There is an interesting discussion from an Ayurvedic perspective that says…
‘If we take medicines our health will improve a little.’
‘If we change our diet and adjust some of our routines, our health will improve a little more.’
‘If we change our personality, we will heal, transform and have long term wellness.’
What does all of this mean?

Medicines are external to us, they can improve the functions of our body and in doing so they can have an impact on our mind and our energy, possibly offering us more vibrancy, peace, calm and wellbeing to our days. But, they are still external to us and if our habits and will are strong, we can be taken back to our imbalance quite quickly, or we need to take the medicine long term.
Changing our diet and looking at our daily rhythms and routines can bring about more substantial change because to do this we need to have more awareness about how we do things and what we put in our body. We start to notice how this makes us feel and whether is it right for us or not. This process can bring about change that definitely supports our overall wellbeing.
If we consider changing our personality, it refers to the aspects of us that we think are fixed and we are subconsciously, or even unconsciously, driven by. However, most things, if not all, are not only subject to change, but are things we can change consciously as we learn how. This requires a deeper relationship with self than the above two situations, but with taking that commitment to Self deeper we can feel the most profound changes to our body, mind emotions and we can start to feel the presence of our souls journey, which ultimately reveals our personal purpose, answering the question of why am I here? This answer comes not from our conditioned thinking mind, but from the perspective of our soul.

Everyone has this available to them, and everyone has a unique journey available to them. A part of my personal journey has been in and through the body. I find somatic experiences the most potent because they connect me directly to felt sensation, which helps to make this inward journey more tangible. I can feel sensations arise, shift and change as I start to explore this inner terrain. The language of the body is like learning any new language. It takes time, patience, lots of listening and discerning, so we don’t interpret from our thinking mind but from our feeling body.
The body tells us where we’ve been, what we’ve experienced and how these experiences have affected us, and how they have now created an environment that keeps us safe. Every system in the body becomes a part of this safety need, every cell, every organ, every muscle, everything that appears separate yet makes up the whole. In this need for safety and for the body to create an environment that reflects this, parts of us get forgotten, left behind, blocked or ignored. If expansion and breaking free from these safety patterns are to occur, a harmonious whole is required.
If the goal is safety, which seems to be everybody’s unconscious goal, (let’s face it, we’re all survivalists) this means we have lots of survival patterns, all programmed in an attempt to keep us safe. These programs consist of past experiences and how they affected us, that turn into beliefs that keep us in a wheel of misfortune. There is only so far we can expand from a need for safety. Using movement, breath, meditation and stillness we can be guided deeper into the landscape of our inner world. When we arrive here we can spend time listening to the language of our body.
We soon start to learn how our posture affects our mental/ emotional state. How our gait affects our whole experience in the world. How our organs are affected by the way we do or don’t move and how everything is connected via an intricate web of communication called the fascia. The fascia is an incredible communication system that wraps itself in and around every single part of our internal system. It is a connective tissue that is responsible for all connections to take place. The health of this connective tissue and all connective tissue throughout the body is paramount to our wellbeing on all levels, and the healthier it is, the better we can discern what the body is telling us.

Our muscles have a story to tell.
Our bones have a story to tell.
Our joints have a story to tell.
Our organs have a story to tell and an emotion to be expressed.
Our fluids have a story to tell.
Our brain and nervous system have a story to tell.
These stories will always reflect each other and make sense. These stories will start to give us a broader picture of our patterns – psychological, physical, emotional patterns. We start to tangibly experience that most of this information stored is from the past – this life and others – that makes our physical experience what it is now. The more we listen and show up to this process and for ourselves, the more we can decide how to support ourselves in making the changes we wish to make. We start to see a whole new world of possibilities. This world sits beyond the world we look out at and experience via our senses every day. Our senses become a part of our safety mechanism.
This world is the intelligence behind our senses and the world we look out on. There is a different order here. There is a different language to learn. It is here that we find our place in the bigger picture. What we came to create and to offer in this lifetime. Where we fit, not only in the physical reality, through what we do, but also where we fit harmoniously in divine universal order. We all have our place. For everyone it is different and there are many paths in. This is why I offer such a variety of entry points. Ayurvedic lifestlye consultations, conversation and unpacking beliefs and learning how the brain works, Body work and Akashic record work which looks at the roots of our karma and supports us to understand patterns we came to unravel.

Together we explore your path in and once you’ve found what resonates for you, you continue to develop your relationship with it so it becomes the light that guides you to inner awareness and expansion. All three options of medicine, diet and changing patterns which in turn integrates our personality and our soul are an integral part of this journey to wellness. No option is better than the other and we’re all here to experience what we came to experience. This is a process of getting in touch with that information so we can learn to trust life and where it leads us and to learn to surrender our control to how we think it should be.
