Disease as a model for learning...

Not a day goes by when a member of the practice does not mention how something "hurts" or is "not right" or "this part has been bothering me". It seems so convenient to disassociate oneself from their body. It is so easy to say that problem is the "neck" or "low back" rather than to wonder if it reflects our life in other areas? Is there an emotional prospective producing this physical condition? Separating the mind from body can make us the victims of our condition. I just finished a wonderful seminar by a very famous Chiropractor, Dr. Donald Epstein and his concept of healing definitely includes a point of merging with our feelings and our suffering (from any disease). Integrating our disowned parts can lead us to a journey towards wholeness and aid in healing. As a Chiropractor, I always enjoy awakening the nervous system so that the body and the mind can be better connected to improve prospective.
