Over the years our bodies go through many experiences that can be emotional and create physical pain. This can affect your mental Health. These experiences are stored in the cells of our bodies. Your cells remember trauma, physical and emotional. What happens to our bodies over time when we continue to store up all these memories in our cells? We can suppress our emotions and pain with meds or drugs that help you forget the pain. But the memory is still there.
Since all the cells in our body are connected, then we could say that our minds have the ability to change thoughts to effect at the cellular level. At some point we start to listen to our body.
We begin to pay attention to areas where pain seems to reoccur. When we really listen and pay attention, we can hear just what the body needs or prefers. Sometimes it may be in forgiving ourselves or someone to release the pain we are holding on to.

I am a Massage Therapist and Reike Master. My husband and I believe in community and wellbeing. We promote health, exercise, and being kind to the body. The body has its own wisdom to heal itself. Getting body work helps the body discover itself. Your body comes more aware of its needs. Begin listening to the body. Slow down and relax into the knowing within you. Listen, meditate and learn. The body has much to tell you.
