LOVE LIFE AGAIN
CALM AND RELAXED
This is the way to walk through life’s stresses and challenges. Of course, we all recognize that the life of the mentally ill can often be chaotic, exhausting and stressful. However, it is our philosophy that a life can be revitalized by calmly and peacefully putting the pieces back together. Finally, clarity and focus replace anger and unease.
Barn Life Recovery’s community-based holistic rehab center in Southern California was created to help put the pieces back together one breath at a time. To that end, our staff has seamlessly blended Ancient Far East healing traditions with cutting edge, modern and alternative mental health treatment. Drawing upon Oriental healing methods that have transformed and enriched people’s lives since before the words stress, depression, or addiction existed, the Barn Life Recovery addresses the entire continuum of recovery care.
OUR PHILOSOPHY
has one aim in mind. We manifest and nurture an environment in which our residents can have a unique personal awakening. For example, we believe that through our suffering we are encouraged to turn inward and focus on what truly matters in our lives. Consequentially, through these ashes of anguish, we are reborn as spiritual beings. Indeed, we walk a path NOT toward joy and freedom but a path OF joy and freedom. Finally, free from the bondage of self.
Our holistic treatment services include spiritual practices such as Tai Chi, Qi Gong, meditation, Martial Arts, Yoga, and Chinese Herbal Therapy. Additionally, we offer Art Therapy and Eastern Philosophical studies that help propel the newly recovering into a life of serenity, peace and enlightenment.
ENLIGHTENMENT
Enlightenment is a word often associated with Zen. However, it is widely misunderstood in American culture. Essentially, enlightenment means liberation from one’s self. In fact, it means that we have realized that something has gone wrong. As a result, we vow to bring this wrong back into balance and harmony. This is a state of enlightenment, the active participation in rebuilding of one’s self.
We believe that you have always had the ability to create a future vastly different from that which past events would predict.
