"A wave does not have to die to become water. She is already water. She only has to touch her true nature. When she realizes she is water, she loses all her fear."
— Thich Nhat Hanh
Why Silver Wave?
So much of traditional medicine expresses itself in imagery and metaphor, and so I have chosen the image of the silver wave to describe my intention for this practice.
When we look closely, all of life is a wave in its simplest form. All light, sound, and physical matter are vibrating, and so too are we. We take form, we grow and evolve, and eventually we surrender our identity to merge again with the ocean.
This practice is devoted to nurturing life, supporting its many transitions, honoring the integrity of the individual, and celebrating the larger context in which we are all held.
Silver is the color of reflection. It is an acknowledgement that the only way we know ourselves is by looking in the mirror of each other’s eyes, and in the wholeness of the natural world we came from. Whether we get to meet in the treatment room, in the classroom, or simply through the resource of this website, may both our lives be enriched and blessed by the opportunity to share in each other’s presence.
