“It’s O.K.”-healing through compassionate understanding
Why? I sat slumped in a chair, clenching my jaw in anger. Why did I look in the mirror and see a huge, fat body staring back at me, but the scale showed no sign of weight change. Time and time again I had experienced this and it did become less with each encounter, but why couldn’t I just like myself?
I was ready to give up, ready to give in and let the familiar cycle of self abuse take control and destroy me. I looked to the phone and back again to the largely distorted figure facing me in the mirror.

Instead of stuffing the batch of freshly baked, chewy oatmeal cookies down my throat, I looked in the mirror with disgust and turned instead for the telephone. I really didn’t want to talk to anybody when I was feeling so low and vulnerable about my self image, but after many previous years of a silence tongue, I learned that it is these times when it is most important to share. I called Ondre because I trusted him, I knew he would understand me without judgment and be practical about my ill proportioned situation.
On this particular day it was not the hands on healing or any lecture that gave me support, but instead, the minimal words, “It is all O.K.” that Ondre spoke with a compassionate certainty. The simplicity of his response quieted my aggressive mind, resonating across my body and giving me yet another opportunity to love myself.
