This human body is a guest house. Every morning a new arrival.
A joy, a depression, a meanness Some momentary awareness comes As as unexpected visitor.
Welcome and entertain them all Even if they're a crowd of sorrows Who violently sweep your house Empty of its furniture.
Still treat each guest honourably; He may be clearing you out For some new delight.
The dark thought, the shame, the malice, Meet them at the door laughing And invite them in.
Be grateful for whoever comes, Because each has been sent As a guide from beyond.
Jallaludin Rumi

Each of us must take responsibility for our own healing. We can't just turn it over to others. Healing in it's essence is about breaking through the fears associated with life - fears that we don't want to face - and finding our own special inspiration, a vision of the future, that we know we're here to help create.
James Redfield - The Tenth Insight
