To experience continual personal growth throughout our life, we must always be on a journey of healing and supporting our physical body and our emotional body. Our physiology certainly impacts our psychology and there is no doubt that our psychology impacts our physiology. Simply put, our unresolved emotions, conflicts, traumas and imbalanced perceptions can create illness in our body and have a profound affect on our relationship with food.
For 21 years I have been exploring the physical, emotional and soulful reasons that contribute to my client’s manifestation of symptoms, weight challenges, unwanted eating behaviors and chronic illness. Of course there are many factors that contribute to imbalances, disease and disharmony in the body – genes, epigenetics, viruses, bacteria, inadequate nutrition, nutrient deficiencies, misaligned spines, chronic stress, poor lifestyle choices, etc, and majority of the time, I find there is also an emotional component.
Along with getting to the physical root causes we also explore the psychosomatic ones – the emotions that literally create our illnesses. We explore how those unresolved emotions can impede weight loss, trigger emotional eating, cravings and binge eating, and contribute to fatigue, pain and illness in the body. Those clients that do the emotional work with me have the greatest results and wellness outcomes compared to those who don’t.
If you are not exploring the emotional factors linked to your health, eating and weight challenges, you could be missing one of the most important pieces of your wellness puzzle. I see it repeatedly—people with chronic health problems, weight and eating issues going to so many different doctors, practitioners, diet programs, taking medications, supplements, trying all sorts of nutritional interventions and still dealing with their same issues after spending thousands and thousands of dollars on physical interventions alone. The physical interventions are essential, but often they can only take us so far if there is emotional healing to be done. Oftentimes when we explore and resolve our emotions, the physical interventions begin to work more effectively.
One of the most effective tools I use in my practice is called The Demartini Method®. It is a series of questions that helps to shift perceptions, neutralize emotions, and equilibrate the mind. No matter what person, situation or circumstances a client is dealing with, we can utilize this transformational method and ask quality questions to resolve an issue that may be blocking them and creating stress in their life and health.
Often the biggest reason we have emotions is because we are not doing what we love. We are not living in alignment with what we value and creating meaningful lives. Every symptom, unwanted eating behavior and illness we experience is our body’s way of giving us feedback to help get authentic, live authentically and get us back to living our rightful path, mission and purpose.
Whether you are dealing with minor, moderate or extreme health problems—digestive, inflammatory, hormonal, autoimmune, metabolic syndrome, skin, rapid aging, depression, anxiety, neurological, weight gain or emotional eating issues—there is physical AND emotional work to be done. It takes time, the right practitioner, the right support for you. But the longer you put off and ignore your emotional wounds the longer and harder it is to reach your full wellness potential.
Trust that there is a light at the end of the tunnel for whatever challenge you face. Emotional wounds are opportunities for growth. They are doorways waiting to be opened. Once they are explored and you can see how these events in your life have served you and shaped who you are and have had just as many blessings, benefits and gifts than hardships, drawbacks and negatives then you experience light, vitality, regulation, equilibration and another rung of growth on your journey.
If you would like to work with me to nourish your body, mind and soul, and turn emotional wounds into personal growth and healing, I invite you to contact me for a consultation. https://www.amybondar.com/
