Insights into Holistic Healing

Stepping Into Your Body

7/19/2023

​I recently watched the movie "Air," the story behind Air Jordans and was drawn to the line "A shoe is always just a shoe until someone steps in it."

Our bodies are like that.  For the most part, we share the same organs, muscles, tendons and body parts.  These tend to work in similar ways.  Our hearts beat, our lungs fill with air, our stomach and intestines digest food.  We all have this in common.

But the container that we live in is just that, a container.  A group of living organs.  I've been exploring for most of my life what it means to step into this container.    What does it mean to become embodied?

As I’ve explored this, I’ve found that listening to what my body is saying is an incredibly powerful thing.  Stretching my spine every morning has gotten rid feelings of neuropathy in my legs.  Strengthening the muscles in my legs has meant no more knee pain.  Lifting weights at home has kept my bones strong. Eating foods that have a high nutritional content and taste good, has meant a healthier GI tract.

Working with patients, I find that the same thing is true. As they gain an awareness of how to stand and move properly, their pain is reduced and their lives are filled with more ease.  When they eat healthier, things like brain fog and acid reflux go away.

This isn’t about rocket science, rather it’s small, steady changes that over time allow us to be more embodied, more conscious of our experience in our physical being.

I continue to help people have this experience of living healthier by offering Japanese Acupuncture, Craniosacral Therapy and Wellness Counseling.
​
If you are interested in improving your health, here are 2 ways to get started.
  1. Schedule a free online consultation.  I’ll review your health history and let you know how I can help you be free of pain.  I’ll talk to you about the benefits of acupuncture.
 
  1. Schedule a half hour Craniosacral Sacral treatment.  This will get rid of stress you may be carrying and give you the opportunity to be relaxed and in your body.
 
  1. Make one small change today – eat an extra vegetable, walk for an extra 5-10 minutes, breathe deeply.  Notice how you feel.
 
Here’s to your good health and happiness!
