Welcome. Feeling whole is feeling engaged with life. It is having a relationship with our thoughts and emotions, being able to access our inner knowing, learning form the wisdom of the body, and using the personal tools we have gathered through this journey of life. Feeling whole is what happens with personal integration, the result of exploration into our deepest, truest selves. All life moves us forward in the direction of well-being. We can resist it or we can actively work with it. We offer you processes to unfold to well-being. The renowned psychologist Eric Fromm speaks on well-being. Well-being develops knowing how to tap personal potential in the midst of allowing things to be. |

only to the degree to which one has overcome one's own narcissism; to the
degree to which one is open, responsive, sensitive, awake, empty (in the zen sense). Well being means to be full related to man and nature
affectively, to overcome separateness and alienation, to arrive at the
experience of oneness with all that exists--and yet to experience
myself at the same time as the separate entity that I am, as
the in-dividual. Well-being means to be fully born to become what one
potentially is; it means to have the full capacity for joy and for sadness
, or to put it differently, to awake form the half-slumber the average man
lives in, and to be fully awake. If it is all that, it means also to be
creative; that is, to react and to respond as the real, total man I am to
the reality of everybody and everything as it is. In this act of true
response lives the area of creativity, of seeing the world as it is and
experiencing it as my world, the world created and transformed by
my creative grab of it, so that the world ceases to be a strange world
"over there" and becomes my world. Well-being means, finally, to drop
one's ego. to give up greed, to cease chasing after the preservation and
the aggrandizement of the ego, to be and to experience oneself in the act
of being, not in having, preserving, coveting, using." Eric Fromm The Nature of Well-Being Awakening The Heart East west Approaches to psychotherapy and the healing relationship. |
