Spiritual Healing: human hearts reaching out with love

We can heal ourselves spiritually, physically, and emotionally, on deep levels, when we reveal what's in our hearts and give up painful confessions. Watch this video to see how a former KuKluxKlan member and civil rights activist heal old wounds:



It's truly powerful, and it reminds us that we can heal anytime. We can heal each other, healing together, as we heal ourselves.

Healing injury pain- mind and spirit need healing, too

Grief and healing from injury pain can go beyond physical hurt. Our minds, our souls, and our identity are affected when we are in pain from injury.

Think of these principles, too, when you help a loved one cope with an injury. How deep is their pain? As a friend, support them by helping to address the psychological impact of their injury. Here are a few tips for helping them cope:

* Talk about the contributions they have made to their industry/field/occupation. If they get stuck talking about "what could have been" or "what will never be", get them refocused on all of the great that has already been done.

* Give them mental stimulation. Share books, books-on-tape, music, and any hobbies they can do during their recovery. Talk with them in-depth about a variety of topics.

* Focus on their whole self. Don't just talk about their injury, their doctors, their treatments, etc. Remember who they were before their injury and stay positive.

When you, or someone you love, is injured, let this information remind you of all of the healing needs, on all levels.

Are you in pain? How did you get there? Did your pain come on suddenly, from an accident, or gradually?

Pain is an important signal. Even if we don't like its discomfort, we must respect pain and understand its purpose. Practice tuning in to your pain. What are your muscles trying to tell you? What is your body feeling, beyond the pain? Are there deeper connections to these painful symptoms?

For recovery, try to understand therapeutic pain. If you avoid going through it, you may force your body to stay in an injured state longer.

Back Pain: Heal your back injury and relieve pain by uncovering old trauma

When clients are in pain, our Higher Spa staff perform an initial intake. We ask them about their injuries, physical history, and lifestyle habits like exercise. Clients who have recently sustained an injury will often attribute their pain to that one injury, or single event.

However, pain in back muscles may arise from past trauma. And this does not necessarily mean past events. Find out more about your body's past injuries, micro-trauma, and muscle history. Learn how habits can make your back muscles vulnerable to damage:

Using Body Memory to find and heal past trauma

Is your body stuck in a time warp? Do you wonder why some daily aches and pains won't go away?

Perhaps there is a way to tap into your body's physical memory to heal past traumas, through your senses.

Your body is like a computer, storing endless memories of past experiences, including trauma. Many health practitioners suggest that every cell in your body has its own memory. How do we tap into this "data bank" to heal past traumas?

In the interesting and fun science website, LiveScience, they explore the concept of body memory in "10 Things You Didn't Know About You". Our memories of past events are strongly tied to sensational memory, according to authors.
"Memories are highly embodied in our senses. A scent or sound may evoke a distant episode from one's childhood. The connections can be obvious (a bicycle bell makes you remember your old paper route) or inscrutable. A recent study helps decipher some of this embodiment. An article in the January 2007 issue of Cognition reports that episodes from your past are remembered faster and better while in a body position similar to the pose struck during the event."

So, how can one make the connection between physical and sensational memory to heal past traumas?

If your body seems to be stuck in holding patterns, incapable of learning healthier ways, you may want to explore deep-seated emotions by stimulating your senses.

For example, spend a day smelling everything. Stimulate your olfactory senses with scents. No, this is not intended to be aromatherapy. This is intended to stimulate physical memory and emotion.

When you stimulate the senses, acknowledge any emotions that arise. Follow your "gut feelings" and explore them. You might discover some deep-seated trauma that is being "trapped" in your body. As you tap into those memories and emotions, you may be surprised by the healing that can transpire!
