Transformation in meditation For many years, I thought healing meant understanding. I began psychotherapy in my early twenties and eventually spent years in Jungian analysis. That work changed me profoundly. I learned to recognize the dynamics of my family, understand the ways I had adapted to an unpredictable childhood, and see patterns in myself that had once been invisible to me. I mined my dreams for images of transformation and meaning. I became deeply self-reflective an

The Golden Love-Light of Healing There are experiences that do more than hurt us. They can alter our relationship with ourselves, with other people, with the Sacred, and with life itself. Trauma, violence, betrayal, abandonment, oppression, grief, and other forms of suffering can leave us feeling profoundly alone, even when we are surrounded by people who love us.

There are experiences in life after which we may say, “I have never been quite the same.” Sometimes the change follows an obvious trauma: violence, abuse, the death of someone we love, war, betrayal, abandonment, or another experience that overwhelms our capacity to absorb what has happened. At other times, the loss is quieter. A child learns that a particular gift is unacceptable. Someone repeatedly suppresses an essential part of themselves to remain connected to a family o
