What is your sacred story?

Creative self-integration highly involves a heightened awareness of the story you believe and tell about yourself. You are your own living document and what makes you absolutely beautiful and unique is not what you have experienced in life, but how you have responded to those experiences. Historical and documented stories reveal all that is possible in the human condition and what you have experienced in your life is not so unique. However, who you have become as a result of your experiences is the beauty of what makes you unique and what you have to offer and share with others - including how your present in the world. You have sacred stories, not to tell, but to share.

You are dynamic - meaning that you have contained with you, the gift of growth and change - you have "free will". As you learn and evolve, the ways in which you perceive your past and current experiences also change. Your life story is dynamic. Although the facts and reality of an experience do not change, a shift in your perception of the experiences changes everything! Introspection and self-inquiry are two powerful tools to support your healing and wellness journey.

What does my story have to do with "whole-person wellness"?

What you believe and affirm as a personal truth influences how you present in the world - psychologically, emotionally, and physiologically. You are the result of what you ingest and believe through the process of assimilation.

You may be familiar with these concepts through "The Law of Attraction" or "The Law of Magnetism". Although "The Law of Attraction" has been viewed with some skepticism, today's science of Quantum Physics has proven the interrelationship between two particles thousands of miles apart from each other that have the same experiences simultaneously; what happens to one also happens to the other. All systems within the organism (mine and your physical body) are interconnected - the brain, heart, liver, lungs, kidneys, blood flow, vitamins/minerals, oxygen, amino acids, limbs, etc. are interconnected and dependent upon each other. Although you may be having issues with your stomach, that doesn't necessarily mean that only the stomach is impacted or that the imbalance resides only in the stomach - it's beginning origin may have begun in the esophagus or oral canal or even with the teeth.

The energetic frequency within human cells directly impacts it's ability to replicate, duplicate, and distribute biochemicals throughout the body. If a cell is unhealthy, there is sure to be an imbalance somewhere within the organism (human body). The ways in which energetic frequencies are understood in holistic and/or natural medicine is that the energetics within your living cells results in it's in/ability to function properly. This technique of reading/determining energetic frequencies for assessments and restoring balance has been practiced for tens of thousands of years across many cultures including Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), Ayurvedic Medicine, Native American Shamanism, and Ancient Egyptian Medical practices long before the development of "modern technology" and/or pharmaceuticals.

All health and/or mental health related issues are either functional or structural. Many autoimmune diseases are functional diseases which can be treated and managed through mind, body, and spirit practices by restoring balance to the energetics of the cells of any given structure. Belief systems, emotions, and attitudes play a part in the energetic frequencies within your body. An example of how emotions and/or attitude might impact your health would be something like eating while angry or with little mindfulness with regard to "why" or "what" you are eating - "eating on the go" directly impacts the biochemistry within your nervous system impeding the ability of the digestion system to properly break down and distribute nutrition - if there was any nutritional value to what you just consumed. Over time, pathologies will emerge such as gallbladder, liver, or pancreas malfunction (just to name a few).

Are you truly stuck and are things only as they appear?

The answer to that question is a profound "Yes!" - things are exactly as they appear so long as you believe them to be true. Anything that you believe to be true renders it so. So long as you believe it to be true, then it is true. Unless you change your perception and beliefs, things will remain the same.

The Deeper Dive.....

Your story is a powerful testament and declaration to the infinite possibilities within life's experiences. So, what is your story? How do you present in the world? How do you speak into existence the truth of who you are? And, most importantly, whose truth are you living into? Who/what has influenced your life story? Is your story of your own making or is it a self-fulfilling prophecy based on what you have been told and have accepted and integrated? Whose life are you living? What does it mean to be sovereign?

As your Counselor, I will share tools and strategies designed to assist you in shifting the perception of your personal truths, with rewriting your personal and life story, and to stand confident in your personal truth.

Honoring your sacred story with reverence...

Healing, growth, restoration, recovery, and aspiration are not only possible, they are inevitable as you learn to re-script your sacred story. Your sacred story is about you, what you have overcome, what you have learned, and what you have to share with the world. As you begin to re-write your sacred story, you will be challenged to release and let go of the old story and to be honest with yourself regarding what you choose to hold on to and why. As counter-intuitive as it may sound, there is something within that keeps us attached to our pain - somehow, our suffering has been tied into our identity almost to the point of quantifying our value and worth.

Learning to hold your story with reverence deprives others of the assumed privilege of telling your story and/or dictating to you who you are. You will be confident in reclaiming the truth of who you are without hesitation, doubt, or explanation.
