Hey, it's Dr. Kim D'Eramo from the American Institute of Mind-Body Medicine. If you've ever had the feeling like you've failed at self-healing like if you have to take that medication or have that procedure or surgery, that somehow you've failed at allowing yourself to be healed. I want to just give you a new perspective on this. I've had a lot of questions this week specifically where people are asking me is it either or? If I'm going to do this mind-body thing, does that mean that I'm not going to use medicine, or I'm not going to have an intervention, or I'm not going to work with an outside practitioner?

You want to get yourself really clear with this. It's really important, especially as a conventional medical doctor who is also practicing mind-body medicine. It is yes and. It's all of the above. We don't want to exclude anything. I had a client recently who required surgery. She'd done so much inner work to align herself with healing, and she invited in this amazing experience with an incredible surgeon and healed incredibly well after the surgery. She's pain free, she has no more disease, and she's doing great, but there was this thought she had like, "Jeez, have I failed? Have I somehow failed to heal myself, and now I have to have this procedure?"

Give yourself a break and just wipe that slate clean. Get rid of that idea that it's either or. When you align yourself fully, you can welcome in the ideal people to work with, maybe supplements that are hugely beneficial, or an intervention or a surgical procedure. You'll find that less is needed, and that you heal very well using those modalities. It's both and.

Take the time to align yourself within. Get yourself aligned with the healing, the energy, the vitality, being pain free, and welcome in the outside resources that match that. When we do it the opposite way, we try to grasp for all of the medication or, "I just need this surgery, " or, "I'm broken, please fix me." We're looking to that practitioner to be our savior. You will never have the result you want. It's more a matter of your inner alignment in how you're receiving the opportunities and the resources rather than just what those resources are themselves.

I hope this is helpful, and I'm definitely interested in your comments. Be sure you're subscribed at drkimd.com for more on mind-body medicine, and be well. I will see you soon.
