Today we’d like to introduce you to Medina Surdulli. Medina, can you briefly walk us through your story – how you started and how you got to where you are today.

While in school, they taught us that pregnancy was considered an illness by its terminology.

An illness is "a disease or period of sickness affecting the body or mind."

What could that say about back pain? Is it a trade? Could it be a blessing preparing for something new? Could it have a metaphorical meaning to an "upright" life? Or is it this very annoying ache that eats at life instead?

If you have back pain, where does it originate from?

This is especially for the Balkans, the Desis, the Arabs etc that brush off, bash and mock folks for trying to have a healthier life by investing in their mental health.

You can be proud and happy about your background, but there is nothing cute when dismissing mental health for lazyness or foolish.

If your culture deems is "shameful" or "immodest" to talk about troublesome thoughts you are enduring, that culture needs to come to a hault.

Some things to keep in mind:
✴️Yes we are grateful.
✴️Yes we are aware there is worse.
✴️No you don't need to point either of those out for me to need help.
✴️This doesn't automatically mean my spirit is displaced.
✴️If my mental health is a disgrace to your reputation or culture, f*** them both.

P.s. As a person with lots of love for cultural anthropology and folklore, I love an respect all ethnicities and the knowledge and color they bring to the world. But if groups of people formed a culture (not the same as ethnicity) that involves keeping a mental issue or disability on the hush for "reputation" purposes, then it ain't it for me☺️

There is nothing true about this statement for you until you believe and do so for yourself. I cannot do anything for you nor you for me.

The body (your vehicle) is built by your subconscious mind. You are the temporary driver. Your conscious mind is the part where you decide to make a left or right turn at the signal. It is the indicator to your responses.

If someone tells says something that causes you discomfort, you can chose to say no to the thoughts that follow.

If you're sitting and unwanted thoughts creep up that bring unease, you have the right to say no to those thoughts.

It is one of the easiest things to do yet the most difficult action for many. It is a neat thing to be able to watch your body shift.

I notice I do this when I start feeling bad about myself or others. If the matter at hand is something I have no control over, there is no need for it. It not only wastes time but builds more waste in the body. If it doesn't serve you, you will serve it and accumulate anything that it offers.

When human touch is infused with benevolent intentions, divine things happen.
*****
🧠 The idea is to lower cortisol. You can do this by waking up the (PNS) through controlled breathing and being present during the massage. If a client has some sort of mental disability, it is exceptionally necessary that they keep in contact, verbally as well.

💪🏻 You probably don't need the firmest pressure. "Deep tissue" does not mean you'll be getting the best relief. Neither does firm pressure. There are many other modalities of movement and friction that can have a bigger impact on your relief.

💮 When the body regularly undergoes routine ease and manual circulatory flow, the benefits come in many aspects. After some time of regular sessions, blood pressure has been shown to decrease. Inflammation also decreases because there is more movement and blood that reaches the joints and tendons and all the beautifully designed muscle fibers 😍

Things to keep in mind:
Massage therapy might not work if you don't. The one hour session will not outweight the lifestyle you have outside of there.

In conjunction with massage and bodywork, it is ideal that you work with other professionals like, chiropractors, counselors, naturopathic doctors to help promote your healing.

Just like you might not like a type of food, you might not like all the therapists you come across. I know I don't click with all my clients, so they get referred to another. Do some shopping.

Sweet blessings and ease be with you🌺

I can't fix you, but you can be fixed.

I can help you, but you can help yourself more.

I can't heal you, but you can heal.

Your sessions in therapy(for anything) do not outweigh the work you are supposed to do outside of those sessions to see progress.

It took you X amount of time to get where you are in your journey of experiencing pain and trauma. The body is more familiar with the comfortable position of protection. The posture and the tissues have molded to accommodate your trauma. Thoughts of "me" and "what life did to me", continue to be formed.

No matter how uncomfortable healing feels like to you, please keep going💙🧠

Challenge accepted 😁

I heard the older kid on Baby Boss earlier saying something like "maybe having control over something let's others feel safe in trusting you with it".

When we chose our careers, we might've not thought about how others will hold us to account for the advice we give them or even our opinions.

Sometmes the mere facts that we are in the fields that we are and know what we have learned, are enough for many to credit us as their leaders in that area.

So, blessings and much prosperity to you and your businesses. May they flourish with a good grace!
