Last month we had a new patient who was a young man that had been an athlete for much of his life. He had a sustained different injuries as an athlete, and his back was now hurting a lot. We started care and I taught him SRI (Somato Respiratory Integration), encouraging him to do this regularly between visits at our office. After a couple of visits, he wasn’t seeing as much change as he had hoped, and I asked him how the SRI was going? He confessed that he wasn’t doing it. I get it. He didn’t see the value or what it would accomplish. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I reminded him that for much of his life, the only time he paid attention to his body was when it was in significant pain. The rest of the time, he was over-riding his body and its needs. He had been recently married, and I asked him how healthy he thought his marriage would be if the only time he listened to his wife was when she she yelled at him? He agreed that this does not make for a good relationship! Yet some of us have this type of relationship with our body. We ignore it and even mask symptoms until it has to scream at us in order to be heard! It is essential that we work to improve our mind body connection, and learn to listen to the whisper of our body. This can be accomplished through Network Care, SRI, meditation and other means. We are understanding the need for this more and more in our society. My Apple watch has jumped on this trend, including an app that prompts me, encouraging me to regularly make time for mindfulness. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Regular Network Care improves the brain body connection so you don’t need to rely on your watch in order to pay attention to the stored stress within your body. It allows you to listen to the body, hearing the whisper, so it doesn’t have to resort to a scream! Make time for Network Care and learn to listen to the whisper.<\/p>\n\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
