Health is not one dimensional. Sometimes we get ill for a reason. It may be an opportunity to look inside and reevaluate our individual life. This is not blame, this is a chance to look deeper and open more fully. From what I understand, and I will speak from my own body experience, is that most often the illness is a physical manifestation of an emotional or spiritual imbalance. Deep seated anger, discontent, grief, etc that has been tucked away and instead has slowly undermined and eaten away at our health from the inside. To be fully human can be supported by connecting with others that gently (and sometimes not so gently) help us to explore within, offering an emotional safety net, as we personally make the changes necessary as we encounter them, taste them, experience them differently. Although this is the business page, I wish to address this as a person, with personal body experience to support this thought. When working with a practitioner you trust, receiving regular massage and bodywork is a nurturing and nourishing experience, offering a safe supportive environment to reconnect with yourself, promoting self care, and a platform for personal growth. No medical intervention which focuses solely on the physical illness can do this. This is where my thoughts are at the moment, as a healing arts practitioner and as an ever evolving human being.
