The word “heal” often times suggests ill health or disease – that there is something “wrong” to begin with. I invite you to look at it just a little differently. In some ways, health could be thought of as a physical manifestation of well-being or a general lack of disease. Or, it could be looked at as a complex and beautiful system of balance and equanimity. The body as a microcosm of the Universe with all it’s peaks and valleys. Health could mean creating an ever-flowing symbiotic relationship within nature, within yourself… balancing the stresses and emotions of daily existence both internally and externally, and within life itself.
