It is not what we choose that is important; it is the reason we choose it.

Healing requires far more of us than just the participation of our intellectual and even our emotional resources. And it certainly demands that we do more than look backwards at the dead-end archives of our past. Healing is, by definition, taking a process of disintegration of life and transforming into a process of return to life.

Your spirit is the part of you that seeks meaning and purpose. It's the part drawn to hope, that will not give in to despair.

Managing the power of choice, with all it's creative and spiritual implications, is the essence of the human experience.

Our lives change externally as we change internally.

We are not carelessly designed creatures. Everything about us has purpose, logic and intelligence built into it, including how and why we become ill. The emotional, psychological and spiritual stresses present in our minds travel, like oxygen, to every part of our bodies. When stress settles is a particular area of the body, it is because that part of the body corresponds to the type of stress we are experiencing.
