Beyond the Prescription Pad for Healing.
I used to experience this strange stomach pain for years. It was like someone was cramming their fist under my left ribcage. I can’t tell you how many different doctors appointments, blood tests, CT scans, and ER visits that all came up empty handed to understanding my pain. Instead, each experience gave me more stress hoping and waiting for positive results. It was so frustrating!
At one point during the visit my primary care doctor told me it might be all in my head. She suggested the symptoms were likely psychosomatic in nature and concluded that I was depressed and anxious. At the end she wrote prescriptions for an antidepressant and a very addictive anti-anxiety medicine.
I remember thinking, “But wait, I’m here because of my stomach pain…”
While living with that diagnosis was depressing, I truly didn’t feel depressed or anxious. I was frustrated and overwhelmed with living with chronic pain that no one could fix.
There were times that I felt crazy but I never filled those prescriptions. I knew in my gut (no pun intended) that something was wrong and I continued my quest to find answers.
I discovered another way. It included a functional medicine doctor and energy healing.
Energy healing has been a practice used for thousands of years to heal physical, emotional and spiritual conditions. It is a very broad term that encompasses many different methods. While each energy healing practice is unique, the common thread is that they all look to discover and balance the body’s own natural healing energy.
By targeting and balancing these deep, root cause connections, the whole body can move towards a state of wellbeing. This is what our bodies are designed to do. When given the right conditions, it can heal. For some people, energy healing replaces conventional treatments. For many others, energy healing is a powerful addition to what they are currently doing for their health and wellbeing.
Each energy healing method addresses the mind-body connection and how that connection can impact physical and emotional conditions. Unlike Western medicine approaches, which has relied on medications (which often only masks the symptoms) or invasive surgeries, energy healing is based on the idea that every part of the body is intimately connected.
I’m not saying there isn’t a place in Western medicine for prescription medications. There are people who truly need them and who absolutely benefit. Unfortunately, it’s been the go-to solution for every modern day ailment; with lackluster results and may even cause harm.
The United States has one of the highest rates of medical induced death in the world. We think, as patients, we have no other options and we are desperate to feel better so we accept this limited approach.
For me, after over a decade of pain that affected my quality of life and emotional wellbeing, with energy healing, not only am I free of pain, but I healed so many other emotional issues along the way that now I live a very different life, one filled with so much calm, peace, and gratitude.
