Mind and body have been separated and are like lost soul mates, each searching for the other in the wilderness. The dualism inherent in modern medicine maintains this separation, so we stay lost.
This feels especially true for chronic conditions right? Things we carry for a long time if not a lifetime. The healing can relate to trauma so long ago & buried deep - it metastasises. The challenge is how to unravel all that and knowing it isn't enough... While we love a pill to fix us (or a short course thank you very much).. the incremental shifts of healing take time and patience and some effort from us. I think the trick is to notice the shifts - let them be the reward to keep going. All too often we sink back into helplessness.. And if our comfort zone is discomfort we might just stay there.
