Painkillers – are we killing the Messenger?
Pain is an indicator and when we delve into the metaphysical, we discover it is one of the ways our Higher Self communicates with us. Exploring pain beyond medication...
Pain as a symptom
The human body uses these symptoms to alert you to a need for action. Many people, however, take a painkiller instead of looking for causes as we live in a culture where we are often led to believe that medication is the only answer or best option for coping with physical pain[i] -yet what is the potential risk of ignoring the body’s message? The use of opioid drugs has been topical with Dr Gordian Fulde[ii] discussing the risks of numbing pain and stating pain management is ‘multi-modal’, meaning we need to look beyond painkillers as a solution.
Medical intervention is not being dismissed but our symptoms are an invitation to 'dig deeper' and explore alternative therapies for lasting relief of pain.
Do you keep treating same problem?
If you regularly have massages for persistent muscle tension in your neck or shoulders; have recurring backache that has been assessed by your doctor and has no apparent physical basis; or suffer from headaches or migraines consider this: Like eastern therapies, alternative treatments such as kinesiology and Energy Therapies are based on the principle that every muscle group is related to a specific area in your body and that discomfort and dis-ease has a relative source. Energy Therapists and kinesiologists can help you to locate root cause of discomfort – whether physical, mental, spiritual, emotional stressors or even vitamin and mineral deficiencies that could be placing stress on body and mind.
Non invasive therapy
What if the root cause is a limited way of thinking, or an emotional limitation accepted in childhood? Time and again, pain can be found to be caused by a 'hurting' inner child or a spiritual imbalance - perhaps an injured auric layer or heaviness accidentally 'stepped into'.
In clinic, we often see belief system limitations, such as 'life is a struggle' or 'I don't deserve ease' being handed down from one generation to the next. Of course it creates discomfort - it must! These limiting beliefs are not who we are as infinite and Divine creators, here in the physical to experience joy.
Recognising where the source of our imbalance lies creates the potential to correct the symptom and return the body to homeostasis.
A Message from the Higher Self
Many will say, “I have bad knees” or “I slept awkwardly” or “I have anxiety” as a ‘reason’ for pain. Yes, we have the obvious reasons for pain and this is not to diminish them. When we delve a little deeper, however, the metaphoric correlation almost always makes sense.
Knee pain - Left: Issues with women in your life, sadness, hurt, loss, feeling like a victim, criticism and self-sabotage.
Knee pain - Right: Issues with men in your life, difficulties moving foward, limited thinking, fear of failure. Where do you not want to bend in your life?
Neck pain: Inflexible, unable to see another perspective, indecisive, frustrated, angry, looking for a scapegoat, taking on other’s problems, disempowered, disconnected with spiritual self.
Anxiety: Focused on past and future, not trusting life, feeling insecure/unsupported, helpless to change. Focussing on negativity/limitation and allowing self to wallow in fear. Courtesy of ‘The Secret Language of your Body’
When we are not intuitively connected to ourselves and our emotions, the Higher Self, the infinite and energetic part of our being, works to gain our attention. Using symptoms, it draws attention to other aspects of our lives that are not working as well as they could. When we understand this, we can be guided to better choices, harmony, and better health.
All is connected and we are so much more than our physical body - our spiritual self matters!
Does it work?
What have you got to lose?
For many people alternative healing does work. Like all new ideas, it is normal to be skeptical and energy therapies might sound unsusual. The good news is the results are often no less than transformational. Many clients identify significant reduction in pain at the end of the session. They state they feel calmer, relaxed or more energised. Many say they tried energy therapy/kinesiology as a last resort and wish they had tried it sooner.
It only takes one session to find out if it has value for you. You too can find there’s nothing to lose and much to gain.
Medical Notice: There are times when our physical body requires the attention of a doctor (never ignore physical or emotional pain or symptoms). Finally, energy healing/kinesiology is a complementary therapy, meaning it works with other modes of health treatment and it does not diagnose or seek to replace your doctor’s advice.
Thank goodness we have the gift of the Higher Self and our physical bodies and experiences to guide and remind us to return to our unlimited selves.
