EMDR

(Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing)

The eye-movement technique is used in traditional therapy settings. The eyes can be invited to move by following the therapist’s cues. Often a vibrator is used pulsing left side of the body, and then right side of the body. Sound can also instigate the eye movement.

The intention behind this technique is to review a past event while the brain is processing in an altered state. It may instigate a calming effect, so the memory is processed differently. It may bring different recall to the specific memory.

Grounding

(Otherwise Known As Earthing)

Grounding can be done by walking barefoot, laying in the grass, or using grounding systems that are sold online. 

Grounding is based on the idea that the Earth’s electrical charges can positively impact your health, mood, and body. Some research suggests that grounding can:

Reduce inflammation, ease stress, improve sleep, improve mood, improve blood flow, and reduce pain. ²

Inner Child Healing

“Many childhood experiences have become, of necessity deeply buried in the unconscious during the process of developing one’s adult personality. This separation or distancing from one’s childhood is no longer needed when the adult personality is fully and securely formed, but by then, the distancing has for most people become a part of that very personality.

Separation from one’s childhood is temporarily necessary, but if it is permanently maintained it deprives us of inner experiences, which when restored to us, can keep us young in spirit and also permit greater closeness to our children.” ³

There comes a time during a person’s healing work when they would like to investigate and fully understand their unique spiritual traits and authentic personality. This is where Inner Child Work is introduced into a healing practice.

Grieving what once was, and what was lost is a normal part of this experiential journey. Many experts are in the field of phycology and spirituality are exploring their own returning to the child who was once buried, but still is alive within them.

Postural Restoration

Postural Restoration is a unique type of physical therapy that addresses the body’s postural position and the potential muscular imbalances which lead to pain.  Postural Restoration explains how all the pieces of the body – the shoulder, the neck, the back, the hip, the knee and the foot … have to work together to function properly.  It does not claim to have all of the puzzles pieces, which I deeply appreciate, but often the therapists rely upon integrating various specialists including dentists, optometrists and podiatrists. ⁶

I was first introduced to this therapy via youtube, searching “Hip Jaw Connection”. It was the therapy that provided the link the two (hips and jaw).

These are indicators that the pain was too much for us to handle, so removing ourselves from our bodies by ways of numbing or extreme disassociation (feeling removed from the body) what our best way of coping at the time.

‘Soma’ is a Greek word for ‘the living body known from within’, or known to the Self. This ‘knowing’, or returning to the body, signifies wholeness. ⁷

Somatic therapy is an experiential approach towards gently connecting the mind with the body again.

Hi, I’m Cami

The creator of this website!

After years of my own physical struggles, I started recording my personal story. As I wrote, it was natural to reference the therapies that I used through my own healing process.

In a healing journey it becomes a gift to recognize that some healing modalities cost money, and some are completely free and magically drop into your lap.

If I have any advice for someone who is just starting a “healing journey”, I would say:

“Trust God. Don’t limit the power held in your untold stories. God knows you and he knows that you are unique. There are healing clues in the stories that you have never told anyone.

AND, the people that you are supposed to be working with will believe you. They will believe your story, and they will begin to help you see that you have keys to help restore your body.”

This blog was born with my own desire to figure out what was wrong with me. After I took the leap of writing down my story, I was able to find the most wonderful people that had skills to help me connect my story to my symptoms. It’s amazing finding people that have a spiritual reason for being in their profession, and their spirit is a guiding light for them.

I look for these type of “specialist” now. Those who can guide me to the unique needs that my body has.

I believe that creating the guide above, has been a gift–for free, from me, but gathering this information took years of careful combing through information, as well as sifting through my own heartaches, emotional responses.

I hope that it was of some service to you–especially recognizing that you are not alone in your healing journey! It is my greatest desire is that you will return to this website and share some of your own personal story of resolutions, that began with the experience of pain.

Pain and transformation brought me to this space. I invite you to see your pain as an invitation to your body. I believe it has the skill to heal, as you turn to your own innate goodness!

Thank you!
