The Ancient Practice of Spiritual Direction

Spiritual direction (also known as spiritual companionship or friendship) is an ancient contemplative practice of lovingly accompanying another as they explore their inner life. Rather than “direct” or act as an expert with all the answers, this type of support takes whatever the individual brings to a session and is supported in discovering a spiritual life that personally resonates. Lauren Phelps is a spiritual director who creates a safe, welcoming, and non-judgmental space where people of all ages and backgrounds can explore their spirituality and discover deeper meaning in their lives.

“Those who consider themselves spiritual-but-not-religious, who have felt marginalized by traditional religion or those who feel they don’t fit into a particular tradition and long to have in-depth conversations about their unique sense of the spiritual are the ones who feel drawn to this type of service,” shares Phelps. She welcomes seekers of all religions, ethnicities, and sexual orientations.

Phelps’ eclectic background of study is multi-faith and embraces those of all spiritual traditions or no particular tradition. She has also practiced meditation, primarily in the Insight meditation tradition, for over 30 years. As a certified mindfulness meditation leader, she can provide one-on-one meditation instruction and guidance both within the spiritual direction context and as a standalone offering to individuals and groups.

Sessions occur every 2-4 weeks via Zoom for one hour. First session is complimentary. Subsequent sessions are $50. For more information, call 267-415-6168 or email laurenphelps@icloud.com.

Discover Stress Relief with Hypnosis

Hypnosis Counseling Center

Flemington/Princeton - You’re anxious, sleepless, or you find yourself avoiding people or necessary tasks. You want to quit smoking. You need to lose weight.

Wouldn’t we all like to be more relaxed and healthier in some way? We can be. Imagine sleeping well, eating well, or putting down the cigarette habit for good without anxiety, weight gain, or mood swings. Whatever your situation is, hypnosis can dramatically improve the quality of your life.

Panic attacks and anxiety disorders can manifest themselves in physical symptoms such as stomach pains or insomnia, or behaviors like avoidance or extreme shyness. Nicotine addiction and unwanted weight can both lead to a frustrating roller coaster ride of hope and disappointment. Regardless of the issue, you can discover what thousands of others have already learned: Hypnosis offers a painless path to freedom and change.

Hypnosis is a safe, medically approved method of behavior modification therapy, and it really works. Whether you’ve got 20 pounds you want to lose or your self-esteem needs a boost, hypnosis counseling can make a difference for you.

The Hypnosis Counseling Center has been helping people change their lives for the better for over 35 years. Group classes are offered at over 35 adult schools and recreation centers throughout New Jersey to help people quit smoking and lose weight. Individual counseling is available for those who want to manage stress or overcome anxiety, poor confidence, insomnia, low self esteem, migraine headaches, or poor work and study habits.

To find out more, please visit HypnosisCounselingCenter.com or contact Barry Wolfson at 908-3037767. Offices are located at 28 Mine St., Flemington and 43 Tamarack Circle, Princeton. Skype and Zoom appointments are also available.
