Inner Sage

Medical intuitive Caroline Myss states that true healing is never purely a physical event, but rather, true healing always involves a spiritual experience. A change must occur on a much deeper, spiritual level in order for long-lasting healing to take place.

In today's society, we have become distracted by the superficiality of modern living (toys, gadgets, money) that it's easy to lose track of our true purpose. Because of the way that our society has evolved, we all exist in survival mode, where the goal of each day is to earn enough currency to purchase our own "worth" in the world. This "worth" buys us a sense of security. But of course it is a false sense of security because the infrastructure on which it is based is not immune to the impermanent nature of the universe. Underneath all the superficiality is innate wisdom that exists in every individual. Let's call this an individual's 'Inner Sage'. The Inner Sage is still connected to its origins and remembers the true path. The Inner Sage is a person's true, authentic self. The Inner Sage is free of external influences, and follows their true path in order to realize their full potential. The Inner Sage is connected to their immediate environment, as well as to the Universe. Because of this, they understands the fluid, cyclical and changing nature of the Universe. Therefore, they are able to maintain health and well-being because they remain flexible and resilient like nature.

The role of the practitioner is to act as a facilitator to awaken the Inner Sage in all patients, encouraging them to become their own caretakers and empowering them to take responsibility for their own health. The practitioner is much like the gardener who plants the seed. The patient is responsible for nurturing and caring for the plant (watering, feeding) for it to thrive and remain healthy.
