Okay, so you know I’ve been on this whole “self-discovery” kick lately, right? Been feeling a little lost and like I need to, you know, level up my understanding of myself and others. That’s where the whole spiritual psychology certification thing came in.
First things first: I started by just googling around. “Spiritual psychology certification,” “best spiritual psychology courses,” that kind of thing. I must’ve spent a solid week just wading through websites and reading reviews. It was a total info overload, but I knew I needed to find something legit, not some fly-by-night operation.
Then, I narrowed down my choices. I was looking for a program that wasn’t too crazy expensive (let’s be real, life is pricey enough), had a good curriculum, and, most importantly, resonated with me. Like, did the vibe of the website feel right? Did the instructors seem like people I could actually learn from? That sort of thing.
I enrolled! It felt like a big commitment, but also super exciting. The course was online, which was perfect for my schedule, but it also meant I had to be really disciplined about carving out time each week to actually do the work.
The first few modules were all about the basics. Like, what is spiritual psychology, anyway? We covered different theories, historical figures, and core concepts. Honestly, it was a bit dry at first, but it laid the groundwork for the really juicy stuff later on.
Then came the personal work. And let me tell you, that was where things got real. We had to do all sorts of exercises: meditation, journaling, self-reflection prompts… basically, all the stuff I usually avoid because it feels “too touchy-feely.” But I pushed myself to really engage with it, and I was surprised at how much I learned about myself.
There was a lot of discussion about things like shadow work, which is basically confronting the parts of yourself that you don’t like to acknowledge. It was tough, but also incredibly liberating. I started to see patterns in my behavior that I’d never noticed before, and I began to understand why I react to certain situations the way I do.
The course also covered practical skills for working with others. Things like active listening, empathy, and holding space for people’s emotions. We did role-playing exercises where we practiced these skills, and it was definitely awkward at first, but it helped me feel more confident about using these tools in real life.
Of course, there were challenges along the way. There were weeks where I felt overwhelmed and like I just wanted to give up. There were times when I felt like I was digging up stuff from my past that I’d rather just leave buried. But I kept reminding myself why I started this journey in the first place, and I kept pushing through.
And now? Well, I finished the certification! Honestly, it feels amazing. I don’t know exactly what I’m going to do with it yet, but I feel like I have a much deeper understanding of myself and the world around me. I’m more compassionate, more present, and more equipped to navigate the ups and downs of life.
- It helped me learn so much about myself.
- Taught me better ways to connect with people.
- Made me want to live a more thoughtful life.
