"Psychiatry in the Soul"

What I love about this image is the way it combines Nature with peaceful human activity, which has created a sense of protection and warmth, a sanctuary, or sacred space in which soul can thrive . . .

Comment by Luna Arjuna 6 hours ago: Nothing in the field of mental health will do more good and reduce more harm than encouraging withdrawal from psychiatric drugs. The time is past when the focus in mental health was on what drugs to take for what disorders. Now we need to focus on how to stop taking psychiatric drugs and replace them with more person-centered, empathic approaches. The goal is no longer drug maintenance and stagnation; the goal is recovery and achieving well-being.

Comment by Carmen Elsa Irarragorri-Wyland 17 hours ago: Great advice!

Comment by Luna Arjuna 23 hours ago: Observe yourself when you feel fear or anger. Focus on the feeling, not on what's caused it. Not the stimulus, the stimulation. Most strong reactions we feel are reactions to the past, not the present (if it's hysterical it's historical).

We will be more effective when we move beyond unconscious programming and respond from a place of peace. When we deal with information not inflammation.

Comment by Carmen Elsa Irarragorri-Wyland yesterday: SO TRUE!

Comment by Luna Arjuna on Tuesday: Make sure you talk to yourself like someone you trust.
The way you speak to yourself on the inside becomes the way you show up on the outside.

Comment by Luna Arjuna on Monday: You do not heal by silencing the storm. You heal by sitting in it until it recognises you are not afraid.

Comment by Luna Arjuna on February 27, 2026 at 6:48pm: The first thing humanity needs to do is have a revolution of consciousness, to look within and at our own shadows, the parts of ourselves that lead us to feelings of disdain, or hate towards others and also ourselves.
We need to look with eyes of compassion for ourselves, forgiveness for past errors that taint our minds and hearts . . . .
We are all worthy, we are all powerful, and can acknowledge so through the fact that we are still here, hearts beating and heads facing forward in an uncertain world.
We need a revolution, one in which we all play a part. A revolution of kindness, compassion and forgiveness of ourselves and one another . . . .
Peace comes from within, not from just wishy washy, fluffy thoughts, but by embracing our own darkness and shining our light upon it.
. . . .
Let's not turn a blind eye - let us look within and to one another with open eyes and hearts.
