Maria Toso’s signature process for releasing tension, restoring presence, and remembering the body’s wisdom.
HEAL WHAT HURTS
Heal What Hurts is more than a method—it’s a healing process, a spiritual philosophy, and the foundation of every workshop, retreat, and gathering I offer. Born from decades of teaching yoga and guiding others through inner transformation, it teaches us to meet pain—not with resistance, but with love.
Whether you join me on the mat, at a retreat, or through the upcoming book, this process will guide you gently home to your body.
THE BOOK
Heal What Hurts
How to Heal Emotional Triggers
Coming September 2025
The Heal What Hurts book shares the heart of this process through personal stories, spiritual reflections, and body-based practices. Each chapter includes experiential exercises, guided meditations, and journaling prompts designed to help you reconnect with your inner knowing.
This book will meet you where you are and guide you gently inward.
At the core of Heal What Hurts is a simple truth: the body knows.
We carry pain, tension, and memory in our tissues. This process teaches us to listen to the body’s signals, locate where the hurt lives, and meet it with compassionate presence—so that healing can unfold from within.
Rooted in somatic wisdom and spiritual clarity, the philosophy honors the cycles of nature, the intelligence of sensation, and the sacredness of stillness.
It is not about fixing.
It is about remembering who you are...

FAQs

Healing isn’t a destination—it’s a way of life. The deeper truth is that this process is a journey of reunion: with your own soul, your own heart, and the Divine within. Over time, you become your own best friend in your hour of need. You’ll no longer search for emotional rescue outside yourself, because you’ll know how to walk with God through your pain. That is the freedom—the peace—that no one can take from you.

Sometimes they are. The Heal What Hurts process isn’t about spiritual bypassing or blaming yourself for someone else’s harmful behavior. But it is about understanding: Why were you drawn into that dynamic? What wound or story made it feel familiar—or even necessary? If you don’t bring consciousness to that pattern, it’s easy to end up in a new version of the same painful spiral. This process helps you see clearly, so you can choose differently—and ultimately walk away, not from anger, but from alignment.

Yes—and your willingness to even ask this question is a beautiful place to start. The Heal What Hurts process is rooted in awareness, especially embodied awareness. It’s about learning to gently locate where old knots of pain live in your body—the places you’ve tucked away grief, fear, heartbreak, and shame. Numbing agents—whether it’s food, scrolling, alcohol, or overworking—make it harder to feel those places, which makes them harder to heal. But here’s the grace: you don’t have to be perfect. You just have to be honest. Even if you’re still using something to cope, the process will meet you where you are. Over time, as you build trust with your inner world, the need to numb naturally begins to loosen its grip. You realize that what you were trying to avoid is actually the doorway to your freedom.

Item descAffirmations can be beautiful—but if you’re layering them on top of unresolved pain, they can become spiritual wallpaper. The Heal What Hurts process doesn’t ask you to override your pain with positive thinking. It invites you to meet your pain with presence, listen to its message, and bring it into the light of Divine love. From that place of embodied healing, your thoughts begin to shift naturally—because your truth has shifted, not just your words.ription

Not at all. But many people find that as they engage with the process, a deeper sense of connection—whether to God, Source, Love, or their own soul—begins to emerge. This isn’t about dogma. It’s about learning to trust the quiet wisdom inside you, and to feel held by something greater as you navigate the terrain of your own healing. In that way, it often becomes a spiritual path, even if it didn’t start out that way.
