I’m a big fan of alternative therapies. I love a spot of reiki, a sound bath, energy healing or a crystal or two. I’ve had chiropractic treatment for years. I meditate (that’s very much a work in progress). I’m a firm believer that your body knows how to heal itself. So when a friend suggested I go for Bowen Technique, I thought I’d give it a whirl. I figured it would help with my ribs.
Bright and early, I headed for my 8:30am appointment. Slightly trepidatious, but with an open mind. It was weird and super cool. She instantly spotted I’m a wonky donkey. So worked on straightening me up, evening my leg length and giving my rib cage more space. I definitely felt the benefits of it. Well once my body had processed it all and settled into it. To start off with, I felt most peculiar.
As I was leaving, I spotted this bumper sticker. It made me laugh. I think we should all adopt it as a motto. I’m hoping that all of the mindfulness and holistic treatments will prevent dementia. The numberous concussions and bashes to the head might counteract that. Worth a shot though, right?!
In a way, this is part of my mindfulness. My little daily post gives me a creative outlet to share my highs and lows, my woes and wins, my laughs and tears. It’s been quite the rollercoaster ride since I started in 2020. I’ve always done this is for me as much as anyone. If my musings help brighten someone’s day, that’s a bonus.
When I’m struggling, I go back to the beginning to read the post. Boy have I come a long way since then… If you’ve joined along the journey, and need a giggle, feel free to go back to the start too.
