Hello/Aanii
I am a Registered Social Worker with the Ontario College of Social
Workers and Social Service Workers (OCSWSSW) who braids psychotherapy
with indigenous and eastern practices. My personal perspective is
that the body speaks the mind when we have an interrupted
communication within the body-mind-spirit connection. The body-mind
has a beautiful wisdom for knowing when it is time to address our
various issues. It will try to get our attention through physical
symptoms. In our western society, physical symptoms tend to receive
more recognition or acceptance than our mental and/or spiritual bodies
(actually, we are body-mind-spirit, all-in-one). Depending on
familial and generational belief systems, we may have grown up valuing
the physical body over the other parts of ourselves. A possible
outcome may be an interruption in the communication within our
body-mind-spirit system. In my own experience, with ongoing
development in awareness and communication, I manage my own
discomfort/pain and wellbeing. We are not meant to only survive in our
lives, but to also thrive. Our true state is love and joy.
