Early on this year around January, on the eve of this particular leg of my decisive move towards a more life filled life, I was very in touch with my heart and lungs. I work with a body psychotherapist and a clinical supervisor. Both requirements if I am to adequately support my vulnerable clients. At that time I was also working with a cranio-sacral oesteopath because my physical symptoms were extreme and I was unable to walk properly let alone work properly. I was becoming more and more aware of a sense that there was a real confusion in me around what was safe to take in and what to let go of. This included anything from food to air to love..and I was feeling it physically and emotionally simultaneously. I was also making lots of images around this theme. I had a seminal session with my oesteopath Julia Findlay.http://www.claphamfamilyosteopath.co.uk/
For a full explanation of how cranio-sacral oesteopathy works see:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Craniosacral_therapy. Simplistically a cranio-sacral oesteopath works with the body's vibrations. She or he will be highly trained at being extremely attuned to your body's rhythms through a almost meditative 'listening' to and feeling sense of your body involving gentle touch. It is an amazing form of treatment and it works. Anyway I was walking around with this confusion and it was making me very uncomfortable. There were not words then to express it but I knew what it felt like very well. I went for a treatment with Julia because she has helped me to feel more balanced many times before when I had had injuries from falling off my bike, breaking my ribs , my wrist and my ankle to abiding lower back problems. All sign posts from my body that something was already really amiss. I was in a really bad way and after a very deap session she was able to describe to me that she had felt very powerfully that the pericardial chambers to my heart were so tightly constricted that my heart was having great difficulty with circulating blood and essential fluids. So Julia and I were literally quite breathless because this of course is the whole basis of 'unconventional' medicine. Of course the physical and the emotional are so intrinsically intertwined and to have it confirmed that all of my 'felt-sense' of the state of play in my body had a basis in reality was very helpful and awesome indeed...

and so my first attempt at explaining the roots of this chapter of my journey to rude health. I hope it's made some sense to you.if not why not take a bold step and leave a comment or question for me. I'd love it if you did.
