Spiritual Arts Practitioners
OIIM Ordained Ministers and Spiritual Practitioners are trained in helping skills and Spiritual Counselling techniques. As Registered Spiritual Counsellors through OIIM, Ministers and practitioners offer members and clients professional counselling and helping techniques as well as various holistic wellness and spiritual techniques that enable the client to understand their challenges from a spiritual perspective. We infuse the counselling sessions with spiritual principles and techniques, empowering clients to use their own resources while deepening their connection to the Divine. We do not ‘fix’ clients as no fix is needed from a spiritual perspective. We do not view clients as having problems as all experiences are seen as part of one’s life journey in the physical. Our role is to help bring that life purpose into clearer perception.
What is Spiritual Counselling?
There is one fundamental element that makes spiritual counselling different from traditional types of counselling - That is the belief in a greater power - a belief in God. No matter what we call this power - the super consciousness, the great mystery - it is a belief in God that can bring order to chaos. It is the understanding that there is a unifying influence in the universe, a purposefulness that helps the Spiritual Counsellor stand apart. Coming from this fundamental belief in God, the Spiritual Counsellor’s approach starts with a few basic assumptions:
1) Once we embrace the concept of a non-physical entity called God, then it becomes easier for us to accept the belief that we are souls - Spirit - encased in a physical body. That we are eternal and infinite. A natural part of this understanding is the belief that there is an unseen world that interacts with our own in some way. Spiritual counselling deals with the individual as a soul in a physical body limited by the physical world. This means the counsellor recognizes you as an eternal soul dealing with the challenges of a physical existence.
2) Life is purposeful. A belief in God brings order to the chaos by helping us understand that life is purposeful. That all of our experiences are meaningful. That everything is connected and that things happen for reasons. Throughout our lives we are provided with opportunities to learn and grow not only on a physical conscious level but on a spiritual level. For us, a basic part of this is the understanding that all aspects of our life is a function of choice. As Spirits - before birth - we choose our families and the circumstances into which we were born to allow ourselves the challenges that we have chosen for this life. There are no mistakes - only opportunities. Remember a physical existence is the great classroom. The Spiritual Counsellor helps you, a living soul discover the purposefulness in events and challenges.
3) As an extension of our understanding that life is purposeful is the understanding that we live in a free will universe. That means that we get to choose our path and make what appears to be mistakes and grow. If things were preordained there would be no value in living a life. Right action must come from choice. If there was no free choice then how could life be purposeful - how could we learn. This means that the Spiritual Counsellor can empower you to take charge of your life - to see things in a light that is growth promoting and no longer victimizing.
What is a Spiritual Reading?
A spiritual medium has developed his or her ability to work with the subtle unseen forces of the spirit realms - they are able to tap into those skills that are a natural part of being a soul. All counsellors work with their intuition. All counsellors gain insight from the unseen world even when they do not believe that world exists. It is the spiritual medium that works with their psychic or spirit gifts consciously allowing it to be a tool to help others.
The two processes are different but have a number of similar elements.
* The basic difference is that in a reading you do not share with the counsellor the issues or the problem. Spirit knows why you are there and addresses the issues in your live with a vision to the future. Spirit talks about the past, the present and the future. The important thing to note is that you are a passive participant listening to the insight that Spirit brings to you. Unless there are special circumstances, a reading is only needed once a year. It takes time to translate a reading’s insight into action.
* In a counselling session, you are an active participant. You discuss your feelings, fears, dreams, and issues with the counsellor. Our role is to reflect back to you what you know deep inside, to challenge you to look at issues in different ways, to look to the source of the issues, and help you to find solutions. It can be a good follow up to a reading and a good closure to a number of counselling sessions.
What is Spiritual Healing?
Spiritual healing has been a part of all cultures and religions for centuries. Our therapists are trained in numerous vibrational healing modalities such as Reiki Healing, Seiki Healing, Therapeutic Touch, Crystal Healing, Laying on of Hands, etc. The therapist draws on the therapy that best suits you. You will sits in a comfortable chair, close your eyes, enjoys relaxing music while the therapists channels spiritual energy where your auric field indicates it is needed. A full session is 20 to 30 minutes. Usually our other sessions begin with a mini spiritual healing.The way spiritual healing works is best described by the Spirit Guide, David George, through the mediumship Rev. Barry King. At one of our chanelling sessions, David George said, “healing flows from Spirit, through Spirit, to Spirit,” affecting the spirit need of the recipient, be it mind, body, emotion or spirit. The healing is directed from Spirit/God through the healing medium/practitioner to the recipient.
What is Spiritual Direction?
Spiritual Direction engages you in processes that help to deepen your connection to the Divine. This may include prayer, meditation, yogic breathing, crystal healing, suggested readings of sacred texts, affirmations, etc.

Myths about Spiritual Arts Practitioners
• Mediums raise the dead - Contrary to this popular belief, Spiritual Mediums cannot raise the dead; nor can they call the dead up at will. A Spiritual Medium simply opens up to receive a spirit communication and those on the other side come to the Spiritual Medium when they are ready, willing and able to do so.
• Mediums are fortune tellers – Spiritual Mediums cannot tell fortunes. The personal choices people make create the future. What Spiritual Mediums can see are the potential ramifications of particular choices and actions and suggest new ways of addressing challenges.
• Mediums have all the answers - This is incorrect. It is the role of a Spiritual Medium (as well as the Spiritual Counsellor and Spiritual Director) to support and empower a person in dealing with challenges, recognizing that it is our choices that help us learn and grow.
• Mediums (and psychics) are more spiritually evolved - Spiritual Mediums and psychics are not necessarily more spiritually evolved than anyone else and, like everyone else, they are on a road of spiritual advancement and growth. However, it is most desirable that Spiritual Mediums be highly spiritual and dedicated people who recognise and accept their sacred responsibility, not only to themselves, but also to God, the spirit world and the recipients of any spirit messages. The OIIM Registration Board ensures this in its registrants.
• Anyone coming to a Spiritual Healer for spiritual healing must have faith – Spiritual Healings are most effective when accepted consciously or unconsciously by the recipient as it is for their own best good. The intentions of both the healer and the recipient are important factors to Spiritual Healing. Some people have been helped without their conscious knowledge. This has been the case, for example, when Spiritual Healing has been provided through distant Spiritual Healing or when Spiritual Healing has been given to a recipient who is too ill or too young to understand. But the recipient would be open to Spiritual Healing on the unconscious level and the trained Spiritual Healer would have said a prayer that Spiritual Healing only happen as it is for the person’s own best good.
• Spiritual healing eliminates the need for health care from physicians and surgeons - Spiritual Healers do not deny that these and other health care professionals are necessary. Spiritual Healers believe in complimenting, not replacing, other health care servic
