Over my years of teaching and practice, one thing has become crystal clear:
We humans are rarely taught that our body and its sensations, emotions, past traumas, and pains can be… medicinal.
Yes, you read that right, medicinal!
What I have also seen is that those who start to trust that they can become their own medicine become living examples of what might seem ‘miraculous’ via the mainstream medical model.
SmartBody SmartMind (SBSM) student, Jean is a prime example of such a ‘miracle’ in action.
Today, I want to celebrate her progress after 29 years of living with chronic pain and “trying everything in the book” to find relief from fibromyalgia.
She is still a work in progress – in her own words, “not fixed, but healing.”
She thought the neurosensory exercises I was teaching were “dumb.”
(Don’t worry Jean, I’ve heard this many times before!!)
She procrastinated, resisted, but she also persisted.
In a world obsessed with quick fixes, hacks, and shortcuts, she’s here to tell the tale of becoming her own medicine.
I hope you take some time to hear her story.
I might be so bold as to say that it’s exactly what the world needs to hear right now.
