How can this be, you ask? Well, did you ever wonder how patients get the exact same care and one walks away, unscathed and another exits the planet? I wondered too. I offer the explanation of self-care as a way of understanding. Let’s put it this way, a Doctor will listen to our complaints and then prescribe a course of treatment or further testing to confirm a possible diagnosis. The treatment may involve a change of diet, sleep patterns, exercise, water intake, relaxation response, along with medicine. Some Doctors even recommend massage therapy, acupuncture, counseling and Healing Touch as a prescription.

So, we get the message, but do we do the work? Many folks pop the pills and that is that! They think they have done what the Dr. prescribed, but neglected 80% of what their doctor suggested. We have amazing medicines available to us, but they work in conjunction with our own health habits.

When my clients come for a healing at my holistic healing practice: Buffalo Healing Therapy, they walk away with a “self-care” card and a follow-up appointment of their own choosing. The self-care includes reading (or listening) material to help their intellectual understanding of healing, meditation CD , and a plan for exercise of their choice and a focus on healthful nutrition provided by either a nutritionist or their Doctor. For we are energy workers and are guided by a Code of Ethics to provide energy directions. We must acknowledge the mind-body-spirit connection. So, to that end, my clients set their goals and the healing energy then supports their choices for self-care. The end result is simply miraculous, as folks learn the totality of healing.
