title: Healing relationships: building effective teams.
abstract: Healing is a mystery that can be so profound that even the most intellectual among us cannot understand it. Healing is a life-affirming process that builds on a one-to-one relationship. We can change. We can be different. We are able to change relationships by influencing others. The past can be altered and brought into the moment, and change begins. We do this by changing our belief system, altering our behavior, and opening our hearts to healing. Changing is a personal choice. Healing allows one to move beyond the present, let go of judgments, nurture oneself and others, and balance growth opportunities. It is through natural processes that healing is allowed to happen even though we may not be familiar with the healing methods or they may be beyond what we consider natural.
