Deepening in meditation leads us into territory unfamiliar to us. Fear is the passage way between what is known and what is unknown. Faith teaches us to stay open and present, offering an inner refuge and balance.
Meditation practice can be profoundly healing in working with deep personal wounds. The art of healing with meditation is possible when we understand the effects of different styles of meditation, recognize what aspects of meditation may be contraindicated and ground the healing process in a nurturing relational context.
our sense of being separate and inadequate is created and maintained through our stories about life. Learning how to recognize these stories with mindfulness and compassion reconnects us with our natural, awakened being.
