Ele-Mental Health:

There are many common conditions in the physical body that either contribute to or cause mental and emotional unrest. From chronic inflammation to nutrient deficiencies to hormonal imbalances, the body and mind are very much connected, and when one is not fully well, neither will be the other. These causes must be addressed in order to bring us to a balanced and peaceful Self.

On the level of mind and emotions, we have the many stresses, cultural and family influences, and traumas we have taken on, both in our present and in our past, and in our concerns for the future. These experiences are most often the determinants of how much time our nervous system spends in 'fight, flight, freeze or fawn' mode. We must learn and practice re-training our nervous system into 'rest and digest' mode as a vital first step to bring us to a balanced and peaceful Self in the midst of all that is around us and within us that can push us out of our centre. And then we must begin the process of clearing what we are carrying that doesn't benefit us.

On the level of spirit, we can feel disconnected from something larger than ourselves. This can go by many names, of course. Source, Creator, Great Spirit, God/dess, the Universe. This connection gives us access to a flow of energy and perspective that supports our movement into being a whole Self. One way that we can find or re-establish this connection, bringing us to a balanced and peaceful Self, is through a deepening relationship with Nature and understanding ourselves to be of Nature rather than apart from it. This helps our spirit to remain grounded in our human being-ness in this Earthly existence we're sharing, so that we can fully manifest our purpose in this lifetime.

Are you ready to begin (or continue) your path of transformation to a peaceful and balanced mind and emotions and fully inhabit your body so that you can flourish?
