Talking About Hearing Loss

Onset hearing loss is usually gradual, so it can take a long time for people with hearing impairment to realize there is a problem. While starting a conversation with a loved one experiencing hearing loss may be difficult, it’s a key step towards a solution. Strategies for having productive conversations include: *Aim to have serious discussions early in the day, before navigating daily activities. *Ask helpful questions to create an open dialogue and make everyday communication easier. For examples: “Should we have this conversation in a quieter location?” *Focus on facts and specific symptoms and encourage them to get a professional evaluation.

Overcome Stress-Induced Pain

When we are under stress, our nervous system operates in the sympathetic mode, triggering the fight-or-flight response. Prolonged stress and poor management can cause us to get stuck in this mode, leading to muscle, organ, gland, and joint tightness. This unresolved stress results in pain, bone misalignment, and body exhaustion.

Energy Clearing for Arthritis Relief

Emotions aren’t just in our minds—they’re stored in our bodies, often manifesting as physical discomfort or disease. Arthritis, for example, can be a reflection of unresolved emotions. The location of arthritis in the body can indicate specific emotions needing release. For instance, arthritis in the hands may relate to control issues or holding on too tightly, while in the knees, it may signify fear or inflexibility. By using energy clearing techniques, we can release these stored emotions, reducing the physical symptoms and getting to the root cause. Addressing these emotional roots can help to prevent the recurrence of discomfort, fostering true healing.
