Take the vow of non-violence in your thought, speech and actions. I was the 6,546th person to take the vow tonight. Let's hit a tipping point. Deepak Chopra is a key backer of this new movement.

There has long been a disconnect in many therapists' offices and practices between the vastly important role most people claim religion and spirituality play in their lives and the degree to which the therapist will even consider discussing the connection, let alone using it to the client's advantage.

But some progress has been made in recent years, as revelaed in this article from the Toledo Blade.

Therapists are psychologists by training and psychology wants so  badly to be viewed and treated as a science that its practitioners seem unwilling to engage in any activity that might even smack of unscientific or even non-scientific thought. This is just a side effect of Western -- and particulary American, German and Russian -- elevation of Scientism to the status of a near religion in its own right.

But as the professor interviewed in that article points out, when upwards of 90% of Americans claim a belief in God or a spiriutual path and only 25% of therapists do, the disconnect is all but inevitable.

My Science of Energy Medicine Group here on Gaia.com is a place where we will be examining this issue in depth and discussing ways we can further the research into the topic as well as improve the promulgation of the truth of the onenness of wisdom.
