But healing isnโt always peaceful. In my experience it is a lifetime commitment of self-discovery that can be filled with pain, joy, anger, love, and many other emotions.
I have tried many conventional and alternative forms of healing my body, mind, and spirit. Some things have worked for meโฆand some have not. With the help of others, I discovered techniques and practices that have allowed me to find moments of peace. It is in these moments of peace- or inner stillness- where I have been able to connect with my โhighest selfโ and the unconditional love that heals all.
I firmly believe that each of us is capable of healing ourselves- in fact, we are the ONLY ones who can. Unless we choose to, we do not have to do this alone! I am grateful for the people in my life who have loved, supported, and guided me toward truths about myself, life, and healing. In honor of them, I created Shanti Healing to be a loving, supportive, and ethical healing environment where people feel valued, respected, and inspired.
It takes strength and courage to embark on your own sacred journey of healing. If you are reading this, yours has already begun and I am honored to walk alongside you for this part of it.
Wishing you peace,
Kristina
