How Nervous System Healing Helped Me Move From Anxiety to Ease
What Is Vitalism and Why Does It Matter?
Have you ever wondered why we cannot fully understand someone's mood, pain, or even digestion from simply looking at one system of the body?
Vitalism says that the whole is greater than the sum of it's parts. In essence, a living being is not just a mechanical sum of cells, organs, and systems—but is animated by a vital force or innate intelligence that organizes and guides life.
In dis-ease this intelligence distorts itself in an effort to understand the input of life, and in healing this intelligence reorganizes itself through release, reconnection, and nerve system recalibration.
My First Experience With Nervous System Recalibration
I had just begun to understand these concepts while under the care of a gentle intuitive chiropractor during graduate school. At that time, I was pretty uncomfortable in my own skin, anxiety was a baseline and high tension was the norm. Each nervous system healing session was a push and pull between deeper breaths and the discomfort. It took me several months to begin to experience a new reality where longer exhales and a more relaxed outlook were suddenly surprisingly common.
A Life-Changing Trip That Shifted My Path
After about a year, I truly felt like a different person. I not only seemed to recalibrate after lifelong anxiety to ease but shook off the compounded stress of graduate school and started to remember my dreams, the real ones that led me there soul-first to begin with. This was around the time that I was introduced to one of my mentors, Sukhi Muker, read his book, Beyond Body, Beyond Mind and was invited onto a humanitarian trip where I met him and other practitioners offering this style of care in person.
This trip was incredible impactful, it blew my heart open serving underprivileged communities, and it was a speedy track to personal/spiritual development and personal evolution.
There was a moment where the experienced practitioners offered us hands-on healing. While I lay on the table one afternoon with my eyes closed I felt a contact made on my left foot that was like lightening jolt. It felt like my entire system shifted and re-organized around this point. I later got the chance to ask my practitioner what this was, I was told it was a "pillar" pattern, essentially the culmination of not just one pattern that was ready to process and integrate but a sum of about 20 patterns that were collapsed as dormant energy and now set in motion for greater flow of my energy, communication, and overall vitality.
The Birth of Heart of Life
From that moment on the week proceeded to be life changing for me, from the heartfelt journaling, service from my own hands, receiving hands-on integration, and truly prioritizing my vitality. I made powerful intentions that shifted the course of my life that week.
When returning back to my current reality, I felt a bit as if I had outgrown it, in just a matter of seven days.
I had to make some hard choices to let things go and move on, and I got to start working on my actual deep seeded dreams - one of which is Heart of Life, as you know it today.
Your Invitation to Reconnect With Your Vitality
I share this to inspire and spark the glimpses of hope, healing, and dreams in you.
While everybody's path is unique, we each share special gifts that are innate to only us. I believe it's our job to uncover them, to be the best we can be.
I've been working on relaunching my course with foundational concepts I learned on this trip and took forward into my life over the coming years. The principles inside are both the groundwork that allowed me stability, and a foundation to take life in a new direction, as well as the baseline that I return to again and again throughout my life.
I have had the pleasure of sharing this course with folks in the past and have really enjoyed witnessing those that are brand new to this process lay a solid foundation, and those experienced in it to receive gems and fine tune their process exponentially enhancing their vitality.
