Spirituality of Healing - James Finley Digital Download

In this conference , James Finley shares his latest work on the contemplative approach to healing trauma and all forms of suffering. Drawing on his experience as a clinical psychologist and his knowledge of the contemplative tradition, James Finley guides us in exploring the steps to becoming a healing presence in the midst of a suffering world.

Seven Steps to Becoming a Healing Presence
1. Be grounded in your experience of who you
are as a human being. Take responsibility
for your own healing.
2. Have faith in the subtle flashes of spiritual
awakening that occur each day. Trust these
moments as they reveal that you are more
than just ego.
3. Recognize the root of suffering as
estrangement from spiritual experience.
Discover the root of happiness through
spiritual experience.
4. Explore the mystics’ path of prayer and
meditation that heals the root of suffering.
5. Follow the path of the saints in
compassionate love that heals suffering
lodged in our minds and hearts.
6. Learn to live in the moment that
transcends suffering while in the midst
of suffering and that transcends death in
the midst of death.
7. Devote yourself to the lifelong process
of becoming a healing presence. Be
resolved to continue living in this way
until the last traces of suffering dissolve
in love and only love is left.
