As a Holistic Massage therapist, I believe in order to find lasting relief, we must travel upstream to discover the root causes of our health concerns. Sure, getting a massage to relieve our tension and pain is wonderful! But, it won’t last if the root cause isn’t dealt with.
Are you carrying around baggage that is weighing you down? Do you find yourself overwhelmed by life’s to do’s? Is anxiety and depression stealing your joy? Do you fear the future afraid of the unknown? These are all emotional burdens, that will manifest themselves in our bodies when left dormant.
For me, surrendering my burdens to my Lord Jesus was the most important releasing therapy I could’ve done. Once I gave my burdens to Him, I was lighter in spirit and less weighed down by anxiety and fear. Massage came second, as it helped release muscular tension brought on by dormant stress. When a bump comes in the road, and a trial arises, I have learned to give it to God, wait and trust. I don’t have to have it figured out, and that is okay because Go d does.
Living this way, has helped me stop internalizing stress and instead dancing in the rain, and experiencing His peace that surpasses all understanding! Getting rid of stress, anxiety, and tension doesn’t mean the hard things in life go away. No! It means when things get hard, we know how to deal with it in a way it doesn’t manifest itself in a physical body ailment. There is a wrong way to handle stress, and I realized I had been doing it wrong for years! I had digestive issues, anxiety, fear, rock hard muscles, and tension. I knew there had to be a better way, and Jesus taught me how.
I pray you find the same healing, and experience His peace today.♡
~much love, Merci Bailey
