Some suggestions seth:

Certain psychologists have been reknowned for techniques to reprogram yourself. People such as timothy leary and john lily. Timothy leary of course has his 8 circuit consciousness model.
There's also Yoga which,contrary to popular belief, isn't so much a physical excercise as much as a way to reprogram yourself to be happy. Yoga has eight branches on top of their usual science of health which has three seperate pillars, but I won't really get too far into ayruveda.
However, yoga's eight brances all detail different steps / consciousness shifts just like timothy leary's 8 circuit model. Only one of those steps is the yoga of america or the "Asana's", the physical exercises, which actually has more to do with the energy inside the body. It's kind of like chi I suppose, except it has alot more reality than what is generally known. For example, alot of it is about blood flow which is biologically sound(for example alot of the blood in the body lies in the intestines). Some of it involves the spine which could be called the center of energy for the body. There's alot of internal energies, and I'm sure you could think of plenty.
Buddhism has an 8 fold path ;/

Anyway, all forms of spirituality is just a form of psychology, some of it's a psychological *model*, especially with religion. Different religions breed a different form of person which may be useful for certain circumstances. Like if you want to go to war, or hit certain sensitive emotions which are in reality mostly social triggers.
When you start to look at religion and spirituality from a psychological angle it makes more sense. Angry fire people, fat emotional people. Even socrates had an elemental system, or humors: Black bile, yellow bile, phlegm and blood(hippocrates)... or Galen's four temperments: choleric, melancholic, phlegm and sanguine. You notice it used it literature, like in shakespeares caesar when caeser mentions not trusting skinny men, only fat men.
It's all psychology, alchemy is about turning man from led to gold.

Anyway, that's about all that needs said i guess. Internal psychology is pretty simple when you actually start to look at the nature of things. The nature of things is more important than anything else, really.

I'm fucked up on oxycodone and stoned and drunk. Sorry if I rambled too much.
