I am also the creator of <a href=\"https:\/\/espirited.com\/en\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">espirited.com<\/a>, a website dedicated to the relationship between mental health and spiritual development. The site reflects the essence of my work as a psychotherapist \u2013 my deep interest in matters of the soul and its care.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>I believe that psychology, as the science of the human soul, has been given the unique role of mediating between abstract spiritual ideas and their embodiment in everyday life. This arises from the duality inherent in living in the material world. If this duality is not taken into account, and if an individual approach is not applied to each person in their specific life situation, even the most exalted spiritual values can become a source of psychic shadow and give rise to their opposite.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>In this sense, the role of psychology is indispensable \u2013 it serves as a form of applied spirituality. It does so by helping us understand how opposites operate within the psyche and how they can be united into a third position, which constitutes a new step in the evolution of personality. In my experience, this third position embodies the qualities of wisdom, love, and truth. This program, devoted to the soul and its care, is dedicated to cultivating these qualities: wisdom, love, and truth.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][\/vc_section][vc_section full_width=&#8221;stretch_row&#8221; el_class=&#8221;about-program&#8221; el_id=&#8221;program-idea&#8221;][vc_row][vc_column][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;100px&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column]<div class=\"title title-white fs-15  align-right montserrat fw-900-normal uppercase\">How this program was born<\/div>[\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=&#8221;3\/4&#8243;][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;35px&#8221;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221; el_class=&#8221;white&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"337\" data-end=\"744\">The idea for the Program emerged after two one-month online group trainings, which proved deeply inspiring both for me and for the participants.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"337\" data-end=\"744\">The core of the assignments was born during the first group. It was a highly creative, yet at the same time very demanding process for me. During the second group, the framework of the Program finally took shape, and I added the accompanying reading texts.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"746\" data-end=\"1319\">After these two groups had finished, I knew that I had succeeded in distilling and articulating the essence of a significant part of my professional experience. I began to see the relationship between emotional and spiritual intelligence in a new light. Before these two groups, I experienced them as two different kinds of intelligence. However, through the process of writing the texts, I realised that they are, in fact, one and the same thing, expressed on different levels. This same source is desire, which arises both from the empirical self (ego) and from the soul.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1321\" data-end=\"1617\">The result is a classic training Program with structured assignments and accompanying texts that deepen understanding in an organic way, showing how the different elements of the human psyche \u2013 such as desires, emotions, thoughts, sensations, behaviour, and intuition \u2013 interact with one another.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1619\" data-end=\"2158\">I am aware that working with these assignments on your own \u2013 without sharing your insights in a group and without my feedback on each assignment, as happens in a group process \u2013 may be less inspiring. At the same time, I know that the texts are valuable in their own right, and that you can benefit greatly from practising them on your own. I believe that if the reader\u2019s mind resonates with what I have written, and one commits to the daily mindfulness practice, the beneficial impact of the Program will inevitably be felt in one\u2019s life.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2160\" data-end=\"2355\">This is precisely why I created the 29 Days Program \u2013 out of my belief that there are others, like the participants in these two groups, for whom the care of the soul is the most important thing.<\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;35px&#8221;][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner el_class=&#8221;inline-buttons&#8221;]<div class=\"button-wrap left \"><a href=\"https:\/\/espirited.com\/en\/to-hear-the-voice-of-the-soul-group\/\" class=\"button white\"  target=\"_blank\">To Hear the Voice of The Soul<\/a><\/div><div class=\"button-wrap left \"><a href=\"https:\/\/espirited.com\/en\/desire-and-the-soul-29-day-online-group\/\" class=\"button white\"  target=\"_blank\">Desire and The Soul<\/a><\/div>[\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/4&#8243;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;80px&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][\/vc_section][vc_section full_width=&#8221;stretch_row&#8221; el_class=&#8221;quote-section&#8221; el_id=&#8221;about-comments&#8221;][vc_row][vc_column][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;50px&#8221;]<div class=\"title title-blue fs-15  align-left montserrat fw-900-normal uppercase\">Feedback from participants<\/div>[vc_empty_space height=&#8221;50px&#8221;]<div class=\"qoutes-carousel \"><div class=\"quote-wrap style-2 \"><div class=\"quote-content\"><span>\u201c<\/span>I experienced a wondrous spiritual journey, I touched treasures that were a secret to me until now.

I joined the group with the desire to become a better parent to myself. To learn how to translate the voice of my inner child in a way that does not destroy but develops further my relationship both with her and the world. And the magic began&#8230; I fell in love with the real possibility of becoming a more responsible and sensible adult, instead of being a small whining child. I fell in love with seeing how change is possible even for the little things!

In it, an experienced surgeon put me on an operating table and performed a fine dissection of my body, mind and soul, but also demanded that I join the operation and insisted that its successful outcome depended on me. I began the \u201csurgery\u201d with the feeling that I was living my life only in my thoughts, that I had amputated important parts of myself because I did not know how to find painless ways to express and share them. And I found many ways to do this\u2026 The texts were always the most accurate and spot-on, and I would read and re-read them many times!\u2026<span>\u201d<\/span><\/div><div class=\"author\"><span>Petia<\/span><\/div><\/div><div class=\"quote-wrap style-2 \"><div class=\"quote-content\"><span>\u201c<\/span>I read my first comment, and I was surprised to find that I achieved what I had set as a wish 28 days ago. I did not expect that my stubborn mind could be susceptible to change. My desire was to become aware so I could handle the torments of the awakened Kundalini in my body, and I realized that I had achieved it. I will no longer freak out and panic when I start to lose control due to pain and suffering.

I can stay in touch with my emotions, as only when I am in touch with them can I hear the message they are sending.

My daily practice of the assignments has planted the seeds of awareness of how my mental processes are interrelated, how they interact and how to manage them\u2026 There have been many and different profoundly transformative insights for which I still cannot find the right words.

Just reading them put me in a state of relaxation and delight. And at peace with what life was offering at that moment\u2026 I started the group with a desire to improve my work relationships. In addition to this desire already being realized, a space for a new mindset has opened up within me\u2026 to exist from a state of abundance rather than scarcity.

And I am ready to counteract it with another desire \u2013 for development, for putting in purposeful, conscious work, for a choice driven by spiritual values.
