there were times that I would fall into bed at night and wonder how I was going to fit it all in again the next day. At this time 2 teenagers were preparing to complete High School, work/ business and financial pressures were overwhelming, caring for an aging parent with accelerating dementia and more .... life was hectic. The stress was often palpable. Looking back on this time, I cringe. There was no quality time spent with anyone - just ongoing frantic busyness. For this reason Full Life Therapy developed a weekend away for women to chill, refresh and revitalise far from the madding crowd. There is so much pressure on women to perform. Increasing work demands plus home life and family responsibilities often causes guilt, unrealistic expectations of self and a loss of authentic identity. Is it time to consider a break from the fast paced, frantic and often exhausting to attend a weekend away? This is a special time that we have carved out just for you- to stop, refresh and rejuvenate on the beautiful Dingle Peninsula. Women can expect nourishment for the body, mind and spirit amid the awe inspiring beauty in this region. Hotel accommodation and all meals will be included for these weekends.
