Healing is not he easiest process to undertake, especially within our society. Despite how natural it is to heal, we are

not known for being proficient in this art. We are not taught, as a norm, how to go about this journey of healing.

So, allow yourself to come from "beginner's mind" and let's explore some of the key aspects of healing and see what

each step brings to our life.  Consider what it means to "be one with", to be intimate, to be empathic. These

qualities are much easier discussed than experienced.  They involve a level of vulnerability that is often perceived as

threatening to our life.  We seriously risk losing a part of who we think we are, so in this quite powerfully individually-

focused society, this depth of vulnerability is commonly avoided.  Oneness is avoided. The deepest compassion is

avoided.
