What is Spiritual Healing

(Or what I often call True Healing.)

True healing is not about fixing yourself. It’s about waking up to your true nature—the part of you that has been present in every moment of your life, untouched by experience. This deeper Self isn’t shaped by trauma or circumstance. It remains whole.

As we begin to contact this aspect of ourselves, we discover a new capacity—one that can hold the pain, confusion, and trauma we’ve endured. The conceptual self—the ego, the identity—can’t do this. It gets overwhelmed, because it was never built to carry the weight of life’s deepest challenges.

But as we rest more in our true nature, we also rest in the vastness of Life itself. And that vastness has room for everything: fear, grief, love, joy, and even the parts of us we’ve long tried to avoid.

True healing means cultivating an inner environment where the unconscious beliefs and survival stories we’ve identified with can begin to be seen and released. These stories keep us feeling separate—from Life, from others, and from ourselves.

The more we see through them, the more love begins to reveal itself—not as a practice, but as what we are. And from that inner connection, the process of healing unfolds naturally. What I’m speaking to here is primarily psychological and somatic healing. But as we heal at those levels, we often find that other forms of healing begin to open as well—energetically, relationally, spiritually.

Healing is not about becoming better.It’s about letting go of what blocks us from being who we already are.

For those of us who’ve experienced deep trauma, abuse, or violence, healing often requires help. These experiences create inner structures and beliefs that don’t dissolve simply because we understand them. Contrary to what the mind believes, healing doesn’t come from understanding why something happened—but from accepting that it did happen. This is what some traditions call radical acceptance.

And this is why one-on-one support can be so valuable. Few of us were taught how to witness, embrace, and let go on our own. It takes presence, practice, and often, another human being to help us hold what we’ve never had space to hold before.

My work with individuals is centered around this. I support people who are ready to reconnect with their true self—to learn the inner skills of presence, witnessing, and compassion through mindfulness and meditation. Not to transcend their pain, but to finally meet it. And in meeting it, to let it move and release.

Because true healing is not about becoming something new. It’s about remembering who you’ve always been.
