Power Your Body & Mind
The best kind of medicine doesn’t come in a bottle – it comes from within
Your body & mind work as one.
20 years ago I was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis (MS). I experienced the tingling in my toes and over time, numbness in my legs leading to an inability to walk. I also went blind for a while. Thankfully, my story didn’t turn out the way it could have.
I sat in front of a doctor, who shared his professional medical opinion on what was happening to my body and I thought – “No. Just No.”
After what I would call a childhood and young adulthood of always looking after others and ignoring my own needs, I had something quite interesting occur. After the diagnosis, I continued to ignore myself and my needs, overtime inadvertently reversing the symptoms of my diagnosis. Following this realisation, I began to research the healing properties that already reside within the body. My body and Your body, and discovered that my healing went much deeper than I first realised.
Life is not about you, it's for you.
By validating my philosophy about life, in that it’s not all about you, we are called to stand back and observe. We observe ourselves, our physical Being, our spiritual Being and that of our mental Being. When we detach in such a way, we become something very different to what the ego would have us believe.
If ego lead the way, it would want us to believe in its superiority. It would have us believe in its importance. It would call for us to protect and honour it from external factors that might harm it in any way. This latter part is possibly the most important.
When we strive to protect and honour, what we actually do is open our bodies, spirits and minds to assault and injury. By believing that life is all about you and therefore EVERYTHING and ANYTHING is a threat, what the ego actually does is invite that which you are trying to avoid into your life.
Is opening your mind to possibilities
When we adopt the ‘life is for you’ philosophy, surprising things begin to occur. You no longer question who likes you or who might go against you, or if someone might be out to sabotage you. You don’t fear exposure as you once did because by taking the light and the focus from everything being about you, you simply relax.
Upon reflection, I wasn’t open to the MS diagnosis and I never associated it with me. I didn’t listen to a doctor just because society said they’re the best in medical practice. In fact, without realising at the time, I did the opposite. I took the road less travelled.
After seeing symptoms reverse, I decided to travel again. For someone that loved to explore different parts of the world, this seemed like a good place to start. But I didn’t just travel this time, I researched. I discovered Universal Reflexology, and from learning this on several continents, in Ireland, Australia and South Africa, I emerged with a new vision of what the human body was capable of, and a new intention for my life began.
Is nothing short of life changing
Often, industry voices say that energy healers are known for two forms of healing. One form of healing will naturally lead to the other, as if it has unlocked an inner wisdom that laid dormant until the code to unlock it was found. This is especially true of my healing journey.
Reflexology was my gateway to becoming an intuitive healer. This pairing, although each can be called upon in their isolated forms, work with the body’s energy. The body never lies. The feet tell a story, and so too does the energy you naturally project into the atmosphere.
Patricia Lavelle
Intuitive Healer & Reflexologist
This understanding of the energy that lives within us, helps to determine the path a person has walked, and the blocks that prevent them from taking the next step into the life they want to thrive in.
It may be a physical block that needs attention so that it can be released, leaving room for healing and expansion so that next step is possible.
It might be that it’s a spiritual block of something being out of alignment, and so both Universal Reflexology and Intuitive Healing work in tandem to align your chakras for you to feel balanced and in control.
It may be that you’re limiting beliefs are holding you back, but with gentle guidance you know that you’ll be able to re-write the present to become who you know you are. Whilst there is much of nature’s healing energy yet to be discovered, the one aspect I know for sure is that nature’s healing energy resides within you.
Patricia Lavelle has treated me for over 5 years and have always admired her professionalism and knowledge. She teaches at several colleges, both in Dumfries and England and regularly attends seminars on health matters.
