This week, some thoughts about healing.

“Your thoughts are not your reality, but your thoughts are your reality. What do you choose?” -Christina Kraft

This is a story of loss, recovery and finding a new path forward.

After years of education and work, Christina Kraft had established a successful dental practice. But her perfect plans for the perfect career was thwarted as nerve pain, bony structures and tissue inflammation prevented her from the fine muscle movements necessary in her profession.

But this was what she was meant to do! Who was she if not a doctor?

She eventually turned to integrative medicine and found a place that offered both continuity and growth in the healing arts.

Can you find elements of continuity and growth in your story? Did you believe it was possible when you started your journey?

“The answers lie within, and yet it can be a really long path until you figure out what it is that’s driving you.” -Christopher Lee Maher

Christopher Maher is a former Navy SEAL. His story is about his own healing journey, from the indomitable persona of an elite warrior to that of a healer.

Chris’ journey is all our journeys. It’s a journey about stripping away the hurt, the pain and the negative energies we all carry, to find health. It’s about relinquishing the false identities we carry to cope with life.

Have you had to strip away some element of a false identity? What did you lose; what did you gain?

“I think the whole experience was a gift. I wouldn’t change a minute of it.”-Cindy England and Hilary Donato Odoy.

This is a story of a transformative journey of healing, self-discovery, and spirituality for two sisters.

Hilary’s journey began with a cancer diagnosis that turned her world upside down. Faced with uncertainty and fear, she reached out to her sister Cindy, who had been exploring energy healing.

True healing, they discovered, takes place on a psychological, physical and spiritual realm. Each sister had to look deep at how their individual experiences of loss, stress, and emotional baggage impacted their lives. And both sisters shed many preconceived beliefs as Cindy’s energy work started Hillary on a healing course.

Do you believe that our beliefs are energy? If so, can our personal energy and healing be related?
