Wayne Muller: The Greatest Barrier to Our Own Healing


The greatest barrier to our own healing is not the pain, sorrow or violence inflicted upon us as children.  Our greatest hindrance is our ongoing capacity to judge, to criticize, and to bring tremendous harm to ourselves.  If we can harden our heart against ourselves and meet our most tender feelings with anger and condemnation, we simultaneously armor our heart against the possibility of gentleness, love and healing.
