The Blessing Way
The Counseling and Teaching Work of Paul Weiss
A Dharma of Integrated Human Development and Conscious Loving Presence
Welcome to The Blessing Way, and to the continued evolution of the work of The Whole Health Center, founded in 1981. The word 'bless' comes from a root meaning to blossom, or help bring to full flower. When we arouse our primary commitment to support the full blossoming of life in ourselves and others – and as we learn to release the old habits that obstruct our capacity to bless and to receive blessing – we are walking the blessing way.
There is a conscious and loving presence wanting to express itself in our lives. And there is an inner wholeness in living systems that is expressed as our capacity for reciprocity, responsiveness, and love. This wholeness is at the core of our evolution and of our journey toward becoming our best selves—psychologically, socially, emotionally, and spiritually.
This site is entirely an invitation to that work. We welcome you to explore its offerings of programs and talks; workshops and trainings; and counseling or mentoring, live or online. Or work with us to create a program tailored to your community or organization.
