One of the core concepts of Gestalt Therapy (a model of humanistic psychology) is that pain, distress, and dysfunction is largely the result of an accumulation of incompletions - things not said, moments not taken, projects started and never completed, opportunities wasted, forgiveness not granted, gratitude not spoken, or love not expressed. Do whatever you can to resolve at least one of those incompletions that has lingered in your heart for so long. What will you bring to completion today?

When feeling overwhelmed with painful emotions, the best thing we can do is to
HONOR, RESPECT, and VALIDATE
those emotions.
Do not rush to gloss them over, minimize them, or try to make them go away.
ACKNOWLEDGE the emotions fully and allow their full force to tumble you, run through your body, and sit with them until they wash over you. Eventually, the clouds within your heart will pass and you will connect to clarity and hope.
Our task then becomes to bring that light out into the world and lead by the example of a life centered on kindness, compassion, inclusiveness, and a renewed determination to make the world we live in a better place.

Healing requires recognition; it is impossible to heal an emotional wound if we do not acknowledge its presence while allowing ourselves to feel its full force. Our fear of facing our pain drives us to do anything within our power to disconnect, hide, deny, bury, or medicate it away. In doing so we prolong our emotional wounds and keep them open until that healing day in which we dare to face them with the tonic of unconditional love and forgiveness. “Healing is the application of love to the parts inside that hurt.” - Ron Hulnick

We all make mistakes. But the goal is not to avoid making mistakes, the goal is to learn from them - to grow and become more fully integrated in mind, body, and soul. Each blunder, each tear, each scrape, each rock bottom becomes the chrysalis that transforms us and gives us wings, wings of greater understanding, compassion, love, and forgiveness. Without these rough edges, we could not be transformed. These mistakes are necessary gifts on the road to personal and spiritual growth. We’ve walked through the fire and come out on the other side purified and whole. Now that we know better, we love better.

An old Spanish proverb says: “Do not leave for tomorrow what you can do today.” I think the same applies to love. We worry about promises, tomorrows and forevermores, yet we often let domesticity, life, work, plans, etc., get in the way of expressing love fully and completely to the people in our lives that matter most to us. Do not wait until tomorrow to express the love you feel in your heart today. If we endeavor to love fully today the tomorrows and forevermores will take care of themselves.

LIFE YOGA
When I first started taking yoga classes many years ago, it was easy to understand the physical benefits of yoga but it took me a bit longer to understand the mental and psychological benefits. It wasn’t until our yoga teacher reminded us to breathe through the discomfort of a particularly challenging pose that I got it. So many times in our lives we find ourselves in difficult situations, and we are reminded to breathe deeply and lean softly into the present moment, with equanimity, gentleness, and compassion.

Only love is permanent. Someday, perhaps millions of years from now, nothing that we can see with our naked eyes will remain in it’s current form. The only thing that is permanent is the love we give and receive; that we get to keep... that is forever. When a person comes into our lives it is our job to figure out what is the gift of love that they have for us, as it is their job to acknowledge and accept the gift of love we have for them. The gift is always there. In identifying, acknowledging, and accepting their gift of love, they not only change us but become a part of us forever.

Love requires emotional intimacy.

Emotional intimacy requires transparency.

Transparency requires vulnerability to risk revealing our true self.

Vulnerability requires uncompromising emotional safety, the knowing that the other is a safe haven where we feel seen with complete non-judgement, acceptance, and love.

Safety, then, is the foundation to love.

BE SOFT
When we experience pain, our tendency is to toughen up, to harden our hearts to keep from hurting. It seems foolish to allow our hearts to remain trusting and open when doing so has led to pain.
Yet, it is precisely in our softness, vulnerability, and authenticity that our greatest gifts lie. Only from an open heart can we find true happiness. To open our hearts, to choose to remain soft, trusting, innocent, raw, optimistic, and loving takes courage. But it is the only healthy choice we can make.

Love is a choice, an act of will, that we must make every day, moment by moment, second by second... when anger creeps in, when judgment creeps in, when divisions creep in, when disappointment creeps in. It is a constant meditation, a miraculous act of strength, determination, will, and grace, to choose to love all over again and again.

11/05/2025

Love is the most intense and powerful of human emotions; throughout all of human history we have lived and died for that feeling. But feeling love and expressing love are not one and the same. While the feeling of love is the foundation for any relationship, there is a skill set of loving that must be present for love to thrive and flourish. Ultimately what we feel only matters to us. It is how we act towards the people we say we love that matters to them.
