The journey inward is one of the most rewarding aspects of healing circles. Here, we breathe and come into our present. Here, we listen to our bodies and what they are communicating. Here, we find a path into an inner world of guidance.
All paths to cultivating this inner attention are welcome: silence, meditation, visualization, bodywork, healing touch, Reiki, yoga, tai chi, qigong, and others. Beginning by listening within first keeps our sharing authentic in healing circles. Practicing these different disciplines with others can be a silent healing circle, rich with swirling energies—and love.
