Continuing our Wellness Journey - Feeling
This week our journey focuses on Feeling, the 6th of 12 keys to wellness in the Wellness Inventory. We experience feelings and emotions from well before the event of our birth. They can be intense, or frightening, or wonderful. They can also be the most misunderstood, and consequently mistreated, gifts we have as human beings. We judge them, repress them, discount them, drug them, worship them, and run from them. Yet, what a bore to be without them! Life fully lived is life filled with feeling!

Spiritual Wellness - "Contemplating Sacred Stories" - Philip Goldberg, Ph.D.
The scriptures of every tradition can be seen as multilayered gifts whose value grows with each new level of meaning we can unveil. In "Contemplating Sacred Stories" Philip Goldberg suggests digging deeper into spiritual texts to read metaphorically, not just literally. Stories that endure century after century, are those which resonate with archetypes embedded in the human psyche.
