Marvelous things can happen when you
dare to venture inward...
Greetings!
Thank you for your interest in Inner Journeys. I am Liz Schillinger,
founder of Inner Journeys, Spiritual Wellness Practitioner,
ordained Spiritual/Holistic Minister, and Certified Reiki Master.
Inner Journeys began as a home based Reiki practice offering
Reiki sessions and certification, and has expanded to include
workshops in meditation, intuitive development and various spiritual
wellness practices. It is my intention to continue to reach out to as
many people as possible to share what I have learned along this path.
While it is true that everyone has their own path to follow, know that
we are all on the same journey: to discover, learn, and grow in our
spiritual awareness. I believe that what I have to offer can help bring
people closer to that expanded awareness and to the deeper
understanding that they seek.
At this point in human history, we are witnessing a global spiritual
awakening. People are beginning to question the ideals they've been
taught, as well as the religious affiliations and sometimes biased
perceptions they inherited from their families at birth. Many of the
people who seek me out have expressed the feeling of being
oppressed by accepted societal constructs or feel that their
spiritual growth is being stifled by their religious teachings.
Sometimes they have even become the unwitting victims of their own
expectations and attempts to live up to core ideals ranging from our
role in society and family, to our careers and the pursuit of our
ambitions. Very often these ideas are conflicting or even
contradictory. To reconcile this difference requires nothing less
than a total paradigm shift.
From the time we are very young, we are meticulously spoon-fed the
societal norms regarding gender roles, appropriate behavior,
acceptable pursuits, and what constitutes beauty, worth and
success. While our role models certainly had the best of intentions,
these same ideas can actually be disempowering and can inhibit one’
s growth, damage self-esteem, and ultimately cut us off from
accessing our own inner guidance and wisdom.
Often, the principles that we accept as law throughout our lives are
really fear-based perceptions that are detrimental to our well-
being. Conversely, many derive great comfort and strength from
traditional values or their religious affiliations and beliefs. And if
these have provided support for you through those especially trying
times in your life, then this has proven itself to be a valid path for
you. However, there are many who have become disillusioned and
have lost faith in the teachings of their culture, society or inherited
religion. Or perhaps they never had faith in them from the start.
And if you have no faith in something, it cannot soothe, feed or
provide strength and comfort to the spirit being within. What
happens then is the starvation of the spirit - what I term "spiritual
famine".
Spiritual famine is the neglect of our spiritual being. When one
does not feed and nurture the spirit within them, it languishes. It
creates a void that leads to an undefined yearning that is difficult to
identify or satiate. Left unresolved, this deprivation of spirit
ultimately manifests as mental distress and compromised physical
health. Certainly this is not a state conducive to optimal wellness.
The most effective way to fight spiritual famine is to release the
fear of forming your own beliefs about who you are and what you
are supposed to accomplish on this journey . In doing so, you place
yourself in greater alignment with your own higher power. By
addressing the cries of the spirit, you call the true nature of your
existence to come stand before you. And this begins your journey
toward a deeper spiritual awareness, a recognition of your true
worth, and a greater sense of balance and wellness.
Inner Journeys was founded by my desire to battle spiritual famine,
as well as to introduce a philosophy that teaches one how to
address the needs of mind, body and spirit for a more integrated
approach to wellness. I encourage those I work with to rethink
damaging core precepts and replace them with ones that contribute
positively to their self-esteem, health, and wellness. The ultimate
goal of the services I offer is to assist others in remembering and
rediscovering their personal power and the untapped wisdom that is
locked within each one of us. Here, you will be encouraged to
journey inward and hear the voice of your true spirit. I assure you it
will be an amazing and enlightening adventure.
Thank you for visiting.
Namaste.
