Buddhism and Psychotherapy: A Mental Development Approach
by Phra Achan Dhammarato Bhikkhu
Buddhism is the original psychology and can be considered the best available
even today. We all have benefited from modern psychology,
but there is more to do and learn. The mind is vast and
modern tools do not go far enough. The Buddha's Dhamma goes
to the core, the very depths of the human mind. Everyone
can benefit if the Buddha's Eight-Fold Noble Path is
included with modern methods. Phra Achan has been studying
Buddhist meditation for over 28 years and is an ordained
Buddhist Monk with a PhD in Clinical Psychology.

Psychological Re-Programming
by Dr. Lora Hurley, Traditional Naturopath and founder of Celtic Frost
Healthcare of Locust, NC
If you find yourself wondering why
you're always "stuck" in a pattern whether it involves your
physical, mental, social, emotional, or spiritual self, then
you may need assistance in redefining, refocusing, or
redirecting your feelings, beliefs, and states of mind.
Psychological-emotional re-programming which involves past
life regressions and sensory keys can allow recall,
re-experience, and removal of negative feelings and beliefs.
By using tools like these, one can throw off old attitudes
that may have them locked inside their body, mind, or spirit
so that they can "breathe" the breath of life, possibly for
the first time.
