healing...

"Healing is an active and internal process that includes investigating one's attitudes, memories, and beliefs with the desire to release all negative patterns that prevent one's full emotional and spiritual recovery. This internal review inevitably leads one to review one's external circumstances in an effort to recreate one's life in a way that serves activation of will - the will to see and accept truths about one's life and how one has used one's energies; and the will to begin to use energy for the creation of love, self-esteem, and health.

"Healing requires taking action. It is not a passive event. We are meant to draw on our inner resources, to find material strength to leave behind our outmoded beliefs and behaviours, and to see ourselves in new healthy ways - to take up our beds and walk." (Carolyn Myss, The Anatomy of Spirit)
