“If we open our hearts to the suffering of the world, the healer in each of us is called forth to manifest the qualities of love and compassion and relieve suffering wherever we find it. In our effort to heal others, we also heal ourselves.”   

–Frances Vaughan (American Transpersonal Psychologist and Writer)

Opening to Love

“To recognize an inner source of love is to access a source of self-healing without which therapeutic techniques and medicines are of limited value. Healing hearts and minds depends on opening to love.”


Frances Vaughan (American Transpersonal Psychologist and Writer)   


Finding Healing Compassion

“Reflect on all the love expressed by people everywhere who want to give and receive love. Feel the unconditional love of healers everywhere who want to relieve suffering wherever they find it. Remember that you are among them. You can find the source of infinite, healing compassion in the depths of your own heart.”

–Frances Vaughan (American Transpersonal Psychologist and Writer)
