On healing…

To be healed and to be cured are not synonyms. Many times we are cured from an illness but we are not healed. On the other hand, healing is often followed by the body being cured.

The path of healing requires courage and surrender. To become whole again, we have to change the blueprints or thought models from which we live, through which we look at reality and through which we are wounded over and over again. The pain that we have piled up and fed on all our lives must be released so that each moment can be new and not just another repetition of our past. We learn to let go of control and our beliefs of how life should be, and we finally let go of what makes us sick. We open ourselves to new possibilities. Sometimes healing can temporarily overturn the life we have built.

Healing is reconnecting with the great Life that flows through us. Healing occurs when light and darkness, good and bad cease to exist and we can and dare to live our own lives in peace and fullness.

Healing often occurs at a moment when we are deeply touched by life or we have a deep insight (an aha-moment). At that moment we step outside our daily reality. We can also reach those deeper levels

of consciousness in ourselves in a state of relaxation, meditation or during a ritual or ceremony. We enter the mythical world of "fantasy" and archetypes within ourselves. We open the doors of our subconscious and may get in touch with what Jung called the "collective unconscious." We learn about the many stories and faces that guide our subconscious. But above all, we learn to rewrite the stories that have bound us for a long time.

By daring to make contact with our deepest emotions and instincts and shed light on our own darkness, we learn to make peace within ourselves and healing can occur.

" Until you make the unconscious conscious, it will direct your life and you will call it fate." C.G.Jung
