How Healing Actually Happens: The Natural Pathway of Transformation
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 Wound of Separation: When Suffering Makes Us Feel Cut Off from Love
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.

Understanding the Light Body: The Luminous Dimension of Being Human
What does it mean to say that a human being has a Light Body? Across many spiritual and healing traditions, human beings have been understood as more than physical organisms.

Heal your Wounds and the Wounds of the World
Healing Frequencies About two years after 9/11, I had a vision of billions of people flooding the streets in every corner of the world, demanding an end to violence and war. I did not experience this vision as a prediction. I experienced it as a revelation of something possible in the human heart: a longing for another way of living together. That vision has stayed with me for more than twenty years. So has the question beneath it: What would have to change in us—and between
