As we are integrated beings, our body is our Spirit made manifest. What we experience through our body as a "symptom" is the expression of our consciousness through our physical form. Unresolved feelings and habituated patterns will be brought to our awareness through emotional, mental and physical signs.

These reactions will register in every level of our being, depending on our level of vitality, constitutional type and the nature of the stress. In the TransHealing Process, we learn to listen to the body's experience, reminding us of what needs attention and resolution. Dr. Candice Pert, a neurobiologist, summarizes her research into the biochemistry of emotion by saying, "the body is the unconscious mind".

From this perspective, the possibility of being conscious to our body is similar to the healing potential of listening to our dreams, which reflect a deep, vast source of Wisdom within ourselves. It is possible then to shift the context of"symptom" away from the pathological and into the realm of healing guidance.

There are two aspects of treatment in the TransHealing Process that are rooted in the philosophy of Chinese Medicine- they are clearing and nourishing interventions. Unresolved emotional themes tend to stagnate over long periods of time resulting in excesses of unexpressed feelings. On a physical level, poor dietary choices or substance abuse can also create a stagnation of our vital energy.

Acupuncture, gentle touch, breathwork and emotional processing work are combined to assist in clearing these excesses. Once these full places are emptied, we can begin to bring nourishment and support to those aspects of ourselves that believe we are not enough or can not get enough, re-framing those events that led us to these self-limiting conclusions.

Another strength of Chinese Medicine is the evaluative tool of constitutional assessment. This appraisal gives language to a subtle understanding of our nature and therefore allows us to make more appropriate life choices that match our innate capacity with our output into the world. This knowledge can be of great assistance in our emotional and physical self-care planning, as we learn to choose for ourselves from a more informed vantage point.
