A Center for Spiritual Living (CSL) Practitioner—often referred to as a Licensed Spiritual Practitioner or Religious Science Practitioner (RScP)—is a professionally trained individual who assists others in applying spiritual principles to their lives. Unlike a counselor who offers psychological perspectives, a Practitioner focuses on helping to identify obstacles and beliefs that limit a person's healing or fulfillment. They assist individuals to reveal wisdom and deeper truths that guide them towards Spiritual magnifience in mind, body, heart, and soul.
Core Responsibilities:
Affirmative Prayer (Spiritual Mind Treatment): Practitioners are specialists in this five-step scientific prayer process designed to align a person's thoughts with the Divine to manifest healing or change.
Spiritual Coaching: They offer one-on-one sessions to help clients uncover limiting beliefs and replace them with empowering spiritual understandings.
Sacred Service: They are an integral part of our community by offering prayer and insight during our Sunday services, leading our Wednesday meditations, teaching classes and workshops, and providing prayer support after Sunday services. They also 'hold' prayer requests in their consciousness daily.
