Powerful works of art emanate energy, and inspire us, as they give us a boost that we can use in our healing our body-systems. In looking at one particularly amazing work of art, I see man being electrified by the personified Almighty-a transfer of power when man is energized by the spiritual power of The Almighty. Michelangelo was brilliantly able to re-contectualized the energy of spirit for all mankind to appreciate. And like Michelangelo who spent years laboring through the murals that are awe inspiring, healing is such a journey. Do what you need to do. Pray, heal, move, speak in kindness, act with compassion. Treat yourself to great works of art and music, re-enegize .
In my work to rehabilitate patients with life-changing injuries - often the result of a traumatic event - I have found that it is necessary to engage the whole patient. My treatment objective is to facilitate an active, internal journey to improved health.
