THE ART OF BODYWORK

I have to say that at this point in the journey, my title at work is probably best described as being a "professional life stylist " as my idea of health has evolved from being about the tone of my muscles and the weight of someone's body to a multi systemic experience of life.  Still, day in and day out, I am reminded how important it is for me and my clients to become better schooled in the art of becoming quite intimate in the nuances of their present human form. 

WE BARELY HAVE A KINDERGARTEN DIPLOMA IN BODY WORKS. 
It is just sad how little we in America actually understand this vessel we walk around in everyday. We have a hint of what is inside but if we really understood the artistic design in how one thing blends into and out of the functional ability of the other, we might then understand the underlying beauty and the grace amongst the science of how we were made.  Take for example the intimate conversations we have with both the...

 Om Namah Shivaya is a very popular mantra in yogic studies. For my lineage of study, a branch of the sannyasin and Shivaism loving sect, Shiva is more neutral as both the form of creator , preserver and destroyer force in the universe, all rolled into one.  I guess you can equate that in a religious sense to God.  Without the dogma, I just think the division of science and mystic spirituality broke medicine by creating a division of I and Us.  I think this mantra sounds a lot like the vibe of the OmHealing leaders in my Guru Goddess Tribe.  

“I aim to be both the force of destruction from the old ways and the creator of the new. This is a rising force of wisdom verses indoctrinated ways that no longer service the greater good. This is Om Healing.

THE CHANT SPEAKS TO THE BELIEF THAT WE SHOULD BOW TO A FORCE OF WISDOM GREATER THAN OUR OWN WHEN WE PROMISE TO CARE FOR CLIENTS 

So basically, if I say...

THE FIRE WITHIN TO CREATE SOMETHING BETTER USED TO BURN ME OUT
There are many times, prior to opening my private health care practice, when I would call out to that higher wisdom to keep my fire down when I really wanted to explode and say "WTF" to a resistant colleague trying to bring me down.  This desire to  curse out another colleague sent me often to a yoga mat to reignite my passion because their narrow view used to burn out my flame. Why the hell could they not see their personal potential? 

MY PERSPECTIVE OF DIRECT ACCESS MEANS FREEDOM.
Back in 2000 or so, my vision of a very logical and brave new Orwellian world was what I saw on the horizon.  It inspired and ignited me. This was a world where pregnant women were empowered to be amazing and birth in their own way without being made into a criminal or medical diseased patient.  Here moms of all ages were enlightened on their unique role as a health leader and CEO of their family and life and where...

The Problem

Most of the suffering of being a friend, wife, CEO, mom, entrepreneur and pretty much any role I or my clients play in life is a direct result of either 1) not knowing oneself intimately enough to say "The Hell with You" to the doubters or 2) putting on such a wonderfully convincing show of perfection that most everyone around you believes it.  

I try hard to cut to the chase of being real and confident in my initial contact with clients because I really want to get to the well of a solution and their relationship with their soul desires of the ego is often one of the hardest roots to soften.  My desire to sooth your soul while gently placing this in your line of sight is tricky because sometimes, the victim voice inside a stressed out mind wants nothing more than to blame someone else for the chaos. We avoid the obvious triggers we can control like the black plague. We all do it and boy that ego hates to feel a sense of blame pulsing in her own...

There is this fine line I walk when discussing the science of the body and the art of living a fully present and abundant experienced life with my three main communities.  First there are the empath filled, open hearted yoga therapists. Then there are the linear, one way from A to B science nerd Doctors of Physical Therapy and then there are the holistic Life and wellness coaches which run the whole field between being obsessed with smoothies and biceps to sound based physiological change.  I myself tend to focus on the energy medicine in everything from chanting mantras to evoking new patterns of movement and flow right down to cramping bellies affecting your pain. 

WE ARE COMPLEX

You can really imagine the complexity of how I understand a client's dysfunction and yet, it all blends seamlessly within me. That is a gift. Owning HER Health is in some ways a celebration of this. Each episode is a #gratitudeChat.
