General Thoughts
Healing is restoration to a state of wholeness and well-being. Essential to physical, emotional, spiritual realms. A lifelong process. Every life will present pain and suffering challenges; illness, disease, and injury will happen to everyone, create wounds and leave scars.

Every person creates his or her own reality. The responsibility of being the authors of your own life story is inescapable but most of disbelieve this most of the time. We tend to use the excuse that we can't get what we truly desire because we lack the right resources. We don't believe in our own ability to create successes for ourselves or accept failures as challenges to be overcome rather than final outcomes. Take control of your life and patiently shape it as you would like.

When you fully recognize your challenges, your gifts and both your inner and outer realities, you can then create a new life style that is rewarding and brings joy and self-empowerment.

It takes courage to embrace the idea that what you make of your own life is up to you and then to actually commit to doing what you need to do in order to create the lifestyle you desire. You will have to find courage by digging deep and tapping into both your Highest Self and drawing on the support of others. Fears, real or imagined, only serve as obstacles that have to be overcome by faith in yourself and courage.
