Pain Relief Tool – Accessing the Body’s Messages
Since this mind-body tool is so visual, I thought I’d share it via video rather than words. You can do these drawings with either your right or left hand, though using your left hand will sometimes facilitate the process. (This is because it helps you access the right hemisphere of your brain, the holder of… Continue reading Pain Relief Tool – Accessing the Body’s Messages
