The unconscious gains a symbolic voice that gives new meaning to their lives and to the art of healing itself. \"Each of us is moving towards wholeness at all times, whether we're aware of it or not,\" says Remen. \"To become aware of it is to be able to tend and nurture that process.\" Weber agrees:\u003cspan style=\"mso-spacerun: yes;\"\u003e  \u003c\/span\u003e\"Life is a sand tray, and there are many ways that we can expand and use the unconscious wisdom.\" \u003ci\u003e(hosted by Michael Toms and Justine Willis Toms)\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: .0001pt; line-height: normal;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; line-height: normal;\"\u003e\u003cb style=\"mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;\"\u003eBios\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: .0001pt; line-height: normal;\"\u003e\u003cb style=\"mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: .0001pt; line-height: normal;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;\"\u003eRachel Naomi Remen, MD (1938-2026) was a pioneering physician, author, and\u003cb\u003e \u003c\/b\u003emind-body medicine teacher.
