Journey into wholeness

"As we are all spirit beings having a human experience, perhaps it is time for us all to reclaim our power and awaken our own inner shaman or teacher? Everyone of us has the ability to communicate with Spirit in a myriad of ways. Although it is appropriate at times to seek assistance and advice from others as part of our growth and healing process, nothing and no one can make you better without your willing participation (both consciously and subconsciously) to release the cause of the problem. True healing involves uncovering the myth of who you are and what you are not. You could spend a lifetime searching externally for many things - perfect health, true love, lots of money, inner happiness, etc - to fill the void within and make you whole again. Yet, each and everyone of us has the potential to heal and be healed at anytime - the two go hand in hand, for when you heal another you heal yourself ... when you heal yourself you heal the world. There is no separation. Such is the wisdom of our ancestors, if we will only listen. " (p.17)
