In Traditional Chinese Medicine, the body has a distribution network that creates a highway for three essential substances to flow throughout the body. This distribution network called the Meridian System looks like a giant web, linking different areas of our body together. Its pathways make up a comprehensive yet complex body map that supplies vital energy to every part of the body. Philosophically, the Meridian System explains how we live, and why we become sick.
For the past 12 years, I have incorporated the wisdom of the Enneagram personality system as well as the healing energy work of Reiki. They compliment each other perfectly and to be honest, though I am open to many other modalities, I did not feel the need to add anything else to my practice. Then in 2011, upon return from a phenomenal trip to South Africa – something new entered my field of awareness. My stepmom became very ill immediately after arriving home from our trip and after a trip to the doctor’s office to have blood work done – a friend recommended that she see a biontologist in her area. By this point she had been extremely ill for a week and my father was quite concerned. So they decided to go and she felt immediate relief from the illness.
I don’t know about you, however just when I think that I have my life figured out and relatively lined up, a day comes along that changes everything. It has been a few weeks since I have posted a blog because one of those days happened. I lost my father on March 6th, 2 weeks after going into the hospital to check out why he was experiencing discomfort in his chest. Now that’s a big change in my life and one that I will take time to integrate fully. I have an amazing family and support network with caring friends and that absolutely makes this easier to move forward with. I also know that my dad is an integral part of who I am so he lives on in me, and in the people he touched and that is the precious eternal part of our circle of life.
