How do we surrender to life’s flow?

The first time I met Eileen O’Hare, I knew she carried deep wisdom. Eileen is a shamanic practitioner, spiritual healer, and teacher, and she is also the founder of The Healing House in Beacon, New York. Her journey from a successful Hollywood writer to a spiritual guide is a testament to the power of transformation.

In this episode of Embodied, we explore trust, healing, and the courage to step into the unknown.

In this hour-long conversation, we explore: 

• Healing isn’t linear. We revisit old wounds, but each time with deeper awareness.
• Trust opens new doors. When we surrender, we move with life rather than against it.
• Our past shapes us. We inherit not just genetics but also emotional wounds and belief systems.
• Burnout comes from unexamined patterns. Understanding our inner drivers allows for sustainable growth.
• Community is key. True healing happens in connection with others.

Hitting rock bottom and finding the beginning

Eileen’s spiritual path began with a stark realization:

“I just don’t want to keep doing this for the rest of my life.”

After achieving success in Hollywood, she felt empty. A breakdown led her to a profound shift in perspective:

“When you float or fall or drop to the bottom and you actually can accept and acknowledge and deeply, deeply know that you're at this place... then a magic door opens up underneath you and you find that you're not at the bottom, you're at the beginning.”

Her journey is a powerful reminder that what feels like an ending is often the start of something new.

The spiral of healing

Healing is not linear. Eileen describes it as a spiral: “We all hold space for each other as we keep circling around. But, you know, the next time it’s a little deeper, the next time it’s a little higher.” Each time we revisit an old wound, we see it from a new perspective, moving forward with greater awareness and growth.

Trusting life’s flow

Surrender is a lifelong practice. One mantra that carried Eileen through uncertainty is simple yet powerful:

🌀 I surrender, I trust, I am grateful.
🌀 Show me the way, I am willing.

True healing is not about control—it’s about allowing.
