‘The goal of therapy is to help the patient go beyond intellectualisation and rationalisation and other restrictive maneuvers to the point where she can move into unchartered territories to seek and find the anguish and terror of total realisation and discover that she can survive.

To know that life can be truly absurd and capricious; that one is not omnipotent; that without magic as the ultimate defense, there is pain at times which hurts more than words can describe.

And after the grief and the mourning, not only for the lost objects of one’s fantasies, but for the fantasies and illusions themselves, to be able to live relatively without illusion.

To know Time as a friend as well as an enemy. To recognise that happiness is not a condition, but an ephemeral and precious experience, that if one lives without illusion one must impart meaning to one’s life; that hope must replace expectations and demands; that activity must replace passivity; that realistic hope must be directed towards the expansion and growth of one’s potentialities, which implies experiencing more richly both sorrow and joy’  Fred Hahn in ‘On Magic and Change’, in Voices, October 1975.

If you are attracting a certain type of relationship, or are wanting to give yourself the best chance of relationship-survival then read on! Continue reading →

All too often we dismiss the emotional factors in accidents and illnesses, or we don’t even realise there are emotional factors to our health challenges. We tend to think that we injure ourselves by accident or that an illness within a body part of bodily system is just coincidental. But have you ever considered that the illness or complaint you suffer from might actually be a message from your body that is trying to emerge?

If you have repeatedly injured a body part then this can denote anger at what that body part represents, or for the more flexible thinkers out there, it can be ‘past life’ or 8th chakra issues that are still resonating within your bodymind now. Injuring a specific body part can also mean you are sabotaging yourself in an attempt to move beyond a personal issue. Emotional factors also play a fundamental part in the activity of viruses, parasites and bacteria in the bodymind. Bacteria thrive in an emotional environment of fear, viruses are fed by anger and fungi represent hanging on to old stuff. Here are some of the health issues I have experienced and the emotional factors involved.
