We create our life stories
– and unless we become consciously aware of our choices, we create from a belief pattern that is in reaction to the environment of our childhoods. If our early childhood was one of support, love, and acceptance, we tend to create lives that reflect our sense of being empowered. If what we experienced was a childhood of feeling alone, rather than that of being supported, guided, safe, and loved, then we tend to create lives that are based on internal confusion and lack of worth. From this perception of our selves and reality, we often end up with lives that are unsatisfying and limited.
Body of Being works on many different levels
At Body of Being we know that these belief patterns can be changed and we can develop lives that come from conscious choices. We also believe that these patterns are imprinted on various levels of being and are best addressed from this perspective. The four basic levels that Body of Being addresses are the emotional, mental, physical, and spiritual. That is why Body of Being is offering and encouraging people to utilize the perspectives and specific healing modalities of not just one therapist, but rather, of our team, thus addressing all levels of healing.
At Body of Being we also recognize that not all emotionally based symptoms can be neatly packaged in the philosophy of reaction and creation. There are biochemical issues, reactions based in current circumstances, reactions to our environment and many more that require support and understanding. We are dedicated to listening and supporting you with what you need. We will not impose a person agenda or philosophy on you.
Children do not neatly fit with the reaction/creation model. They are often very much "in reaction," but the emotional processes of children are unique to their development and environments. This requires specific treatment which Body of Being is very fortunate to be able to offer.
We are a powerful healing team, passionately devoted to our healing modalities, working together to provide the most comprehensive treatment for emotion-based issues.
Nurse Practitioner
(TOP)At body of Being our Nurse Practitioner specializes in working with children and adolescents. She is specifically trained to work with children therapeutically and is an expert in the unique pharmacology of children. Compassionate and dedicated, she transcends the role of practitioner to become an advocate and a voice for children.
Therapy
(TOP)The literal story we tell ourselves about who we are influences our being on all four levels. This story is developed in reaction to our earliest experiences. Because children have limited capacity for understanding, they almost always place experiences in the context of the self, and tend to view the world with black and white thinking. An example of such a view could be, "My parent was not attentive because I was no good," or "My home was not safe; therefore, the world is not safe."
It is important, no matter what the issue, to know the stories we create and come to understand the impact that they are having in our lives. We must understand these stories in the context of where they developed and to hold them with utter compassion. As therapists at Body of Being, we see through compassionate eyes and feel through compassionate hearts. We will hold that place for you until you can occupy it yourself.
Naturopathy
(TOP)Chronic, painful, emotional patterns often become chronic patterns in the body as well: Pain, fatigue, digestive and eating disorders, concentration difficulties, and sleep disorders are just a few examples. At Body of Being, our naturopathic physicians specialize in using natural treatment modalities to address the underlying causes of diseases and to restore health. Vitamins, minerals, amino acids, herbal medicines, homeopathic remedies and customized nutritional plans are some of the treatment methods utilized to aid you in your journey towards well-being.
Body Work
(TOP)Another important aspect of addressing the physical manifestations of emotional patterns is through body work. At Body of Being we have body workers who offer safe, nurturing, skilled, hands-on support for integration and resolution, of emotional trauma. This is powerful work, and a recommended component on your healing journey.
Acupuncture
(TOP)As beings we are not just muscle, bone, and spirit. We are energy systems. We literally generate measurable levels of electricity. It’s not hard then, to imagine that our emotional system is directly tied to this energetic system. In balancing this energetic system through acupuncture we provide a very powerful tool in balancing the emotional, and physical system. Also, acupuncture can remove energetic blocks, giving you more energy, bringing mental clarity, relieving pain, improving sleep, allowing your body access to its natural healing resources, and much more.
Spirit
(TOP)Lastly, but truly not least, we are spiritual Beings. As practitioners at Body of Being, we all overlap some in what we are providing, this is to be expected. But the spiritual aspect doesn’t just overlap; it’s woven into the very fiber of what we do and who we are. All the work we do at Body of Being is spiritual work. Given this, Body of Being also offers practitioners whose specific focus is working with the spiritual body. They assist you in connecting with your spirit and harnessing the unparallel healing power inherent in that connection. We are biased in our opinion at Body of Being, that no healing takes place without the assistance of spirit.
