"A true healer does not heal you;
she simply reflects back to you your innate capacity to heal.
She is a reflector, or a loving transparency.
A true teacher does not teach you;
she does not see you as inherently separate from her,
or less than her.
She simply reflects back your own inner knowing,
and reminds you of the vastness of your being.
She is a mirror, a signpost.
And love is the space in which all of this is possible;
love heals,
and we learn best in a loving field,
no threat of failure, no punishment."
~ Jeff Foster
