Valuing You

The most powerful restorative images are those that reinforce our deepest values. They include: basic humanity interest in the well-being of others; love; spiritual connection; appreciation of natural and creative beauty; community connection; compassionate behavior.

Miracles

Do you believe in miracles?  Dr. John Chirban, psychologist and theologian at Harvard Medical School present one school of thought about the psychology of miracles. He quotes a number of researchers who have scientifically documented miraculous healings that have taken place in a variety of faith traditions and settings.

Several authors document how the immune system and mind effect healing and health, related to belief and perception.

Advances in neuroscience reveal how healing changes occur and affect enhanced functioning in the brain through meditation, mindfulness and prayer. 

More and more scientific investigations confirm the significance of spirituality for our well being; deepening our awareness to our spiritual nature invites a deepening awareness to our life.
