About Heart of Healing

Heart of Healing was the name that Mary Maddux used when she first opened a private practice in energy healing.  She started the Heart of Healing website in 1999 to share her work.  As she began to write, the phrase "heart of healing" came alive and began to take on a life of its own.  It has revealed many meanings over the years, and the website continues to grow as a medium for the exploration of various topics. 

Beginning with their collaboration on the creation of The Ease of Being CD, Mary's husband, Richard Maddux, became increasingly involved in the work of Heart of Healing.  The newly revised and expanded Heart of Healing website is a reflection of their work together as they blend their backgrounds and talents. 

Our Philosophy
We acknowledge that anything is possible in healing.  The body is a marvelous self-healing mechanism, and we often underestimate the ability of the body and the human spirit to recover from illness and trauma.  At the same time, we emphasize the difference between "curing" and "healing", affirming that while curing does not always occur, healing is always possible. 

We support the broadest possible definition of healing -- "to become Whole", acknowledging that the experience of Wholeness is available regardless of any situation or circumstance.  Above all, we feel that while the pairs of opposites are always present in life -- pain and pleasure, joy and sorrow, darkness and light -- it is nevertheless possible to experience inner peace.  This is possible through an expansion of awareness which allows us to embrace a larger perspective and discover more refined qualities of love, compassion, gratitude and joy which lie beyond surface appearances. 

When it comes to matters related to healing and spirituality, we are all involved in a journey of learning.  When we learn something with someone, we may call them a "teacher", but in reality, everyone's understanding and experience is unique.  We are all "self-authenticating" -- even when we decide something based on an "authority", it is ultimately our judgment that that person is an authority and we make the decision to honor the perspective or information received from them. 

We encourage everyone to believe in themselves and what rings true for them.  We hope to encourage freedom of exploration and expression, as well as trust in oneself and the larger Life of which we are all a part.  There are a myriad of viewpoints, as many as there are people.  As ones perspective becomes broader and one grows in wisdom, tolerance and compassion, it becomes clear that no one viewpoint is "correct".  The best test of the "rightness" of a belief is whether it serves you and supports you in having a fulfilled life.

Our Website Products
When we began recording guided meditations in 2002, we started to offer the CDs on the website.  Since then we started adding other products which we feel are exceptional for promoting expansion of awareness and healing.
