BACK PAIN AND CRONIC ILLNESS

Many of us suffer from a chronic illness or some kind of pain that, for all that we try, will not go away. Back pain, hormonal imbalance, high blood pressure, chronic fatigue, just to name a few. In today’s society there are many forms of treatment for the symptoms of the illness or pain, but, there are very few that deal with the actual cause of it.
Our body is really a culmination of our beliefs. By that I mean that we are what we believe we are. Just as some would say we are what we eat. Some of these beliefs are very obvious to us and are in our everyday conscious mind. For example, some of us believe we are too big or too small. However, there are sub-conscious beliefs that are in operation all the time. Many of these beliefs are around what we don’t have, or our perception of what is missing. If these beliefs are held deeply enough they can, in fact, cause our body to believe that. This, in my experience, is one of the leading causes of chronic illness and pain.
A big part of the healing of any of these long term issues is the understanding that we have a choice. Modern medicine does not consider this, and once something is considered chronic then it is treated as something that must be lived with. This, in my experience, is not true and is an area that Body Psychotherapy can help with. WE ALWAYS HAVE A CHOICE!
Body Psychotherapy works on the premise that our body, and the energy field that surrounds it, will always respond to exactly what we believe we are. If the flow of energy in both the body and the energy field can be restored to a balanced and harmonious state, then our body will naturally believe it is well and the normal healing processes can be restored.
I have found in my work, that many people with longstanding issues are able to firstly address the mental issue that holds them in a state of imbalance, and secondly realise that there is a natural state of health that is theirs to own and hold as their birthright.
There are many factors that contribute to illness and pain, and a lot of them are lifestyle choices we make. In a Body Psychotherapy session we look at both lifestyle and beliefs and find a way through, leading to balance and health.
Yours in health and balance,
