MindBodyMeets with Dr Morella Lascurain

With so many symbols attached to the heart, blood and vessels, the life stories that relate to  pathologies of these body parts are very complex. However, there is potential for healing in discovering what stresses or emotions need to be addressed in each case. 

Frequent conditions such as current cystitis, urinary stones and even bedwetting in a child go hand in hand with the emotions involved in personal relationships.  In this episode, we also touch on stress incontinence and some of the themes found in kidney disease. 

Our minds and especially our emotions are intimately connected to our guts. From butterflies to feeling gutted, altered digestion is amongst the first symptoms of us experiencing our life as difficult. 

Skin conditions are so common: eczema, psoriasis, acne, hyperhydrosis, alopecia, rosacea... what are the emotional conflicts behind these disorders?

Pain in the lumbar area, which we discussed last week, is the most common type of back pain.  How about the rest of the spine? From the neck down to the pelvis, each area seems to relate to different meanings and experiences.

Back pain is one of the most common and debilitating reasons to seek healthcare. It is also often difficult to treat with medication and surgery. What if there was a MindBody component to it that could be addressed to trigger healing? 

In this episode, we discuss the meanings and stories behind Hashimoto's thyroiditis, and how a weekend seminar exploring these helped normalise the thyroid's function of a third of attendees. One of our practitioners brings up a case of thyrotoxicosis that resolved with lifestyle changes.  

Disconnection is at the core of ill health. How can we explain disconnection on a planet with over 7 billion people? What can do as individuals and as a community to feel like we belong?

Gratitude is the art of appreciating what we already have. It works best when done daily, as part of a regular practice. It also works best when we use our senses.

Trauma results from our incapacity to process negative events and soothe the emotions that are triggered by them. Trauma happens to some degree in everyone's lives, and all of us carry wounds that make us suffer. In this episode, we explain an effective technique to go back in time and help the old self to settle down.
