How many of us are dealing with one or two of these illnesses. Trauma comes from abuse, mentally, from your children, family issues, work, partner, childhood. It can also be from a hysterectomy, C-section, surgery, death. What happens when you finally sit down, and the world feels like it is caving in on you. You retire, lose your job what then? That is when most bodies break down due to life changes.
Massage is underrated and not looked at as healing for the body. We go to the Doctor for a quick fix. However, never getting down to the root cause of the pain. At times we will mask the pain with medication or keeping busy. The client thinks I am causing their pain until I tell them to touch their pain and are shocked. Your pain and trauma are yours, and you came in because you no longer wanted to deal with it. When massaging your body, we walk you through your body from toe to head, re-introduce you to the new you and your trauma bond restoring your mind and body. Do you know God was the first person to give a massage? What did you say? Hmmm. Yes, He was, read Psalm 23. Did you see it? He laid David down to restore his soul. Wow! We overlook this scripture and verse. Think about the scene when you get a massage. Massage is not for the rich and sexual pleasure. Satan has distorted our minds to take our minds from the gift of God. I am sure the Bible is not wrong. The ministry throughout the Bible was all about touch. God open my eyes, showed me people, will be coming to see me are not always going to be in the best of health or shape but accept them and allow me to work through you. The perpetrator will apologize and promise the hurtful behavior won't happen again, but deep inside, you know it will. You begin to wonder whether you instigated the abuse, yet the emotional or physical pain you know is real. Whenever are you questioning yourself? You might be experiencing domestic abuse right now.
You are caught in a cycle of and asking how did you get here? The feelings of isolation from your family, friends, the loss, that you have nobody to go to right now. When you are in an abusive relationship, there is always an imbalance of power and control. The abuser might feel inadequate and may have personal issues. they have a tendency to want to dominate the conversation, try, and intimidate you, at home or in public, saying hurtful words. They also believe you are their property and can take sex any time they want it. It is easy to identify domestic violence, but not so easy to notice verbal, financial, spiritual, or mental abuse. It is a little harder because there are no physical scars. Whether scars are left or not, it is still abuse. Many abusive relationships are clear from the outset abuse often starts subtly and gets worse over time. You might be experiencing domestic abuse if you're in a relationship with someone who: Calls you names, insults, or puts you down, isolates discourage you from seeing family members or friends, talk about your family or best friend, wants to know you every move, turns up unexpectedly at work, or call at inappropriate times. Tries to control the family budget, money spending, where you go, your diet, and how you should look. Pretends to be jealous, manipulative, possessive, accuses you of being unfaithful, and that you don't love them, and sometimes using your family has bate. If alcohol or drugs are in use, blaming you for their problem, telling you you drove them to it. This behavior is when it can escalate to violence, which starts with punching doors, or walls, shove, slap, then hitting you with a weapon, which sometimes ends with them choking you. The abuser will shout at the children and also degrading you in front of them. Forces you to have sex or engage in sexual acts against your will. Blames you for his or her violent behavior or tells you that you deserve it. Part to to be continued... You do not deserve it! We gifted Gina j. Penson with this cushion because she was the cat concierge. Gina was one of our volunteers when the virus started in 2020. Purple Light Touch Foundation and Mid Cities Family Lions Club partnered together to make face masks for those in need. Gina kept us on our toes, making sure we were using our sanitizer and socially distant. With a heavy heart, Gina passed away not to the virus but to a Stroke. She was so worried about getting the virus.
We worry each day about the wrong things in life., not realizing the stress and pressure were putting on ourselves. Whenever our season is over, it's God's choosing He is the only one in control. Many of us are worrying about the virus, stop worrying, and have more faith. REIP Thank you for being part of our family. |
