Abstract
There is a source of healing that is often overlooked: the power of the human spirit. What gave me strength and courage on my healing quest were my ancestral ties, family, nature, meditation, movement, music, and sound. The family ties and modalities not only helped to reduce my pain and anxiety but also helped me to connect to the sacred place deep within my heart where inner healing resides; it is the connection to spirit and all living things that gives a deeper meaning to life. The journey and the practices described here can inspire others who are facing serious health challenges of their own.
