Do you feel like you are wandering through your life? Maybe you don’t know what direction to go in next? Are you confused? Unaware or what to do or where you need to go next? Have you ever noticed people walking through a parking lot completely unaware of the oncoming car as they walk down the middle of the aisle?

I work with clients in my practice daily and encourage them to get in tune with their world and especially their body. The lack of awareness you see in someone in the parking lot will also mimic the kind of awareness people have around their body. The work I do in my practice works best when my clients are in tune and know what they want out of life and then I facilitate helping them get to that goal; health, family, career etc.

My clients complete a questionnaire and I ask them; What are your goals? What do you want to achieve? What do you want to look different in your life? We then go to work and help their body move through blocks keeping them from that achievement; physical, emotional and spiritual. They then ask, “what should I expect now that the session is done?” I tell them any change is a good thing.

I ask them to look for things like this:

Change in appetite, change in bowel habits, change in sleep patterns, change in moods, change in relationships, change in body parts, flexibility, changes in breathing patterns, changes in energy levels, what foods are you craving, do you have an decrease in gas and bloating, do you experience more headaches, what smells do you want to smell or avoid, is your stomach gurgling more than normal, who did you blow-up at, who are you more patient with, who are you more angry at, who at your work quit for a new opportunity?

Get the point? The possibilities are endless. Any change is what I need you looking for to increase your awareness and awaken the possibilities inside you. And the more you become aware of how your body, God, the universe is trying to communicate with you the sooner you are on the road to recovery and no longer floundering in the parking lot wandering aimlessly without attention to your path or dangers around you.

I gave you a big list of things to notice because nobody gave me this list when I started my health and wellness journey. I had very talented practitioners all around me that would speak of their “big shifts and changes” yet never really explained to me or understood my complete and total unawareness of my own body. One of my very dear friends said to me recently, “You always seemed like you had a spirit that wanted to know so much in a body without an owner’s manual.” It was a great description. She added, “It’s more fun to communicate with you now because we never have to say a word.”

Test your awareness. Ask another person to do this exercise with you. Look at them for 20 seconds. Then ask them to leave the room and change 5 things; maybe the remove one earring, flip their hair a different way, roll up a sleeve. Then ask them to return and see what you notice in the next 20 seconds. Were you aware?

My clients need to be willing to awaken and notice these kind of changes in order for me to work with them. My observation is that the ones that have awakened their physical body are the ones that make the biggest shifts in their life to achieve their desires. And since I completely understand that not everyone has awareness from the get go, I am sharing a great tool, Awaken Essential Oil. I call it my awareness oil. This oil is to help you become aware of limitless potential. It stimulates right brain creativity, supports the function of the pineal and pituitary glands in balancing the energy centers of the body and helps us identify our true desires and how best to pursue them. It is the first step toward making positive life changes.

I don’t believe any of us set out in life to become unaware. I believe we are so bombarded by stimuli that we actually “check out” meanwhile our bodies are screaming at us until our attention is achieved when a serious health scenario hits. Awaken your sleeping giant and listen to your body guiding you to your fullest potential. To learn more about this oil and its constituents that remove blocks and awaken greater awareness watch this recorded webinar: Awaken Essential Oil Webinar.

Have I told you lately that the work I get to do in my practice absolutely fascinates me? My clients have such an amazing desire to want to see change in their world and together we create magnificent results.

The theme of my practice has always been, “Oh, The Places You’ll Go!” Yes, the one by Dr. Seuss! I especially like the cover with the little character sitting on top of what looks like an inverted vortex. Ever feel like your world was caught up in a vortex?

Just ask my clients. They will tell you that where we end up or what we work on to address a health ailment is RARELY on their radar screen. In fact, I often feel bad for allopathic medicine practitioners because they are not taught the connection between the physical body and the rest of what makes you who you are. You know, the full you; spirit, soul, body, mind, will and emotions. That is why so many leave a practitioner’s office and never really seem to have good answers.

It would not be unusual for someone to experience a painful left ankle and for us to determine that it links to their kidney or perhaps a fear around losing their mother. I have worked with many that have bladder incontinence issues and we had to work on generational emotional hurts. These were not things my clients directly created, yet ailments passed through to them on their DNA. That is where epigenetics comes in. It may surface much later in life. All the body needs are the right circumstances set in motion or the right swamp to grow the disease or ailment.

I have worked with incontinence issues in people that have active memories of being bullied or exposed to high amounts of fear in their life. Once we allowed the body to clear those memories from that body part (usually the kidneys), their incontinence issues cleared also.

I have a number of resources on my website that will help explain this phenomenon, but it comes from the science of applied kinesiology for starters and then sprinkle in some acupuncture and don’t forget to add that our creator created one amazing body.

Let’s talk about applied kinesiology (AK). This is the science that I was first introduced to when I started my health journey. Some people refer to this as muscle testing, but the true AK practitioners know it is far more than that. In this science, they study how all the muscles in the body are related to different glands and organs so if one or the other is experiencing an imbalance it could lead to an imbalance in a totally unrelated (or so it seems) part of the body. Most people have been exposed to this concept through reflexology where the body parts are represented by areas on the feet.

An example. Let’s say your low back is hurting. It could be that your psoas muscle is not hydrated enough. You might experience kidney infections because this muscle relates to the kidney. You might also experience fear issues like I mentioned above and the kidney loves to store fear. This person might experience a power drain or uneasiness between 5 p.m. and 7 p.m. And they might think it’s just because they had a long work day. Your low back requires that psoas muscle to be in good working order because it attaches into your hip. When you are not drinking enough water, that muscle is compromised and causes you to start engaging other muscles to compensate. Back to the low back pain and thinking it’s because you had a long day at work. Eventually, your shoe store expert starts to recognize that your shoe soles always wear out on a certain side of the heel. Hmmm. I just described 90% of the population that is dehydrated! And did anyone connect that this all related to low back pain? Isn’t that amazing? Learn more about how the kidney can impact your world and follow the links to other organs you may want to learn more about.

Your body is built on thousands of connections like this and every body part relates to other body parts so if one is out of harmony, others will be out of harmony also like an orchestra. Now, I’m sure the theme of my practice makes a little more sense. “Oh the Places, You’ll Go!”
