The unencumbered spirit

Where psychology meets spirituality

  • The noise

    It’s easier to turn to the noise outside than to the truth inside you’re afraid to hear.

  • What Are We Seeking

    We are all wandering in this world searching for something. Everyone is. Sometimes we know what we want. Sometime we don’t. And sometimes we think we know what we want. But what is it, that thirsts us, that drives us, to chase some sort of desire or dream? What is this hunger to internally push…

  • Journey

    Sometimes it’s not the journey that’s special,but the people beside you who make it so worthwhile.

  • The Gift

    It is through the gift of divine gracethat we uncover the power to move beyond our own strength.
