Spiritual Development
Seeing clearly changes our relationship to things as they are
Besides my work as a Licensed Professional Counselor, I have been a Dharmacharya (Minister) of the Embracing Simplicity Contemplative Order since 2016. Resources in the ministerial role are freely available and listed below.
For help with mindfulness, grounding, sleep and reduced anxiety: I have a few recorded meditations on Insight Timer, with plans to offer a weekly LIVE meditation option soon. Visit https://insighttimer.com/revchristie
