Of course, awareness alone does not heal everything
And yet, it is a wonderful medicine that offers a soft place to land within yourself as you navigate waves of physical pain and emotional distress
Dr. James Jealous - an osteopathic physician - has said that 80% or more of all injuries and illnesses are caused by autonomic nervous system events (like overload, trauma, stress, fixation, collapse, disassociation), and I believe it
From something big like a car accident to something small like bumping my funny bone, I am 100% certain those things have happened as a reflection about something imbalanced in my life, or the underlying cause was something non-physical that I hadn’t yet digested fully at that time in life
Awareness is healing in the sense that you can metabolize your thoughts and feelings
When you become aware of right now…
🚶🏼♀️You can catch up with yourself
👀You can see more of what’s in front of you
🏡You can feel a little bit more at home in your body
Spending time with the birds and trees and flowers will always be my #1 awareness-supporting, stress-relieving, perspective-giving activity 🦆🌲🪻
