Getting Out of the Way: How a Doctor Learned to Heal
Healing comes from within. This is the conclusion of Dr. Steven Weiss who has practiced osteopathic medicine for the past 30 years. Using a wide range of modalities and traditions, Dr. Weiss has made it his aim to help people access the energies within to find their way to healing. By "Getting out of the way" he allows the healing energy to become accessible through him to those hidden places where disease gets in the way of health. "One of the major dilemmas of treating people with pain, and especially chronic pain, is that the source of the problem is almost never where it hurts." He teaches deep listening as a powerful tool to get to the source of pain for healing patients' bodies, to calm their minds, and to support their own healing. Ultimately, he helps patients to "re-member" themselves and become connected with their inmost selves once again. Writer Patty de Llosa shares more from Weiss' journey.
BE THE CHANGE
The next time you feel pain or illness, listen deeply to what your body is telling you and practice compassion towards yourself. Consider what this experience might be opening you up to.
