What Comes to Mind When You Consider Your Health
and Well-being?
January 2011
I see health and well-being as key measures of your success. I believe that, as a human being, you fundamentally seek balance and harmony in life. When your physical, mental, spiritual and emotional experiences are in balance you have health. With the conscious cultivation of harmony you have well-being.
How that looks will vary with your unique approach and life experience. How that looks is also up to you! How do you want to show up in life? What is possible when the path ahead is clear? What is possible when your relationships are an authentic expression of your deepest values and desires? What is possible if you could only sort out all the confusion and feelings that you have?

Feeling whole and at my best
Over the years, I have fallen in and out of life balance as a matter of course. What I have discovered is that I feel whole and at my best when I actively cultivate the following:
* Good physical health rooted in exercise, nutrition and rest
* A rich intellectual life of exploration, learning and delight in nature and the arts
* Communities and affinity groups where I can make a contribution and receive support
* Intimate connection and communication with those who inspire my emotional growth and self-expression
* Access to my untapped inner resources that invite new aliveness and vitality
I encourage you to take action to support yourself in these ways. You can feel better and enjoy life more fully. You can make a difference as your choices reflect the person you really are. I wonder if there are other areas that are important to you.

Time to turn inward
Most of us carry the impact of life experiences that threw us off balance at a young age. We learned to adapt to circumstances and made decisions that made sense at the time. Along the way, we forgot that we made those decisions and why. We carry the impact in our tight muscles, unconscious habits, and inflexible behaviors. As we age, some of the beliefs and decisions from childhood begin to create stress and stuck feelings and can undermine everything in our lives. In my experience, that's the time to turn inward and begin to tap the wisdom of the body.
Can you recall a time when one issue dominated your attention for an extended period of time or required so much energy that other aspects of life were excluded? What happened? Did you find yourself managing persistent and demanding problems in another area? Did you take on excessive levels of stress and anxiety trying to maintain or recover balance and harmony?
In my Rosen Method bodywork practice, I address the contradictions, conclusions, thoughts and beliefs that live in your unconscious and play havoc with your best intentions and your desire for health and well-being. Through skillful touch and listening, I engage with you and your experience of life to give you access to the parts of you that have been left behind, forgotten, or silenced.

A reason to act
As a result, you feel more alive and awake to the life that you are creating. Deep rest and relaxation pave the way. As old problems and issues surface and disappear, you are free to follow new interests, deepen your relationships, learn new skills and develop mastery in areas of life that fascinate and inspire you.
