“…people often become suicidal when they desire a ritualized and symbolic death of an old way of being, of an old life or identity.”

“…a longing for simple things like beauty, silence, connection to nature, story, rites of passage, peace, and initiation into our fuller selves.”

“…in addition to developing the proper eyes with which to see, I must also cultivate the proper feet with which to walk the path. One gains the proper eyes and proper feet, I have found, by slowing down.”

“An old therapeutic axiom in Gestalt psychology: the healing of a wound must come from the blood of the wound itself. In other words, the healing of an emotional or psychospiritual wound is brought about precisely by entering into its terrain, not by avoiding it.” 💯!

Soul fragmentation from trauma:

“Our lives are meant to be steeped in peace, yet when we are living within a state of soul loss, our destined unfoldment toward a life of peace is postponed until we have become whole again. We feel ‘beside ourselves’ until we are reintegrated after a harsh experience or trauma.”
