| 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. 

 If this resonates with you, keep your ears, eyes and heart open here.
