PSYCHOSYNTHESIS |
|
Psychosynthesis is a comprehensive approach to
self-realization and the development of human
potential. The essential aim of psychosynthesis is
to help people discover their true spiritual nature,
then to effectively utilize this discovery in
everyday life. Psychosynthesis helps us to realize
our creative potential, increase our ability to
function harmoniously in the modern world, and
improve the quality of all our relationships.
Psychosynthesis is a particular kind of
psychotherapy, yet it is more than psychotherapy. It
is a collection of techniques and exercises designed
to help us move away from what we don't want in our
lives and towards what we do. It is not just a
theory, but is a practical, working method that
integrates principles and techniques from many
approaches to personal growth. Unlike some other
therapies, however, it has no fixed idea of what
someone 'should' be like - indeed, with
Psychosynthesis, it is quite the contrary. It is
only successful when we have become more what we
want to be like. This is not in the sense of
gratifying unbalanced or partial desires, but when
we have become more able to be ourselves in whatever
situation we find ourselves, and to do what we want
to do when we tune into our innermost sense of self
and purpose. |
