Embarking on a Journey to Heal Relationship Endings


Buckhorn, Gatlinburg, TN        photo by Laura Annan

A healing journey is essentially a spiritual exercise of clearing out the emotional landscape by exploring our inner world.


After the ending of a relationship, we are left navigating our way through a labyrinth of emotions. This means walking into the unknown and facing all that is presented along the way.

Where there is emotional pain, there is love. Where there is heartache, there is love. Love never dies, it just changes form. Just as your journey with your former partner began with love, this healing journey back to wholeness will also end with love. This is a journey, where the healing begins.

On the journey, you must be willing to be open and honest with yourself—about yourself. You must be willing to feel into yourself and be vulnerable. This, in itself, is an act of self-perseverance, which is necessary to navigate through what lies ahead. Make no mistake—this journey will push you, as it is an inward and intimate experience.

Your healing journey will be unique because it will reveal your personal story of all the emotional pain and heartache you are holding onto. How far you travel on the journey is up to you. With each step you will experience a new relationship with yourself unfolding, one that will help you create a new beginning that is free from the emotional bonds of the past.

I invite you to embark on a journey that will help you to heal and move on after the ending of a relationship, one stepping stone at a time.

Inside Nature is a Pattern of Movement

Inside Nature there is a language of creative energies that naturally takes place. 


According to science, energy cannot be destroyed—it only changes in form and is always in motion. Change, then, is a vital part of Nature, whose cycles are nothing more than energy changing form in a never-ending circle of movement that is never broken. A circle is one of the most universal shapes, as it represents the ancient symbol of unity and integration. Since circles have no beginning and no end, they teach us that for every ending there is truly a new beginning.

Matters of the heart are the most challenging when it comes to navigating through change, since the connection we have to the past and to others creates a series of circles. There is no way out of the circle except through it. To avoid getting stuck at any point on the circle or stuck in a repetitive cycle with no escape requires forward movement. Sometimes that movement may be painful, but it helps to realize that whatever truth we find along the way is a gift of awareness. With awareness we can shift your perception to choose a new path, to move us forward while paving the way for new experiences and new ways of being. It’s through this awareness that we can continue to consciously grow and evolve.

Alchemy in Nature

Nature speaks to us in many ways through her patterns of movement, where transition is the common energetic thread.


The deeper we explored Nature, the more we discover how her patterns of movement also apply to the human experience. Teaching us that death, renewal, transformation, and growth is the rhythm of life. Change is a creative part of Nature, just as change is part of our human evolutionary process of being here on Earth. Movement is the alchemy in Nature that also resides within us.

Life also flows by the energy of movement, because similarly our lives are a continuing series of changing experiences. However, as humans, we sometimes choose to stay stuck in our experiences because it’s easy to resist the winds of change. Change is the only constant in life. We can easily navigate through change when we are willing to be with it, as it is. Being able to harvest our experiences is an important component to how we grow and evolve. By embracing the truth, even when it’s unpleasant, we can begin to flow with transition rather than push against it.

We are living in a time of great transformation and powerful shifts. Now, more than ever, it’s time to move in harmony with Nature as our ancestors did. As we begin to reconnect with Nature, we once again become attuned to her creative flow of movement and we can begin to navigate through change with grace as part of the human experience.
