Spiritual Counseling & Practical Prayer sessions with Rev. Bill
Our beliefs create our experience of life. When we are dissatisfied with any aspect of life - be it...
- health and vitality
- prosperity and enough-ness
- love and connection
- the way we share our gifts with the world
- or something else...
there is very likely a belief at work that is hidden below our conscious awareness.
Rev. Bill works with you one-on-one to discover those hidden beliefs and replace them with ones that will tend to bring more of the Good you seek into your life.
Each session includes a personal Practical Prayer to activate the Truth of who you are as individualized expressions of Spirit. Through practice of this scientific form of prayer, we enter an energetic vibration that anchors our awareness in our essential perfection and oneness with the I Am Presence of the Self, and invite a new experience of Life.
Three, six, and twelve-session packages include free follow-up via email or text between sessions. Unused sessions expire after 18 months.
All session will be scheduled at a mutually agreeable time, via Zoom, phone or in-person.
