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.

" Grandma how do you deal with pain?"
" With your hands, dear. When you do it with your mind, the pain hardens even more."
“With your hands, grandma?"
" Yes, yes. Our hands are the antennas of our soul. When you move them by sewing, cooking, painting, touching the earth or sinking it into the earth, they send signals of caring to the deepest part of you and your soul calms down.
This way she doesn't have to send pain anymore to show it.
" Are hands really that important?"
" Yes my girl. Thinking of babies: they get to know the world thanks to their touches. When you look at the hands of older people, they tell more about their lives than any other part of the body. Everything that is made by hand, so is said, is made with the heart because it really is like this: hands and heart are connected. Masseuses know this: When they touch another person's body with their hands, they create a deep connection. Thinking of lovers: When their hands touch, they love each other in the most sublime way."
" My hands grandma... how long haven't I used them like that!"
" Move them my girl, start creating with them and everything in you will move. The pain will not pass away. But it will be the best masterpiece. And it won't hurt anymore. Because you managed to embroider your essence."
Elena Barnabé

She said today she is not going to be strong. She gave herself permission to sleep all day if she chooses or to take a 2 hour bubble bath, to cry, and eat whatever she wanted. No computer, phone or television. She is taking this day to release all the bottled up emotions. She is cleansing her mind, heart and soul. Tears are cleansing to the soul, and today she is not afraid to let them flow. Today she is just going to let herself be free, free to feel whatever she chooses, today is her day, to be alone with just her thoughts and emotions. She is taking this day to take care of herself, without guilt and without shame.” Mary Costanza

“When someone tells you, “I love you,” and then you feel, “Oh, I must be worthy after all,” that’s an illusion. That’s not true. Or someone says, “I hate you,” and you think, “Oh, God, I knew it; I’m not very worthy,” that’s not true either. Neither one of these thoughts hold any intrinsic reality. They are an overlay. When someone says, “I love you,” he is telling you about himself, not you. When someone says, “I hate you,” she is telling you about herself, not you. World views are self views—literally”

"All the wars, all the hatred, all the ignorance in the world come out of being so invested in our opinions. And at bottom, those opinions are merely our efforts to escape the underlying uneasiness of being human, the uneasiness of feeling like we can’t get ground under our feet. So we hold on to our fixed ideas of this is how it is and disparage any opposing views. But imagine what the world would be like if we could come to see our likes and dislikes as merely likes and dislikes, and what we take to be intrinsically true as just our personal viewpoint." Pema Chodron

I have spent the last week studying with the founder of IFS( internal family system) the iconic Dick Schwartz in Costa Rica , along with dozens of magnificent humans from all walks of life. Though this model started as a therapeutic model, it has now evolved into a model of psycho-spiritual growth work. I felt held in a web of love like never before. What I want to share here is that healing is not a luxury but a necessity in today’s world. I was proud to be amongst kindred spirits who know that by healing themselves they are healing this world that is suffering in ways I have not seen in my own lifetime. I am proud of all the men who showed up , not working as a therapist but just wanting to feel their best so they can give their best to the world. Imagine a world where people are waking up to their inner life and tending to it with love and compassion. I am committed to this path more than ever before. I hope you can find your own healing circle and dedicate your energy to this sublime cause. 🙏
