"Mica is one of the kindest, most open hearted people I have ever worked with. He is caring and gentle, and has helped me work through years of emotional pain. He's helped me through some dark times, and really opened my eyes up to see the world in a much clearer light. My life has improved significantly since I started our sessions.  I am so glad I reached out, I only wish I had done it sooner. Thank you Mica!"    ~Paola G.

Spiritual Counseling for:

Depression, anxiety, grief and trauma, addiction, emotional blockages, spiritual crisis, finding greater life purpose, relationship issues, codependency, dissolving limiting beliefs and emotional patterns. Healing the mind/body connection through nutrition and detoxification processes.

Spiritual Counseling is a gentle process of deepening self awareness, healing emotional wounds, and uncovering greater self acceptance and love. My approach is based on the spiritual teachings of Eckhart Tolle, whose work has helped countless people around the world. And because there is a strong connection between the mind, emotions, and body, I also integrate my 20+ years of experience with nutrition and natural healing to help clients reclaim their full vitality and physical health through diet, lifestyle choices, guided meditations, visualizations, somatic release work, and breathing techniques.

Awakening to Who You Truly Are

There is a deeper flow to life than what most people experience on the surface of their lives. Most people are hypnotized by the voice in the mind and take their emotional reactions at face value.  The mind and emotions, however,  are merely transient and limited expressions of who we are. Who we are in our essence, is the consciousness that is having the human experience. Yet, when your identity is tied up with what you think, feel, and the state of your physical body, then you often feel a sense of limitation, doubt, anxiety, depression, and confusion. By learning to dis-identify from the mind and emotions, you can uncover a deeper awareness of who you truly are. This is done through meditation, mindful awareness practices, and deepening self-awareness.

Though it can help to have guidance and support for this process (which is the service that i offer), it is not essential. All that is required is for you to become aware of, and to dissolve, these conditioned patterns of identifying with your mind, emotions, and body, allowing yourself to reconnect to who you are in your essence. There are numerous techniques and tools that you can employ on your journey back towards wholeness. As a spiritual counselor, I offer guidance for utilizing the teachings of Eckhart Tolle, and also include guided meditation, healing visualizations, mindful awareness practices, breathing techniques, nutritional guidance, using positive affirmation and intention, and various other practices for dissolving limiting and negative patterns.

In addition, having gone through a physical healing following my awakening experience, I have spent years studying the connection that exists between the mind, emotions and body.  There is a feedback loop that exists between all of these parts of the self, and when change is enacted in one area, it often effects the health and wellbeing of the entire system.  When a person lets go of repressed emotional pain, for instance, it is not uncommon to experience healing from a physical disease that had previously seemed incurable. I experienced this firsthand through my own healing from emotional trauma and a physical disease (ulcerative colitis) I was challenged with for eight years. Conversely, when a person begins detoxifying and healing the body, it can often trigger a release of repressed emotions, and a consequent positive shift in the person's perceptions of themselves and life. I discovered these tools of working with the mind, emotions, and body through my own healing journey, and have since shared this process in my book, Healing through Awakening.

Spiritual Counseling and Eckhart Tolle

The teachings of Eckhart Tolle are a culmination of what many spiritual teachers have taught throughout the ages, which is that the very nature of the mind is dysfunctional and creates suffering through the mechanism that we refer to as the ego.  But there are three principles you can begin to practice in your life now which can liberate you from this mind-made suffering; non-resistance, non-reaction, and non-judgment. By not resisting what life presents to you, not creating negative reactions, and not judging life situations, yourself or others, you begin to de-energize the ego.  This opens up space in your awareness to connect with a deeper aspect of who you are beyond your mind.

Healing Through Nutrition and Detoxification

Most people have a build-up of toxins in the body due to a lifetime of eating a diet not suited for their constitution, eating in excess, as well as from the toxins in the food, water, and air.  By following the principles of Ayurveda and Chinese medicine, you can return your body to a greater state of homeostasis.  In addition, certain detoxification processes help release stored emotional toxicity from the body as well.  My book, "Healing through Awakening," is a comprehensive guide for the process of healing the mind, emotions, and body through right diet, nutrition, and energy practices.  I love to guide clients through this process and see just how transformative it can be for them!

Gut Health and Mental Health

An emerging field of science, called neurogastroenterology, studies the relationship between the gut and the brain, seeking to understand how the two interact.  The science shows that there exists a profound connections between gut health and neurological functioning.  It has been estimated that roughly 80-90% of your body's total serotonin production occurs in the gut, as well as roughly 75% of your body's total immune cell production.  This more holistic model of health places gut health as a foundational element of overall mental and emotional wellbeing.  Healing the intestinal lining, then, becomes paramount as natural treatments for depression, and natural treatments for anxiety.

Becoming a Spiritual Counselor

I often get asked how I got into this field, and how to become a spiritual counselor or spiritual therapist. Spiritual Counseling is a great path for someone who wants to help others heal, find greater meaning in their lives, and live more fully from their hearts. While there are many different programs that can prepare a person for doing this type of work, the real determining factor for a person's success is cultivating self awareness and wisdom within.  You can only truly help another to the degree to which you've first helped yourself.  Everything you put out into the world is an expression of your state of consciousness, and so you must go through the transformation yourself first, before hoping to provide it for another.  The teachings of Eckhart Tolle are what served as the catalyst for me and my path to become a spiritual therapist or spiritual coach.  Find your truth, find your teacher, and be willing to let go and trust in the Intelligence of the Universe. Rather than thinking of this as a career path, think of it as a way of life.  I often guide people to begin investigating the nature of consciousness and life itself, before thinking about degrees or credentials.  These are just some thoughts mixed in with some keywords so the google bots can help those in need of energy healing, eckhart tolle related things, and spiritual counseling find my services! So good to be transparent! :) :) :)
