Dreaming up a Diagnosis

Obviously our dreams are a wonderful way to travel to places we can only dream about. As part of our bodies system to store away all the thoughts, images and emotions of our lives, sometimes a dream is just a dream and often we don't remember anything at all except for the fact we have dreamt during our sleep. But invariably, those dreams we need to remember, we do.

The phrase "Physician, heal theyself" states a belief that we all have an ability to heal ourselves. Our bodies are perfect Microsystems, constantly sending and receiving messages both outward to others and inward to ourselves. But exactly how we can connect these conscious and unconscious realms is something we are constantly discovering and learning more about. While the art of diagnosing should always be left to those with the talent, instinct and the education to do so, it is also true that we can provide our health practitioners with many invaluable clues needed for an accurate diagnosis of what is ailing us. By taking the responsibility to help interpret the symptoms, we can in turn direct and insure the ensuing course of correct treatment.

In the quest for good health, it really is a process of recognizing the role we play in helping heal ourselves. Few of us would stand around doing nothing in the face of someone choking. My hope is that having learned a bit more about how your body is equipped to direct you to its specific needs, rather than ignore its messages, you can choose to do all you can to live a long, happy and pain free life.
