Insights from the treatment room #2
Reflecting today on the price we pay for the parts of us that remain undeveloped.
A woman came for a treatment with a health history intake form longer than any I have encountered. It read as a timeline of one incident after another—her body was completely overwhelmed.
Through muscle testing, she discovered something important for herself: if she were to get better, her family would place even more demands on her. She already felt overrun by their expectations, and lived in an environment where she wasn’t allowed to exist autonomously. She hadn’t developed the strength to refute the guilt they placed when she was faithful to herself, and she hadn’t learnt to say no.
So her body stepped in.
Her symptoms became her shield—her only way of saying enough—but at an extraordinary cost.
Master Dhyan Vimal peaks about how we are meant to be well, that we are designed to grow to thrive. And when that isn’t happening, the question becomes: what is in the way?
In her case, it was her inability to stand independently, to assert that she mattered. It appears this may be her first, and arguable most important work as a beginning.
