A Spiritual Approach to Living

From the minute we are born to the moment of our dying, we are engaged on a spiritual journey whose purpose is to teach us more about ourselves and the reality of being alive. Life is a precious gift. It's also tough and none of us is going to make the journey unscathed. If we live life fully, we will all encounter pain and suffering. Hopefully we will also find love and experience joy and serenity.

We do not advocate or teach a specific spiritual practice. But we are deeply committed to Love and Truth. The Frome Healing Practice has evolved as a way of sharing what we have learned and gained with others who are also drawn to a spiritual approach to living.

Spiritual Guidance
This provides us with an opportunity to think about who we are and why we're here. What makes us suffer? What makes us happy? What is our purpose in life? Sometimes we know something is missing but we can't put into words what we?re looking for.

We may want to know more about God, Spirit, death, religion, spirituality, reincarnation, karma, enlightenment, coincidence, illness, the nature of good and evil, out of body experiences, ghosts, spiritual teachers, finding a spiritual path. The questions are many, the answers are probably quite simple once we have a helpful discussion with someone who knows the terrain and is also making the journey.

Alongside Healing and Counselling, Charles offers Spiritual Guidance. Alternatively, you may wish to join us for meditation, reflection and contemplation, or to borrow a book from our library.

Regular Meditation
This helps us to become more fully ourselves and to enjoy the wonder and blessing of the ever deepening journey towards self understanding. Whenever possible on Monday evenings, we hold an open meditation evening when others are welcome to join us in the stillness. Meditating as part of a group can strength our own practice, especially when we find it hard to keep focused and motivated.

Reflection and Contemplation
Time spent in the peace and quiet makes it possible to reconnect with ourselves free from the usual distractions of daily life. Every six weeks, we hold a day of silent retreat. Our Days of Peace and Quiet offer a simple structure with ample opportunity for reflection and contemplation. This is time to take it easy and be looked after in a house and garden dedicated to healing and meditation.

During the Day, you will be able to take a step back from life and drink deeply from the well-spring of peace and unconditional love which lie at the heart of all healing.

Reading a Spiritual Book
This can help to keep us anchored in the Dharma (or truth) in a very practical, down-to-earth way. The books might contain a specific teaching or a series of reflections or an account of a person's life or a story. We may want to read them from cover to cover or simply dip in and out of them. Our library of spiritual books draws on a variety of spiritual traditions. The books are there to be read and borrowed.
