SWAHA

SPIRITUAL WELLNESS AND HEALING ASSOCIATES

SWAHA is a Sanskrit word that suggests bowing to, or saluting, the all-encompassing Divine. We chose it as our acronym because SWAHA is dedicated to helping individuals achieve a complete, thriving spiritual life and optimal physical wellness--each of which reinforces the other. We draw on a variety of spiritual practices and natural healing modalities, employed by well trained professionals.

Spiritual Wellness:

Research shows that engaging in religious or spiritual practice is a boon to overall health and well-being—-but only if your spiritual life is free of dysfunction and it suits your personality and circumstances. Conversely, optimal health and mind-body balance are essential for spiritual development. SWAHA services are dedicated to:

- Helping individuals develop a healthy, grounded spirituality, regardless of their beliefs, faith or tradition
- Providing skilled, natural, professional healthcare modalities to help clients heal acute and chronic ailments, reduce stress and achieve balance.
- Helping couples and families resolve religious and spiritual conflict
- Helping groups create an environment conducive to spiritual well-being and harmony

With our practical, real-life approach, you can reap the many rewards of Spiritual Wellness: more joy, more love, more peace, more balance, more fulfillment, more wholeness, more life -- and, ultimately, union with the divine.

COUNSELING

Private sessions, in person and by telephone, combining the insights of modern psychology and universal spiritual principles. Whether you are a new seeker looking for the right entry point or a spiritual veteran who has run into roadblocks, SWAHA’s integrative approach will empower you to:

- Take charge of your spiritual destiny and navigate your unique path

QUINTESSENTIAL STRESS BUSTING

Excessive stress not only destroys health, it can poison every aspect of individual and organizational life. Our holistic approach to stress management utilizes powerful, proven techniques for the mind, body, emotions, relationships and spirit.

MEDITATION INSTRUCTION

Hundreds of scientific studies have found meditation to be effective for calming the body and quieting the mind. Whether you are interested in a health-promoting way to relax or a deep spiritual practice you can do regularly on your own, the simple but powerful form of meditation we teach will give you what you need. Anyone can meditate—all you need is proper instruction and follow-up.

The swan is the symbol of Spiritual Wellness and Healing Associates. It stands for:

- Gliding on the waters of life with serenity, dignity and grace

- The magnificent beauty that the ugly duckling within us attains when we realize our true nature

- Spiritual discernment; in India, it is said that a swan, given a mixture of milk and water, can drink only the milk
