Our bodies are energetic not just flesh & bone & our biochemistry is influenced by our  beliefs &  emotions.

When there is an imbalance in the physical body there is an imbalance in the emotional body as well.  There is a purpose & meaning to all disease, illness & pain. Our body is constantly sending us messages as  in how to restore balance for example; if we have been overdoing it in the garden we end up with a sore shoulder. Having a few days off gardening & resting the shoulder & adding some gentle stretches may relieve the pain & we carry on. 

If we don't listen to these messages they get louder in the form of pain  &/or emotional discomfort.

Sometimes it is hard to understand what the body is saying. Where not sure what is going on & it's all confusing & frustrating.  Ancient medicines have always know that the way to health is through understanding the connection between the discomfort in the physical body in relation to the beliefs we hold our emotions & environment.

Clues are found in ancient chinese medicine, metaphysical anatomy & more recently in Psycho - neuro - immmunology (PNI). Many culture acknowledge that stress affect the body. In Chinese medicine each organ also contains a dominant emotion & relationship to other organs. Metaphysical anatomy is based on hrs of observational studies & the likes of Louise Hays noticing the stress response within a persons body. More recently the field of (PNI) opens up scientific research into the affects of stress on our neurology & immune system. 

This is where we start.

We also explore patterns of behaviour formed in childhood that are repeating themselves today. As children we learn to behave in certain ways to meet the approval & hopefully the sense of love from our parents. This is a way we have learnt to survive & get our needs met. These ways of being become a habit which we continue throughout our lifetime for acceptance & to keep ourselves safe. But through this we loose touch with out 'authentic self', who we really are, who we really want to be. Our goals & dreams become repressed because of our beliefs of lack & possibilities.

We don't even notice this a lot of the time because it is 'normal' to think this way, but our body knows. Out body tells up when we are pushing ourselves to hard, when we are in stress & if we don't listen these symptoms & pain get louder. Joining the dots between our beliefs our emotional health & our physical health brings so much relief. We can release tension & pain & through this gained awareness make changes to heal our body.
