The new school year is upon us and for some of our kiddos (and mamas and papas), that can mean mounds of anxiety as we approach the new once again.

How do we learn from this feeling, and more importantly, how do we navigate it and teach the youngest among us how to navigate it as well?

Like the hands, feet, ears, and tongue, the eyes can be a literal map to the internal body. In fact the study of Iridology provides maps of the iris and pupil and demonstrate which parts relate to which parts of the body. Various color changes, thickenings, or spots called "lacunas" can be a physical indicator that a body system could use some support.

I had an interesting conversation with a client last week. In truth, however, it's one I have pretty frequently.

A client will come in with this frustration, this one main challenge they are trying to get through, and they pin it down to this one main problem.

However, as we are having conversation and getting to know the person and their body better, we might hear other topics mentioned, like that motor vehicle accident they had, or the autoimmune that is in the family, or the thyroid disorder or the diabetes and cancer.

Am I unsolvable?

Believe it or not this is such a common question when people finally reach my desk.

They're really wondering by this point:

* Can anyone help me?

* Can anybody help me or am I just unfixable?

This is a very disempowering place to be. If we know anything about healing, being disempowered isn't going to support the effort. I believe that people need to believe they can heal and that they are in fact capable with the right direction and guidance.
