Dancing through life is something I was talking earlier regarding the broken health care system and how it’s heaving at the seams, has prompted me to give you some tips for a better understanding of your own mind-body connection and what you can do better to be healthier:
When you’re ill and need to visit a medic hopefully they’ll give you a diagnosis.
We’re often given a generic term, depending on the doctor, where younger gen tend to be better at inclusion.
We likey 🙂
Your Mind-Body Connection
But if you’re anything like me, I want to know the in’s and out’s in every which way.
Such is my journey along the mind-body connection process I’ve been following since falling in to it 20+ yrs ago, looking for answers to questions.
In case you aren’t on this road, yet, I recommend:
1-Asking for the medical term
2-Writing it down
3-Googling it at home
This gives you more information to dig into and learn about what’s going on in your health and how it integrates with your life experiences.
You can also google any medications you’re prescribed so you can ask further questions with the doctor or pharmacist.
Consider whether it’s the right time to make some lifestyle tweaks.
Build a good relationship with your GP if it’s feasible, although its less common to find a consistent medic in the NHS at the moment. It makes a difference. See what Jo said in her video testimonial on the home page.
Alternative Health Models
All of the above gives you further details to take to an alternative health practitioner, should you want to understand yourself better by digging deeper.
Adhering to the German New Medicine (GNM) model, as I do, I’d follow a diagnosis up by learning what the emotional stress-based cause is in order to take further actions on that front, i.e. eczema in the epidermis is a separation issue caused by a conflict shock (gnm reference) around missing someone, something or rejecting either.
Here’s what Jo said about clearing a skin breakout she had.
Which organ an issue shows up on your body is a set of clues.
Which side of the body it’s showing up is a further marker.
It’s got a touch of the Sherlock Holmes about it and highly valuable.
Walking both sides of the divide is where I’m at.
I’m currently undergoing treatment with Dr Katherine Willow a naturopathic doctor of four generations, who offers a combination of naturopathy, nutrition and GNM, that we’re using with marked success.
She’s on linkedin but not posting so you can search for her.
Making Health Your Personal Development Tool
If it’s an emotional stress related, lifestyle motivation to change some things area then I help with that and trained in a GNM inspired model.
I’m not saying what are you going to change in 2026 because it’s evident we’re all a work-in-progress where knowing you want to make changes and making those changes has an entirely different energy.
New year or not, taking responsibility for our own health, is the most valuable personal development tool I’ve ever come across.
If only the health service was more about wellness than illness, we wouldn’t have to wait until things went wrong before we took the reins.
What’s your experience been like in recovering from chronic health issues?
