Using Rhythm to Reinforce Your Healing Practice
adapted from "Awakening Beauty the Dr. Hauschka Way"
It is good to have a massage, acupuncture, chiropractic care or other therapy, but one session will not create lasting effect. The reason is that the impact of the treatment will dissipate with time. On order for healing touch, massage, acupuncture and other forms of mind, body, spirit health care to transform you, their effects must be reinforced with regular treatments. If you want to maximize the power of those treatments, use rhythm to reinforce their healing effects.
Let's say you see a practitioner weekly, or even once a month. Schedule your appointments for the same day each week, or each month, at the same hour-for example 3 P.M. every Thursday, or 3 P.M. on the third Thursday of each month. Your body, mind and spirit will then become aware that they are getting a boost of healing energy in a rhythmic, or wavelike, pattern. With continued treatments, that pattern will be reinforced, deepened, and strengthened. Soon, your internal rhythms will rise automatically as the time approaches for your treatment, thus boosting your self-healing forces and conditioning your body to heal.
