| Healing as a Journey |
Through the path of my own life and through witnessing the lives of those around me, in my practice and personal life, I have come to know that healing is a journey. The path to wellness is a rich exploration of ourselves and our lives. Some of my thoughts on this topic have been shared through social media, and I wanted to compile them here to elaborate as the thoughts evolve.
↠ Often when facing pain or a health challenge we want it to be over, fixed, healed.
↠Yes we can get from here to there, yet do we remember the journey? Could we recognize all the moments in between?
↠ What if we pause and are present with ourselves? There is often more information available in the subtle steady shifts in our journey back to wellness.
↠ When in pain, if we are initially drawn to the “heavy hitters”, the dramatic methods + fixes, what if we pause and connect with something more gentle and subtle?
↠ Something that invites us to explore + understand ourselves and the unique moment we find ourselves in.
↠ Our nervous system can now remember a pathway to wellness next time.
There can be specific Allies + Guide + Methods that we find particularly supportive while walking the path to wellness.
I found both Plant Allies + a Method when coming to know Whole Plant Infused Herbal Oils:
↠ When I first came into contact with with Whole Plant Infused Herbal Oils It was an invitation into relationship with the plant, with myself and the present moment.
↠ They offer a Subtle Scent that draws us in when they touched our skin.
↠ Their scents do not take over in the way that Essential Oils or Perfumes can.
↠ Herbal Infused Oils gently welcome us to understand, explore, and relate.
↠ Their intriguing scents encourage us to care for our skin + body + self often.
At times in a healing journey we reach a place where we choose to seek the help of another. We may be seeking insight, perspective, knowledge, or we may want companionship and witnessing while we move ahead. I have found it to be essential to find the specific support that will truly nurture our path.
↠ Are we seeking support to be fixed? Quickly?
↠ Or seeking practitioners who invite us to engage with ourselves in ways that bring understanding + trust of our bodies, hearts + lives.
↠ Practitioners who remind us that we can take responsibility for our well being in each moment.
↠ Practitioners who invite you to reorient to yourself, to explore with care and trust what is needed in each moment.
↠ These can be guiding principles throughout the spectrum from acute situations to chronic challenges and in times of full wellness.
