Individuals experience spiritual awakening in a variety of ways.
Historically it is known that an individual, like Buddha, can sit alone and obtain full realization. More typically, however, we experience Divine awakening through a process which includes the involvement of another human being. The focus of this discussion is about the psychological and spiritual dynamics that occur between two individuals when spiritual consciousness is first ignited. As more and more individuals become interested in spiritual practice they seek out psychotherapists who offer spiritually oriented psychotherapy, yoga teachers, and yoga therapists for support and guidance. Given the rapidly growing number of individuals looking for spiritual understanding, the interpersonal dynamics of spiritual development becomes important to understand.
