The Dharma of Healing: The Path of Liberation from Stress, Pain, and Trauma

The world is in turmoil because of its trauma. Our unhealed psychological wounds block our innate expressions of wisdom and compassion, setting the stage for ongoing conflict, division, and stress. Our fate, both individual and collective, lies in our capacity to heal emotionally and spiritually--and for that, we need to remember the power, resilience, and essential goodness of our own hearts. Justin Michelson walks readers through an ingeniously simple approach to healing and spiritual insight using a unique and powerful form of self-compassion rooted in Buddhist wisdom. With 39 guided meditations that systematically lead readers through a comprehensive inner journey, Michelson provides everything that's needed to confidently walk the path of healing ourselves. Synergizing modern styles of emotional work with timeless spiritual practices, he shows how we can recognize painful emotions, transform difficult feelings into positive forces in our lives, and find our spiritual home within. The Dharma of Healing is an essential guide for anyone who longs for inner peace in a world that is so rarely peaceful.
