Mark F. Barone, MA, LMHC
Holistic Psychotherapy
Mark’s awareness of there being multiple
variables which lead individuals to seek therapy
served as motivation and guidance for him
crafting his Holistic Psychotherapy template,
with the intention of acknowledging and
harmonizing the psychological, physical,
emotional, relational, creative, and
spiritual/existential dimensions
of humanity.
Enlightenment can be translated as freedom from
suffering, and in current times suffering often
manifests as symptoms of anxiousness, depression,
post-traumatic stress disorder, conflict within
relationships, self-image issues, creative blocks, and confusion around the meaning and purpose of
existence.
In implementing his Holistic Psychotherapy
template, Mark weaves together Humanistic and
Depth Psychology, Evidence-based Somatic
meditations and practices, with empowering
sacred Archetypal languages including Astrology
and Tarot, which allow him to assess, track,
facilitate, and support the intricate calibration of
various elements of human incarnation.
The result is often; relief of symptoms, clearing of
obscurations, expansion of awareness, and
subsequent blooms of enlightened states of;
equanimity, pleasure, vigor, reciprocal love,
confidence, artistry, wisdom, merit, & conscious
Self-actualization.
Psychospiritual Counsel
Some of us are born with or develop a yearning for spiritual or existential experience,
meaning, and purpose. Mark found awareness of
such an element of himself early in life, guiding
him to and supporting his diligent exploration,
study, engagement, and practice of various
spiritual methods, and the accumulation of
increasingly profound and expansive experiences.
With appreciation of this perennial aspiration of himself and humanity, complemented by his
gained knowledge and adeptness, Mark cultivated the design of his Psychospiritual Counsel template, a mode of consultation in which he helps affect
change at a soul level via the identification and conscious actualization of authentic Self embodiment and journey on one’s path of destiny.
Within his Psychospiritual Consultations he
weaves together the language, theory, and
practices of; Alchemy, Astrology, Tarot, Chakra
Systems, Shadow Integration, Tibetan Vajrayana
Buddhism, and the I Ching. Mark’s wisdom and
skill with these practices is informed by his eternal
and steadfast personal study, engagement, and
praxis, as well as his instruction, training, and/or
practicum with Anodea Judith Phd, Antero Alli, the Institute of Authentic Tantra Education, and
Maja D'Aoust.
Archetypal Tantra
Archetypal Tantra is a modality of instruction
woven by Mark via the conjunction of the
languages, symbolism, theories, and practices of Authentic Tantra with those of Astrology and Tarot. The resulting structure provides a potent avenue for
initiating or deepening knowledge of one’s authentic Self, and affecting external environmental and existential circumstances by internal healing of
physical, emotional, intellectual, relational,
spiritual, and sexual dimensions of being.
Engagement in this process with Mark as a guide is an initiation into the Shangpa Kagyu lineage of the Vajrayana tradition of Tibetan Tantric Buddhism, and into the realm of Astrological and Tarot cosmology and experience. Spanning centuries, these templates are compendiums holding configurations of empowering beliefs and behaviors reflective of perennial truths and wisdom which have the capacity to catalyze gradual or swift healing, transformation, and
Self- actualization, and consequently the support of an experienced practitioner is often vital and highly valuable.
The path includes focus on increasing somatic and energy body awareness, connection with and integration of the archetypal five elements, and conscious engagement and experimentation with the sacred and divine duality and interplay of; feminine and masculine, yin and yang, receptive and active, toward cultivating an authentic embodiment of sexuality according to one’s own
desire, design, and pleasure compass. As Mark’s instruction augments structure with flexibility, supporting a mindfully inclusive and diverse atmosphere and curriculum which facilitates
liberation, the results frequently are experiences of fulfilling levels of trust, intimacy, and pleasure, as well as feelings of bliss and enlightenment.
