Anabell Ariyah

Psycho-spiritual integration is…. recognizing oneself as a spiritual being living a physical life on a material planet in a social context in a complex society as a member of evolving humanity in relationship with nature … while psychologically harmonizing all these aspects in one coherent psychic activity.

My own personal life has proven a solid and reliable path of self-purification and self-transformation on all levels of consciousness. It emphasizes the importance of recognizing, accepting, learning to know, and ultimately transforming our shadow side. It helps us understand that through honest self-examination, with carefully applied tools and practices, we can overcome and remove the inner obstacles that keep us from living fully from and in our true nature. The typical concepts that Anabell Ariyah’s Creation Activation tools empower us to explore and transform within ourselves are:

• Higher Self – your God self
• Lower Self – subconscious mind
• Past life trauma
• DNA you chose to take on from your family tree you chose this life
• Mask
• Wound
• Defense
• Limitation – fear
• Idealized self-image
• Inner critic

What does psycho-spirituality mean, explained differently?

Psycho-spirituality is the merging of spirituality and psychology. It’s the perfect amalgamation of science and believing in the mysteries of the universe. The combination of these two things can help you to not only uncover the problems you battle mentally every day, but it can also help you better understand those things and find meaning or clarity around them.

Spirituality on its own can encourage things such as repression, avoidance or naivety as you are always thinking about the bigger picture and never about yourself personally. Instead of dealing with your issues head-on, you may find that you are always running away from your problems and chalking it up to living a more spiritual life. For example, a meditation on its own doesn’t do anything other than relax you temporarily. In high stress or anxious situations, that’s great, but on a deeper level, it’s like putting a band-aid on an open wound and expecting everything to be fine.

However, meditation with intention, with the knowledge gained from looking at things from a psychological perspective, will be much more beneficial to your long-term mental health and wellbeing. Spirituality is the medicine, but psychology is the diagnosis and you can’t pick the right medicine if you don’t know what’s wrong to begin with.

How can psychology work with spirituality?

Psychology is the science of the mind and gives us answers as to why we think and behave in certain ways. It is the study of both the conscious and subconscious mind, something I’ve delved even deeper into since becoming a tarot reader.

On its own, psychology can help us to dig out what is wrong or what is causing the issues we face on a conscious level. Just like we go to our local doctor if we have pain or physical sickness, we go to a psychiatrist when we are struggling with our mental or emotional health. A psychiatrist then figures out the cause of your issues, showing you why you are the way you are and bringing clarity to why you think, feel or behave in the ways you do.

It is commonly used to describe a wide range of therapeutic systems which embrace a spiritual dimension of the human being as fundamental to psychic health and full human development and which utilize both psychological and spiritual methods (such as meditation, yoga, dream-weaving, affirm – prayer, breathwork, visualization) in a holistic, integrated … in the physical, mental, spiritual, heart and soul level. In all areas of your beingness as a starbeing in human form you are. I hope I could give you some clarity in my interwoven work.
