Sacred Attention
Therapy
Awaken to Your True Self
“The mind is always defeated until it is brought into the service of the heart.”
Sacred Attention Therapy is a pioneering psycho-spiritual approach developed by Richard Harvey that integrates deep psychological healing with spiritual awakening. It is grounded in the understanding that true transformation arises when we turn inward—when we meet ourselves fully, with compassion, presence, and truth.
Rather than avoiding pain or seeking quick fixes, SAT invites us to listen deeply to our inner experience. It teaches that awareness is not just a path to change—it is the change. Through sacred attention to our thoughts, emotions, wounds, and patterns, we begin to reconnect with our essential nature and open to a new way of being.
At the heart of this work is the recognition that healing is a sacred act—a return to wholeness that touches every part of our lives. As we release old attachments and rediscover our inner truth, we don’t just heal—we awaken. And in doing so, we contribute to a more conscious, compassionate world.
About SAT
The Three Stages of Healing
Sacred Attention Therapy unfolds in three interconnected stages that reflect the natural movement of awakening.
Self-Discovery
Uncover the conditioning, personal history, and emotional patternsx that shape your experience. This stage invites deep honesty and compassionate inquiry—a meeting with yourself just as you are.
Transformation
Move through emotional defenses and inner blocks to release pain, trauma, and limiting beliefs. Here, healing becomes a process of integration, renewal, and radical inner shift.
Awakening
Beyond identity and story, you begin to rest in spacious awareness—the essence of who you are. This is not an escape, but an embodiment of presence, where life is lived from your authentic being.

What Supporters of Sacred Attention Therapy Say
“Richard Harvey is an independent and original thinker and in my mind ahead of his time. He’s been offering knowledge of the universality of consciousness for years and “researchers” are only now beginning to corroborate his insights. That is to say that consciousness is all around us and can influence us, at the same time as each of us, via our individual contributions, can influence collective consciousness. It’s powerful stuff and very real. I wish I had met Richard earlier and been ready to meet him. To those of you who are ready, I say don’t hesitate. Avail yourself of Richard’s genuine support for your spiritual life while you can.”
