Letting go of the belief that we’re powerless to help relieve our own suffering enhances our ability not only to heal but also to genuinely love and receive the love of others.

Healing comes in many ways, and no one formula fits all.

We nurture our sense of connection with the larger whole, noticing that the whole is only as healthy as its smallest part.

Sanskrit has different words to describe love for a brother or sister, love for a teacher, love for a partner, love for one’s friends, love of nature, and so on. English has only one word, which leads to never-ending confusion.

There’s no denying that it takes effort to set the intention to see our fundamental connected-ness with others.

The paradigm for our relationships is formed from our earliest experiences and is actually hardwired into our neurological and emotional network.
