Maddog 'n' Miracles -- Attitudinal Healing -- What is it?
Attitudinal healing is based on the belief that we have a choice in how we experience life; that although we may not always be able to choose the circumstances of our lives, we do have the capacity to choose how we perceive those circumstances and how we respond to them.
Attitudinal healing is about living life in the power of peace and the presence of Love, regardless of outer circumstances. It is about moving through and beyond our fears in order to be truly present in each moment with ourselves and each other. It rec ognizes a Reality greater than illness, tragedy, or death -- the reality of Love.
Our intent is to support each other in recognizing and releasing fearful, limiting beliefs and attitudes in order to respond to life, moment to moment, from a sense of well-being and wholeness. We define health as a state of inner peace, rather than a bo dily condition; and we identify the healing process as letting go of negative experiences and feelings from the past, along with anxiety and fear about the future. We attempt to look beyond our differences to deeper, more universal truths.
Attitudinal healing is not a type of therapy or counseling. It relies on peer support and the recognition that we can learn something from every person and every circumstance.
Rather than analyzing or giving advice, we try to facilitate a caring, supportive, non-judgmental atmosphere for sharing, where each person is encouraged to find their own answers.
We offer the opportunity to examine those things that block our awareness of love, and to discover avenues to greater joy, peace and well-being.
The Principles of Attitudinal Healing are more than just words. They are an invitation to live life at a deeper level; to correct our misperceptions about the world, ourselves, and each other; and to open our awareness to the mystery of Love that lies ar ound us and within us always.
Has there ever been a better time to begin?
