Psychosynthesis: Psychotherapy with a Spiritual Context

Fundamentals of Psychosynthesis – 4 – 7 September, 20 – 23 November and ongoing dates: London NW4 3AQ.


Founded over 80 years ago by Italian Psychiatrist, Dr. Roberto Assagioli, Psychosynthesis was well ahead of its time with its psychological approach involving the discovery of spiritual purpose and meaning for the individual's life alongside their mental, emotional and physical wellbeing. Assagioli, a colleague of Sigmund Freud and CG Jung, combined methods and ideas of Western psychology with spiritually oriented Eastern traditions in his proposal that the purpose of psychological healing was to contact a deeper centre of spiritual identity which he called the 'Self'.

The Institute of Psychosynthesis holds regular explanatory Open Evenings and Open Days in London; its four-day Fundamentals courses provide opportunities to rediscover the Self. In addition, the Institute's short CBT+ programme adds the depth and spiritual values of Psychosynthesis to CBT's methods of rational enquiry.

The Institute delivers part-time professional training programmes in the Psychology of Psychosynthesis, leading to Institute Diplomas and Masters Degrees validated by Middlesex University in Psychotherapy, Coaching, Counselling, Research and Post-Graduate training.

Homeovitality – New Launch

Developed by world renowned scientist Dr. Peter Kay, Homeovitality is a merging of scientific discovery, the biology of natural super-health and alternative healthcare technology, and was launched at the Organic Expo 2009 in Melbourne on the 24-26th July.


Scientists have recently discovered that features of mind and body health involving the heart, immunity, blood pressure, cholesterol levels, memory, intelligence and bone strength, as well as slowing down the ageing process, can be greatly improved by application of hybrid vigour, nature's highest health level possible. Dr. Kay has selected genes that control these beneficial health features for targeting by the Homeovitality system.

Beneficial genes are targeted by inclusion of highly diluted DNA molecules that have the capacity to work in ways described by Dr. Kratz (see http://kulisz.com/how_does_homeopathy_work.htm), as well as the natural mind/body process known as the psychobiological gene expression system.

Vital Calm for Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS)

Legs that twitch when trying to relax or sleep, creepy, often painful sensations creating an overwhelming urge to move? This is a problem affecting over 1.5 million people in the UK alone who suffer from a condition known as Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS).


The uncomfortable sensations of RLS are usually triggered by inactivity, are often more noticeable in the evening and, for some, prevent them from sleeping. Symptoms can be temporarily relieved by movement and recently GPs have been allowed to prescribe the same drugs used to treat Parkinson disease since low dopamine is implicated in RLS.
 
vitalCALM has been specifically developed to address severe imbalances in neurotransmitter status, which can lead to restlessness in both mind and body. Delivering a high concentration of PEA and supporting nutrients, vitalCALM helps maintain a healthy and balanced nervous system.
