Likewise, there are many people out there who feel they are in touch with spiritual aspects of the world and the universe, and can use this knowledge and energy to help others. If you are one of these people, there are a good amount of jobs out there that could use your spiritual touch.

A spiritual counselor helps guide individuals looking to solidify their spiritual beliefs and practices. Some spiritual counselors practice within a particular religious denomination, others are non-denominational. They can also assist with certain mental health issues.
