Spiritual Guidance & Sufism
Spiritual Guidance
Pamela’s insight and deep knowing are gifts she brings into her work.
There are two kinds of knowledge that people rely on for decisions/choices, etc. in our world. Intellectual and Wisdom. Intellectual knowledge is the most common and it's the process of using our minds to analyze and figure out facts, listen to others opinions, search the internet, follow social trends etc. to help make choices and decisions. Sometimes intellectual knowledge is affected by strong emotion or hurtful interaction that influences a decision. Also, this type of knowledge helps us become well versed in a field of study or have expertise in a certain skill.
Wisdom/Guidance comes from being willing to slow down and connect into a natural, calmer place of “deep knowing” inside us that comes from the Divine (God, Source, …) and to choose to listen to that “inner voice.” The voice of wisdom that everyone has deep inside, contains vast and unending knowing for anything that we can experience in our human journey. Pamela has noticed as she listens in a counseling session or gives a teaching, this voice of wisdom she draws from is often encouraging and giving guidance to enhance peace, love, mercy and compassion for your situation or issue. The outcomes of this process have helped to nourish and strengthen these qualities that are in you, but may not have been your style of self-talk. Also this helps you increase the level of gentleness in your perceptions of a situation.
Pamela teaches classes on How to Receive Divine Guidance and if a client is open to it, encourages them to connect to their inner knowing to assist a positive change or outcome in their goals for healing, change or next steps.
“Be a light in this world, be a candle if you will, give the mercy to yourself first and then to everyone.”

What is Shadhdhuliyyah (Shadhiliyya) Sufism ?
There are many branches of Sufism of which the Shadhiliyya is one. It's called the way of the Love, Peace, Mercy, Beauty and Unity. This path focuses on the healing of the heart, mind and spirit and using personal spiritual practices that bring a clear opening, awareness and knowledge of their deeper, true inner self. Studying and practicing this path leads to spiritual fulfillment, and deep connection with Divine Love.
The word Sufi means “purity or pure” and Sufism is an easy path to help purify and beautify the heart. The deepest attribute that can beautify the heart is Love. All love comes from the One Source.
One of the appealing aspects of Sufism is that its teachings can be applied or be added as an adjunct to all paths and religious backgrounds. This form of Sufism believes in the Oneness and Unity of all people and makes no separation between any of the religions that we have in our world. Pamela does her best to encompass this knowledge and well-spring for her clients and students providing a feeling of shelter, comfort and a safe place for their heart and mind to find ease and sometimes an awakening for their spirit.
