BREAST CARE

          Having worked in the health care industry since 1975, I am often at a loss as to what really is in our best interests. Cancer, diabetes and heart issues are increasing at epidemic rates. Depression is rampant. The media, pharmaceutical companies, vaccine producers, and our trusted medical personnel constantly bombard us with statistics; launching massive fear based campaigns to help us, the suffering masses, make “healthy” choices. It seems to me that our society, in general, is engaged in an all out war against “pain” of any kind. There are pills for aches, arthritis and muscle strain. Under the tongue melting pharmaceuticals to ease anxiety; any unwanted or uncomfortable emotion in fact. Vaccines abound for just about every childhood malady known to the western world. Pain avoidance is a multimillion dollar industry. In fact it seems to be the grease that keeps much of our society moving.

          I'm not suggesting that pain is in anyway comfortable or that it is acceptable to  purposely create or inflict it on oneanother. But imagine for a moment what life would be like if you were to embrace your pain. That really is what I said.  In a supportive and loving environment, embrace the pain. Examine it's source; let it be for a time; give it space to breathe; room to heal. There would be much less scrambling, tearing, grasping; much more serenity, acceptance, releasing, and growth.

          At this point you are probably wondering what on earth all of this talk of loving your pain has to do with Breast Care. There is a growing sector of light-workers in our world that has come to understand that covering up our pain with what have come to be viewed as “conventional” medical practices, leads to furtherance of suffering in the form of dis-ease. Depression, for example, is the expression of suppressed “painful” emotion. Our physical bodies find many places to store these unwanted, unloved, unresolved, causes of pain; pain that is both physical and emotional. 

          Breast tissue is no exception. Breast cancer rates are phenomenal. One in eight women can “expect” to develop breast cancer. More statistics. Imagine for a moment that the cancer is encapsulating some painful, suppressed experience. It embraces and loves this ”pain”; gives it a place to heal, if we have the awareness to allow that to happen. So what would happen if one was to love and embrace the painful experience before it became entrenched in the body's tissues?  Would there be a need for cancerous growths?

          When women come to me for Breast Care, we work not only with the breast tissue, but also with the lymphatic system The lymphatic system is the transport medium for toxic waste cleanup, as well as the medium for building immune boosting cells It is the “water” of the body. Water is an excellent transport medium for emotions. The breasts are made to nourish and nurture. Emotions are closely associated with both of these acts. Unexpressed, unexplored, unaccepted, emotions will fester and cause cysts, tumours, congestion and dis-ease in the breast tissues.  Re Joyce! Breast Care helps to heal these breast discomforts and dis-eases.

          It is a common occurrence for women to revisit emotional issues while receiving breast care. Issues arise and are released, as the fluids of the breast are freed to move optimally. During these sessions I  hold a space for women to safely examine, express, and release any emotions that arise.

          The physical aspect of the treatment is gentle and never forceful. Rhythmic stretching and releasing of the skin encourages the breast tissue to release it's toxic build up into the lymphatic system, which in turn delivers it's load to the kidneys for disposal as urine. 

          Breast care provides space for both physical and emotional healing to take place. Talk with someone who has experienced a breast care session. Find out how they felt; what moved for them. Weigh your options. You are at choice.
