The process of returning to whole health is a journey that requires all aspects of ones being to be taken into account. The primary goal is to return to and maintain a harmonious relationship within ones self and the world in which it is a part. The web of life we are all connected to is vast. Each part of the whole has an effect on all of its other parts. In reality there is no separation.  The only purpose of seperation is to rejoin that Unity. As long as there is separation there will be a bridge. We are all on the path, and despite our differences, being on the path makes us much more similar than we realize.

The ‘healing journey’ is a life long process. Each moment offers opportunity to choose to be connected to the fullness of the true nature of being as the ‘whole self.’

There are many pathways that lead to true healing. As we walk may we keep in mind and at heart the truth that it is really about the journey, not the destination.

 ”Beyond all illusion is the source of love, a field of pure potential. That potential is you.”

Deepak Chopra

My personal journey led me to travel down a curious road in search of true healing.  My search was inspired by witnessing the trials my mother went through in her attempts to “be healed” by western medical practices. Something in me told me they were never going to really be able to help her with the implied methods of conventional western medical practice. They weren’t looking at her whole-self. Knowing my mother intimately provided an opening for me to receive the intuitive knowing that her “dis-ease” was not simply a matter of physical disturbance but one closely related to her heart (emotion) and mind (psyche). It was through this witnessing that I began my quest to gain understanding in the root cause of dis-ease and a way in which to ‘cure’ the root cause. I didn’t know it then but it was from that glimpse that I awakened to The Art of Holistic Healing.

Following this inspiration I was led to exploration of The Body. While in massage school I had the opportunity to explore more deeply the connection between mind and body. The study and practice of Therapeutic Touch taught me that we can access the mind and the storehouse of emotions through the body. I was beginning to receive teachings related to the initial intuitive insight, the mind and body are indeed connected and effect one-another.  This knowledge was not something simply told to me but experienced first hand thus becoming a truth for me to personally own.

This study of the mind-body connection holds enough to look at for the duration of ones life long existence. In fact, it is a study of life itself, life as a human being on Earth. The spectrum and the depth of this study is as grand as one wishes look and then goes beyond that. Many, many paths are available to humans for the purpose of gaining greater self awareness and healing.

Healing truly is a journey. A journey toward wholeness requires many steps, as many steps as the number of breaths taken in ones life. Holistic Healing is a process. Moment by moment the journey continues. Thankfully, none of us have to do it alone. We are all in this process together. It is not simply the individual that requires healing but the whole in which the individual is connected. It is my prayer that the illusion of separation is soon long forgotten and the reality of unity is remembered in the hearts of all!
