Healing though all good things.....

 

Sometimes when I go to the sports massage therapist

I cry. Not because she is hurting me but because she

released some long ago injury that has been so tight for decades

and I thought I would forever be like that.

The connection between our bodies and our minds is amazing.

Just like that, I am freed of underlying anxiety from a pain that

occurred long ago. Be it surgery ( I have had 6 major back and

abdomen surgeries, 4 facial surgeries not counting my tonsils)

No one ever explained that all the trama, adhesions and scar tissue

can form lasting painful areas.

 In the past 2 years we have been working on them and 

also the broken knees, ribs and other running related injuries.

I feel able and stronger which I would expect .

I never expected the release I have gotten emotionally though

or the alleviation of so much hidden anxiety.

Over the past 2 years I have had Reiki and lymph massage

done as well. Both with equal success on body & soul.

As I further my healing journey and education, massage' therapy has 

been an important tool in my wellness toolbox.

The mind / body connection is a powerful one.

I can not help but think that with all of the strife

created these past few years, we could all use some of this

wonderful healing to find us a path forward.

Red light therapy, epsom salt baths, gua sha, grounding, homeopathic

remedies, sunlight, cold plunge, apple cider vinegar, caster oil,

pin dot glasses, walking, weights, whole & clean foods,

toxic free cleaning, forest bathing, probiotics .... and so much more

have all settled into a spot in our life as a way of healthy living.

Healing the mind, body and soul has been my life's work.

Not so much in a conventional way, but in a way that connects us to 

the natural energies of this Gods green earth.

There is so much free and available healing that is not contained

in a bottle or syringe.

The Herb Shed was my baby .

{ both the brick and mortar and this blog}

It was my apothecary where I continued to learn and teach

others. But now I know so much more....

I am in a new era from which I can give back an immense amount of 

knowledge and that is powerful & unexpected.

Back to massage ....

if you find just the right therapist for you....bravo!

Keep him/her as a valuable  member on your  health team.

I have THE BEST who was picked my God to heal so many broken

parts of my body.

{ actually I have been blessed to have had 2 }

It is the best investment by far I have made in my own health.

The steps I have gained in health both physically & mentally through

massage therapy have changed my life.

If any of you have any questions about anything I wrote

about today, please message or reach out to me.

I am always eager to help others find the natural healing that

I have.

Yesterday was a transformative day.

Overnight I awoke to crying...like hard crying.

It was strange and I have never done it before .

I did not sleep well as you could imagine so the rest of the day

was a bust...or was it?

I was entering a new phase of me.

One who had held in far too much over the past 4 years ( or more)

and was full. The strife, fear, loss and confusion....

It was time for me to cut the chains of the past and move forward.

ALL THE PAST.

All those things I never spoke of, rarely thought about.... the dark 

hard things that lived right under my heart .

I held them for so long.

It was time to let go.

And I did.

Just like that.

Let's eat!

One of my favorites for sure!

It reminds me of the flavours of my youth and is so so good for me too.

My new music track for my day consists of Fleetwood Mac

70-80's rock...Asia, Kansas, Boston.....

The happiness I feel listening to them is immeasurable .

Happy Friday friends.

May you have joy & love & happiness and most of all,

peace. Peace in your hearts, minds and souls.
