What does it mean to be well?
What does it mean to heal?
When is a person healthy?
When is a person real?
All my life I have been fairly fit
But really my life was repressed
By religious formation
And deprivation
But you never would have guessed
To take a child before they have grown
And to form that child for one life
To remove them from ordinary pastures
To tell them you can’t have a wife
This is incarceration
A prison without any walls
Obedience enough to keep them in check
But later thank God comes the falls
The search of our life to be wholesome
To be what in essence we are
But the roads that we walked didn’t help us
But still we follow the star

+ Gabor Mate, in his talks, shows us how trauma is what happens inside us when we are coping with the events of life that cause us pain. The journey into our authentic selves is a great journey. Hope you find your way.
The mission of Jesus to heal people is a holistic mission that embraces the whole human being in body, mind, heart and relationships and environment. Being well, being healthy is a far deeper and wider truth that the narrow model of western medicine.
