Healing...It's Your Choice  People often ask me "What can I do to facilitate the healing process? Is there anything I can do on my own to increase my body's healing?" Or "I feel stuck; can you help me?" The specific answers to these questions are different for each individual. But by exploring a general approach to these questions, we can begin to discover our own unique answers. To begin, let's take a look at pain and/or symptoms. It is well known that a person may have pain yet be very healthy, and another person may have no noticeable symptoms and be quite sick. We hear of these examples from time to time...the man who goes in for a check-up and had never been "sick" a day in his life -- and discovers his body is riddled with cancer. Because neither pain nor symptoms are a reliable indicator of one's level of health, Network Spinal Analysis (NSA) utilizes many assessment tools to determine if the body and nervous system are getting healthier or sicker..... regardless of any symptoms or pain a person may be experiencing. There are parameters within the body that indicate whether the system is becoming more able to resolve tension stored within it, or is having challenges in doing so. They also indicate whether the system is getting "better" or "worse." "Better" means more breath, more flexible, and more refined in its ability to respond to changes in the environment. "Worse" means less breath, less flexible, and less able to respond to changes in the environment. This brings us back to the original questions...what is it that we could all do that would facilitate more ease, more breath, and more life in our personal experience? A few recent examples from our office can shed some light on the subject. Providing care for a person over time, I become well-aquainted with the feel and general tone of their spines and bodies. For most people, changes are incremental, and patterns can be persistent. At times, people may even feel like they have reached a plateau. This is what had occurred with these 3 individuals: Person 1: In care for one year. Nice changes but persistent pattern in neck and pelvis. One visit, she comes in without the pattern showing up, and her nervous system is completely shifted in the NSA parameters. Coincidentally, at the same time she got out of a relationship she had been in for years. Person 2: His parameters totally shifted after he got a new job in a new town with a new car. Person 3: She had been under care for years; doing well but had reached a plateau. She ended a relationship and moved to an island, a long-time dream of hers. The last time I saw her, she was doing great! What is the common denominator in each example? In each case the person involved changed their story. Changing one's story involves examining one's life as if it were a script. . .is your story working for you? Is your story one which fills your days with awe for life, passion for living, and loving relationships? Or is yours one that keeps you depressed, angry at the world, or afraid of being hurt? The way to evaluate your story is to listen to your communications with others about your day to day life. What is it filled with? Does it need rewriting? You can start today. Start by examining your choices. The choice to free your body and nervous system of interference is always a wise one. Each of the people in the examples stated that they were able to make their changes as a result of receiving Network Spinal Analysis on a consistent basis. They felt clearer and more empowered to make a shift. We can all use more clarity in our lives. Keep getting adjusted and remember...The choices are yours. |
