Healing into Wholeness

Healing into Wholeness Healing into wholeness is a page that I created with the hope of bringing awareness to mental health and spiritual growth. Together we are very strong.

Please feel free to spread the love and healing that is at the crux of this page and my intention. This is an inspirational page stemming from the work I do as a psychotherapist in Portland, OR. I am passionate about growth work and see our task as taking the path of becoming conscious human beings, living with intention and finding our purpose and passion in this life we have been given. I am constantly inspired by the beauty and the suffering we encounter in our daily life. I would like to share my thoughts, my moments of awe and wonder with whomever might be called to read them and send me their own thoughts and realizations. This life we have been given is precious beyond measures, we just need to slow down enough to notice the many gifts, to take them in, and offer our own to add to the magnificent beauty we get to witness and embody. On another note I would like to let everybody know that none of the photos belong to me. When I know the source I make sure to give credit to the photographer or the original source. Same with the quotes, credit is always given when I do have the information. When you don't see any credit it is because I don't have this information. If you happen to have it and feel inclined to share it please do so.

“Intimacy requires courage because risk is inescapable. We cannot know at the outset how the relationship will affect us. Like a chemical mixture, if one of us is changed, both of us will be. Will we grow in self-actualization, or will it destroy us? The one thing we can be certain of is that if we let ourselves fully into the relationship for good or evil, we will not come out unaffected.” Rollo May

"If there's something special you want to do, 
now is the time... if you want to make a difference 
in the world, now is the time. Don't be fooled into
 thinking you should wait until you are older or wiser 
or more 'secure' - because it doesn't work that way.
 The wisdom will come. The security will come. 
But first you must begin your adventure.’ Ron Atchison

"You ruin your life by desensitizing yourself. We are all afraid to say too much, to feel too deeply, to let people know what they mean to us. Caring is not synonymous with crazy. Expressing to someone how special they are to you will make you vulnerable. There is no denying that. However, that is nothing to be ashamed of. There is something breathtakingly beautiful in the moments of smaller magic that occur when you strip down and are honest with those who are important to you. Let that girl know that she inspires you. Tell your mother you love her in front of your friends. Express, express, express. Open yourself up, do not harden yourself to the world, and be bold in who, and how you love. There is courage in that."
Bianca Sparacino

“Dearest pain body, I witnessed you, sidestepped you, rose above you, numbed you, intellectualized you, outran you. I was so good at it, that I thought you were gone. Silly me, confusing self-avoidance with emotional health. In fact, you were right here, a karmic seed longing to mature into a garden of expansion, waiting in the wings to be nourished into view. Repressed emotions are unactualized spiritual lessons. Excavate, excavate, excavate…” Jeff Brown

"Don't condemn sensuality. It has been condemned by the whole world, and because of their condemnation the energy that can flower in sensuality moves into perversions, jealousy, anger, hatred - a kind of life which is dry, with no juice.
Sensuousness is your very life. That is the difference between you and a stone - because the stone is not sensuous. The more sensuous you are, the more alive you are. And if your whole energy is released in loving, in being playfully sensuous without holding yourself back, without any fear - there is nothing to be afraid of. Sensuousness is one of the greatest blessings to humanity; it is your sensitivity, it is your consciousness; consciousness filtering through the body is what sensuousness is."

"I counted my years and found that I have less time to live from here on than I have lived up to now.
I feel like that child who won a packet of sweets: he ate the first with pleasure, but when he realized that there were few left, he began to enjoy them intensely.
I no longer have time for endless meetings where statutes, rules, procedures and internal regulations are discussed, knowing that nothing will be achieved.
I no longer have time to support the absurd people who, despite their chronological age, haven't grown up.
My time is too short:
I want the essence,
my soul is in a hurry.
I don't have many sweets
in the package anymore.
I want to live next to human people,
very human,
who know how to laugh at their mistakes,
and who are not inflated by their triumphs,
and who take on their responsibilities.
Thus human dignity is defended and we move towards truth and honesty.
It is the essential that makes life worth living.
I want to surround myself with people who know how to touch hearts, people who have been taught by the hard blows of life to grow with gentle touches of the soul.
Yes, I'm in a hurry, I'm in a hurry to live with the intensity that only maturity can give.
I don't intend to waste any of the leftover sweets.
I am sure they will be delicious, much more than what I have eaten so far.
My goal is to reach the end satisfied
and at peace with my loved ones
and my conscience.
We have two lives.
And the second begins when you realize you only have one."
Mário Raul de Morais Andrade

“In my experience, the more true we are to our own creative gifts the less there is an outer reassurance or help at the beginning. The more we are on the path, the deeper the silence in the first stages of the process. Following our path is in effect a kind of going off the path, through open country, there is a certain early stage when we are left to camp out in the wilderness, alone, with few supporting voices. Out there in the silence we must build a hearth, gather the twigs, and strike the flint for the fire ourselves.” – David Whyte
