Welcome to my web site.

Ever since I can remember, I have been fascinated with the link between suffering and the healing power inherent in our bodies and in all of creation. So much of the time, spiritual teachers and authors skim over the painful part to get to the good part. But my life has not allowed me to do this.

I was hit by tough times early in my family, and within myself. On top of that, my work has taken me to the toughest neighborhoods and toughest patients. I had to have a bridge — a solid bridge, one that could not break — a bridge that would take me through my suffering to transcendence. I had to bridge that gap for myself and try to figure out a way to help my patients do the same.

This work has culminated in my book and an institute. The book is called "Healing Power: Ten Steps to Pain Management and Spiritual Evolution." The Northwest Institute for Healing Power is dedicated to training interested persons in the ten steps. Although I have closed the physical space for the institute, I continue to work to achieve its goals.

My goal is to contribute to the healing of individuals and to the light of the world. I am interested in your feedback and comments. You can contact me at pjlpw@comcast.net.

"Man is born broken.
He lives by mending.
The grace of God is the glue."

~Eugene O’Neill

". . .Move within, but don’t move the way fear makes you move . . . Today like every other day, we wake up empty and frightened . . .Let the beauty we love be what we do. There are hundreds of ways to kneel and kiss the ground."

~ Rumi
