The natural state of the body is wellness. Not simply the absence of disease, but an overall feeling of health and well-being ~ physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. When the physical body is out of balance, work on the other parts of ourselves tends to be much more difficult. Blindly taking herbs, remedies, or even multivitamin supplements may actually contribute to imbalances rather than promoting health, balance, and wellness. By evaluating, understanding and utilizing individualized nutrition strategies, along with Ayurvedic (Dosha) assessment, we can obtain more complete and accurate information whereby supplementation, essential oils, remedies, and dietary changes may be suggested based on the client’s individual constitution and true nutritional requirements.
Lifestyle
By the evaluation of social factors, i.e., relationships, career, recreation, spirituality, in addition to diet, rest, and exercise, one learns how their core beliefs contribute to and shape, their health, life, and world view. At Heart 2 Heart, clients are invited to participate in a holistic approach to managing and maintaining their health. By learning about and integrating simple changes into their daily lives, clients learn to develop a sense of responsibility for their health instead of relying upon conventional medicine’s “quick fix” philosophy. This results in substantial attention being directed towards boosting / maintaining immunity, and overall balance in body, mind, heart, and spirit, so the need for treatment of illness can potentially be minimized or eliminated.
Mental~Emotional & Spiritual Counseling Soulutions
By identifying the true (metaphysical) causes of why we become sick ~ emotionally and physically, we can recognize the mechanisms by which we can heal ourselves. The use of Bach Flower Essences and Essential Oils encourages emotional and/or spiritual issues, which may not be obvious, to surface for clarity and transformation. “Mindfulness” is taught as a technique to help one live in the moment; learning from the past and planning for the future, without attachment to the outcome ~ ultimately learning to live each moment more joyfully. By understanding the creative power of our thoughts, “self-talk”, and actions and how these affect outcome, one becomes better able to respond to messages of physical and emotional “dis-ease”. Appropriate action may then be taken toward healing and fulfilling a sense of life purpose.
Techniques, tools, and courses such as self-hypnosis, Primordial Sound Meditation, Yoga, Pranayama, Body Intelligence Techniques, Past Life Regression therapy, prayer, emotional releasing, and therapeutic touch can assist the client to tap into the wisdom within. This brings about clarity of thought thereby cultivating Peace of Mind, Body, Heart, and Spirit.
