Spiritual Growth

The benefits of spiritual growth and increased self-awareness show in many areas of life. Spiritual, when interpreted in the widest sense, means having a sense of purpose and meaning. Not living life in an over-detached way, or in a vacuum.

Self growth means the greater self-knowledge that brings the ability to live more creatively, make positive decisions and find joy and fulfilment. The spiritually orientated, self-knowledgeable person usually enjoys more positive mental and emotional adjustment and better physical health and well-being.

Training the energy body helps in spiritual awareness and furthers the ability to meditate and cross thresholds in life. It is an essential basis for all who wish to be healers or to communicate with their own guides.

A Correspondence Course

Tailored to individual needs, and provides a programme of:

• Meditation
• Reflection
• Breathing exercises
• Writing and Drawing exercises
• Work with chakras

Working with individual chakras and groups of chakras is recommended, and guided, in order to strengthen the energetic body, and also the ability to make spiritual connections. The programme is based on regular assignments.

Initially for assessment purposes, you are asked for a life review, in not more than 3,000 words. This provides the basis for designing an individual syllabus, which includes work on:

• spiritual key words
• teaching
• advice
• insight and interpretation from Gildas
• consideration of karma
• blockages and obstacles encountered
• keeping a spiritual and dream journal.

You can choose the pace and depth at which you work, and the amount of time you give to your assignments.

Cost and Commitment

Cost per session: £50

You are asked to commit to at least 6 sessions of work, and to make a non-refundable deposit of £100 for the first 2 sessions in advance. Thereafter, you may pay session by session at the time of your appointment. Although the initial commitment is for 6 sessions, you will probably find that following the course for 12 - 18 sessions or longer will bring the greatest fulfilment.

A regular appointment is made with Ruth and Gildas, which can be monthly, 6 weekly or every 2 months. You will be given each appointment day and time in advance, and are asked to make sure that your notes on each month's work arrive in time, either by mail, fax or email. You are asked to tune in for at least the first 15 minutes of your session. Ruth and Gildas spend about 1.5 to 2 hours evaluating your progress and outlining your work for the following month.
