The theme that emerged at Pathway Balancing this month was the need for regular self care and nurturing. One of the kinesiology students practised Touch For Health on her friend, every day for three days. The transformation of her friend was stunning! I’d forgotten how amazing this therapy can be.
Transformation is the theme of the Channel 4 program ‘10 Years Younger’. A team of professionals give someone a drastic make-over in order to reduce their appearance by at least 10 years. To me it’s not so much the age of the person that’s relevant as their state of neglect! Some women look 70+ while still only in their 40’s. Many are smokers who never exercise or watch their diet. Most don’t use suncreams, moisturisers or have a professional haircut. Holistic health isn’t even mentioned.
The effects of a few months of pampering and professional care and advice, show just what can be achieved if we look after ourselves. The program always reassures me it’s worth our time, money and effort to take care of our health and appearance throughout life.
Seeing these programmes, and watching the effects of energy balancing on clients and students, has inspired me to increase the amount of treatments I have for myself. I wondered initially if I was spending too much money on therapy, but then I saw a new client who had suffered drastic health problems as a result of stress and self-neglect. It reminded me that in some cases, the results of poor health choices can be irreversible. For me, I cannot afford to neglect regular self nurturing. Good professional care and advice, plus the best quality products, are now a high priority.
