about
unsui healing is about working with ourselves. it is about learning to see ourselves clearly and without judgment, and at the same time slowly breaking the habits which we find self-defeating. this means that we’re going to try to use all the material on this website for that purpose. even our about page is a good place to start.
are you aware of what is happening in your mind and senses as you are reading? maybe your eyes have already jumped all over, looking for pictures. maybe you’ve noticed the absence of capital letters (or you’re just noticing it now) and have thoughts about that. or, you may have decided that this is a particularly boring site. perhaps you are reminded of someone and flooded with memories.
we want it that way. it might be a moment where you recognize you can slow down and be drawn in. listening more deeply and sensing within self to notice your own reactions. learning from the little things that are happening, and maybe even becoming aware that you are calling yourself names. that’s what we want most. for you to see yourself, as you are, without the judgment. when we see ourselves clearly, without judgment, it is easier to change things. then growth, or adaptation, happens easily. and we keep seeing more and more deeply. when we judge ourselves, we are simply too afraid to even keep looking. our reaction is to turn away. and then we repeat our old, and probably dysfunctional, habits.
unsui healing is structured in such a way that later sections or topics build on earlier ones. it is only when we’ve done the work with mindfulness that we can truly appreciate the work of meditation. and it is only when those practices are familiar to us, and recognizable in our doing and speaking, that we can truly become more consistently aware of our being. the journey can be painful, because we need to allow for things we would rather push away. and so, we want to provide rest, heart opening, and resilience to our journey. which brings us to the sanctuary. at the same time, you will be the only one who truly knows where you are on this journey of maturing. unsui healing wants to provide the tools for this deepening of capacity and insight.
we are not a business
the material that you will see here has been gathered from the major teachers in every category. over many years. sometimes the information is simply summarized, and at other times adapted to provide an overall picture of the path of healing, and the processes involved. in our experience, going through the material more than once is necessary. initially, we read with all our defenses intact, and without much awareness. as we engage with the material and do the practices, rereading often means deepening our insight. or being reminded of something we’ve lost sight of.
unsui healing does not sell anything and the website is freely available for general public use. we’ve gathered content from sources and, where credits were clear, we’ve repeated them. we trust that if you find material here, which you believe belongs to you, you will also notice that we’re happy to advertise you. if you feel that you are misrepresented, or not acknowledged, please reach out to us using the contact information at the bottom of this page.

how did we start?
johann became a therapist because he felt driven by unconscious forces which he could not understand. and, in the beginning, he did not even understand that. gradually he became more aware of the manifestations of a traumatizing past and started finding material to understand and heal. a few years ago, he developed some material for workshops, dealing with trauma, mindfulness, meditation, and psychotechnology. in his private practice, he started sending clients some of the material. finally, it made more sense to create an online platform where the information could be available to everyone. and where people can grow at their own pace.
heinrich, riëtte, and jason were already part of a discussion group around the material, and because of their individual skills and strengths, the project became possible. so, what do they each bring to the material?
johann: the compiler: psychotherapist of more than 30 years and has walked deeply within a few spiritual traditions. he compiles the material and feels deeply about it.
heinrich: the content editor: heinrich is a practicing psychotherapist, with the capacity to challenge johann. he looks after what we say and don’t say. and when the spirit is upon him, he writes with deep reflection.
riëtte: the crafter: riëtte loves making things beautiful. she looks after our image research and the nitty gritties of bringing the content together.
jason: web developer and designer: jason looks after all the technical aspects that allows us to share this content with you.
our wish
unsui healing wants to provide everyone with the psycho-spiritual tools that allow for healing our trauma and developing our insight and emotional intelligence. we don’t claim to have the final say, and the material provided comes from great authors within the field of self and consciousness development. the only thing that is original about unsui healing is the way material has been put together, in order to provide a gradual path of deeper focus and deeper insight.
a work in progress
we are a small team of four people, and all still learning how to develop and maintain both the content and the technology that makes it possible for us to share unsui healing with you. sometimes things break or don't work the way they should, and we understand that this can be frustrating. when this happens, we welcome both your feedback and your patience. please reach out to us using the contact form at the bottom of this page if there is anything you'd like to bring to our attention.
you will also note that only the material for the mindfulness section is currently available. we will be dedicating 2022 to the development of the meditation section, and 2023 to being-knowing. the sanctuary section is already being worked on behind the scenes, and will be expanded on alongside the development of the other sections.
